Thats not even opinionated...Kendrick is probably the rapper that mastered every aspect of mceeing the most since Andre 3000. They're literally writing books about his techniques. Andre 3000 is probably the only other dude with enough depth for a 500 page-book.

Cole and Drake don't even know how to structure an smb, they don't even know the rules that make a flow good :comeon:

It is by far, unless your stan.
white people write books about kendrick because he’s a voyueristic investment for their lust for gritty street poverty porn.

Big Sean and Chance the Rapper or even Tyler would never get major white adoration as black middle class kids. Imagine if Wale didn’t grow up middle class… :francis:

Do we really want to have this convo? :francis:

No he doesn't. Drake never got compared to Prince songwriting wise. That says everything you need to know. Kdot has a real musical composition comprehension. Drake just performs over an already made beat.
If white critics weren’t doing that, no one would be doing that.

Drake fed black street consumers. Kendrick did not.

Yall really love letting “the industry” tell you what to validate and not your own damn ears.

The difference between us is quite clear, you express your personnal feeling, you're telling us what you personnally enjoy/dislike.

I discuss music quality because I have experience in that field. Matter of fact, that's my job.

The way “critics” have been slurping Kendrick since GKMC let me know what the agenda was. They molded that entire “high art” narrative.

Drake makes better songs than Kendrick bro per capita... I’m sorry yall let the lyrics and message cloud that…but just cause drake is money and hoes doesn't make what he does exactly cheapened or easy to do.
Random example. Swimming Pools and HYFR are both great songs. One has more content but overall what’s the better song? Both are great but to me it’s Swimming Pools. Not just cause of content, it’s just better. Not by far like a stan would say but better. I think if we did a 25 song battle I think that would happen a lot. Then Kendrick got unfukkwitable stuff like Sing about me and Mortal Man. If you’re talking catchy stuff then Drake got him there obviously

Swimming pools is a terrible SONG. It’s grating. it’s dense. It’s difficult to casually enjoy.

Again, as an art project. Fine. Whatever.

It’s not what I think of when I consider music. Complexity is not quality. We need to stop this shyt.

Man shut the hell up. Stop trying to pass off your dumb ass opinions as facts. Just because you think this doesn't mean everyone else has to.
