Kendrick is always more talented than Drake. And has actual substance and he grew up in the trenches. I always knew Drake would get bodied. It was never an even match IMO.

Drake a cornball turned fake mobster.
“substance” meaning…what?

Drake was always just talking about his day to day. He wasn’t trying to start the revolution.

If we can be fooled by semi-the world is corrupt-bars…then…its not hard to have “substance"

Don’t be dumb.

Actual concepts and good themes. Last Drake song I enjoyed was “You Broke My Heart” and before that it was “Emotionless.”

Kendrick just makes better music and concepts that I can relate to as a black person growing up in North Philadelphia. Drake makes fun party music. Well he used to back in the mid 2000s.

Now he’s 40 making songs like this that he doesn’t even write.



Meanwhile Kendrick making songs like this:

sounds like insecurity to me, dawg

I’m black and I don’t wallow in sadness
No it isn’t. All his music isn’t sad either. He just talks about real life shyt. Drake makes music for kids. He even admitted that he makes music for the clubs and women himself lol.

Kendrick makes much better albums and songs than Drake with deeper concepts and themes. He’s just been through more and matured differently than Drake. It’s clear his the music.

You aren’t black either. :mjlol:

We all saw your Indian arms bro. Stop lying weirdo.

I’ve proven I’m black and you need to live vicariously through struggle music to validate your personal lack of success.

I get it. I was there.

I listen to all kinds of music actually. When you really from the trenches certain songs and artists (Meek and Kendrick) just hit different which can’t experience due to being Indian.

Lack of success? My life is pretty good. I’m actually blessed in real life and I don’t have to lie about it 🥲

No need to get angry Mr. 320K posts. You spend all day on here talking about Drake. Your proof is an arm and a picture of wave grease. That’s not real proof. People have seen me and heard my voice on here. Can you say the same? 🤔

Drake had podcasters on payroll, entire rollouts for his songs, approached journalists to make sure he would get positive reviews, paidpeople for info, used bots on twitter to sway public opinion (as reported by Complex),...Kendrick was fighting the whole industry at this point. It's only because he won by a large margin and had the public opinion in his favor that people started switching sides.

Kendrick vs Drake was an easy match up for Kendrick on paper, talent wise, but Kendrick was also fighting the industry...
You had plenty of articles like this, saying no mater what, drake would win...them journalists only came clean after the battle and admitted theyr were approached by ovo lol

That sounds cool when dealing with guys like Joe Budden but honestly this has no bearing on an artist like Kendrick. At the very least people were going to pay attention and think for themselves. If the two biggest rappers of a generation died each other people will care

That industry shyt you’re talking is for smaller fish with no engine behind them

This nikka said impossible lololol. Kendrick is a far better artist and MC and always has been, also was on of the very artist who can match how polarizing Drake is, hes more respected, revered and coveted by not only by publications and fans, but also other artists (predecessors, contemporaries, and successors). The beef and the consensus turned out exactly how it should've.
It wasn't about skill alone.
Even Pusha-T wiped Drake with Story of Addidon, but Drake was able to change the narrative through social media.
Push's diss track was fukking powerful and it was defiantly the best diss track out of the late 10s. It got hot for a while until rap radar interview and Drake called Push an old washed up coke rapper. Drake was able to get away with it because before 2024, the average rap fan didn't give a shyt about lyricism or authenticity. Even though Push was the better rapper, people said it didn't count because he's not relevant (DESPITE THE FACT HE RELEASED 2 ALBUMS 3 YEARS APART)
Kendrick being the same age range, being regarded as the one the "Big 3" of modern rap, made his own waves, and having star power, he was the only one that was a worthy competitor for Drake. There's a reason why Drake's been ducking real smoke from Kendrick.

You’re an emotional clown that tried to make it personal over Drake. You need to log off the internet fr.

Post your face or voice or shut up.
