IS KENDRICK BIGGER THAN DRAKE RIGHT NOW

[CrimsonTider]

apparently and no role modelz are pretty made for radio/singing out loud in the club. they're not typical party tracks, but they work. and when has it ever been par for the course for rappers to do arena tours? hell, even jay, snoop. dre had to have all star studded lineups to first do arena tours. kendrick not having done an arena tour means nothing until he does one and fails. and my social circle is all over this country, kendrick and drake >>> cole in terms of popularity with them.

What about Wet Dreamz.

My larger point is that Kendrick sure "star" power that you are claiming he has should take the records he put out to hits.

I, King Kunta, Alright all flopped when sent for public consumption.

Kendrick is not Cole level.

Kendrick is being forced to the top the tier. Hiphop fans aren't elevating him there. Dude got a fukking Taylor swift colab and a Adele shoutout.

 

[be back in a bit]

I swear you ADD muh-fukkas need a rapper to be putting out a new mixtape every week and doing interviews every day for them to be considered "big" or "relevant". Chill. Views is coming.

 

[OnlyInCalifornia]

I would say they are on par with each other right now but Drake is Jay-z level and Kendrick is Nas.

Drake still outsells Kendrick and still is a more popular artist generally speaking.

Kendrick getting that nice bump right now though, as he should.

People have star power and miss with singles...Beyoncé had success with 4 but it was clearly no where near bday or Beyoncé

I haven't met anyone who listens to hip hop that feels Kendrick is not in the top of the pack. Y'all can keep saying that but it ain't adding up, no, he's not drake, but to act like Cole is light years above Kendrick is crazy.

And what do shoutouts have to do with anything? This ain't 1996, rappers aren't some clandestine group of artists that no one else knows about or listens to

Cole is not light years ahead of him he's just more popular.

you have to concede that Kendrick is getting the push to the forefront like nobody else.

Dont compare Bey situation to Kendrick. That album leaked months before the release date

Even with that, she had a sold out arena tour and hits

 

[Piff Perkins]

Nah nikka is not even bigger than cole

I would say third but I see him tied with Sean(who has great single numbers to add with a plat album)

Kendrick is bigger than Cole. Yea Cole sold out MSG but Kendrick has more mainstream and global clout. Cole only matters in the US. Drake and Kendrick are big outside the US.

Cole has a really insular popularity which makes it hard for him to do the type of festivals or awards shows Kendrick does.

maybe your right in WW sales I have not checked neither's popularity outside.

But arent we just talkin about popularity in the US not the world.


@bolded what makes you come to that conclusion?

 

[Orange cream shake]

So we gonna act like Kendrick didn't get that Taylor swift stimulus package? I don't know dudes music besides what comes on tv but the way y'all talk about him I would think he is mediocre at best.

 

[Ms. Elaine]

He'd have to out sell him first. TPAB barely sold half in one week what Drake's throwaway mixtape sold in 3 days.

So, no.



I can't wait to buy my 10 copies of Views.

 

[LEEeveryday]

You have to define bigger. I think Kendrick is more respected. In a controlled climate, I think that's what artist should strive for.

 

[AirLyndon23]

Yes He Is.

KING KENDRICK

 

[Ms. Elaine]

Kendrick has the respect of all of his peers, as well as legends within the genre and the larger black musical community.


Quentin Miller doesn't even respect Drake...

Does he though? Didn't those same "peers" choose Taylor Swift's shytty pop album over his "masterpiece".

People say they like Kendrick but they don't really fukk him though. Actions speak louder than words.

 

[RandomDudeOnColi]

No way in hell. Maybe in 2012 he was but right now he is not bigger then Drake.

 

[Ms. Elaine]

No way in hell. Kendrick is at 3rd place.

Not even. I think he might rank lower than Future these days.

 

[West Coast Avenger]

Yes he is....and that makes the fans of Drake so envious....
