Never forget when meek called out drake, drake replied immediately..
When Kendrick blatantly called him out in the BET cypher and other other bits over the years drake has never addressed it.... he don't want this smoke from Kung Fu Kenny
👀
I dont see drake as a rapper. I see him more as a pop artist. Like taylor swift or somethin
Jesse XO facts
Jesse XO the same Taylor Swift that Kendrick did a remix with? bahahahahaha
Jesse XO Facts
Jesse XO if you look at Drake's whole career he is clearly a rapper, it's just that a lot of his chart topping singles happen to be rnb songs
actin like energy, legend, know yourself, actin like all me and started from the bottom aren't a thing. you don't have to be a popstar just because you like to sing. let him remain as just an artist.
Back here in 2024…. And WOW. Kdot washing Drake has been a long time coming
This aged well, long overdue but finally the battle is on. Kendrick was holding up a grudge 😭
Stayed lyrical, talks about real shit, took that and went multi-platinum. Ain't that what we've been asking for? yet people still hate. What is Kendrick doing wrong then?
TriniKidNYC people are grading kendrick on a tougher scale because he put himself in the god catergory with nas,hov,big,pac,3stacks. thats a whole other convo. just because kendrick is easily the best artist out this current rotation doesnt put him on god level. raekwon,scarface,big pun,50 cent,nelly, were all the best artist out of their rotations but are any of them on god level HELL NO kendrick does not have a front to back classic album and no classic mixtape run under his belt. he got work to do to reach that status
All of what you said was either based on nostalgia or pure opinion. He got in that God level discussion because despite him keeping his music conscious, keeping an above average to great level of lyricism as well as having some of the most critically acclaimed catalogues as well as going platinum back to back to back he has now entered that discussion. Mind you, everything I have just said is pure fact no opinion. Wikipedia could tell you that. Raekwon, Scarface, and Nelly(50 might have an argument) have never done what Kendrick is doing, mixing commercial success with critically acclaimed content.
public domain
GKMC is a classic and so is TPAB thats back to back classics. You either don't listen to/follow much or you're hating
public domain he doesn't have a front to back classic album? L
Gkmc is a front to back classic
Tpab is a front to back classic.
(I wouldn't say Section 80 is a classic but it's really good)
It's too early for Damn. to be a classic.
fancy seeing you here 🫵🏾😏
"Drake gives us what we want, Kendrick gives us what we need"- Simple
Simple?, lol
@@AhsanWasim simple
Simple? The man disappears for a half a decade at a time lol
@@jwood8769 just like Goku in the hyperbolic time chambers Kendrick needs time to power up 😒😓
@@jwood8769 yeahh exaclty, you would WANT him to drop more consistently.
Drakes ghostwriter about to quit if Kendrick vs. Drake happens.
Lmaooo
Truuuee
Literally happened
This aged like fine scotch
As a rapper and not a businessman... Kendrick>Drake
Wyo exactly. Somebody in comments that gets it
Drakes barely a rapper anymore
Wyo as an artist
ALL publicity Is good publictity I'm not comparing Drake to them but at the end of the day music is a business. Drakes been on the top 100 consecutively since 09. Even without music Drake has a brand he can sell and a label he represents, now add that to the whole Toronto Raptors thing and ventures he pursues, such as Jordan. Right now Drake ain't near them but in 10 years? Shit he might be past them business wise.
KingOne Obvious troll
here after Drake got bodied
Imagine if Everyday Struggle was still around during this beef 😢
It basically was. Ak went to the JBP a few times.
This is a great thing to look back on
If Kendrick vs Drake was going to happen, it should've happened 4yrs ago. They need to squash this petty shit, it's played out now.
there is probably nothing to squash the internet has been doing all the talking about this so called beef not them.. infact drake congratulated kendrick on his Album sales people are reaching maybe a few yrs ago there was tension but id be suprised if anything went off now
Lmfao, scared ass drake fan 😂😂😂.
Both of y’all were wrong.
This is the Nas vs Jay Z debate once again with Kendrick and Drake. Kendrick being Nas and Drake being Jay. Drake and jay are hitmakers. Nas and Kendrick are cold penned lyricist with storytelling so great.
Please stop. Kendrick & Drake are nowhere near and nothing like Nas & Jay.
