Napoleon dude is talking so much shyt. I can understand how somebody could think Drake is better but the way you're justifying it is disingenuous.
kendrick's voice may be an acquired taste but Drake couldn't in his wildest dreams come up with a song as conceptually interesting as Cartoons and Cereal or Sing About Me. To say that Drake's better with concepts is beyond laughable.
I don't have to be a Christian to appreciate Michelangelo's frescos in the Sistine Chapel, so why would somebody have to be a Christian to appreciate the artistry that goes into crafting a richly textured story that holds water and draws you into the narrative?
I roll my eyes at the thought of people naive enough to feel as if their intelligence is being insulted by "conscious rappers" (such a bullshyt way of demarcating art) when all they're really hearing is a singular perspective. If you're so smart and secure in yourself with your degrees and shyt then separate the sentiment from the dogma and appreciate that for what it is.
And no shade to Drake but the fact that he chooses to sing often doesn't change the fact that he's a distinctly sub-par singer. That it confines him to the use of simple melodies means his hooks are catchy but it's not something I would consider a strength.
