You bringing up Nas and Jay-Z's new shyt is irrelevant. I know their new shyt is weak.

You said: "Real talk I think both Drake and Kendrick are more creative and musically talented than Jay and Nas." If you had added "today" at the end of your sentence, I wouldn't have said shyt. Even though I disagree, I can't cosign Nas and Jay-Z's recent work. They've been weak for a decade.

ADHD and I are total garbage on their own. And when you compare it to Nas and Jay-Z's best work, it's beyond insulting. If someone brought ADHD to me and said it was as good as NY State of Mind, I would say GTFOH. That song isn't even as good as Nas's filler tracks scattered across numerous albums.

But honestly, you're just biased to what you're hearing now because you're young. Kendrick brings NOTHING NEW to the table. His topics about hood life in Compton? BEEN DONE. His flow and overall approach to music? BEEN DONE. He's not doing anything Andre 3000 hasn't already done. In fact, Kendrick's whole steez is Andre 3000 reheated. Just way worse.

You think it's new because your understanding of context in hip hop is limited. That's why we say 'you're young'.

Nas has a couple of classics under his belt in the last ten years

Drake is onewhois destined. Has skillset. On the way to wealth. Lil Wayne basically got his idol "jay z" ofthis generation


Cole is definitely n'as. Underpaid. Arguably best rapper all aroundsubject atr fob

I mean you can literally see this shyt playing out exactly how Nas and Jay-Z post-Ether did :whoo:

Drake is dropping hot shyt for the clubs and party music, etc. like Jay was, putting out hit after hit, while Kendrick is getting on his pro-black militant tip like Nas did. They are like in their God's Son/Blueprint 2 era right now, although Kendrick is obviously taking some cues from Nas' "Untitled" era.

Everyone is praising Kendrick for implementing jazz and funk sounds on his new work, like Nas did when he dropped that "Bridging the Gap" joint with Olu Dara and that "Get Down" joint that sampled James Brown. Jay stans said it was boring, old sounding trash.. Nas stans said it was fresh, paying homage to the past and bringing that sound back to the mainstream.

Kendrick is even trying to be commercial, but like Nas, he doesn't know how. "i" was basically his version of Nas' "I can".

I think it's gonna play out pretty similar.. meaning, 20 years from now, we might be seeing college courses taught on GKMC or To Pimp a Butterfly, and have 20th anniversary concerts and documentaries about it, but if you ask me which one is gonna be the multi-millionaire mogul? Which one is likely to hire the other one to his own record label? It's clearly gonna be Aubrey :heh:

after rethinking this over Lupe's career in terms of albums is kind of parallel to Nas. Tetsuo and Youth is his 5th album? What was Nas' 5th album? Both were there comeback albums after they had 2 albums in a row not well received.

Achilles heal is known to be their production choices for both

Lasers and Food and Liquor 2 vs I am and Nastradamus

Both started out with 2 straight classics....Illmatic and IWW vs F&L and The Cool. I am not gonna debate the sophomores between the two being classics. my mind is made up already.

I know this is gonna be his last album on his label(Lupe) but I can see him going through a great period like Nas did with Stillmatic/God's Son/ Lost Tapes.

Drake is still Jay though. But Kendrick is basically Biggie if he had a longer career. Both were rarelly hit or miss with production and have unique styles. I know you can say that about most people but nobody really sounds like Biggie or Kendrick. they are not rappers you mix up.
