Oh so they can say words isn't that neat. Here I was thinking the people of the world gotta hand you that crown, but all these clowns tryna low key crown themselves smh
Drake is popular because he has no edges, he just makes the same songs with different beats and has had no evolution as an artist. In fact he's digressed since Take Care and NWTS. A singing lightskinned canadian, he's just a pop brand thats easy to market just like bruno mars. And when you compare them to real artists like Kendrick or The Weeknd you can see how they were essentially pushed to the top without any genuine prowess.
Drake can't create beats with his mouth that turn into hit songs like Michael and Kendrick can't create a song by playing several instruments like Prince but this was still a great comparison.
Drake is only MJ in popularity. He doesn't have the talent, stage presence, substance and consistency. Shit drake isnt even global like MJ, he's mostly just popular in the western countries while MJ was loved everywhere.
Degenerate drake is incredibly talented. He’s not been trying for the last couple of years coz he has already proven he can make great albums now he just cares about the money.
No No No! I like Drake, but they don’t compare in popularity. MJ could take a plane to any Country on this planet. Doesn’t matter could be Africa, India, South America, they’re going to know him and he will have a crowd gather in seconds. Drake on the other hand is only popular in USA, Canada, and Europe. No where else knows or really gives a fuck about him.
Drake and Kendrick shouldn’t even be in the same conversation when it comes to musical ability, vision, or talent because Kendrick takes all of those categories over Drake. Having said that, Drake is a marketing genius and he knows how to sell music, he knows what appeals to the masses most and he does it and does it well.
2011 - 2015 Drake is way better than Kendrick has ever been. The only thing Kendrick arguably had over him is rapping. Personally I find his voice annoying so I wouldn’t give him that, but I definitely understand why people would.
I think it’s the popularity & status they are comparing ... I could see drake & Mj but I can’t see Prince & Kendrick ... cause there were MANY other artist bigger than prince behind Mj
I rolled my eyes when I saw the title, until I watched the video. It's a reasonable comparison. However, MJ wasn't only popular, his music had depth too, just like KDot who is both conscious and mainstream
Yeah I'd compare Michael to Kendrick, both of them defined the genre in their respective decades. Also, both of them spoke about social issues affecting black people like Michael's They don't really care about us or Black or white; and Kendricks songs like the Blacker the Berry

@@therock3640 depends what you mean by songwriting. Wordplay, punchlines, and one liners, Drake in his prime is much better than kendrick and mj. Obviously kendrick is better at rhyming and deep lyrics. I'm not sure how you could say mj is a better songwriter than any of them, seeing as he's not a rapper, but to each their own I guess.

G10 g. 1.0 Prince on most of his music played all the instruments at a high level, ultimate Artistry. Prince first album he Fully Produced it, mixed it, mastered it, and played all the instruments!!
As soon as Drake shows talents in at least 3 different artforms, you can put his name in the sentece with MJs. But until that happens stop degrading MJs artistry.
Michael was never stressed out about Prince’s success he was dominating not only him but every person in the music industry.... Michael insecure about his talent ... COME ON man what are you talking about, that might be the ONLY think he wasn’t insecure about....
Nah It makes sense that prince would make mj feel insecure because mj is talented so he is good enough to know prince is better and no amount of commercial success could disprove that to mj. Imagine having a talent that to almost the rest of the world is unmatched and then you find some one who’s better it could easily shake a person to their core. There’s a reason why this is a story trope
Sounds about right. Drake’s definitely got MJ reminiscent stats, and Kendrick literally said that Prince lives through him in the Mask Off Remix. 🤷🏽♂️
@@valentineezeonyeka9788 None bc of streaming rendering your "argument" invalid.... check this out, back in the day, people bought an album or they only heard what radio played... crazy huh? Well, can still make comparison, just must do a little conversion of stats here and there... P.S. MJ had not only his own vast widely successful solo career after childhood career in Jackson 5... I'm no mathematician, but it's looking way better for Mike. In bet that damned monkey he carried around could've released a hit record. Lmfao - all due respect dude, but this comparison is silly.. It's comparing a star to an icon (yes, Drake is a star and great performer but Micheal was innovative, phenomenal and unstoppable in his day,) ✌😎
I've always thought Prince had no equal especially live, MJ inspired mainstream heavily, Prince inspired MUSICIANS heavily, you go to most musicians or rock youtubers and Prince is their GOD but MJ deserves all the love he gets. 😎
Yeah that sums it up spendidly. Both Kendrick and Prince offen command respect and admiration from their Peers. No wonder Prince wanted to work with him.
I think you mean Prince was more musical and complete as an artist. Which instrument did MJ played? Maybe a bit of piano. Prince was on another level, he wrote everything himself. MJ had Quincy backing him. Kendrick is more versatile, true artist. Drake more commercial focused, so i understand this comparison.