There's literally no point. I've seen this forced "there Nas/Jay" argument before. It's just that...forced and coming from newbies who don't know anything about Nas & Jay.
Che Bugginz this is more like LL and Canibus
Since drake has a bigger crowd of stans than kendrick
please listen to 4:44 and explain why Jay can't be in both categories at the same time
Nas had 6 platinum albums before the beef and Jay is a lyricist and storyteller too. They're not opposites
You can say Kendrick is overrated all you want...but until Aubrey comes out with a verse equivalent to Kendrick's verse on Control...he don't wanna step into that arena with K-Dot! Kendrick was actually being really NICE on Control.
Equivalent to Kendrick's verses on Kush & Corinthians, The Heart Pt. 2, etc.. way harder verses than Control
Either way... Aubrey don't want it!
Control was hard but it's overrated because he called out a couple of names.
Super Cold Bitch he called out every big rapper in the game and set he wanted to end their careers. Your favorite rapper isn't doing that. Shut the fuck up and think before you speak
The point I'm making is simple and true. U can debate about how hard Kendrick's verse was on Control, what other song was by Kendrick was harder...whatever. Kendrick called out everyone at one time, in one verse, and bodied them bcuz he had the balls to do it. Now u don't do that not unless u know your are the BEST. U do not call out EVERY hot and relevant rapper unless you KNOW u can. Aubrey is nice do not get me wrong, but he not gonna walk a brotha like Kung Fu Kenny like he did Meek. If u believe that...u just a go hard Drake fan. I fuck with both but Drake don't won't know smoke with Kendrick.
Drake doesn't want that to happen
Jordan Davis Drake is NOT scared of Kendrick. He cannot be stopped by any of his peers. It's gonna take Jay or Em or Ye or Nas etc to cut him down. Same for Cole and Kendrick
Briante Montgomery Nigga you act like Kendrick hasn't done the same thing you ignorant bitch
Idk why y'all act like Kendrick a career killer lmaooo.. What rapper has Kendrick killed in a rap battle I'll wait
fallenprodigy
out of the people kendrick has went at it with he's gotten the better of Drake(compare there subliminals, kendricks are better), jay electronica, big sean. Drake hasn't killed anybody but he's been bodied by, hov, pusha t, budden, common, and a maybe one or two others that i can't think of rn
fallenprodigy23 so, you're one of those ppl that pretended that Kendrick wasn't addressing Big Sean in The Heart pt. 4 & Humble.
Drake was my favorite rapper since 2011, until I discovered kendrick lmao
cribabyjay same lol. Once I heard swimming pools I then heard rigamortis... never looked back since then
lol you mean when Drake put him on, ok
Briante Montgomery lmao when? When I was a huge fan of drake I didn't hear anything abt Kendrick
first time I ever heard Kendrick on a song was when Drake put the "Buried Alive Interlude" on his sophomore record Take Care, released in 2011
sbcoolspidey he didn't make kendrick famous wtf, that year he dropped section.80 and his previous mixtapes were pretty good too
1. Kdot
2. Jcole
3. Drake
You can rearrange it how you want it. They're the top 3 in the game.
Top5 lol j.cole boring af, and tell me why he overrated
Alberto Lavín l
How's he overrated tho g?
Narek Duymalyan not Cole
No no no no no, drake my nigga but Big Krit and Big Sean come before him on that when we talking rappers right now, Drake the biggest pop artist out of them all yes but rapping no.
Somehow Drake takes an L for this (and so does Ak by association).
TheDragoonFactor and so do you for the fucking fun of it.
ALL publicity Is good publictity this deserve to be top comment lol
Facts
L
L
TheDragoonFactor drakes been takings L's since he took that bullet
Ima stay pushing drAKe
I don't think it will happen. Calling it from the year 2024.
Kendrick will NEVER stoop down to Drake's level! Kendrick is way above him lyrically, mentally, hell even visually! Drake is a pop star. Kendrick is a rap God period.
Joï P Hell if Drake & Lil Wayne did a Drake Vs Lil Wayne tour, i wanna see a Rap God Vs Rap God Tour (K.Dot Vs Eminem) shit’d be good af lmao!
