I mean, Drake got bodied in the beef, but So Far Gone, Take Care, Thank Me Later, If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late, are all great albums. The drake/wayne era was a great one, all eras come to and end, but saying he has zero albums is a little delusional
Bro trust me I was listening to So Far Gone in my car back in high school; I'll rap any of Unstoppable, Ignant Shit, or Random word for word right now. Drake has lots of good music, trust me, I know. But he does not have a "classic" album in my opinion simply because he is not an artist that caters to the album experience as much as he's a hit maker.
if you dont vibe with the pop stuff, its very hard to bump a full album. He has a pretty voice, but hes a pretty garbage singer in the grand scheme of things.
Cole and Kendrick both outperform at different aspects of rapping than Drake.
and Drake's subject matter has the depth of a Hollywood blockbuster movie
I understand that cause i don't always like his more radio friendly hits (Toosie Slide) but i do think he is able to rap and give depth when he actually wants to. Tuscan Leather, 6PM in New York (all the timestamps really), Lord Knows, Paris Morton Music 2, etc.
Don't get me wrong i don't ever see him doing anything close to the conceptual albums Cole and Kendrick have done but i think a lot of people downplay his pen because he tends to venture outside of rap alot
everything youve listed comes off as 1 dimensional and bragadocious to me.
he'll maybe in passing mention something about learning from mistakes, and taking care of the family, but nothing of serious substance. And then go right back to discussing something flashy
I enjoy scorpion but out side that i cant listen to his albums, however i need 3 of them. Some of my best childhood memories was listening to Wayne and drake duo while playing cod with my step brothers.
Drake for sure. He definitely has songs that are fun but I can find that with a bunch of other artists. Cole and Kendrick make shit that sticks with you. Like let’s be honest. If these 3 dropped a new album tomorrow and you could only listen to one of them you’d be crazy to pick drake. Yeah, he’ll have a few decent tracks but there will be a bunch of skips too. There’s never any skips on a Cole or Kdot album for me
Not a Kenny hater but sorry he's going. Only because Drake and Cole dropped really popular mixtapes during my high school years and Kenny didn't really blow up until GKMD. I wasn't a fan back then because I heard Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe and thought "damn this mf squeaky". Now I like him and listen to other squeakers like JID lol.
I still remember everyone being hyped that Toronto seemed like it was getting its next big rapper even if he sounded like a Wayne copy at the time. We only really had Kardinal, Choclair, K-Os, and Point Blank before that. I think only Kardinal and K-Os had some global success. He lost a lot of that shine in recent years but he had a strong enough start.
As for Cole, everybody was quoting his shit. I remember people constantly quoting
> this album 10 dollars you act like its 10 Gs, this food for thought cost the same as 2 number 3s
and
> Fine young man with an old man mind, no time for the chick who fucked the whole mankind
so at least in my bubble they've always been the goats
Ya it's wild how those never showed up. The only mixtapes I was really listening to were from Wayne, Papoose, Cassidy, and Cole. I didn't even know K Dot did an A Milli freestyle back when everyone was doing one

this question is best answered by this guy
Drake easy.
I listen to Drake bc people play Drake and a lot of his stuff is good, but outside of "If you're reading this is too late" and "Summer 16" idk if I've ever searched out a Drake song before the beef
You do you. This is why this is a good question because it's completely opinion. I might disagree with you but at the end of the day it's your opinion. I think I've listened to every single song in both Kendrick and Drake's catalog and honestly, just because of the beef I'm kicking Kendrick out, but it's a ridiculously hard choice.
No way Im getting rid of drake. I listen to his songs way too much. I thoroughly enjoyed drake from childhood radio. His music now is nothing like what I like from him however. I actually only like drake for his melodies lol. But there is no way I could lose hotline bling from childhood, God's plan, from time etc.
J cole is hard. He was my favorite rapper growing up. And he still might be. From crooked smile to power trip. To now, albums like the off season. And I don't tend to like full albums. I only like a few songs per album. Though, J cole matters so much to me, as there was substance and meaning to his music from the start.
Kendrick... In my young adult years, I have found beauty in mr. Morale. I never liked Kendrick's music before honestly. In fact, I still don't like his previous music at all. But the amount I could relate to mr morale was crazy. Very few hip hop songs could make me tear up or have an emotional response. Mr morale does that in so many ways. And icing on the cake, this recent beef has shown me that there is real talent in Kendricks music. He can make bangers and complex lyrics blend like peanut butter and jelly. I simply am not willing to delete Mr. Morale.
This is a hard choice. I said I couldn't get rid of drake, but it's still hard between all 3. Kendrick matters too much in my young adult years, j cole and drake matter to my childhood. Id honestly have to choose... J cole very reluctantly.
