DotenheimerI don't speak on situations j don't know. I have never heard confirmation about the diddy situation.
And responding doesn't mean mad. Meek is competitive. Just like KRIT who responded or Lupe loli ain’t remember they responded but that proves the point responding at all is meaning you thought of it as a diss when it obviously wasn’t no?

tomearlyLooking at this list in 2021 shows just how little competition Kendrick had in the 2010s.
Push: one of the few who's just as skilled, but he's not even in the same arena because he's from a different generation in the first place, and he's stayed in basically the same lane since 2002.
Drake: skillset is strong but doesn't resemble Kendrick's even a little. One's a poet, the other makes hits.
J Cole: should have been the main rival, but fell off right as Kendrick took it to the next level and approached GOAT status.
The rest were either doing something entirely different or weren't good enough to justify a comparison in the first place.
Kendrick your goat ?

Whatever, bruh. One of them is mainly known for dropping hits and the other wrote To Pimp a Butterfly. Shut the f*** up. Lmao
Jun 2, 2021·2 repliesSpeaking to Billboard, however, Drake said he was unmoved by being namechecked in the song. Asked for his initial response to the track, he said that he simply “went about my day, went and got dinner and kept it moving”.
He went on to add: “I didn’t really have anything to say about it. It just sounded like an ambitious thought to me. That’s all it was. I know good and well that Kendrick’s not murdering me, at all, in any platform. So when that day presents itself, I guess we can revisit the topic.”

You're missing Freddie Gibbs, Danny Brown , Earl Sweatshirt, Lupe Fiasco, Roc Marciano, Run the Jewels, Brownsville Ka. Etc. So much talent in the 2010s
I was ordering the ones Kendrick named. But even then no one you named had the same lyrical talent and commercial success simultaneously as Kendrick did. That's all I was saying. Wasn't saying there was no skill in the 2010s.

Drake: well known for dropping his magnum opus reflection on race and self-identity. Oh, nevermind.

You can still be a poet without reflecting on race and self identity which is what I was referring to. What is the fundamental definition of poetry? It is literature that evokes a concentrated imaginative awareness of experience or a specific emotional response through language chosen and arranged for its meaning, sound, and rhythm. Something that Drake has done (especially with his earlier works) with hyper-reality, nostalgia, introspection, personal relationships. You can say what Kendrick is doing is more important for society as a whole (I'd agree), but Idt its fair to generalize them.

Nobody is saying Drake has never made any introspective or important art. You were overreading the comment. I was talking about what they are primarily known for, and how they're going to be remembered. Clearly Drake will be remembered as the main hitmaker of the 2010s. There's just no arguing out of that. And it's not like it's knocking him. But has he produced anything with the same depth as TPAB or even GKMC? I don't think so.

okay fair enough, i just feel like a lot of people just say he's a hitmaker to diminish quality he's put out