King Joker yeen never lied! That shii would be so lit!🔥🔥🔥
Joï P drake is better with the slick metaphors and punchlines. Kendrick is just rapid fire rhymes, depends on what you like
Taylen Bachus who said anything about Pac?
Gill Okonkwo *Donald Trump Voice* Wrong...
Let's not forget joe bodied drake.
ALL publicity Is good publictity see
Joe bodied. Meek took a L. That nigga walk around with Ls.
May HamBeats meek wrote his shit drake didn't
May HamBeats May HamBeats but drake making hit records. And joe on a show that talks about drake everyday. Yea....joe bodied him 🙄
Stranded On Deathrow yeah bc there's evidence on that😂
"Most of y'all sharin bars like u got the bottom bunk in a two man cell"
The ovo plantation is gonna work overtime if They're about to go against Kendrick lmao
this aged like the finest of wines 😂
Drake automatically loses for having ghostwriters... like rich said, imagine if Leonardo didn't paint the Mona Lisa
First Last "that homie who painted the Mona Lisa"
Smoking on top 5s
Crazy how Cole was mentioned and Drake ended up getting the smoke
Y'all know drake don't want it with king Kendrick
it happened!!
Only took 10 years literally
"Kendrick Lamar is overrated"
Do y'all even know what the word "overrate" means?
-"have a higher opinion of (someone or something) than is deserved"
So all of you that claim Kendrick is overrated believe that the catalog of music that he's released, hasn't allowed him to decisively be named the best, or even the GOAT when it's all said and done?
Section.80?
GKMC?
TPAB???
DAMN.?
Even Overly Dedicated, you can't listen to all of these projects full length and not hold Kendrick to a higher pedestal above his peers.
All I see in the comments is people calling him overrated because of fans that ride him too much, and because his main competition is mediocre (WHAT ARE THESE REASONINGS). I guess you have to do more than drop back to back classics to call yourself the best.
Kung Fu Kenny would destroy Aubrey.
And did!!
Think about it this way...if Kendrick goes at Drake the way Joe Budden did it could hurt Drakes Career. Joe bodied drake but since Joe is a way smaller artist and not really mainstream people won't really care and just say"Drakes winning in life" Kendrick is mainstream and has the rapper attributes to go at an artist as big as Drake.
And you were correct in your assessment.
Bruh when Quan compared the Mona Lisa picture that man made the most sense I ever heard in my life
This is why tupac , nas , and biggie , Eminem and kdot,, are the best artist hip hip has ever seen..
Look at us coming back here years later
When Rich Homie Quan, Joe Budden and DJ Akademiks all laugh at the same time it sounds like those uncles at the cookout talking about the golden days
Kendrick = HIP HOP
drake = pop star
@the nameless king of dragons thats the point. When it comes to just rap, Kendrick is just the better rapper. I know it hurts a lot of Drake stans feelings but it's the truth
Kendrick Lamar says "Hi" the entire internet goes "Oh my god, was that about drake?!"
Section 80 and GKMC , TPAB, DAMN = 4 classics in a row
INTERESTING...
"This is hip hop you ain't write it don't record it" - Meek Mill
Drake leaned heavily on the weeknd for Take Care, after he lost him his consecutive projects changed dramatically and so did his style. Kanye leaned heavily on Kid Cudi for 808's and MBDTF after that we get yeezus and tlop.
i love drakes music, but i feel kendrick has something that most artists dont and he connects with the listener and in his interviews he really takes his work serious and has a true passion for it, i remember watching an interview and he said he could easily write a 100 bar song he knows would blow up but doesnt put it on the albums bc it doesnt feel/sound the way he wants it to. basically i have more respect for kendrick bc of how high quality his work is
Kendrick way better section 80 and GKMC is better thancany project drake has or WILL ever release
Kendrick would body drake🙄
Hmm sounds kinky. I'm in!
He already had.
Mulitple times.