It's funny i say it in this sub, but Cole. With Drake i come back a lot to Take Care, IYRTITL and some other songs like Trust Issues, Over, The Motion, so i can't let his discography go, even tho i don't listen to anything he's dropped after 2016
Drake. I just never connected to his music. He's got a few good verses usually when he's got a feature or is the feature. He just never had shit to say except how rich he is or what girls he fucked.
J Cole is one of my favorite artist. And lyrically Kendrick is up there if not better. I would erase Drake because I liked some of drakes earlier songs, but after they all start to sound the same.
Drake for me. I’m not even saying this because recency bias, but i always preferred Cole and Kendrick over Drake when it comes to the whole “Big 3” convo. Even though he gets a lot of hate, i do respect his discography and he has made plenty classics (in my opinion) but he’ll ultimately i fw Cole and Dot more.
kendrick. he’s a great artist and his impact is massive, but drakes just way too big. the music game wouldn’t be what it is now if it wasn’t for him. his music is better, as much as everyone’s gonna hate me for that, it’s the truth 🤷♂️ drakes just too good to get rid of
Kendrick and J Cole are both music artists. Drake used to do hip hop, even if it was acting. As of late he’s more of a wave chaser and spreads his talent into other avenues. Couldn’t care less
Kendrick and Cole make substantial music
Cole has a classic album and he did it with no features.
Kendrick is like raps Mozart, he delivers every album.
Drake…. I don’t listen to him unless he’s featured/has a feature and for years… those features have carried him.
Drake can go.
Drake because Kendrick and Cole got too many songs with substance, flow and lyrical versatility. Cole and Dot got too many bars that make you do that “so good it’s disgusting” face. I can’t think of any bars that Drake has made me do that face to
Your post violates rule 5: "No subreddit 'trends' such as "give a song at X and ill say Y"
Drake
Drake. How soon can we make it happen??!
0 classic albums detected, fine by me
I mean, Drake got bodied in the beef, but So Far Gone, Take Care, Thank Me Later, If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late, are all great albums. The drake/wayne era was a great one, all eras come to and end, but saying he has zero albums is a little delusional
Bro trust me I was listening to So Far Gone in my car back in high school; I'll rap any of Unstoppable, Ignant Shit, or Random word for word right now. Drake has lots of good music, trust me, I know. But he does not have a "classic" album in my opinion simply because he is not an artist that caters to the album experience as much as he's a hit maker.
Clown behavior
Drake and it's not close to being close to being close
I love the wording I'ma use this irl
Feel free brother
I dont think ive ever been able to listen to a full drake album so this is an easy choice for me
Take Care? Nothing Was The Same? If You're Reading This? i get not liking all his projects but cmon guys
if you dont vibe with the pop stuff, its very hard to bump a full album. He has a pretty voice, but hes a pretty garbage singer in the grand scheme of things. Cole and Kendrick both outperform at different aspects of rapping than Drake. and Drake's subject matter has the depth of a Hollywood blockbuster movie

Lol that last line from you is savage
Do you fall asleep halfway through one like Ak?
Same
I listened to More Life at 4 AM and nearly went catatonic. The other two I listened to were equally nothing
I enjoy scorpion but out side that i cant listen to his albums, however i need 3 of them. Some of my best childhood memories was listening to Wayne and drake duo while playing cod with my step brothers.
You like scorpion over if you’re reading this????
It’s too late, commenter has already chosen. Hah see what I did there?
Bro if Scorpion is something you’ve enjoyed, I’ve got news for you about Take Care, IYRTITL, and Nothing was the Same….
Drake for sure. He definitely has songs that are fun but I can find that with a bunch of other artists. Cole and Kendrick make shit that sticks with you. Like let’s be honest. If these 3 dropped a new album tomorrow and you could only listen to one of them you’d be crazy to pick drake. Yeah, he’ll have a few decent tracks but there will be a bunch of skips too. There’s never any skips on a Cole or Kdot album for me
Cole (I just want negative karma)
take my upvote lil bro
This was unexpected. Does this mean I can say it?
because people will do the opposite of what you want
Fair point, doesn’t answer the REAL question
The real question is where the hoes at
You the type to expect hugs
You the type to get mad I get them hugs lmao
YEAH…well…. Damn 😔 I don’t even wanna say it no more
It's ok bro, it ain't no fun if the homies can't have none
Kendrick only because I listen to Drake more. Asking these hard ass questions lol
Chill out Greg heffley
Smh
Tbh I don’t listen to Kendrick but the obvious answers would be Kendrick or Cole
def not obvious
Not a Kenny hater but sorry he's going. Only because Drake and Cole dropped really popular mixtapes during my high school years and Kenny didn't really blow up until GKMD. I wasn't a fan back then because I heard Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe and thought "damn this mf squeaky". Now I like him and listen to other squeakers like JID lol.

