In their 2010s prime

Sfg 09 tml 10 tc 11 nwts 13 iyrtitl/wattba 15 views 16 more life 17 scorpion 18

Klep 09 od 10 s80 11 gkmc 12 tpab 15 uu 16 damn 17 bp 18

Drake able to do hits s*** one after another

Kendrick able to do conceptually s*** one after the other

Their beginning 2010s run is especially amazing

Imagine doing sfg, tml, tc and nwts basically one after another

Od, s80, gkmc, tpab basically one afer the

The output along with quality was wild

Regardless how you feel about either or now, the 2010s versions of them was wild and were able to do quality + quantitiy like its nothing

cole being kicked out of the club might be the best thing happening to this discourse

Nah….the amount of garbage Drake put out is the reason he ain’t on Kendrick level at all

Two of the greatest to ever do it came up at the same time, collabed, went on tour together….man what a time

When u dont drop u cant be considered great
When u do u r doing too much and cant be great

Yall mfs just ungrateful

This site will never convince me that the overlap wasn’t strong enough at the beginning at least that you should have at least some love for both if you came up in my era

lol at trying to sneak Drake in by complimenting Kendrick.

those were happier times

lol at thinking drake is in the same conversation with the guy that dropped universally acclaimed album after universally acclaimed album every f***ing time.

You mean the same guy that called him Michael Jackson 🤨

"universally" aint a single person in china acclaiming TPAB, and defo aint no mf aliens acclaiming it either, talking about universally

that s*** is NATIONALLY acclaimed

The unfair slanders didn’t really pop off until memes moved into the early version of what we now consider memes lol

Nah I'd say Drake's just got a lower hit rate overall, if he or Kendrick dropped classic after classic every year nobody would have a problem

And it's been done, The Beatles only released music in a 7 year span, if they broke up today they would've only been around since the release of DAMN

On god s*** moved a hyper speed after 2015

i guess that's true for a lot of Hip-Hop tbh

most of the music centered on the Black experience only appeals to a black audience and people that are around Black people often

Yea I think also take care era was both good and bad for Drake, that’s when niggas really started to critique his persona and use that to judge the music

"I would have all of your fans
If I didn’t go pop and I stayed on some conscious s***"

Big 2 type s***

Kendrick is way more consistent but Drake had an undeniable prime in 09-15 for sure.

More Life was good too.

I still don't f*** with Views all that much save for some songs. But Views sounds like NWTS compared to most of his 2020's albums tbh.

I didn’t like IYRTITL but I agree on that being his prime.

Maybe I’ll relisten to it though.

I liked jungle and 10 bands (QM wrote it tho)

I fixed Kendricks timeline my bad

I left OD out on accident i thot i did add it

Klep 2009 OD 2010 S80 2011 GKMC 2012 is the timeline

Its wild how its year after

Especially, like i said in op of Kendrick, OD to GKMC

How tf you make OD then make S80 THEN MAKE GKMC all under a year of one another

Same with Drake, as mentioned in op, with SFG to NWTS

They had to be doing double shifts

Or they literally wrote and record songs in weeks to few months for just one, then go straight to the next one and vang it out again in a few weeks to few months

I dont think people how insane this is

Along with how successful and conceptual the projects by both of them are, its not "fast food" music, but goddamn it was spat out like it was - nor is it fresstyled s*** like wayne, jay and pac

That is something I wish an interviewer would ask them

How tf dud you organize, set up & give yourself a chance to breathe - and - was it banging one project out after the other focused on one each, or were making 2 to 3 projects basically at once and divided the tracks over time?

Mad genius s*** frfr

The only other thing like it is Kanye's similar mad genius run of 2010 to 2013 of good fridays 09, mbdtf 2010, wtt 2011, cruel summer 2012 and yeezus 2013

Literal inhuman s*** man its so wild and how do you keep track of all that and how do you not burn out or spiral out of control
