I like Common's reason behind Kendrick. He is a type of artist that would have relevant messages no matter the hip hop era and would actually do well in the 80's to present day. A modern 2PAC, Nas, Jay Z and Eminem combined.
@kayingayle3788 Kendrick already has countless videos of looking up to Hov and obviously on Kendrick's braggadocious tracks he channels this version of Hov. Rap techniques and insane lyricism he channels Eminem Down to earth, introspective voice of the people he channels Nas and as we all know 2PAC
@@BlowTorchDrizy1 I completely see the similarities from nas and em in kendrick. on the topic of jay z, you are right that he's someone kendrick looks up to, but to this day, it's something i've never understood. it has always been odd to me that jay is kendrick's role model, rather than nas. but, to be fair, maybe it's my bias against jay why im not inclined to identify the jay trait in him. when i reflect with a clear mind on songs like "B****, I'm in the Club" , "Rigamortus", and "The Recipe", i definitely see the Jay influence that you speak of though
@kayingayle3788 every Kendrick project from his mixtape days to his last album has Jay's name or lyrics in it. Kendrick is like Nas but able to make hits and hit albums like Jay. Like Gkmc someone would call it the illmatic of this generation but it's the longest charting hip hop album of all time
Kdot ain’t got bars like the people you mentioned Nas,hov & Eminem are known for their bars and output Don’t ever put kdot with those big players ever again
Kendrick's song Sing About will CRUSH anything in Drake's catalog. Very political also. I'm riding with Kendrick all day. My decision has nothing to do with Not like us.
@@NavAK_86 Again, either/or, 8AM in Charlotte is a great example of Drake's rapping ability and pen but I don't think him and Kendrick is a particularly close battle.
Yeah as a rapper Kendrick because of his lyricism, intricate rhymes, metaphors alone puts him ahead as a pure rapper. But as an overall artist it has to be Drake only because of the global appeal, consistency, commercial success and doing crossovers to different genres effortlessly with chart dominance.
I like how Yelawolf didn’t even have to hear the tracks to know the battle and comparison was lunacy. I knew Kendrick would win hands down. They both were in the same XXL Cypher and did great. Brothers respect each other.
Kendrick Lamar. ..There’s no debate. Kendrick is authentic to rap, to culture, to his city. And to the West Coast. His live performances are 🔥. He’s a true lyricist. For those of us who grew up in raps Golden Era, we appreciate Kendrick because he reminds us of that time. Then there’s Drake. The spoiled brat misfit. Jumping from hood to hood because the one he came from is actually a Toronto suburb. And even they probably don’t claim him. A fake tough guy who moves like a needy female. We should thank Kendrick for giving Drake the lyrical ass whooping he deserved.💐💐
Kendrick just off the fact he writes his own lyrics. Drake is a good artist but speaking for myself, Dot is absolutely a genius when it comes down to crafting his music
I'm Nigerian and the first time heard Kendrick's Overly Dedicated mixtape as a University student, i knew that he's going places. It is a disgrace even mentioning Kendrick alongside that popstar. Kendrick all week and thrice on weekends.
4:04 Stephan a smith Kendrick does not put out as much, he’s not on social media, you don’t see him at clubs, you don’t see him with woman, there’s nothing really for people to talk about him except make up rumors,doesn’t flaunt money or jewlary/cars, keeps to himself and doesn’t feel the need to respond to things Drake is just more visible, he’s at the party’s, flaunts his “success” jewelry cars, woman ect… materialistic mentality is what seems important to him and that can skew your perception on some things. Drake has some questionable decisions he made in the past. Did I miss anything else? he responds to things that I don’t think he needs to respond too These two just live a completely different life and they rap about different things.
@@Penguin1400sure buddy, the weekend wrote almost half the take care album and no telling how much he actually didn’t write, plus daylit wrote back to back. Drake a karaoke king
Nahh not true that’s why yall say Kendrick. Drake just got that stuff and people don’t like Drake for many reasons and that’s cool but bro is diverse and top of the charts and that’s all there is to it.
@ what people? And on top of what? Ik a lot of ppl no matter the numbers never had him #1, and I never will. Most artists just happy they made it and care about their art. Sure it’s competitive but I don’t think anyone’s just coming at him because he’s on top lol. Kendrick laid out the reasons why he dislikes him. He sneak disses a lot of other ppl as well.
As a drake fan i prefer his music but its impossible to put drake over dot after that battle. You could already argue dot has the better catalog. The battle made it even tougher
If we were comparing discogs I don’t think it was ever a discussion really. Drake hasn’t put out anything on Kendrick’s level after If you’re reading this, which is imo his best record. He’s been flooding his catalog with filler garbage for half a decade
The thing with this debate is that Drake is more appealling to the general public because of the type of Artist he is, but if we are basing the debate off pure skill & craft, powerful lyrics, relatability, mindful thinking, Kendrick will always win by a landslide Although I don’t rock with Drake I can agree with Stephen, as much as people come at Drake, he is infact still standing
Stephen A. Not having the critical thinking skills to ponder why it's not safe to go after Kendrick, but people feel comfy going at drake, is so on brand.
@Tweakkkkkk But who gets smack in all that cold war?!😂😂 sometimes you gotta shut up and let your aura speak for itself,everyone looks at Lupe like a bitter old head.
@@nkosinathigasa1312 na he ain't a bitter old head. It's just that people love kendrick too much. I love kendrick too but lyrically Lupe is better. But dot an overall better artist
@Tweakkkkkk just cause someone is more layered doesn't make them better,that's what casuals usually say. Pac and Nas are the most direct rappers ever,but people still consider them GOATS. Kendrick is a better rapper than Lupe,he's much more rounded.
I already said that. Kdot is much more rounded but lyrically he ain't touching Lupe. If you put emotions aside you will see what I'm talking about here
I’ve loved Drake growing up but Drake music is simply meant to be enjoyed. Kendrick’s music has a real message. Drake entertains, Kendrick teaches. One is a clown, one is a scholar. Now tell me what one is more important to society?
Stephen when you find someone that you're confident to beat you jump on him! That's why people come at Drake! Kendrick Lamar Pulitzer prize old school Gemini you have to think twice before coming at him😂
I think Kendrick is more for introspection and Drake is about living life to the fullest. I can honestly replay Drake more than Kendrick but they’re both great artists in their own right.
As more of a Kendrick fan Drake has stayed on top for a while he has literally held rap down for about 20 years you can say otherwise but he’s the hitmaker of rap music.
Man i hate how they drag their answers (when it's Iiterally straight forward) and they have to decide on the basis of "who invited me for coffee or not" like bro
People coming at you doesn't necessarily mean you shit. It could be they not scared to disrespect you, cos they know you ain't shit. If you that guy, folks know not to play around. They know to move correctly when around you & even in your absence.
In this beef the only song i like its euphoria,I am kdot fan for long Times,he is m'y favor rappeur ,After him i love j cole,Eminem,21 Savage and Kanye
Drake got waaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy more songs i like than Kendrick. Kendrick has better skills and more creative but i dont find myself riding in the car bumpin his music. Drake for me.
Alot of people would think Kendrick is the new Pac but it's really Drake because everybody hate on him. And he ain't try to be Pac, he tried to be Jay Z trying to make Rihanna his Beyonce. So clearly Drake is The Big Dog of the game.

Not even close…. Cuz Jay & Nas are both for & of the Culture…. One of these that’s on topic (Dot & Drake) are not.
