Kendrick sells because of his content as well.

This has always been true you jackass. It was true in 1988, 1996 and its true now. 1 star.

 

[Long Live The Kane]

Realistically, this has always prolly been the case...if we're talking a "lyrics vs. the field" thing far as all things that go into rapping, lyrically talented dudes without any of those other qualities have never really prospered in the game...you have to have some kind of stylistic flair to your craft

Bu bu bu Canibus, lyrical molecules, nobody wants to hear those scientific raps

 

[Billy Ocean]

LOL at threadstarter not realizing that's how it's always been in hip hop

So I dont see why cats get so ruffled, when people say cats like Joey Badass n J.cole aint there cup of tea


Talking about shyt like, naaah man you jus dont get what there spitting


Umm nikka I got ears, I get exactly what they saying, but if I aint feeling your overall flair, it is what it is


Thats why cats who can tie a marriage of both factors are super successfull. From the greats like Slick Rick, To Pac, To Big, To Nas , To Jay, To Drake, To Kendrick

I cant name 5 dudes with legitimate charisma in the last 5 or 6 years. The days of Busta, Biggie, Redman, ODB type mcs is long gone.