Pablo Moore you should bro listen to Good Kid M.a.a.d City and then To Pimp A Butterfly they are both masterpieces but some people prefer TPAB more than GKMC but it’s s hard to choose.
To Pimp A Butterfly is in my top 5 albums of all time. On a list that doesnt just include hip hop. It's a masterful jazz inspired rap album with a story and political/social lyrics. It has smooth bops and hard hitting powerful songs.
Michael Jackson was in a level that no artist will be, you just don't compare an artist with such a legend, is like trying to say a normal dude is god.
This was a great comparison I'm sure Drake and Kendrick would agree. "I'm the King of Pop I'm building Never, Neverland" -Drake "B*tch my hair down Prince live through me" -Kendrick
Richárd Kovács Michael would say "I just love Drake and I love Kendrick as well especially his message. To Pimp A Butterfly was an amazing album." Prince would say, "I don't know if I would call Drake real music but I think Kendrick is a necessary artist with an important message." Michael loved hip hop Prince not so much.
@@destroytmusicagan2476 😂😂😂 Prince stans make so much fuss about playing instruments. As if creating memorable music was about playing instruments. FYI playing instruments is about PERFORMING music, buddy, just like singing.
@@destroytmusicagan2476 and you even think you know what MJ or Prince would have THOUGHT about Lamar or Drake... FYI MJ didn't like any hip-hop, you clearly are not familiar with his opinion about it...
Do not compare this culture vulture to the greatest singer/performer of all time. MJ broke down racial barriers, pioneered genres of music and invented the modern music video... Drake sings a song who’s opening line is ‘Kiki do you love me, are you riding’. Michaels plethora of songs spanned many topics from love to social injustice, racism and war. Drake’s discography consists of sappy songs bleating about a girl he broke up with and materialistic fluff. Never, ever, compare this person to King of Pop, Rock and Soul. Ever
If we’re comparing popularity between Drake & MJ, let me just say one thing! ☝🏿 MJ was known in all 7 Continents. 300+ Countries. He could take a plane anywhere on this planet and a crowd will gravitate towards him in seconds. Drake is really only popular in USA, Canada, and Europe. Everywhere else either don’t know him or don’t give af because they have their own culture.
Ok this is just my opinion. I love Drake but nahh. I have yet to see someone reach the type of global success and popularity as Michael Jackson, even Beyonce can't compare to that, as popular as she is. Michael was on a whole different level when it came to popularity. When Michael was in his prime he was the absolute biggest star in the world. He was completely untouchable. Really interesting video though!
This was extremely well done. This virtual and audible representation of the dichotomy between MJ/Drake vs Prince/Kendrick was great journalistic reporting.
Y’all trippin . There relating the 2 relationships . Y🤷♂️is everybody in the comments comparing them as artists knowing that this shit is so debatable . Stay on the main topic
It started when MJ stunted on Prince at a James Brown show. Look it up on RUclips. James Brown didn't know who Prnice was but MJ did, invited him onstage and then disappears and leaves Prince to the wolves. He wound up climbing part of the set and falling. It's humiliating. Price held a grudge against MJ from then on.
Nick Williams actually he was trying to put Prince on , Prince wasn’t on the level he was before Purple rain ... nobody but his core fw with him before his classic purple rain
i dont believe that michael was trying to sabotage him on that. That show happen before the midia stared to put one against each other. It was prince before purple rain
Drake could never have the impact of mj. Neither is he a true artist like mj. Kill that noise. M.j had a whole hospital at his concerts because of people passing out on the count of him.drake not legendary and never will be.
TheArchitectBeats I can buy that, but the point remains. Drake tends to be underrated because he’s pop, while Kendrick, while great, has always been a bit overrated.
Before y'all Start hating, just remember that the video never Said mj and Drake are on the same level. It's saying that Drake is Michael Jackson for this generation and Kendrick is prince for this generation. They're not equating them to their actual quality. This was a great video!
a k i r a definitely Kanye’s personality will outlive drakes music Just like how Micheal Jackson’s disturbing personal life is more relevant than princes music.
Joey Kevorkian his personal life wasn’t disturbing at all. The media twisted it to make it seem like that at face value. Look deeper and you’ll see the most misunderstood human who ever existed.
The Prince and MJ rivarly was way different. Honestly, it was more of a one sided rivalry where Prince kept wanting to be better than Michael, and Michael honestly didn't even care
That’s not what their sound engineers said when they compared notes. They said that MJ was more pressed about Prince than the other way around. That’s their words, not mine. Prince didn’t even think he should be compared to MJ. He thought that he should be compared to Mozart. That’s what people call him. A modern day Mozart. Long dead before people realized his true genius and how prolific he was.
Here's the thing though... Kendrick is dope AF, Absolutely. However, he isn't even close to Prince Rogers Nelson. Prince had a career spanning 40+ YEARS. He played damn near every instrument, and actually DID play every instrument, self produce, arrange, and perform the majority of his Albums aside from the & the Revolution and & The NPG Albums, releasing am an album almost _EVERY YEAR_ During those 4 decades, and wrote & produced and starred in his own films as well.... Prince is incredible & a musical genius. Kendrick is a phenomenal hip hop pioneer; but he isn't producing the songs/albums, performing, writing, and producing all of his own beats either. I know he was executive producer of the Black Panther soundtrack. But that's one Album and Kendrick wasn't on every song - like Prince DID do for the original 1980's Batman movie. Look, I get thid is merely a comparison for comparison purposes within the rap/hip hop genre, saying Kendrick & Drake are the Prince & MJ of their genres, but. NAH - They ain't. Drake is the pop star of Rap, sure.... But again 🙅♂️ There really isn't a Prince nor MJ of music right now in any genre. I'll admit Drake & Kendrick are both incredibly talented and have each pushed the boundaries of music in their own ways; and I don't even really fuck with Drake like that. I liked Thank Me Later, and a few singles from albums here and there, but that's about it. But Kendrick has been out here for the past decade releasing classic masterpiece cohesive albums - 3 of them back to back to back.
@@humanbeing_ yeah i agree, and no one can do a hit like MJ did. Beatboxing his shit and all the elements in his song was already created in his mind and not on technologies. And the influence... Even the popularity, no one comes closer. his dancing evolution is legendary enough to even compare to them. THIS IS A DISRESPECT TO BOTH PRINCE AND MJ.
It's crazy how this post was made. Prince and Kendrick did collaborate with one another. Kendrick joined Prince onstage at Paisley Park in 2014 during a Yahoo sponsored live stream that promoted Prince's albums ART OFFICIAL AGE and PLECTRUM ELECTRUM.

