May 15, 2022Y’all say Kendrick ain’t music to play outside or in front of hoes then say it ain’t weird

I get the argument about comparing eras but Drake was always that guy as far as his own era goes.
Best I Ever Had only failed to reach #1 because a generational smash hit (I Gotta Feeling) was #1 at the time and Best I Ever Had was a single from a free mixtape as an unsigned artist. Hotline Bling also only missed #1 because Abel released 2 remixes for The Hills while Drake sat and did nothing to boost his own song that week.
If we're talking hip-hop, Drake has always been #1 over all his peers since day #1. He's dominated in ways they never did and saw success they never saw till the streaming era became a thing.
Still, it doesn't mean you can't give him just due. There's a reason he's the most dominant artist in the streaming era. If doing what he does was easy, everyone would do it.
It's been 13 straighten years now of dominance. A never-before-seen thing in hip-hop history. Hate him or love him, you can't deny the run he's been on and is still on.
He’s definitely been dominating since about 2013, not taking that away. My point is just not to compare his numbers with MJs numbers or Beatles or anybody who peaked pre 2016. Because he’s the rare case where we saw him in both eras and there’s a big difference. He would’ve had several #1s like Ludacris, Wayne, Nelly etc. but he wouldn’t have the 10+ he has now cause no rapper could achieve that back then. NIP barely cracked the top 5 bro. That song was everywhere lol s*** changed for the better, you can argue. Tho albums wise I’d say new system has hurt album making process. Rap is feasting now tho so I ain’t complaining

Bro did you listen to the intro? Cry Together? Crown? The piano interludes? Lol Nobody in rap making music like that cmon lol sounds like a Radiohead rap album ffs my rock friends have never liked a rap album so much
All that s*** isn’t weird, it’s just ass bro
Kendrick should have dropped an album expanding on the sound of Die Hard, Father Time, Silent Hills, Mr Morale and the two last songs, and he should have kept all the annoying Baby Keem type bullshit and the unlistenable music
