Please go back to sitting in the corner until you can produce some dope bars rapped by kendrick

I didn't ask you to cop pleas, but thank you for proving my point anyway. You goofy nikkas get furious whenever I ask you to show and prove that kendrick is as dope as yall say he is
Drake just dropped ANOTHER project with lines that are instantly more memorable and yet Kendrick is getting a Pulitzer. This shyt is insulting.

:mjlol:

This is the exact response I expected. You're not intelligent or old enough to understand and you couldn't refute a word. Real music comes from the soul and deals with struggle, not punchlines that age like milk. How many posts do you have in here? You cant do simple math to see you lost already? Real music prevails and you'll continue crying in this thread going "but but but bars tho!". You're dismissed child.
Comes from the soul?

“Would you love me if the Ferrari don’t start?”

Word?

Bumping this thread is really low quality posting. If Drake is as good as you profress, the music will speak for itself.

This is embarrassing even for you Napolean. Expecting drake to win a Pulitzer just because you’re gassed off your daddy’s new album is insane.

I agree that if anything he shoulda won it for TPAB or GKMC, but as hip-hop fans we should prolly just be happy that this happened.

Lemme say that I like Drake’s music a lot. On an average month I listen to more drake than kendrick. But Drake generally makes music about the man he sees in the mirror, some women that man is fukking, and how said man in the mirror feels about himself and those women.

Kendrick generally raps more about his environment and world around him. That type of content is more likely to win an award like the Pulitzer.

Stop being a bytch about it ya skirt is showing

What the fukk did he win a Pulitzer for then?!?!
DAMN., by Kendrick Lamar

Recording released on April 14, 2017, a virtuosic song collection unified by its vernacular authenticity and rhythmic dynamism that offers affecting vignettes capturing the complexity of modern African-American life.

maybe drake will win it next year for being a deadbeat dad that raps about how his rollie not a stopwatch

this is what you dumb dumb drake stans dont understand

most people dont give a fukk about corny and forced punchlines and bars

Drake has a very conversational style of lyricism that lends itself to very mundane writing that isn't poetic and is very surface level. He's about as good of a writer as John Grisham is. Meaning, not good. Stale, and very popular because it's easy to digest. You aren't going to get evocative lyricism (Nas) or witty lines (Hov) or elaborate storytelling (Kendrick). You're going to get some millennial truisms that rhyme well.

There are some great songs on Scorpion but I'm not sure any are great due to the lyrics or "quotables." The last track on side A comes to mind though. I like the segment that begins with "I know a girl who went to Rome..." for instance. But even that, while interesting, doesn't reach beyond a surface level. Like Grisham, Drake is unable to bring CHARACTERS to life, or present people as more than a surface 2D painting for his point. Think about...Shorty Doo Wop from One Love, or Sasha Thumper from Art Of Storytelling. Or Keisha from Keisha's Song. Think about the way each person came alive through rhymes. The way they look, the way they live, the way they think, their hopes, dreams, anecdotes, etc. Think about the way GKMC is designed entirely around bringing multiple people to light and life. And then think about the way Drake attempts this, especially with women in his songs.

John Grisham sales a lot of books. But he'll never win a Pulitzer. And neither will Drake.
