This might turn into a Drake hate thread.
But I was just listening to the Kendrick leak 'Somebody' and it seems like both him and Cole did not get any satisfaction from hitting the pinnacle of rap music. Especially not in the way Drake did. I wonder why that is.

I don't think Wayne/Ye/50 ever got to that place mentally. Such a start difference from Heart Part 1/Dollar and Dream 2

Drake :D

nobody cares about another "big 3" discussion...
there were two of them the other day

We still waiting on that collab

it's always the big 3

how about someone makes a thread about the Bottom 3

What u mean by this thread lol ?

He rapping from another person's perspective not his own

well neither of them ever hit the pinnacle of rap

kendrick was still a few steps below and cole was nowhere close

Left side left side hey
Right side right side hey

It seems like being at the top of the rap game didnt really give them much joy.

I'm wondering why that is, comparing them to other rappers who've been in their position.

Always gon' be a bigger house somewhere, but nigga feel me
Long as the people in that motherfucker love you dearly
Always gon' be a whip that's better than the one you got
Always gon' be some clothes that's fresher than the ones you rock
Always gon' be a b**** that's badder out there on the tours
But you ain't never gon' be happy 'til you love yours

Tier 1: Drake

Tier 2: Kendrick Cole and Future

Then everyone else

Cole and Kendrick have been nowhere close to Drakes success

This what matters

Drake's obviously happy at being at the top, but I feel like he's always craved the approval of hip hop heads and it eats at him from time to time.

Thats why his favorite work is where he's spitting bars on boom bap/soulful beats like Gold Roses.

Seems like they have a genuine mission that’s not attached to money or fame. The same thing happened with 3 stacks.

Drake and wayne etc are much more vain in where it seems like the fame and money validates them in a weird way.

That makes no sense Willburt.

Cole and Kendrick definitely in the same tier as Drake.

Dude put Future and Kendrick on the same tier

Wtf

just noticed that, that's a major CAP

Kendrick a true artist.

Kendrick is in the same tier commercially as Drake, Cole is definitely tier 2 tho

kendrick doesn't value commercial success as much as his peers do. he wants to be recognized as great through his art, not by stat-padding and dominating

as time goes on and kids become further removed from the commercial primes of legends, all that will matter at the end of the day is their catalog. "hits" eventually become regular album cuts to those who weren't around to feel the impact. kendrick knows that

no the hell he aint lmao

Leak what
