    lol u're really showing how weak ur musical knowledge is.

    Pride is literally the best influenced beatles song we've heard in YEARS.
    I can be technical if you want, and mention how nobody in hip hop has ever had a better usage of these normal triadic (3-note) chords, but I'm afraid you wouldn't understand what we're talking about.

    From a straight musical standpoint, DAMN is kendrick's best album. And your favorite songs on that albulm aren't even the best songs of the album lmao.

    No avy wilding as per usual

    Bro how is this at all true about Kanye? You do realize the rating Ye and JIK has right? And his career isn’t ended

    his career hasn't ended, but his ain't as respected as he was when mbdtf dropped

    Lots of people say cole is more relatable. I never saw that appeal in him tho tbh ive always related to kendrick more

    The irony of the "You need a certain amount of intelligence...." meme is that Cole's music is actually pretty simplistic. Cole is usually at his best when he's not trying to be super deep. Thats why so many common folks gravitate towards him over someone more complicated and nuanced like Kendrick.

    Didn’t really read too much of the argument in here but it looks like y’all are debating between Kendrick, Cole and Drake.

    I’ve said this before Kendrick’s music is more so suited for niggas like us, who be online dissecting and reading into all the layers and s***. But y’all can’t deny that IRL the argument isn’t “objective” like y’all think when it comes to who’s better. Yes WE believe Kendrick is way better. But I been said that more people IRL rock with Drake, Cole over Kendrick

    https://twitter.com/complexsports/status/1160715336666292224!https://youtu.be/30T6SuW823k

    I don’t agree with these videos at all but it’s an idea of how a lot of common folks think when it comes to music.

    like it been said multiple times, even joe budde nsaid it hismelf, it was because kendrick hasn't dropped in a while. Also, music lovers, critics, artists, musicians, they all admit kendrick is the superior artist.

    There was another video released not that long ago, and all 19 people interviewed said "Kendrick", nobody mentioned j cole or drake.

    Also Cole and Drake are everyman rappers. They touch the surface in their content which then makes it more relatable for different sides of the coin.

    Theres still alot of ppl who dont know what tpab tackles lol nothing wrong with what you prefer, but you cant argue that Kendricks music is more thought provoking.

    The talent Kendrick has is similiar to what Lupe did in his early career but even better. Making a***ytical, conceptual music while appealing to a mainstream

    It just depends on the pendulum. Most common folks picked Cole over Kendrick from 2014-early 2017, but once DAMN dropped it was a wrap for the rest of the year. Even Drake just shrugged and packed it up. Once Cole came back with the amazing feature run and Kendrick kinda faded in the background again working on his next album, it swung back to Cole > Kendrick.

    When Kendrick drops his next album, best believe you about to see fans, casuals, critics and other fellow artists on his nuts again.

    most common folks always been riding with Kendrick...at least since gkmc dropped lol.

    Not only his music was much better received, he was also selling more than Cole.

    good point. Cole's albums never do well in the long run. Meanwhile kendrick has his albums breaking eminem's longevity records on the billboard charts.

    I'm just saying, there's alot of dedicated Cole fans out there. I've been riding with Kendrick since I first heard GKMC. I think he's the best out of the big 3 and I always have.

    every artist has a core fanbase, we're talking about how respected they are outside of their core fanbase. Cole really doesn't get that much respect.

    I never see s*** like "I don't like cole but I admit hes great"

    I’ve learned not to get my hopes up. It’ll be decent definitely, but it always feels like its missing something

    Cole definitely has as much fans as Kendrick IMO. That’s one area where they are equal. I still think Cole is more relatable.

    yeah and its obvious to the point that multiple posts were made on different forums ahah

    The hook, cadence and rhythm is very beatle-esque

    Damnnnn idk why I never connected. any specific song you would say by the Beatles?

    I mean Graduation has a 79 on there and 808s has a 75 score. I don’t think using Metacritic as an example is logical. Because his career definitely didn’t end after Grad nor was he s***ted on.

    Yeah like you said “ music lovers, critics, artists, musicians “......none of those are common regular consumers.

  • Aug 20, 2020

    The whole “if Kendrick dropped an 80/100 album” makes sense because all his s*** in the 90s. Same can’t be said with Kanye, he only has one album in the 90s on Metacritic

    Why?

    I feel like whatever he’s got up his sleeve is gonna be game changing on a whole nother level & as much as dying for new kdot what a better way to let everyone drop & then at the end of the year really f*** the game up by dropping & putting the pressure on the top artist who plan to drop in 2021
