Honestly didn't really dig Kendrick's new album, but everyone and their brother hyping it like it's a classic. It's just not music I could sit down and vibe to, I'm sorry. That being said, it was still decent, and Kendrick >>>>> Drake

In hip hop you dont have to be a thug to be an MC. Drizzy got bars and so does Kendrick but I'm just pointing out how people hype that dude up like he was the second coming of B.I.G.
Also people act like hip hop is dumb down or something like its suddenly a crime to have fun and rap at the same time.
Ish dont have to be serious all the time about gangs, drug dealing, or splitting *****s wigs open to the white meat.
Drizzy may get clowned on for being emotional or a nerd but the dude works hard and gots bars.
Drizzy has sustained his success for more than half a decade while J. Cole, Kendrick, Meek Mill, and ASAP have fallen off already.
People dont realize how hard it is to make it in the music biz let alone freakin sustain your success after your first big commercial album.

Cole just released Forest Hills Drive, easily his best major album yet, and is about to go platinum, his highest selling album so far. Kendrick just released one of the most critically acclaimed albums in a long time, though I disagree with critics on it, and went Gold easily.
Kendrick and Cole are 2 mainstream artists doing it right. Drake isn't Wayne level of terrible, but lets not get it twisted. Drake isn't some guy resurrecting the essence of real hip hop in any way.
Meek Mill and ASAP are crap anyway. I'll take Schoolboy Q, Tyler, Joey Badass, Earl Sweatshirt, Yelawolf, Big KRIT, **** even Macklemore over those lame ****s any day.

What Drake is doing relatively is easy. It is harder for someone like Lupe, J-Cole and Kendrick, when the material they bring are from a social consciousness view point. Imagine taking something realistic, making it rhyme sensible and put it on beat. Drake is trying to make money, while Kendrick is using the medium to voice his pain like Pac. Don't get me wrong, in the end, they all still making money, but one lyrics will be immortalized and one will eventually fade away like Pac and Biggy. I am a learning person, so I maybe be bias, when I watch, read or listen to anything, I should be learning something, Drake's music doesn't do that for me.
