Yeah I hear ya.. I think it's actually impossible to say that Drake or Kendrick put out a better or worse record than each other.. Because its all about genre preference...You can compare Gucci vs Jeezy because they both do the same genre..I don't know what to label what Drake is doing breh, but its not hip hop... But for what its worth it is really good music...I just want to see discussions become more nuanced..
Nah it is hip hop

they're both hip hop albums. just different types of hip hop. nwts has more of a hip hop / rnb fusion to it, but gkmc has at least 4 songs that are just as melodic as anything on nwts. that's not to say gkmc is mostly boom bap stuff with either, but has very good music with good bars and thought provoking content. drake is obviously out to solidify his base, the female demographic first and foremost.

that's the biggest issue i have with nwts. it's a good album, but drake took no risks. the equivalent of dude getting in the car completely sober driving 55mph in the far right lane with his seat belt on and both hands on the wheel with the music and cell phone turned off. some real safe sh1t. album should be titled 'more of the same'. :yeshrug:

Stop with this "drake aint doing hip hop" bullshyt man. Hes rapping over beats. Thats hip hop, period. Are you gonna try to tell me that the Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill wasn't Hip Hop because she sang on a lot of tracks? Do you have to spit 99 bars straight like The Game to be considered Hip Hop? It makes me wonder if some of you even know what the definition of hip hop is. it is a lifestyle with several different elements, rapping is just one of them
Where do you rank Red Hot Chili Pepper all time? Before or after Mobb Deep?

No you are...Go read what u posted again...

I know what I posted, and you defected by bringing up a Rock Band who has rapped on a hand full of tracks

To answer your question, those tracks by The Red Hot Chilli Peppers are Hip Hop influenced, but none of their albums are hip hop albums because they may only "rap" a single verse on one song

what I'm asking you is how is someone who raps/sings over hip hop beats for more than half of their album not hip hop?

You need to educate yourself on the The Chili Peppers..

I think your last sentence is accurate...Drake is half hop...

Remove his background. Drake's music is what im talking about. He hits all demographics.

Unlike alot of ya on here. Im actually FROM the "HOOD". And I can tell you easily, that the streets fukk with, relate, and play Drake more than Kendrick.

I feel alot of ya internet folk who say silly shyt like that, are actually from the burbs, hip hop nerds, or are white people trying to overcompensate. Regular folks in the hood dont give a fukk about "credibility" if the music is dope, they are gonna fukk with it. Why you think half of these wild nikkas in Chiraq all quote Rick Ross as one of their favorite artist?



Funny part is, im willing to bet most of ya on this website live a closer life to Drake than Kendrick anyways :manny:.

What demographics????





All I see is Rich Ass white girls in that crowd. I hear nothing masculine in that crowd. :bryan:


This nikka doing Spirit Fingers tho..... if yall relate to that then I ain't mad. Keep the Rainbow alive...
