Schoolboy Q has had better singles (and single success) than Kendrick, IMO

Schoolboy has more obvious radio friendly singles no shyt. But ask is anyone listening to Brick Face right now?

Q has had a pretty successful single run, on that I agree. Over Kendrick? Gotta look at actual numbers to be sure but I think KDot got him.

at least you put "in your opinion" in the title.

Seems more like Q has focused more on radio than Kendrick, and thus got beats/hooks meant for radio. Kendrick only dabbled in that for one album, and got three dope singles (Swimming Pools, Poetic Justice, Backseat Freestyle).

Q said himself they made him do Overtime, and I'd imagine that's not the only pre-packaged single he has had. Whereas Kendrick didn't have anything like that on TPAB.

Still think Alright should have done better on radio, and they should have edited the chorus to make it flow better (replace nikka with brotha/sista).

Look, even if you hate Kendrick you can't deny the success that bdkmv, backseat freestyle, poetic justice, and swimming pools were.
Those songs are entangled in the memories/experiences of an entire generation of youth.

GKMC had a few hits. I don't think Kendrick cared at all for singles with TPAB.
