why is ye not a peer to cole drake and kenny? they are all top 5 selling rappers in the game i imagine? that doesnt make them peers?
ye a billionaire
neighbors, change, and the title track some of his best tracks fr
when the bells toll is also amazing. my personal fav.
Cole ain't say s*** that ever moved me like that, just sounds like warmed over versions of the legends. He's good at sounding like he's got something to say but it doesn't register with me
White people started that
Nah it’s cause he was still relevant in the culture and putting up big numbers comparative to them. That’s why he’s still compared to them even though he came out much earlier
It feels very weird and doesn’t fit with the themes too well
the only reason that songs on there is because it exactly fits with the themes of the album
It’s certainly not because it’s a great track that people love

This thread really is just a cole appreciation in disguise in light of some recent drops

Kanye is from the generation before he’s always gonna be in competition with them sales wise because well he’s Kanye
Ur prolly right but all those fanbases are majority white now lol
you know thats something that aint talked about enough. majority of rap fans are white just off the general population being white. so don't all the biggest hip hop takes that get the most traction come from white people? more of a reason to not jist go with the flow or be a follower when it comes to takes
there is no comparison
cole has 0 classics, kendrick has 3
Cole got classic mixtapes and FHD and born sinner could be counted as classics at this point but Kendrick does have a better discography
how is damn more complicated than tpab yall just say random s***
That backwards s*** was some bullshit lmao, and he made the concept vague so his pretentious stans would overanalyze it
when the bells toll is also amazing. my personal fav.
for whom the bell tolls & vile mentality are interesting tracks i wish he explored the style of more, i feel like he dabbled in some really interesting stuff on that album then just kinda left that style behind instead of evolving it
Kanye is from the generation before he’s always gonna be in competition with them sales wise because well he’s Kanye
so they are peers then?
Not even talking bout this site. But even on this site the amount of people that s*** on damn is a lot less than the amount of people that love it

Most places outside this site have liked or loved all of Kendricks albums from the jump. If this album was actually “mid” like some of y’all are saying, the tour wouldn’t have sold like it has. We saw what happened when Chance tried to do an arena tour for The Big Day.
so they are peers then?
No
the greatest college quarterback ever

Kanye is a 2000s rapper they are 2010s they all probably looked up to Kanye at some point. Ye peers are like Wayne 50, TI etc

I’m black and I listen to what I like, I’d hope nobody follows like that. Sad tbh
Is Jay Z a Peer cause he can drop anytime and outsell most rappers?
That backwards s*** was some bullshit lmao, and he made the concept vague so his pretentious stans would overanalyze it
it's more accessible overall though
Someone really said Curren$y has a better discog than Kanye
so they are peers then?
Not what peers means. They’re from different generations
Someone really said Curren$y has a better discog than Kanye
Ain’t no way