Briante Montgomery L
KingOne Pinche meco
KingOne bruh shut the fuck up you sound so god damn stupid drake ain't fucking with Kendrick just get over it
How is kendrick overrated? He came out with control, bodied the bet cypher, got everybody hooked on lyrics, dropped an INSTANT classic, gkmc. Didnt over saturate the market by dropping hits every weekend. Waited two whole years and dropped another INSTANT CLASSIC, politcally charged TPAB. At a time where police brutallity was at its highest, perfomed we gone be alright jnfront of a bunch of white folk basically being the only artist to be a voice of our people. Waited two more years and dropped DAMN. And shook the whole world up with it. How is he not the greatest? How is he overrated? Before yall comment i want actual facts of how hes not the greatest, im waiting.
Can Meek Mill stop taking L's now?
He ruined drakes career
Everybody gon remember him as a artist with ghostwriters period.
Gabriel Hardson dead
Gabriel Hardson true
Gabriel Hardson he gets the last laugh watching kendrick and others tear drake apart now
Gabriel Hardson i said this 3 yrs ago .. Drake won the battle meel won the war
niggas are reachin he aint even mention drake at all you know how many artists have used ghostwriters
Dom776 True but if where talking about ghost writer we look at drake also kendrick >drake
Drake is known for having a ghostwriter, you fucktard.
And it also goes to every rapper who has 1.
Mainly aimed at Drake.
Dom776 get 2pac out of your dp. You're a disgrace to everyone who knows rap
stop it.. he was asked a question about rappers having ghostwriters.. hes talking about anyone who wants to be best and has ghostwriters cant be.. now have u heard kendrick say he believes drake has ghostwriters? no yall assuming hes going for drake because he fits criteria
lmao im a disgrace to everyone who knows rap because im not agreeing that kendrick is taking direct shot at drake? gtfoh oh and incase anyone gets it twisted kendrick is currently my fav rapper im not even into drake
Damn was a great album the people in the comment section calling it overrated probably never heard the album. They just mad because he's better than their favorite rapper.
Joe needs to do a reunion with this cast for this convo @joebuddentv
Akademiks got the gloves under the table in case Joe says something bad about drake
16:30 RHQ is weak at Joe Budden roasting Big Sean... then he quickly realized he being broadcasted and shut the hell up like the teacher caught him talking in class... 💀💀💀😂😂😂 knowing Big Sean would murder him on a track
2024 and no subtle shots
1. Producers get writing credits so just because someone has a writing credit doesnt mean they wrote words on the song
2. Recieving a song with a finished hook and adding your part is completely different than ghost writing
lmao what yall be talkin about
Regardless kendrick betterrrr
why does whenever someone states there view on another person it's automatically beef
y'all need to stop with that shit
Damn is Dopest Album Of The Year 🐐🔥 , RHQ Fell Off hard asf .
Kung-Fu Kenny Family kendrick is my favorite rapper but damn wasn't album of the year
Kung-Fu Kenny Family Kendrick all day
there weren't many good albums this year tho, maybe SATURATION or All Amerikkan Badass
Kung-Fu Kenny Family 4:44
SATURATION was the best album but won't get proper acclaim because BROCKHAMPTON is not a major act yet
Who’s here 4 years later?
Even better 6yrs later lol
Kendrick > Drake
K-Dot 87
Drake's Ghost Writer>Kendrick>Drake
Take Jaylor Did I once mention Kendrick? 🤔, hmm didn't think so
Take Jaylor lmao youuuz a stupid lil nigga
K-Dot 87 why does Drake rank 8th on Spotify and Kendrick ranks 28th for monthly listeners? 😂
Ricardo Garcia lmao nigga cause this lil bitch ass goen pop stupid nigga
This was the chilliest everyday struggle I've ever seen.
"I brought my tour to your city you my son there Nigga"
The Drake-Kendrick beef ended after that line guys,especially that Kendrick always gives Compton a shout-out.
200 writers...? You guys make me sick. The Drake hate is fucking played out.
Im just gonna say it how it is.
If this happens.
Drake is fucked.😐
EDIT: I like both Drake and Kendrick, but Drake WILL get bodied.
lol no never I like them both but when it comes to diis tracks drake will kill Kendrick look at what he did to meek mill almost ended his career
Lol no. Drakes bars are FIRE his flow is un comparable to anybody he is the best
Kendrick is a better lyricist by far but if there really was going to be beef then Kendrick would've initiated it on the heart part IV, ironically tip toeing around drakes name while saying that drake is doing the same thing
Mh he was talking about Sean there
Kendrick don't have to say Drake or Big Sean's name on any song until they say his name on a song. He already did that on Control. Now it's time for them to attack.