(06/08/20) This Has Always Happened In History Especially In The Music Industry With Black Male If Anyone Understand This Its Like This. James Brown & Little Richard Michael Jackson & Prince Notorious B.I.G. & 2pac Jay-Z & Nas Drake & Kendrick Lamar
What is with ppl who are uncomfortable with comparisons? There’s obvious parallels and similarities that are interesting to discuss and generate ideas and conversation. The person who made this video is not being literal? What is the point you are making???
@@preciousgorgeousralf137 I'm Just Saying Drake Is Not That Good & Hires GhostWriters To Write His Hits. We Have Better Artists Like J.Cole , Kendrick, Jay Z , Kanye , Travis Scott, Eminem,etc. But You People put your attention on drake but you don't focus on The Real Talent who deserve recognition
There is no modern day Michael Jackson king of pop. But if we are going to make a case for modern day prince I think Kanye West is today’s Prince. He has produced and written so many hits for so many people and his own albums. It’s very similar to prince
Everybody in the comments section didn’t understand the video. He is not comparing drake and Michael talent obviously Michael would win but he saying is that drake and Kendrick are like mj and prince two good artist of the same category but one of them Stand out more bc of more hits or his voice. Yall just hating on drake bc is cool to hate on drake for no reason.
I wouldn't say Michael was insecure or threatened by Prince's success, just mad that he played the bass in his face, and Michael had a point, People did think of him as a Song/Dance Man when he was just as much of an Innovator to Music as Prince was.
It's well know that MJ was insecure when it came to Prince. He always resented being called a song and dance man, while Prince a true artist and critically acclaimed.
facts lol they’re acting like he’s saying Drake & Kendrick are better then them. Drake & Kendrick is modern day MJ & Prince but instead of pop it’s rap.
Drake is riding waves, Michael created them. MJ changed the music world in almost every aspect. From song-writing, recording & performing, to the popularization of music videos. His impact left a footprint on pretty much every other popular artist's body of work today. There's honestly no comparison between the 2
"Drake is a master manipulator" Im now convinced Kendrick watched this video 4 years ago when he wrote his diss tracks 😂😂 In conclusion , Kendrick is both MJ and Prince in terms of talent, social impact and respect from their colleagues
I’m almost 100% sure behind the scenes they talk to one another about these discussions, when Michael died prince locked himself away in his room for days it’s an immeasurable respect they have for each others craft
This will jst becomes a place for insecure people to hate on Drake. Jst kno, all your favorite songwriters and rappers think Drake is amazing, and they laugh at you because you think you have taste, but you’re an armchair expert. I love all four artists, all four artists are great, and no one commenting has any room to criticize them. Very few ppl who’ve ever lived can in any real and meaningful way.
MJ had a much bigger impact on music than all the other 3 combined and that’s FACTS don’t ever disrespect Mj like that again. Prince can make better music than mj? According to who? What is a fact is Mj outsold prince and his music reached every part of the world and is the most influential artist of the past 100 years. Btw change the title of the video to “typical prince fanboy”
MJ insecurity and Drake insecurity is not the same. Michael was a genuine soul who truly didn't want problems with anyone for anyone. Drake would sabotage someone else to sate his own ego. This comparison feels deeply disrespectful
The Weekend is more close to being like MJ he can sing and dance like MJ he didn’t do a good remake of Billy Jean I was disappointed in that one, Dirty Diana was great !
I think this is a great comparison because you have two powerhouses in the music industry with contrasting styles. Like Michael Jackson, Drake is pretty much one dimensional (pop rap) whereas like Prince, Kendrick is way more talented and diverse (Grammys on Grammys and a Pulitzer Prize). Also like Prince, Kendrick has been the same artist since he came out whereas like MJ, Drake be switching up (I'm surprised he ain't trying to make his skin darker yet). Monday he's singing Tuesday he's twisting up his fingers and banging Wednesday he got a Jamaican accent Thursday he's on Ellen in a turtleneck and Friday he's doing something called a tootsie slide? To sum it all up Drake is an industry n***a, and Kendrick is a n***a in the industry, know the difference.
Not saying that you should compare the King of Pop to a Canadian rapper, but their artistry is basically the same. Micheal Jackson studied and mirrored the moves of his superiors and made them better. Exactly what Drake did. Except this is hip hop, and that kind of stuff will get you lynched.
Ted Destin no sir , He studied the game and made his own style he did things James and brown and Jackie Wilson didn’t do , Drake took from others and thinking he the goat of it fuck no
Drake is 100% not even close to Michael Jackson. 💯. He toke Michael Jackson off his set list cause he was too much of a coward to leave him on. He doesn’t dance like Michael and isn’t kind like Michael. 🤷🏽♂️
