Doesn't matter in Art even if there is no definitive answer, can be just among the artists in question themselves or public opinion nor is there any harm in doing so anyways so I don't get whats the issue here

Trust me, I get what you're saying, competition doesn't always mean there has to be definite winner you dork. That's the reason we all have different end of the year lists.

Who scored the most touchdowns inst subjective

Who has the best defensive isn't subjective

Who had the best verse in a song is 100% subjective b

Y'all gotta stop assuming/resorting to calling people a cac/white when they post something you don't agree with

Niggas brains really can't comprehend this concept lmao

It's an outdated concept b

no it aint but you can think that b

When there were only 4 spots on the radio, I get being competitive, now it's a waste of energy b just focus on yourself and making the best art you can make b

Comparison is the killer of joy b

but one flow/beat selection may be more appealing to one person's ear than it is to another person's ear

Let's be honest here, comparison is only the killer of joy when you're on the losing side of the comparison.

You can use that either to fuel yourself to be better, or accept defeat.

Like I said above. There doesn't have to be a definite winner for it to be competitive. That's why we all get together at the end of the year and discuss our end of the year lists.

The mindset gets pushed simply because it’s entertaining to the fans, not because it actually pushes hip hop artists to be better than the next one.

Not just year end lists lmao we argue about every little goddamn detail every day 365 days a year

A fuming white spotted

If theres no winner in being competitive, why are you being competitive b

Nvm then

Exactly lol

i’m a nigga from Queens...

Because it pushes you to be better...? why is this concept so hard for you to understand

This isn't a zero sum game of winner and losers. Competitions makes us all better.

I'd even argue competition has done more harm than good for music b

Never heard of a nigga being killed for wanting to collaborate b

You either win or you learn, there ain't no such thing as losing. Competition is good.

Without competition there's no drive to push yourself to the limit

Bow And Arrow is a Kendrick stan so it surprises me that he doesn't understand how Kendrick's competitive mindset was key to his success
