  1. oh most deff drake

  2. Drake’s buzz >>> Wale but

    Wale definitely puts on a better show..true hip hop fans will agree..killed Purdue, killed Chicago, killed Le Poisson Rouge in NY..with big names in attendance

  3. Shit!!! i was at the concert!
    man that shit was live…
    i had heard of drake bc my ex used 2 watch degrassi but i got back on when he started “i want this forever” and havent missed a beat since!
    Better concert than the “I am music” tour!
    Drake takes this one!

  4. Wale hands down.. UCB sets shit off.. and idk if Hov and Leo DiCaprio have took in a Drake show yet

    Respect for Drizzy tho

  5. and this guys talkin bout big names…
    it gets no bigger than bun b son!

  6. all i know is this nigga drake looks like spock

  7. drake irritates me because hes been wearing the same outfit for the last month….his buzz is bigger right now though, so i will guess his show is better. more people listening, more people singing your lyrics, which means more energy in the room.

  8. what song is that that everyone is singing along to?

  9. DRAKE jus cuz he got more GOUPIES

  10. i really dont know Drake well, but I gotta say Wale.

    Wale’s got the live band with him and some crazy guest appearances so far

  11. What The Fuck Is That That They Are singing Sound Like A Bunch of Nothing

    *Waits To gets Cursed Out

  12. Ive never been to a Drake Show, but he spent a little over 3mins doing nothing in this clip ,
    Ive been to a Wale show , and it was live the whole time…
    and when he was done he literally jumped into the crowd and shook hands and hugged as many people as possible

  13. Wale kills the live shows but he has far less recognition. I saw him with Common at UC Riverside he was putting on a great show but half the crowd didn’t know who he was beyond nike boots

  14. its houston music…
    Z-Ro…gangsta ass shit…
    Mo City Don Freestyle

  15. I was at Drake Fri night and Sneakerpimps ft Wale/Scarface Sat night (Bun B was at both), it’s hands down Drake. The atmosphere was nuts for Drake. Wale had a few sneakerhead cats in there, but more open space than anything else. He followed Carter, who after his performance, the host said “Yall came for a cat from DC but dude from your own city get no love. What part of the game is that?”

    My assessment. Wale needs better promotion.

  16. @jmar23

    thought it was Trae at first at first but J.G was right it’s Z-Ro – Mo City Don

  17. Wale’s live shows as i’ve heard smack hard/ Drake’s a really good performer as well. Although I’m from CA, bay area its all about them Houston Rockets. I just had to slip that in there lol.

  18. I think Drake puts on a better show because judging from this and a couple of other clips I’ve seen, he knows how to adapt to the areas that he he does his shows in, plus dudes has more to offer to the crowd imo (hip hop joints, slow joints, catchy records, etc…)

  19. *dude

  20. I couldn’t go to the one in Atlanta cause I’m 17… ain’t thataboutabitch?

    She just stuck in Houstatlantavegas

  21. Wale hands down!! Having UCB as a live band behind him puts his live show up amongst some of the best!! Drake is still dope though but Wale has a better live show

  22. I think they both are equal in that department to be honest. However, there has been a surge of people mad at Drake lately. So I expect most people to say that ‘Drake shows are wak and Wale’s are better’

    I saw them both and both Wale and Drake go hard performing. They’re great artists and performers.

  23. Where did this Drake dude come from????
    Is he a ghost writer for Weezy F ????
    Wale Kills it!!! Wheres the new mixtape son???
    1

  24. Wale… by far… Drake show in Houston was about 20 min… how is your show and the opening act gonna be the same length???

  25. Wale put on an amazing show when I saw him live a few weeks ago – I get to see Drake on Saturday, then I’ll make my decision

  26. the whole clip was just the crowd repeating the words to Mo City Don by the homie Z-ro

  27. Yea thats a Houston staple that song…I don’t know a nigga from the H that doesn’t know that freestyle by heart from start to finish…I think its awesome that he paid that homage

  28. I saw both when they came through NC and def WALE!… Drake’s set was only 30 min… and he didn’t play any songs from his other mixtapes only So Far Gone… but Wale put on a fucking show!

  29. Every vid i see you guys post of Drake live though it seems like the audience does more work than him! I’m a fan for sure, I’d be singing along with him and everyone else as well. I just feel like when I go see a show, I wanna hear the artist…at least a lil bit!

  30. whoever said drake’s show is better than the i am music tour needs to drink bleach like are you foreal ?

    and i heard drkae onyl does 30 mintue shows and performs only half of his songs

  31. @SAO its nothing drake could do for those 3 mins. you see he tried to get back on but the crowd wanted to finish the song. We love our local artists out here in the H. But idk too much bout carter. he dont go that hard anyway

  32. WHY IS THIS NIGGA RAPPIN TO Z-RO TRACK

  33. ^^^^he’s not rappin “to” z-ro’s track…he’s in houston payin homage…u see everybody know the words

  34. Three Reasons As To Why Wale’s Shows Are Better

    1. UCB (Live Band)
    2. Wale’s Shows Are More Then 30 Minutes & He Performs Like 90% Of His Songs.
    3. Wale Is Just Better lol

  35. Soul Mafia… you can see them back to back with Drake @ SOB’s NYC 5.26.09 and judge 4 yourself

  36. Never been to neither, but i’d prolly enjoy the whole go-go atmosphere..

    *writes Wale Concert on to-do list*

  37. Drakes buzz is bigger, but his actual performance game is rather wack! Yea everyone sings along, but he’s just standing on stage doing nothing. Wale shows are way liver, regardless if ppl know the songs word for word or not, they enjoy it
    Wale got it performance wise, but i like Drake better as an artist

  38. DUDE STOP FLOPPIN, SING YOUR SHIT, DO YOUR RAPS…SINCE FLEX YOU’VE SEEMED SHOOOK! GET ON YOUR GAME FAM

  39. Wale, DMV NIGGA

  40. I went to the wale show in seattle he killed it man I think he’s lyrically better than drake by far…but drake has all the right promotion behind him.plus drakes show is just a bunch of chicks screaming…I don’t wanna hear that shit

  41. lol @ drake’s crowd being 100%16yr old females.