MCOC_ Josh I saw that Drake removed half of the Scorpion album from that set list because he had to give Tory Lanez time to perform his own set list. Drake performed the hits from the album, and the other more popular songs. I think he performed like 10 or 11 songs from the album, and left 11 songs off the set list. Drake always shows his respect for Mike, and I don't think he'd let some false BS accusations change his mind.👌🏽
@@JTMoodie2 Kendrick is one of the greatest artists of this generation so if someones gonna be compared to prince or MJ he's the best candidate. Drake is literally a dense ball of mediocrity
@@CloudTribe Welp, that same "dense ball of mediocrity" has been outselling Kendrick 5x over for the past decade. Bar for bar, Kendrick likely has the upper hand, but does that mean that Drake has literally 0 bars of his own? Id take Drake over any of these SoundCloud rappers, and beyond that, his music is comparable to the powerhouses of today, and even the past generations in most cases If you think Drake hasnt done anything new or revolutionary with his music, a lot of the doors and careers for guys like Tory Lanez and PARTYNEXTDOOR or Bryson Tiller, Fetty Wap, Logic, and i could go on. Their careers would never be what they are today if Drake never paved the way for that style of music to be prosperous. Toronto is on the map and is *popping* because of the contributions from Drake and The Weeknd and the OVO crew. Youd be suprised to see the state of Rap and Hip Hop, and RnB in some cases if you remove Drake Rap is the new Pop music cause of Drake. Don't discount the boy.
@@JTMoodie2 I mean sales don't mean much in the digital era. Since songs like Hotline Bling and Gods Plan are out months before the album and the sales from that count as album sales where as Kendrick just drops all his music at once. Let Drake drop an album no promo, no singles and see how he fairs. Also Kendrick talks about police brutality, gang violence, his evolution as a person and Drake whines about girls who he likely never cared about, he just needs subject matter to rap about. His new son has made that pretty clear. He's easy to market and the city of Toronto spends their own money promote him. Theirs so much money buying into Drakes brand. I literally live next to Toronto and the cities destroyed by the housing problem, the time for new artists from the city has passed and it's over. Drake hogged all the attention for himself and has no heir to replace himself with. He put Toronto on the map but not in a good way.
@@CloudTribe Esharido Esharido if Drake put out an album without any warning, do you seriously believe he wouldn't do as good or better than he normally does? Be serious. The most marketable artist? Doesnt do well on an album because he didnt drop a single or two? Yeah okay. 1) Drake can't speak on his experiences with gang violence or police brutality hes been through or witnessed, or anything American politics related.. because he's Canadian... Temper your expectations. Even then, you'd know that he has addressed it briefly in his music before if you were actually someone who listened to his music, but youre starting to make it clear that you've made opinions on an artist you dont know about. If you listened, you know that his subjects stretch further than just the women in his life. Lastly, there is a housing problem in a bunch of different places, and its worse in different places in the world than just Toronto. Plus, are you actually telling me you wanna hear rap about the housing crisis? Even then, we both know Drake can't speak on that since apparently he never "started from the bottom" or whatever y'all claim since you know him so well. You dont really know whats going on in the city. You dont pay particular attention to whats going on in the city. You're right next to it but all the energy passes you by. Start paying attention to all the artists and creators that come from that great city and you'll understand and see that things aren't what you think.
"They act as if two legends cannot coexist" J Cole Both artists are dope. I personally like all of kendricks albums in the order they were released. 1. GKMC 2. TPAB 3. DAMN. I go to Kendrick for substance, community activism, visual and lyrical creativity. I am a huge drake fan. I go to him for the summer hits, hidden bars that go over people head, I live his vengeful and spiteful music, I go to him because I relate to a lot if the records he make concerning women. His videos are usually good. I know the running jokeis to say he doesn't write anything even though thats false, I love his weird play. There a place for both artist because they do different things, they're in two different lanes. They are the best at what they do. St tge end of the day, people forget it was drake that put Kendrick and asap Rocky on the big stage. Of course rocky and Kendrick had a name but it didn't get big until drake took THEM on tour, drake did the song with Kendrick and drake GAVE THEM "fuckin problems".
Damn, this video💔😔 My heart tells me this comparison is wrong because MJ is the GOAT. But my head tells me, this guy's got a point. Guess I have to listen to Prince and see for myself
"She said she broke down when prince died, let your hair down prince lived in me"

