    I've never looked into his solo stuff, will definitely give it a shot now, always cool to see someone rank an artist so highly who you didn't expect, makes you realise you might not have been paying enough attention to them

    I value lyricism and content over braggadocious raps.....I like both, but that's pretty much the only reason

    EDIT: Wait....how is Drake more relatable than Kendrick? You gotta be upper middle class suburban to feel that way

    BTW, this whole debate is pretty much Jay-Z vs Nas for Gen Z

    You can tell he doesn't actually listen to his music because you're barely scratching the surface here. Drake might be the most versatile rapper in the genre's history. That's a skill Kendrick doesn't have

    Drake hasn’t made a song that really hits hard emotionally beyond some breakup s*** since Too Much. He stopped using that skill

    Drake was relatable in the Marvin's Room days, but the whole cold blooded sociopath with mob ties and opps around every corner shtick (boneless mafioso Jay) kind of deaded that

    Eh, you could say that but GKMC is one of my top 5 most played albums of all time across all genres. I can talk s*** here for discussions but Kendrick doesn't need to do what Drake does because only Drake can do it that effortlessly and ditto for Drake trying to do what Kendrick does. Artistically, they couldn't be more different. Anybody not listening to one because of the other is only playing themselves.

    Debates like this were interesting 10 years ago but these days, they're boring to me. They're both hall of famers who have done more than enough to prove themselves. Yes, I'd like it if Kendrick dropped more music but he doesn't have to and neither does Drake, which is why it's unfortunate that many people don't appreciate his consistency throughout his career. Maybe when he retires they will.

    What I said wasn’t that deep i listen to Kendrick too

  • Kendrick is the goat. I don’t put anyone above him. Especially Drake.

    Hot take but The Diary>>>>Ready to Die>>>>GKMC (these are huge gaps between each)

    The Diary is 42 minutes no skips, the other two are overly long and much harder to sit through with skits (still classic but it’s levels to classic)

    Still kind of irks me when y’all make the pretentious point cause why cause his songs happen to be sociopolitical?

    Well I don't place him over Kendrick but I do appreciate his consistency throughout his career especially this decade

  • Aug 24, 2023

    drake is the better crooner

    Pinhead

    clears in pretty much every category

    a better thread would be reasons for placing Kendrick over Drake because that’s just pure comedy

    name checks out