Lucas Johnstone yeah but if you're specially going to say "tip toeing around my name" then you better not do the same and say a name
Romy Taylor no, I'm saying Kendrick has already called all them out. I don't think he has anything to prove by saying their names now. He proved hes not scared to address people, now it's time for his "adversaries" to do the same
Romy Taylor No it would get him respect. Hip hop is a competitive artform, show some competence when someone calls you a lil bitch or calls you and alot of the big artists out on your own song. Not saying something just makes you look bad, especially when you still saying shit in interviews about the control verse years later.
Hate me all ya want but the only other rappers besides Drake and Cole I feel like can compete with Kendrick in his considered criteria if they possessed more acknowledgement and spotlight are
Big K.R.I.T
A$AP Rocky
Travis Scott
Logic
Joey Bada$$
Denzel Curry
I’m gonna start with logic first
I started with logic because he fits all the characteristics of a rapper who can hold their own against Kendrick he’s openly admitted to wanting to collab with Kendrick for the longest. Now because he loves his fans so much his music has watered down with every release since Bobby Tarantino because he’s run out of content to deliver to his fans up until no pressure when it was influenced by what everyone else desires. On top of that he has been deemed corny for some of the directions he took within his few creative processes.
Now Big K.R.I.T
I’ve heard kRIT on songs with Kendrick and Kendrick has never bested him K.R.I.T is undeniably one of the most underrated artist in hip hop history. If K.R.I.T had more mainstream appeal he’d be up there with the likes of Cole Drake & Kendrick.
Travis Scott
On a creative level Travis is the equivalent to someone such as a Kanye a Cudi or a Andre 3000. Travis often use to melodic flows and harmonizing techniques in his music and how consistent he is has put him well into the conversations that involve the three headed monster (Cole Drake Kendrick) but his name is rarely brought up in terms of lyricism (for obvious reasons) or his impact or effect on the culture of hip hop. A lot of Travis artwork is a psychedelic journey through his creative process and how innovative his creativity really is and I feel as if it’s often slept on within the rounds of the culture which is why he isn’t brought up as much as the big 3.
A$AP Rocky
A$AP is often arguably an underrated lyricist and rapper in terms of his placement amongst the new school criteria but we all know why this answer is short lived and obvious. It’s simply because he doesn’t drop as much. If Rocky were more consistent he would definitely be more considered into being placed in that conversation.
Dave East
Dave East is the most upsetting one in my opinion because as a New York bread lyricist and signed to one of the Legends (Nas) on top of his overall consistency to drop almost every year and never have watered down content I don’t really understand the reason why he’s underrated in terms of lyrical ability and delivery. Drake and J. Cole have both openly co signed Dave and have unreleased work with him. Dave held his own on tracks with Nas Jadakiss Styles P and many other notable legends. The only realistic reason I can identify within his criteria setback is his production selection and def jams lack of publishing. Hopefully this changes in time for people to finally consider him worthy enough of him being placed in the 5 headed monster conversation that is only limited to 3 right now.
Joey Bada$$
Joey Bada$$ has never dropped anything whack and has never disappointed on any of his bodies of work. It’s simply his consistency. Besides that Joey is up there with Travis & K.R.I.T as a very noticeable contender even appearing on songs that feature both Cole & Kendrick. (1Train by A$AP Rocky & Legendary (feat. J. Cole) in my opinion Joey did better than Cole on that track)
Now last but not least
Denzel Curry
Denzel is the most unorthodox when it comes to overall creativity aspect within his style of music. Everything from Denzels Cadence to his Production Selection is drastically different from any other lyricist I’ve heard in the new school maybe besides Danny Brown and Earl Sweatshirt. I feel like Denzel is a perfect candidate because of his creativity differences. I feel like you being able to posses a lyrical aspect on top of the craziest production choices makes you worthy to be in that conversation
Again this is my opinion. If you suggest otherwise please inform me and address your personal bias to I can have a different perception!
Not like us is trash. Drake won bar for bar. But Kendrick won the "drake not black enough" contest.
