NBA rookies “One Gotta Go” | Kendrick vs. Drake vs. J. Cole, Kendrick picked unanimously

[Womb Raider]

The sound of GKMC was modern is what I mean, It wasn’t different for those times

DAMN doesn't sound like anything that came out

I agree that it was modern, but it wasn’t as commercial as DAMN.

 

[Formerly Black Trash]

I really don’t see how ppl listen to Drakes non rapping stuff

It’s shytty low quality rnb

 

[EBK String]

To pimp a butterfly and damn were both try hard deep shyt. GKMC is a classic but he hasnt released anything that resonated with the streets and youth since except a few singles.

I agree I’m just saying to an average rap listener GKMC was more what they were used to, it’s an easier listen

DAMN was sonically way more creative than GKMC, that’s what I like about Kendrick tho, he does different stuff

GKMC was his most accessible project, came out late 2012 and bled into 2013, i was in like 7th-8th grade during that time and Kendrick was HUGE to everyone

TPAB was too different for mainstream listeners, it had acclaim and real fans loved it but the casuals ain’t rock with it

Edit: and Cole ain’t become a phenom til FHD came out, EVERYONE hopped on that bandwagon and he’s been going strong since

nah the bangwagon started after friday night lights

 

[Black_Panther_JS]

nah the bangwagon started after friday night lights

That was light tho, after FHD people who I never even heard mention Cole was on that “J. Cole is too smart for people” “he’s the best rapper ever” wave

He became apart of that “he talks about real life and is so deep” crowd

 

[TruDatz]

Kendrick got tracks with Taylor swift, Rihanna U2

They really like to conveniently forget this. Add Imagine Dragons, Sia lool

Kendrick be like Flo Rida to yt ppl

 

[Black Lightning]

Grown ass men in here getting upset about someone else's opinion.

 

[TruDatz]

Imagine using hip-hop opinions from NBA rookies to justify who you listen to

Right cuz we should care about the opinion of old white ppl on the Pulitizer committee instead

None of those publications aren’t qualified to review music for me so.

Nah idk who’s that “we” your referring to but i’d expect them to form their own regardless of white validation.
