Complex: Drake and Kendrick are the Jay-Z and Nas of this generation

[SNG]

I could see this. Only I think Kendrick could do a migos track justice since he has more diversity in flow compared to Nas.

 

[Djimonu]

Fair comparison.

Hence why people call J. Cole the Pac of this generation.

 

[boskey]

Nas on Ha wouldve been dope.

 

[BlackDroog]

Drake is more like the R. Kelly of his time. I look at him as an R&B artist with Hip Hop elements on his albums.

 

[vaudevillevillain]

fair analysis tbh

fukk no...

Jay & Nas are giants compared to these nikkas. but sometimes i wish we wouldn't compare.

 

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

Then Big Sean is this generation's Fabolous

 

[Djimonu]

No ones sayin they as great as Nas and Hov, theyre jus sayin in terms of artistic similarity thats their positions in the context of this era

 

[Mike Otherz]

i said this a while back. complex stealing my ideas.

 

[Izanami]

A reasonable comparison.

False on the "imagine kendrick on a migos record" though. As a nas stan I can admit commercial tracks aren't where he shines. Kendrick on the other hand can still lay down an enjoyable, dumbed down radio 16 on a commercial record.

C/S

And here is where the complex writer shows his true ignorance. Here is where the complex writer shows how much of closed minded individual he his. Kendrick (and Nas to a lower extent) have shown to have shine on bangers. Who had the anchor and most memorable verse on "Problems" a radio banger? Yep Kendrick. Went to the club the other weak and chicks was singing his verse word for word.

 

[Izanami]

NWTS really exemplifies how Drake isnt really ready for that crown. Or taking that mantle of being the next Jay-Z. It was his time to take it and he showed he would rather sing more than rap on his latest album.

 

[beck]

how the fukk can kendrick be the next NaS, when he didn't even let him down?

[MINT]

cole is probably the soulja oy of this generation

[AMcV'88]

didn't read it but i'm just glad to see someone else isn;t putting Cole in the Nas position.
a terrible, forced, clutching at straws comparison..and it partly came about because people were wanting a "Nas" to Drakes "Jay".
