Will anyone reach Kendrick Lamar's acclaim?

[bigbadbossup2012]

If a fake positive rapper gets the same level of push behind them from a major,yes they will be critically acclaimed by CACs and media that get their slice of the budget.
It's funny his buzz on the street is non existent which means he's not really being felt.

Meanwhile a bunch of rappers throughout history whom didnt remotely get his level of push,were much hotter than him in black communities in particular

I've seen everyone put Drake as "the guy" for this generation, but he doesn't get nearly the respect from people within the industry that Kendrick does.

you said acclaim

i took as meaning respect as an artist

drake doesn't get half the acclaim as kendrick does from magazines and blogs

we all love the music but he doesn't get the acclaim as a true artist like people portray kendrick

personally i thought tpab was aiiiiiight

i would prefer an instrumental version of the album more than with him on it

i play if you're reading this its too late more than anything now

never thought i'd see the day but im more anticipating drakes next shyt than kendricks

and ive been following both of them since before their debut albums

was a way bigger fan of kendrick in the beginning

and im in now way a drake stan but he's making better music right now

but things change

After Drake hes the most popular rapper right now



Taylor Swift is currently the Queen of mainstream music and Tatum is like Jesus to some women.

Dude might pass Drake as most popular rapper on earth soon.

What's exactly wrong with being a positive rapper?

 

[Flash Thunderton]

he's the guy this generation



ask in 5 years

We'll see who still around a decade from now.

Good post.

If you play IYRTITL a lot, I question your taste in music. That project was repetitive and average af. Just not a good project.

There's no argument for Drake making better music than Kemdrick right now, but I appreciate Your honesty and to each theorist own.

i dont listen to the whole thing all the way through but energy, know yourself, madonna, 6 god, 6 pm in new york, and how about now are in heavy rotation more than tracks off tpab

i think kendrick is a better artist than drake, tpab just didnt hit me... yet

took me like 6 months to appreciate 7 days of funk. one day a song randomly played and i got it

in a year i could hate iyrtitl and love tpab but at the moment thats how i feel

but musically im liking drake now

he's in a zone making, admittedly repetitive, but infectious music

and his hooks are easily the best in the game

thats a lot of his appeal

pretty much all the songs i mentioned have catchy lines or a hook that makes the song

i can play almost that whole mixtape at a party

kendrick is by far a better rapper than drake though

im just literally talking about the music as a whole

i appreciate kendrick trying to put substance into his music and love the jazz off tpab but not too many songs have replay value beyond listening a few times

like i said though things change and this is just my opinion right now

He's not more popular than Cole. The stats don't back that up at all.

Yes, all rappers should aspire to be the cac's universal black pet to have his level of acclaim.



The fact that KL has widespread white acceptance isn't something to celebrate. They peep his low key koonish tendencies and that's why they love him.

I wish your bans were permanent.

I'll remember that in Flash Season 2 thread when I don't dap/rep any of your posts

A decade from now, Kendrick will still be a rapper - nothing more, nothing less. Drake will be cementing his mogul status, trying to secure that first billion.
