Lyrically, J. Cole. As an entertainer/ brand, Drake. Drake is talented and very much pop and because of his high profile co-signs he has been able to break into the mainstream. J. Cole does not have a pop sound, so he will never be as big as Drake, nor does he desire to be. It is clear that because of his pop appeal and major label status, Drake has compromised the very sound that made him an internet sensation to begin with. There has yet to be a track produced post So Far Gone in Drake's catalog that matches its caliber. Instead Drake has opted for sing-songy punchline flows--its easier and it sells. BUT, its not ignorant so while Drake isn't that lyrical, he is still capable of producing good music. If you have an ear for true school hip hop you will favor J. Cole and if you are a commercial hip hop or R &B fan, Drake will suit your fancy. They're in different lanes so a comparison isn't really appropriate.

I am sorry but they both are horrible, that genre is not good, try listening to any other type of music.