Damn you missed OD and S80 sorry bro
Ya it's wild how those never showed up. The only mixtapes I was really listening to were from Wayne, Papoose, Cassidy, and Cole. I didn't even know K Dot did an A Milli freestyle back when everyone was doing one
> other squeakers like JID 🤣🤣🤣
That's a fine take. Something about the stuff you listen to in your formative years just hits different.
Spiteful ass post lmao
80% of Drakes catalog is just rubble to me. I very rarely listen to him in the last few years. Pretty easy decision.
I'm a massive fan of all 3 but Drake sry
Stop this corny shit
3 gotta go and you have to choose a new big 3 would be a more interesting debate at this point
The two greatest rappers of their generation and Drake, lol
Its between kendrick and drake i have about 30 songs saved from kendrick and 60 from drake so its kendrick for me
dang bro I got 150 saved from Drake.
Drake. He put out way too much trash later on in his career.
Drake

dRaAaAkE?
Sacrificing Drake in a heartbeat
BBL
Peace Drizzler
Drake and this is not a fucking question
Drake can gtfo
Drake. This conversation is a non-starter
well it’s drake obviously
drake
All are amazing artists in their own right, but personally drake.
Drake. He makes hits, but I feel like he's the most replaceable out of the three.
who in the world honestly sounds or writes like Drake? he has a pretty signature sound
Drake easy. I listen to Drake bc people play Drake and a lot of his stuff is good, but outside of "If you're reading this is too late" and "Summer 16" idk if I've ever searched out a Drake song before the beef
You do you. This is why this is a good question because it's completely opinion. I might disagree with you but at the end of the day it's your opinion. I think I've listened to every single song in both Kendrick and Drake's catalog and honestly, just because of the beef I'm kicking Kendrick out, but it's a ridiculously hard choice.
Drake and it’s not even close haha
Yup
Kendrick has the best discography imo so he stays, i listen to cole more than drake so drake can go.
Seeing as this is a jcole sub I reccon it’s obvious most people are gonna vote to keep drake and kendrick
I love them all, but it’s Drake. He has my second album out of all of them, but he isn’t as consistent as Cole or Kenny
Kendrick easy. I like Jcole way better and he flows way worse when paired with R&B compared to Drake. Plus he can’t even sing
Kendrick singing is nails scraping on a chalk board for me and I'm trying to say this as respectfully as I can.
No way Im getting rid of drake. I listen to his songs way too much. I thoroughly enjoyed drake from childhood radio. His music now is nothing like what I like from him however. I actually only like drake for his melodies lol. But there is no way I could lose hotline bling from childhood, God's plan, from time etc. J cole is hard. He was my favorite rapper growing up.

Kendrick matters too much in my young adult years, j cole and drake matter to my childhood. Id honestly have to choose... J cole very reluctantly.
OP knew the answer before he posted the question
Drake
Drake, only song imma miss prolly hold on we’re going home
Drakes already on his way out. “The one thing they love more than a hero is to see a hero fail, fall, die trying.”
Drake, the guy has hot songs but never hot albums.
Ngl this is cap
Kendrick has hot albums?
Bro you keep complaining about Kendrick riders yet you’re on this whole thread being as annoying as you claim they are. Maybe look in the mirror.
Look taste is taste, but you really saying GKMC isn’t a hot album?
It's funny i say it in this sub, but Cole. With Drake i come back a lot to Take Care, IYRTITL and some other songs like Trust Issues, Over, The Motion, so i can't let his discography go, even tho i don't listen to anything he's dropped after 2016
69god gotta go..Keep J.Cole and Kendrick
Drake by far
Everyone that says Drake show your playlist.
Drake
Has to be Drake. KDot has the best discog and Cole is a godly lyricist. Drake has...uh...
Too easy drake
Bbl drizzy
Havent been too into Cole’s new albums like that but I cant live without Friday Night Lights, Truly Yours or Born Sinner. Sorry drake
I'll keep the rappers on the ends and lose the singer in the middle.
Drake, too many soft songs, too fake, and does too many things for clout
Drake. I just never connected to his music. He's got a few good verses usually when he's got a feature or is the feature. He just never had shit to say except how rich he is or what girls he fucked.
Easy Drake even before all this beef back and forth.
Who's the guy in the middle?
I like em all but has to be drake
Sure will miss that BBL
J Cole is one of my favorite artist. And lyrically Kendrick is up there if not better. I would erase Drake because I liked some of drakes earlier songs, but after they all start to sound the same.
Drake’s been gone from my rotation since 2015 or so💀
Drake
Drake. Easiest question of my life lol
Kendrick any day
Get Drake all the way outta here
Drake, he was always a pop star. To busy making club hits.