Shallow comparison falls apart when you go into the depth of artistry of MJ. And the lack thereof of drakes.
Thinking too deep weirdo.
Drake is popular because he has no edges, he just makes the same songs with different beats and has had no evolution as an artist. In fact he's digressed since Take Care and NWTS. A singing lightskinned canadian, he's just a pop brand thats easy to market just like bruno mars. And when you compare them to real artists like Kendrick or The Weeknd you can see how they were essentially pushed to the top without any genuine prowess.
Esharido your opinion went out the window when you said “the weeknd”. L. And gts.
On the surface it is a good comparison definitely they are the Top 2 artist of their decade.
Drake can't create beats with his mouth that turn into hit songs like Michael and Kendrick can't create a song by playing several instruments like Prince but this was still a great comparison.

Nah It makes sense that prince would make mj feel insecure because mj is talented so he is good enough to know prince is better and no amount of commercial success could disprove that to mj.
Imagine having a talent that to almost the rest of the world is unmatched and then you find some one who’s better it could easily shake a person to their core. There’s a reason why this is a story trope
Sounds about right. Drake’s definitely got MJ reminiscent stats, and Kendrick literally said that Prince lives through him in the Mask Off Remix. 🤷🏽♂️
Drake does not have no damn Michael stats lol. All Michaels albums went diamond the year it dropped, drake doesn’t have a diamond album.
This is rap he is talking about, how many rap albums have gotten diamond bro
@@valentineezeonyeka9788 None bc of streaming rendering your "argument" invalid.... check this out, back in the day, people bought an album or they only heard what radio played... crazy huh? Well, can still make comparison, just must do a little conversion of stats here and there... P.S. MJ had not only his own vast widely successful solo career after childhood career in Jackson 5... I'm no mathematician, but it's looking way better for Mike. In bet that damned monkey he carried around could've released a hit record. Lmfao - all due respect dude, but this comparison is silly.. It's comparing a star to an icon (yes, Drake is a star and great performer but Micheal was innovative, phenomenal and unstoppable in his day,) ✌😎

Xlover NewmanPro Pretty much, as a music myself, to me Prince is the GOAT
Typical comment by Prince stans. But a total bullshit.
@@richardkovacs2006 Why you hating? I rate MJ higher than Prince, but there's nothing wrong with people thinking Prince is greater.
@@kezzaboy233 Your 1st comment is an utter bullshit. It's not hating. But a simple fact.
MJ is the greatest live performer ever lol. Just watch him and prince with James brown and you tell me who dominated the stage.
Yeah that sums it up spendidly.
Both Kendrick and Prince offen command respect and admiration from their Peers.
No wonder Prince wanted to work with him.
Trash to MJ.
I think you mean Prince was more musical and complete as an artist. Which instrument did MJ played? Maybe a bit of piano. Prince was on another level, he wrote everything himself. MJ had Quincy backing him.
Kendrick is more versatile, true artist.
Drake more commercial focused, so i understand this comparison.
Fax 💯! Prince is the 🐐. Kung Fu Kenny 9000x's better than Drake. Nuff said
pple on kendrick dick Too much. wasn’t too long Ago, i would Say before Dam, kendrick Didn’t Have a Huge fanbase. To pimp A butterfly was too Deep for most mainstreem fans. Dam kind of changed All of that. niggas be on His dick so hard But can Only remember “sit down ...Be Humble” part In Humble, and most of His biggest Hits. pple Always gona give it to Kendrick, simple because he’s the under dog, where’s drake Hasn’t been for years. But on a Day-to day basis, kendrick spits Poetry At Best . not “genius” lyricist pple paint Him out to be. Drake LITERALLY Created A lanee . kendrick just joined One.
You smoking rocks, MJ is the goat
One is called prince & the other king!
This video makes me wanna listen some Kendrick Lamar albums, amazing videos!!!!
Pablo Moore you should bro listen to Good Kid M.a.a.d City and then To Pimp A Butterfly they are both masterpieces but some people prefer TPAB more than GKMC but it’s s hard to choose.
To Pimp A Butterfly is in my top 5 albums of all time. On a list that doesnt just include hip hop.
It's a masterful jazz inspired rap album with a story and political/social lyrics. It has smooth bops and hard hitting powerful songs.