  42. Dude Drake killed it in NEw Orleans Last night he Brought out Trey Songz ,Snoop Doog Was On Stage Chilling And LIL wayne and young money performed Every Girl Dude Shut It DOWWNNNN!!!!

  43. Wale’s whole flow shits on drakes you can’t be sane and say drake has better lyrics…wale shit is potent drake is creative though no doubt but but after a while it seems like he just has witty punchlines and metaphores.after his flex apperance I stated not feeling him *no homo*

  44. Drake been killing it in the clips, I think im the only dopeboy from the caribbean man, we don’t get these artist in Barbados :P

    Wale has crazy flow, and is very lyrical, more of a hiphop artist. drake is more of an rnb and more pop, thats why he gets more attention.

    both artist are great but i need to get into wale some more!

  45. I fux with wale way more than drake but I believe drake has way more fans right now I believe right know at this present moment more chicks would go to a drake show rather than wayne (this is just my opion) wale might draw a more mix crowd

  46. Live Band>>>>>>>>

  47. This is the song the crowd was doing…..you wouldn’t understand..it’s a Texas thing LOL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xS3UzJ0SilA

  48. Wale because of depth and live instrumentation. You’re getting the full experience of a live band with UCB. Plus, Wale has so much good material, he can put on a long show and, due to his various collaborations, there’s the “you never know who might show up spit they verse” factor. Go to see Wale to get your money’s worth for an excellent performance. Go to see Drake to get you mac on wit all them chicas at the show . I’m just sayin’.

  49. Well, i havent been to a wale concert, i went to see drake on Saturday in New orleans, on campus a tulane, but dude was like 3 and half hours late when i left, what kind of fuckery is that, you dont even have a cd out yet and you think you can do that to fans, so needless to say, i prefer wale…

  50. that right there is what you do when you open a show in tx..
    its always some
    z-ro
    pimp c
    or some chalie boy to get the crowd hyped..and as you can see, z-ro did the trick here

  51. ^some better footage for yall. Both brought out Bun.

    Imma have to go with Wale, but I’m biased.

    One
    Tayo

  52. I saw both of them when they came to the Loft in ATL. Wale most def puts on a better show!!! UCB is amazing!! Drake’s a good live performer as well but his set was like an hour long (maybe less) and he performed snippets of his songs :/ while Wale brought out Bun B and talked shit with the crowd…oh and yes u will hear a lot of grown ass women screaming like teenage girls at a Drake show. -_-

    Hollyweerd put on a better show than Drizzy

    I can’t wait for both of their albums.

    And where the fuck is Wale’s new mixtape??!!?!?!!

  53. I saw Drake on Friday and Wale on Saturday in Houston and Wale killed it Drake had like 10 opening acts and only stayed on stage for about 20 mins THAT WAS SOME BULLSHIT!!!!

  54. Since when the length of a show makes it automatically better than people who perform lesser minutes… clowns!!

    They both do good shows that’s a hard decision to make weirdos.
    He kills it for 30 minutes. Wale kills it too!

    I’ve been to a Busta Rhymes show and he did 30 minutes and he absolutely destroys it when he performs. He’s phenomenal. There’s NO mc alive who does a better hip-hop show better than him based on quality. Come on give any good performer 20 minutes, 30 minutes a hour and they’ll find a way to kill it and that’s what Drake and Wale do.

  55. Oh and when Drake does his shows most of them he’s not the main or only act. He’s on the bill most the time. Wale’s shows are his right now. So there shouldn’t even be a comparison when someone has time at their disposal and the other has a certain slot to fill his show in on mostly college appearances or clubs.

  56. Seen both (footage from Wale’s show hopefully hitting this site soon) and I have to say that Wale’s is better due to UCB. Wale came through Boston and was clearly tired (2 shows in one day) and UCB did a great job to compensate and picked him up to make it a great show.

    I’d see just UCB if they toured, they’re dope as fuck.

    Don’t get me wrong Drake was a good performance, the energy from the crowd when I went was unreal, but a live band and hip-hop is a real beautiful thing.

    Honestly UCB within a couple years may be able to come close to the magic of a show from The Roots (not quite, but close).

  57. i havent been to neither. but from what i’ve been peeping and hearing via youtube drake’s show in houston was 15 mins…?
    you got 3 mixtapes my man imma need you to do better.his energy he gives in other cities looked great.watched a show via youtube in ATL and thought that one was kinda ok.but looks like aubrey dont be doin too much on stage really.just alot of crowd pleasing…smh.

    but as a faloren lover…wale has instruements, substance and great presesnce….! (i hope) well…he sounds like he does.Lol. but he’s got good things to rap about when he’s performing from what i listen to on his mixtapes..

    what happens when drake runs outta the hoe talk and the double cuff lovin? will he still be able to sky high? if he keeps up with his fame…i hate to be the one to say it…but it will be short lived.

    sorry for all this talk but my vote will go to wale.

    as a wale fan

  58. I say drake he has had better shows but I dunno bout this one though. lol he barely even performed . and from what I heard people saying that he only performed for 30 min.

  59. Fuck the time what about the quality weirdos

  60. I could care less who’s better because I enjoy them both