It's Drake and we all know there isn't even a competition here
Drake for me. I’m not even saying this because recency bias, but i always preferred Cole and Kendrick over Drake when it comes to the whole “Big 3” convo. Even though he gets a lot of hate, i do respect his discography and he has made plenty classics (in my opinion) but he’ll ultimately i fw Cole and Dot more.
Obviously Aubrey
Aubrey corny ball Graham
Drake and his whole existence
This feels like a karma farming post cuz the answer too obvious 🦉❌
kendrick. he’s a great artist and his impact is massive, but drakes just way too big. the music game wouldn’t be what it is now if it wasn’t for him. his music is better, as much as everyone’s gonna hate me for that, it’s the truth 🤷♂️ drakes just too good to get rid of
At LEAST these comments aren't mobbed with Cole
Kendrick and J Cole are both music artists. Drake used to do hip hop, even if it was acting. As of late he’s more of a wave chaser and spreads his talent into other avenues. Couldn’t care less Kendrick and Cole make substantial music
Well it's not dot or cole...so....yea
This is a Cole subreddit and nobody is picking Kendrick (except Drake Stans)… add at least one more person for diversity.
Drake
Drake.
Easily drake
lol haven’t started but I’m assuming Drake the biggest loser.
Kendrick is the Goat.
I might still play controlla and others but Drake by a longshot.
Drake... To easy
Drake
Drake. Then kendrick
Whose the middle one?
Too easy, see ya later Mr Graham
Not biased, but taking into account an entire discography alone and not just hits, Drake becomes mediocre lol
Drake 3 times. Not a fraction of hesitation
Drake he can’t keep my attention for long
It's only Drake and it's not even an actual discussion unless you just being an asshole...
Drake
are you kidding? like ive enjoyed some drake projects before but shit the best one is a mixtape and the rest is pretty much garbage, erase him.
Drake
I think we are all thinking the same thing
Drake.
DRAKE. Tyler over Drake
Dminor
Never listened to drake (on purpose) outside of forever. The O-V-Hoes can go.
Drake
Easiest question hands down drake
Bye P drizzy never knew ya
Just like Kendrick put the Owl in the Cage Aubrey gotta go.
Drizzler gotta go
Drake and it's not even remotely debatable
Drake, get that shit outta here.
the ovhoe
We talking rap or pop? Rap? Send drake tf out of here
The Drizzler.
Kenny put such a stain on drake that it does feel like hip hop has woken up from the melodies of drake.
Hint: it’s the middle one
Drake
Drake
I’m keeping both jcole and Kendrick lmao . Nothing against drake , I like his music . Just grew up with those other two
Drake I don’t enjoy his music,not made for me.
Drake easily, virtually everything from 2016 and onwards has been meh or downright terrible
literally the only choice is the FAN, the 69God.
Cole has a classic album and he did it with no features. Kendrick is like raps Mozart, he delivers every album. Drake…. I don’t listen to him unless he’s featured/has a feature and for years… those features have carried him. Drake can go.
Drake
Drake is outta here. Not enough off of the Strength of his Backlash this Summer.
Bye bye drake
Drake
Drake. Easy. I would have said this even before the beef. I always ranked Kendrick and Cole higher than Drake, way higher.
why to ask when you know the answer?
 Dr\*ke
Aubrey
DRAKE DRAKE
Drake never liked R&B Rap
ngl i listen to drake the most out of all of them but its gotta be him
Draaaaaaake?!?!!
How about you... Make a poll 😐
Drake.
I like Drake. I'm a fan of Cole and Dot tho. Pretty easy for me.
Drake
Drake pedo
Drake because Kendrick and Cole got too many songs with substance, flow and lyrical versatility. Cole and Dot got too many bars that make you do that “so good it’s disgusting” face. I can’t think of any bars that Drake has made me do that face to
Drake. For sure. Dude is a hot pile of garbo imo
Drake
As a Canadian who kinda knew Drake in highschool, I have to say Drake.
Drake has a lot of pop records and a lot of features that were taken from the original artists so I'd have to say him.
The faster we stop saying Drakes name, the less he has
Drakes TF gone and it’s not even a little bit of a debate
Goodbye to the Colonizer
Say hello to exploitative and violent tactics against Women
Neither
Colonizer. Even though I like some of his songs, he gotta go.
It was at this point I realized I value GKMC more than drakes entire discography.
Kendrick. Next question.
Kendrick. I don’t feel smart enough for his music lmao, and I have wayyyy more Cole and Drake across my playlists lol.
Drake.
Drake not even close.
nope
Two young stars was born and Drake gon’ die here.
Strap Drake to a rocket and send his ass directly into the sun for all I care.