@@ItsValWow that's such an empty thing to say. What makes him a better artist? I'm not agreeing or disagreeing, but What's your reasoning
Juan Galvan III because he was able to make better music and had more skill in making the music. He wrote more, played more, produced more etc
Michael Jackson was in a level that no artist will be, you just don't compare an artist with such a legend, is like trying to say a normal dude is god.

Richárd Kovács Michael would say "I just love Drake and I love Kendrick as well especially his message. To Pimp A Butterfly was an amazing album." Prince would say, "I don't know if I would call Drake real music but I think Kendrick is a necessary artist with an important message."

Do not compare this culture vulture to the greatest singer/performer of all time. MJ broke down racial barriers, pioneered genres of music and invented the modern music video... Drake sings a song who’s opening line is ‘Kiki do you love me, are you riding’. Michaels plethora of songs spanned many topics from love to social injustice, racism and war. Drake’s discography consists of sappy songs bleating about a girl he broke up with and materialistic fluff. Never, ever, compare this person to King of Pop, Rock and Soul. Ever

Sounds like someone whos only listened to scorpion and based his judgements on that
If we’re comparing popularity between Drake & MJ, let me just say one thing! ☝🏿
MJ was known in all 7 Continents. 300+ Countries. He could take a plane anywhere on this planet and a crowd will gravitate towards him in seconds.
Drake is really only popular in USA, Canada, and Europe. Everywhere else either don’t know him or don’t give af because they have their own culture.
I see your point, but there would be various other places than just the three you mentioned. Still not as global as Mj though.
Only those 3 mentioned places? 👀
Drake is the biggest artist in Africa
In Europe? In some parts of Europe at most. MJ is known the world over. Still.
Drake is huge in Africa. So....

Ok this is just my opinion. I love Drake but nahh. I have yet to see someone reach the type of global success and popularity as Michael Jackson, even Beyonce can't compare to that, as popular as she is. Michael was on a whole different level when it came to popularity. When Michael was in his prime he was the absolute biggest star in the world. He was completely untouchable. Really interesting video though!
This was extremely well done. This virtual and audible representation of the dichotomy between MJ/Drake vs Prince/Kendrick was great journalistic reporting.

It started when MJ stunted on Prince at a James Brown show. Look it up on RUclips. James Brown didn't know who Prnice was but MJ did, invited him onstage and then disappears and leaves Prince to the wolves. He wound up climbing part of the set and falling. It's humiliating. Price held a grudge against MJ from then on.
Nick Williams actually he was trying to put Prince on , Prince wasn’t on the level he was before Purple rain ... nobody but his core fw with him before his classic purple rain

Different styles. Drake is a pop artist, Kendrick is introspective. Bar for bar, I don't think there's that much distance though.
It is much closer than you think but Kendrick is edging Drake

Before y'all Start hating, just remember that the video never Said mj and Drake are on the same level. It's saying that Drake is Michael Jackson for this generation and Kendrick is prince for this generation. They're not equating them to their actual quality. This was a great video!

Popstar vs Artist
imo Kanye was the closest thing to another MJ in his prime
a k i r a definitely Kanye’s personality will outlive drakes music Just like how Micheal Jackson’s disturbing personal life is more relevant than princes music.
Joey Kevorkian his personal life wasn’t disturbing at all. The media twisted it to make it seem like that at face value. Look deeper and you’ll see the most misunderstood human who ever existed.
The Prince and MJ rivarly was way different. Honestly, it was more of a one sided rivalry where Prince kept wanting to be better than Michael, and Michael honestly didn't even care
That’s not what their sound engineers said when they compared notes. They said that MJ was more pressed about Prince than the other way around. That’s their words, not mine.
Prince didn’t even think he should be compared to MJ. He thought that he should be compared to Mozart.
That’s what people call him. A modern day Mozart. Long dead before people realized his true genius and how prolific he was.
@@suzeesix Wow that's interesting, didn't know that
@@hridaymehta5782 Yeah, Prince’s sound engineer, Susan Rodgers said it on a podcast.
Nah Kendrick Lamar is MJ and Prince..thank me later
the first true shit ive heard
Ya just don't get it son
Here's the thing though... Kendrick is dope AF, Absolutely. However, he isn't even close to Prince Rogers Nelson. Prince had a career spanning 40+ YEARS. He played damn near every instrument, and actually DID play every instrument, self produce, arrange, and perform the majority of his Albums aside from the & the Revolution and & The NPG Albums, releasing am an album almost _EVERY YEAR_ During those 4 decades, and wrote & produced and starred in his own films as well.... Prince is incredible & a musical genius. Kendrick is a phenomenal hip hop pioneer; but he isn't producing the songs/albums, performing, writing, and producing all of his own beats either. I know he was executive producer of the Black Panther soundtrack. But that's one Album and Kendrick wasn't on every song - like Prince DID do for the original 1980's Batman movie.
Look, I get thid is merely a comparison for comparison purposes within the rap/hip hop genre, saying Kendrick & Drake are the Prince & MJ of their genres, but. NAH - They ain't. Drake is the pop star of Rap, sure.... But again 🙅♂️
There really isn't a Prince nor MJ of music right now in any genre. I'll admit Drake & Kendrick are both incredibly talented and have each pushed the boundaries of music in their own ways; and I don't even really fuck with Drake like that. I liked Thank Me Later, and a few singles from albums here and there, but that's about it. But Kendrick has been out here for the past decade releasing classic masterpiece cohesive albums - 3 of them back to back to back.
@@humanbeing_ yeah i agree, and no one can do a hit like MJ did. Beatboxing his shit and all the elements in his song was already created in his mind and not on technologies. And the influence... Even the popularity, no one comes closer. his dancing evolution is legendary enough to even compare to them. THIS IS A DISRESPECT TO BOTH PRINCE AND MJ.
He's not Michael Jackson, he compares himself to Michael Jackson...
DRAKE AIN'T BETTER THAN KENDRICK !
This is extremely accurate! Kendrick is Hip Hop
It's crazy how this post was made. Prince and Kendrick did collaborate with one another. Kendrick joined Prince onstage at Paisley Park in 2014 during a Yahoo sponsored live stream that promoted Prince's albums ART OFFICIAL AGE and PLECTRUM ELECTRUM.

