For Drake's next album, he has to work on actually putting a pen to a pad to write.
Yeah. Anyone who criticizes a media darling, is a caccacs/wannabe cacs
MaD!
Hell, you could argue fukking Gucci Mane and the Migos have more real "pro-black" empowerment songs than Kendrick but I won't let ya'll have that just yet...
Some of ya'll get wrapped up in this jazz "protest music" vibe instead of really saluting artists talking about real shyt in ways that their peers can't even imitate.
Kendrick's greatest strength is his songwriting and forming concepts. That nikka knows how to craft albums. His ideas are outside the box, and an exceptional storyteller. That's the main reason he's ahead of his peers.
But it's true that he's lacking in quotables and bars that make you go "run dat back
", this really shows in his feature appearances, which outside of a few notable ones he's usually 
on. On a surface level his verses ain't adavanced like a Hov or Lu with the wordplay and extended metaphors/punchlines but he's got a diverse flow, decent rhyme patterns that he can switch up, and he's personable in his music.
Funny enough, out of the three albums, I feel that "To Pimp A Butterfly" was his weakest effort as a rapper (flow, delivery, rhymes, all around performance-wise) but arguably his best effort as a songwriter (GKMC gets the edge from me).

Ughh thats what separates him from the pack, his damn writing,only lupe is up there with him
its like you flagrantly asking dude to dumb down his shiit
you mean writing as in writing catchy pop songs??
Kendrick may have had a greater commercial impact than Lupe...Lupe is on another level of writing ....

I think this tweet sums up what you're trying to say

He really isn't though.
A lot of basic shyt that Lupe does gets hyped up to disproportionate levels.
Dude has many more average displays of lyricism than exceptional ones.
I mean I remember Lupe stans saying Lasers had "exceptional lyricism" when
a lot of it was remarkably basic with the exception of a few tracks.
I don't buy into this myth that Lupe is levels above Kendrick Lamar or other equally impressive
rappers like Elzhi or Skyzoo. I'd suggest you guys listen to more Hip-Hop before you crown
Lupe as the end all, be all of lyricism and writing.
