All the way real, J. Cole is one of the best in the game. And Wow...Horrible, I can agree with you on those picks for lyricism, but J.Cole and Drake are 2 different artists. #1, Drake has strayed away from what he used to sound like, he didn't sound anything like this, I mean his style is now Young Money. #2, all I gotta say is listen to The Come Up and The Warm up, and you will see what it is. The mixtapes are crazy and something you can actually LISTEN to and not tolerate. He actually raps, produces his own beats, AND writes his own lyrics. I'm sorry, that's hard to find nowadays! He FINISHED college just to do music, and he said if the rap thing didn't work, he'd go right back for his master's. This is a real dude not posing like DRAKE's trash ass.