Prince & Kendrick Are Kings 👑
Everybody in the comments section didn’t understand the video. He is not comparing drake and Michael talent obviously Michael would win but he saying is that drake and Kendrick are like mj and prince two good artist of the same category but one of them Stand out more bc of more hits or his voice. Yall just hating on drake bc is cool to hate on drake for no reason.
I wouldn't say Michael was insecure or threatened by Prince's success, just mad that he played the bass in his face, and Michael had a point, People did think of him as a Song/Dance Man when he was just as much of an Innovator to Music as Prince was.
It's well know that MJ was insecure when it came to Prince. He always resented being called a song and dance man, while Prince a true artist and critically acclaimed.
Lmao love how people get so mad about comparisons. I agree with this video Drake = MJ and Kendrick = Prince
And as expected, the comparison and likeness goes over everyone's heads.

drake created waves too 1:46
"Drake is a master manipulator"
Im now convinced Kendrick watched this video 4 years ago when he wrote his diss tracks 😂😂
In conclusion , Kendrick is both MJ and Prince in terms of talent, social impact and respect from their colleagues
Bingo!!!
J Cole must b Whitney then😂
That’s what I’m sayn
I’m almost 100% sure behind the scenes they talk to one another about these discussions, when Michael died prince locked himself away in his room for days it’s an immeasurable respect they have for each others craft
Drake's music will not live on like mj. They're similar in status but mj's way higher in artistry. The comparison is disrespectful
This will jst becomes a place for insecure people to hate on Drake. Jst kno, all your favorite songwriters and rappers think Drake is amazing, and they laugh at you because you think you have taste, but you’re an armchair expert. I love all four artists, all four artists are great, and no one commenting has any room to criticize them. Very few ppl who’ve ever lived can in any real and meaningful way.
MJ had a much bigger impact on music than all the other 3 combined and that’s FACTS don’t ever disrespect Mj like that again. Prince can make better music than mj? According to who? What is a fact is Mj outsold prince and his music reached every part of the world and is the most influential artist of the past 100 years. Btw change the title of the video to “typical prince fanboy”
MJ insecurity and Drake insecurity is not the same. Michael was a genuine soul who truly didn't want problems with anyone for anyone. Drake would sabotage someone else to sate his own ego. This comparison feels deeply disrespectful
"Drake is Michael Jackson, Kendrick Lamar is Prince"
Me: makes sense
4 years ago😂😂 nah this can't be a coincidence
You'd think Hip-Hop heads would understand a comparison...
The Weekend is more close to being like MJ he can sing and dance like MJ he didn’t do a good remake of Billy Jean I was disappointed in that one, Dirty Diana was great !
This was an extremely on point video.
No.
Prince has always been a meanie 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 MJ sounded like my little cousins 🤣
I think this is a great comparison because you have two powerhouses in the music industry with contrasting styles. Like Michael Jackson, Drake is pretty much one dimensional (pop rap) whereas like Prince, Kendrick is way more talented and diverse (Grammys on Grammys and a Pulitzer Prize). Also like Prince, Kendrick has been the same artist since he came out whereas like MJ, Drake be switching up (I'm surprised he ain't trying to make his skin darker yet). Monday he's singing Tuesday he's twisting up his fingers and banging Wednesday he got a Jamaican accent Thursday he's on Ellen in a turtleneck and Friday he's doing something called a tootsie slide? To sum it all up Drake is an industry n***a, and Kendrick is a n***a in the industry, know the difference.
Not saying that you should compare the King of Pop to a Canadian rapper, but their artistry is basically the same. Micheal Jackson studied and mirrored the moves of his superiors and made them better. Exactly what Drake did. Except this is hip hop, and that kind of stuff will get you lynched.
Ted Destin no sir , He studied the game and made his own style he did things James and brown and Jackie Wilson didn’t do , Drake took from others and thinking he the goat of it fuck no
Drake is 100% not even close to Michael Jackson. 💯. He toke Michael Jackson off his set list cause he was too much of a coward to leave him on. He doesn’t dance like Michael and isn’t kind like Michael. 🤷🏽♂️
MCOC_ Josh I saw that Drake removed half of the Scorpion album from that set list because he had to give Tory Lanez time to perform his own set list. Drake performed the hits from the album, and the other more popular songs. I think he performed like 10 or 11 songs from the album, and left 11 songs off the set list. Drake always shows his respect for Mike, and I don't think he'd let some false BS accusations change his mind.👌🏽
Well well well.
