    Drake and em aren’t consistent quite the opposite and their frequent output actually has an opposite effect on their cases for being legendary in a art form driven by quality

    How isn't Drake consistent? All his s*** ages well. People who hated WATTBA/Views/More Life mostly love those projects now. DLDT received hate upon release but folks are already appreciating it now. Same with CLB. Every thing he drops doesn't need to be an instant classic. It just has to age well enough and that's most of Drake's music throughout his career.

    Obviously, Eminem is washed now and is a shell of who he once was but my point was that he's still remaining active and feeding his fanbase.

    That’s cool. I think how good the music is makes a rapper great.

    I don’t look to rappers for political statements. There are more qualified people for that than a pawn that’s signed to a record label ran by the system they’re against

    I don't either. That's the cool thing about Kendrick. I don't think he tries to intentionally make political records , but his experience as a black man in America is political. And he's able to paint that picture in away it's digestible.

    At first I was with OP but after consideration he just might be the greatest of the last generation on a creative level.

    Debatable.

    No it just proves that white hip hop fans are morons and are why the genre is stagnant and being overtaken by pop

    "work ethic" as if he is just sitting around doing nothing lmao for all you know he's made 3 albums but hasnt put em out because they aren't up to his standard, let artists cook man you going to listen anyways when it comes out

    Nothing matters unless we actually hear some s*** lmao. Who cares what he might have been doing behind the scenes? A movie director can make 10 timeless films. None of that s*** matters if no one ever gets to actually see those movies and decide for themselves how great they are.

    It’s called revisionist history heavily pushed by Drake stans

    Views and More Life are trash/mid and will always be

    WATTBA has always been appreciated idk what are you talking about

  • kenneth branagh

    then read all these black journalists saying the exact same thing

    https://hiphopdx.com/news/id.37916/title.kendrick-lamars-to-pimp-a-butterfly-one-year-anniversary-celebrated-by-genius#signup

    It's three journalists who gave it close to perfect saying it wasn't AS good as when it came about, or they changed their mind. Nothing like that sped post you made

    They've been begging for new music for years but the moment someone points that out or questions why he's been away for so long, they get defensive lol.

    As a non-Drake stan, Views is trash/mid. More Life is actually pretty alright.