Cant be the best rapper and be scared to beef with Joe Budden
Drake Literally changed the Game ...Every rapper thats come Out Within the Last 5 years Both raps And sings ... If anything , Drake Put in TWICE the worrk ...
Kendrick is more like..... I wish a nigga would try me
Yes we agree. To be the best rapper you can't have a ghost rapper.
Drake could body the shit out of Kendrick and Kendrick could have a trash ass track but everyone would still say Kendrick won because nobody has the balls to say he took an L. People view Kendrick as this person who can't take a misstep and that he can do no wrong so it doesn't matter what Drake would do. Kendrick would be viewed as a winner due to bias.
I can dig rapping, but a rapper with a ghost writer? WTF happened?
This beef is non-existent. It's just a annoying squabble between the hottest artist in hip hop. Which is incredibly corny... get in the booth or STFU. Tired of rappers with these open interviews, twitter fingers, and sneak dissin. A pointless beef anyways. Neither side would win and I think they both know that
Darrel Be how would "neither side" not win?
Luis Torres bc both gets certified platinum albums
Lol Kendrick would end Drake. And I like Drake but he wouldn't have a chance.
Darrel Be dude... think... if Kendrick Lamar “won” he could possibly ruin drakes rap career and take his fans
Darrel got a point, people clown Meek buh meek still making money? Jus the internet culture will ridicule the loser.
The way I always looked at it is like this (rap records only): usain bolt ran 100m in 9.6 seconds, as he gets older let's say he uses drugs and runs 100m in 9.7 seconds... so he cheated once but he still has the record at 9.6 when he wasn't cheating. So to compare it to drake, drake used a ghostwriter for a few of his songs on iyrtitl, even tho they weren't the best rap records they were still good. Drake has songs like am-pm series, two birds, do not disturb, back to back where he proves he can rap. So I don't understand why he gets discredited if his best work was done by him?
DwntW0rry it's because it's a taint in his career. Writing your own shit in Hip-hop is really important and we dont know if
He did or didn't used them for this song or another one. I get your comment tho
i guess a taint in his career is the appropriate level of "punishment" but he's been totally dismissed as a rapper now, why is that? It was proven he had a writer for some tracks on his mixtape, and now it's assumed every track has a ghostwriter behind it... Are people being safe and assuming so, or are they trying to eliminate drake as a great for the sake of their favourite artist or what's going? It's like framing someone who has had a history of crimes, it's unfair to assume they did the crime they were framed for just cause they have a history. what happened to innocent till' proven guilty?
He's not a rapper
@Taylor Kreissler so I guess someone like Jay Z can be written off because he's had ghostwriters and we don't know what he has and hasn't written?
This is my list on whose new album I'd listen to
1. J Cole
2. Big Sean
3. Drake
4. Kendrick
Bruh..... I used to always think everyone was exaggerating when people called DJ Ak Drakeademics lol, but yo... it's real. I know this has to do with Drake; but Ak literally has a way of bringing Drake up in conversations every chance he gets, haha.
Kendrick
J Cole
Joey badass
Hopsin
Joyner
Disclaimer: Drake's my favorite artist, I'm a big fan of Kendrick, Kendrick Lamar is a better rapper than Drake
But yall are all small minded af. Drake's not even trying to be the "best rapper" alive. He's trying to be one of the best ARTISTS, by using his roots in hip-hop. Kendrick is trying to be the rapper, which is great but small minded compared to what Drake is trying to do and what he's accomplished. Drake has had a single on the billboard top 100 for the past 8 YEARS. Kendrick will never get to that level of success because of the lane he chose and wants to be in.
Yall comparisons and "Kendrick vs. Drake" shit is stupid
Guy On The Moon success doesn’t mean that your music is good or that your the best. Tupac and biggie never won a Grammy and yet they are still called the Goats. Kendrick is a far better artist and rapper than Drake and it’s not even close even though he hasn’t had Drakes success. “How much a dollar cost” is better than Drakes whole career.
Kendrick is a better rapper and a better artist then Drake GKMC and TPAB are better then all of drake's albums and mixtapes combined the only thing Drake is better then Kendrick is at being a hit maker by making pop songs
Kendrick lamar is way better than drake you can't even compare the two of them
I like how everyone in the comments is throwing around the word "artist", artist create their own products and if they borrow an idea they enhance it.
