And i think kendrick makes weak albums,songs etc.
Cool,we have our opinions.
Who doing what though.
Who sold more albums?
Who has way more huge singles?
Who has headlined a few large venued tours to back up his larger than life status in this music game?

Drake obviously. Yet that's not the gist of your Kendrick arguments usually. You constantly argue he's not popular, it's media driven, blah blah blah. Those are not "opinions" they're simply wrong. He dropped one of the biggest albums of last year and a near consensus AOTY pick or contender. Let's be real.

Bullshyt excuse. Drake has ,more classic hiphop singles than kendrick and more notable hiphop collaboration classics,by far
kendrick ain't even THAT good of a rapper. He's unnecessarily wordy. Its like he doesn't refine his drafts.
Billboard Hot Rap isn't tracking sales.
It lists the 25 most popular hip-hop/rap songs, calculated weekly by airplay on rhythmic and urban radio stations and sales in hip hop-focused or exclusive markets. Streaming data and digital downloads were added to the methodology of determining chart rankings in 2012.
Views ain't pop off at all except those R&B singles. No impact on Hip Hip/Rap.

Why does it matter?
Songs don't have to be singles to take off...yet none of the rap/hip hop songs on Views took off.
They sucked. They got no traction. And they came and went in the genre.

So you're knocking drake because his biggest singles were "non hiphop"
but you can't point at any hiphop singles to compare to his pop singles on the same album?
Nope. I'm knocking him because non of the Hip Hop songs on Views were popular at all.
They didn't catch on. They aren't getting played by DJ's. They aren't getting played at house parties. They aren't Energy, 0-100, Know Yourself, All Me, Pound Cake, etc...they came and went.

Are TPAB's non singles doing better than views?
The rap songs on TPAB are doing better than those on Views. They're still getting played on the radio and were well received critically by fans of the genre.
