It's crazy how closely Kendrick & Drake is mirroring Jay-Z & Nas

This is what happens when we're all used to mixtapes coming out every other week. We're spoiled.

Sounds like some shyt a 12-year-old girl would title an album.
Hyperion

Laziness. If only they put as much effort into their music they do with stunting on Instagram and hollering at the hoes.
How in the world is To Pimp A Butterfly selling out the Black community, breh? Explain to the class.
Great, I can't wait for the Kenny/Drake wars to drag on as long as Jay/Nas'
It already is...
Nas gave Iggy a pass too...
This is the thing. It's almost impossible to sit here with a straight face and make comparisons between modern day Kendrick and Drake, two rappers in the relative beginnings of their career to 2001-03 Jay-Z/Nas two rappers who were already damn near considered legends by that time period.
Nas was 5 albums deep. Having put out TWO platinum albums within a single year.
Jay-Z was 6 albums deep, having had one of the most consistently best selling careers of the time period.
People like to rewrite history and say Nas is not nor ever was "mainstream" when in fact, Nas IS a mainstream MC and has been since the moment he dropped It Was Written. You don't go on a streak of 7 straight platinum albums without being mainstream. I Am's first week outperformed Vol. 3's first week,notes stop with the bullshyt, Nas is a mainstream rapper, it's what he CHOOSES to do with his platform and the messages that he conveys that make him incredible.
Drake nor Kendrick have maintained the continued relevancy that Nas and Jay had achieved at that time period. We're not even mentioning the battle. Drake copped SO many pleas when it came to directly responding to Control that it was damn near laughable.

Drake is gonna be huge for awhile. Dunno about Kendrick. Honestly I think he bout to shed a lot of fans with this album. And once you lose the people it's hard to get them back, especially with new nikkas emerging every year.
I think Kendrick is on a closer path to Lupe than Nas tbh...and that's not a good thing.

Lupe got fukked over by the label. Kendrick is an example (so FAR) of how it can be when the artist is allowed to breathe and doesn't have the label trying to force pop garbage down his throat.
Cole >>>> king c00ndrick.
I is the poppiest shyt I ever heard I hope the label forced that garbage shyt. And lupe lost a lot of his fans due to his political speak on gentrification, middle east bombings, Obama ,white people etc. Not radio hits