Drake is the greatest artist. Artist means more than just meaning writing the lyrics. Kendrick is the greatest rapper, but Drake is the greatest artist of our generation.
They shittin on Swae Lee but do they know that he helped write Beyonce's formation? He's such a unique artist by Himself. Don't act like anyone else could have pulled off the singing in Unforgettable in the unique way that Swae did it. I don't see anything that is normal in swae. I agree with a lot of what y'all said but y'all gonna realize Swae soon
you act as if formation is a good song.... And writing credits can go to someone just suggesting "replace grill with chill", it ain't like he was in the studio with her writing it on a notepad lmao
it doesn't matter, I can name you a literal thousand songs who had 5+ ghostwriters and are still shit. to have a writing skill makes you much more powerful as an artist in the long run (in my opinion, in a lot of people's opinions tbh) He legit came up with the whole Hook. He also is just not the same as anyone else. Like I don't know anyone he compares with, unless you're gonna be racist as fuck - which.... you might be?
They're going off on French, not Swae
Lila X they were getting at French Montana. Not swae but I understand what you are saying about swae, he's very talented. But in response to when you said you don't think anyone could've done what he did on unforgettable, imo I think the weeknd could've done that too
Who wanting for Cole the god to comeback
kendrick will destroy
The SB's with the dread lock shoe laces 😂😂✊🏽 s/o milli V
Stop comparing music to art..
Some of you have no idea how many painters don't paint their work..
Andy Warhol.. Takashi murakami etc.
The art world. When you get to a certain level you just show up with the ideas and your employees do the painting...
So if Drake calls himself the greatest and was caught using a ghostwriter it's all bad. But if someone like Eazy E used writers for a majority of their career and people call him a legend and one of the greatest it's no problem?🤔
IJ HDZ ghost writers were ghost back then. With that as public knowledge E is just a guy we loved... anyone else you wanna put up to the plate?
IJ HDZ and drake will be considered a legand... I'd be a bald face liar if I said otherwise
Omar White that makes it worse though. Drake didn't credit one writer on a song and people act like his whole careers been a lie, eazy was the face of nwa and had Cube and ren write most of his shit. And then when they split I think he had DJ yella help him out too.
This ghostwriter bullshit has to stop. There is a documentary where Drake has like 300 pages of stuff he has written himself. Also Eazy had Ice Cube write and still had a garbage flow. Drake has good voice usage and nice flow. Also a good ear for melodies. Thats why he is big
They were writers not ghost writers.
Kendrick is the Jon Jones of rap. Drake is more of a Brock Lesnar, good but with a tainted legacy. This would make Meek Mill Mark Hunt lol.
That1Dewd 😂😂
Lmao Jon jones has more tainted legacy then brock
Kendrick clearly talkin bout drake
I'm still getting used to this "Constructive Joe" I dont feel I can let my guard down
This rap beef needs to happen for the culture.
Kendrick bout to go Kung Fu Kenny on Drake...
Or just slap em real quick and make it look sexy
He's obviously dissing Drake he took two Ls from X and Drake (Meek exposed Drake and ruined his reputation as an artist and X just fueled the hate for Drake even more)
Extendo With the Nintendo it's true before meek how much did you hear he used ghostwriters?
KENDRICK LAMAR >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> drake.
So everybody gonna forget the fact that Rich Homie Quan just said 75% write and 30% don't?????????????????????
If you got a ghost writer you're not a rapper. You're a voice actor
If you really think Drake is not a real rapper go and listen IYRTITL tape.
Kendrick is a better rapper.
Drake is a better artist.
*Edit* : Yo when Joe said something about Cole chillin in NC, my cousin dead ass took a pic with Cole at the House of pancakes in Charlotte NC, and sent it to me😂
TwittyRaw *Performer, not artist.
I would say he’s a better entertainer not a better artist
Kendrick is a hella better artist
"How the game turn into the Drake show?" Draft Day , Drake @2:57
Drake will forever be stating nothing but FAX, Salute to Aubrey Graham
Joe Budden "Who da fuck else is he talkin' bout here?" got me rolllllin' man LMAO
Problem with drake is he claimed the best and still does. You can't have someone write for you and say that's all you
