Eh.....it's a huge difference between a "couple" like Kendrick, whom tbh if we keepin' it real hasn't really been on that in a longggg time, and the amount of times per song that Gunna does it. Not to mention, end of the day, the context is different. Kendrick isn't under fire for not "staying solid", or gettin' too close to (or crossing depending on who you talk to) the line of runnin' his mouth. Now me personally, I don't really care. It is what it is. But I'm also not gonna act like breh is some sort of innocent and was out here pumpin' out To Pimp A Butterfly or Mr Morale & The Big Steppers type content.
I'm curious as to what you would label Gunna if not a street rapper?
Just off the intro alone of his last CD (which is my shyt):
And it's the above type shyt in at least 1 verse per song throughout the CD so what is he? Whatever Durk is, I put him in like a couple of notches below. Them niccas sing and make it sound good, but they still talkin that shyt at the end of the day. Gunna just don't be mentioning names or referencing real-life situations at the end of the day (which is smart).
