and he sold out the garden for real, just like he predicted

[@Ch1ckenKatsu]

Matt Hickey So happy for Cole. He definitely deserves it. The Forest Hills Drive tour is one of the best concerts I've been to!

[@aracelyperez5587]

Matt Hickey He sold out the Pavillion in Houston too!!

[@leannajolie2883]

I went to that concert😍😫

[@chinawilliams3250]

he couldn't sell out the AT&T center in Dallas cause a lot of people had school and stuffs the next day . but it was pretty packed

[@AmmarAnsari0100]

+Matt Hickey would you believe me if i said i was related to Aziz Ansari

[@tylarhendrix2004]

Normally i don't like it when rappers sing but when cole sings he has that raspy sound it sounds dope asf

[@jordanhampson5209]

[@oldbalogna9926]

I wanna see you work out for me, work out for me [Verse 2:] Carolina blue kicks, fresh on the scene Hottest nigga on the block, damn girl you mean They be starting shit, but it's your world On my Martin shit, you go girl She bad and she know it, some niggas save Hoes I'm not that heroic Could you be my escort Cause just like them two door Fords Damn, they don't make 'em like you no more Cole World, real Cole World Them boys cool, me I'm on fire Know what's on my mind, tryna see what's on yours tonight Tonight, tonight Move slow, cause you wanna live fast Up late so you'll probably skip class Life is a test so before the night pass get right Get right Hey, we got a good thing Don't know if I'm a see you again, see you again But is that a good thing? Cause girl I can't be your man, no ma'am I know what's on your brain You probably hope it never would end Like is it the real thing or is just a one night stand Well then (Cole World) Straight up, now tell me do you really wanna love me forever Oh, oh, oh Or is it just a hit and run (Well, hey) Straight up I tell ya I just really wanna cut when we together Oh, oh, oh Come here girl, let's get it on (Work out for me, work out for me) Straight up now tell me do you really wanna love me forever?

Well it depends what we are talking about. If it’s rapping skills in terms of storytelling then cole for sure. But if we’re talking about flows and double entendres, drake takes the cake. If we talking about who makes better music in general, drakes wins tbh. He is way more versatile.
