MiguelMeyerzIt 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.
Fame and success probably fuels drake more than the other two

jynthkendrick 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
kendrick doesn't value commercial success? lmao
out of all the artists in the world he chose to collaborate with Taylor Swift, maroon 5, and Sia lmaodude was making songs with Lady Gaga in 2012

DelejaynSeems 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.
3K is a good example. Even Lauryn Hill.
It's just interesting, what posses them to want it, work hard for it but then not "enjoy it"

They want it but what it they want is not money or fame. They really want to see the world changed from music and at a certain point they realize you can’t do that just through musics

i like this thread
i think it's why i feel like Drake's raps are a cut above Kendrick and Cole
even though you could make the case for either of them being the best of our generation
Drake raps from the same place Hov raps
the top of the game
not everybody can offer that kind of perspective and not everybody can handle being in that position let alone enjoy it
not everybody can be Jordan (HOV)
and not everybody can be Bron (Drake)and that's why in my head cannon
it's
Jay 1A
Drake 1Band then so on and so forth

FHD Mantra. I guess whatever he was looking for in rap, he didn't feel like it was real enough
