at you "finally" giving Cole his due like he knows or cares who the fukk you are
respectfully all the things you're speaking towards here have nothing to do with what i addressedJ Cole has been a popular rapper his entire career but only in the last like 4 years have I given him his "due" because I thought he finally started delivering on his claims to be a quality MC
I don't respect what "public" values of popularity are.
This is why I mock so many people on here. They dont have their own opinions.
MY EVALUATION OF THIS shyt = TRASH
My dude, DO YOU respect what kendrick has done? Do you like it? Or are you just gonna tell me what others are saying about it?
I dont know why you think kendrick wouldn't be into artA decade of hating. Get the fukkouttahere
The only thing that kind of concerns me, perhaps on a small level, is the Dave Free stuff. He's smart, most of the shyt he did at TDE worked, loyal to Kendrick etc. But I can't help but look at that picture and immediately think about Suge's "all in the videos, all on the songs...dancing" line. This artistic vision is clearly his, and completely different from how Kendrick traditionally was from S80 to even DAMN. Yea perhaps Kendrick's style has simply changed or evolved which would be fine, but I just get the sense a lot of this is Dave.
Even when Kanye was going harder into art shyt he still had that "sophisticated ignorance" balance that kept him in tune with the streets. Anyone who has met Kendrick will tell you dude is straight up Compton. Not to say he isn't into art and shyt but...dude is Compton, and is literally surrounded by gang dudes. So you'd think if anyone could do the Kanye type balance shyt it would be him.
One other concern is that I haven't seen pgLang do anything outside of Kendrick and Keem. Both are doing well, they made a shyt ton of money on that tour that just ended (probably grossed at least 80-90mil). But this doesn't really seem like a label to me. They aren't signing people, Kendrick isn't doing interviews, there is no "crew" vibe, I don't get it.
Nikkas deserve this for letting him get away with "interviewing" Pac on To Pimp A Butterfly
I haven’t heard his last album. I’ve heard drakes last. And it’s my fave Drake project. I hate most of his other shyt. Cornball crying Drake is annoying to me. Controversial shyt talking Drake is actually entertaininghe was never even top 10
few hits
pure hype
nothing resonates outside of the CORNIEST bars
what are we talking about?
Again, whats your FAVORITE bar on the last album?
No because he took shots at MegWhy, because he made a shytty house album?

Forest Hill Drive is Cole's classic. And it's insane to say its not close as well. U speaking on consistency but Kendrick took a whole 5 year break.
In subject matter yes. Drakes flow has gotten better but Kendrick based on subject matter has went from rapping about what he grew up on the mindset collectively on the black community to generational trauma and mental health. Drake has been rapping about the same bytch that did him wrong since thank me now thank me later with a little ego boosting here and there. Drake talking about droppin bodies now at almost 40 when he wasn’t rapping that shyt in his 20s.