%100 Drake and MJ more iconic prince and Kendrick more authentic and classic perfectly explained
Kanye is MJ, Kendrick is Prince!
(Edit: Change my Mind)
“No” to this entire video. Drake has literally done nothing new or revolutionary. Y’all really hyping him way too much. 🙄
And where is your argument against Kendrick?
@@JTMoodie2 Kendrick is one of the greatest artists of this generation so if someones gonna be compared to prince or MJ he's the best candidate. Drake is literally a dense ball of mediocrity
@@CloudTribe Welp, that same "dense ball of mediocrity" has been outselling Kendrick 5x over for the past decade. Bar for bar, Kendrick likely has the upper hand, but does that mean that Drake has literally 0 bars of his own? Id take Drake over any of these SoundCloud rappers, and beyond that, his music is comparable to the powerhouses of today, and even the past generations in most cases
If you think Drake hasnt done anything new or revolutionary with his music, a lot of the doors and careers for guys like Tory Lanez and PARTYNEXTDOOR or Bryson Tiller, Fetty Wap, Logic, and i could go on. Their careers would never be what they are today if Drake never paved the way for that style of music to be prosperous.
Toronto is on the map and is *popping* because of the contributions from Drake and The Weeknd and the OVO crew. Youd be suprised to see the state of Rap and Hip Hop, and RnB in some cases if you remove Drake
Rap is the new Pop music cause of Drake. Don't discount the boy.
@@JTMoodie2 I mean sales don't mean much in the digital era. Since songs like Hotline Bling and Gods Plan are out months before the album and the sales from that count as album sales where as Kendrick just drops all his music at once. Let Drake drop an album no promo, no singles and see how he fairs.
Also Kendrick talks about police brutality, gang violence, his evolution as a person and Drake whines about girls who he likely never cared about, he just needs subject matter to rap about. His new son has made that pretty clear. He's easy to market and the city of Toronto spends their own money promote him. Theirs so much money buying into Drakes brand.
I literally live next to Toronto and the cities destroyed by the housing problem, the time for new artists from the city has passed and it's over. Drake hogged all the attention for himself and has no heir to replace himself with. He put Toronto on the map but not in a good way.
@@CloudTribe Esharido Esharido if Drake put out an album without any warning, do you seriously believe he wouldn't do as good or better than he normally does? Be serious. The most marketable artist? Doesnt do well on an album because he didnt drop a single or two? Yeah okay.
1) Drake can't speak on his experiences with gang violence or police brutality hes been through or witnessed, or anything American politics related.. because he's Canadian... Temper your expectations. Even then, you'd know that he has addressed it briefly in his music before if you were actually someone who listened to his music, but youre starting to make it clear that you've made opinions on an artist you dont know about. If you listened, you know that his subjects stretch further than just the women in his life.
Lastly, there is a housing problem in a bunch of different places, and its worse in different places in the world than just Toronto. Plus, are you actually telling me you wanna hear rap about the housing crisis? Even then, we both know Drake can't speak on that since apparently he never "started from the bottom" or whatever y'all claim since you know him so well. You dont really know whats going on in the city. You dont pay particular attention to whats going on in the city. You're right next to it but all the energy passes you by. Start paying attention to all the artists and creators that come from that great city and you'll understand and see that things aren't what you think.
"They act as if two legends cannot coexist" J Cole
Both artists are dope. I personally like all of kendricks albums in the order they were released. 1. GKMC 2. TPAB 3. DAMN. I go to Kendrick for substance, community activism, visual and lyrical creativity.
I am a huge drake fan. I go to him for the summer hits, hidden bars that go over people head, I live his vengeful and spiteful music, I go to him because I relate to a lot if the records he make concerning women. His videos are usually good. I know the running jokeis to say he doesn't write anything even though thats false, I love his weird play.
There a place for both artist because they do different things, they're in two different lanes. They are the best at what they do. St tge end of the day, people forget it was drake that put Kendrick and asap Rocky on the big stage. Of course rocky and Kendrick had a name but it didn't get big until drake took THEM on tour, drake did the song with Kendrick and drake GAVE THEM "fuckin problems".
Kanye is David Bowie
Damn, this video💔😔 My heart tells me this comparison is wrong because MJ is the GOAT. But my head tells me, this guy's got a point. Guess I have to listen to Prince and see for myself
