You don’t have to like Poetic Justice but it’s an iconic song in Kendrick’s catalog. Lupe doesn’t have many of those and Kendrick has several...
I don’t wanna hear Poetic Justice over and over
The Cool has plenty of songs I’ll play over and over
Not being a good pop song /=not being a good song
I definitely think he and Joe Budden wish their careers turned out better, although Joe probably don’t care now.
But both them nikkas have made good soulful music whether that shyt charts or not
As a cohesive album, i definitely would rather hear The Cool over GKMC
