Kendrick really do be OD with that s*** sometimes

Overly Dedicated

That RDCworld skit of Cole fans reacting to Like That had me dying

very accurate

Drake calls himself 6 God: everyone is supposed to fear him

Kendrick wears thorns and says he’s not your savior: everyone finds him corny

Cole still tryna get him a song with YB: everyone believed what they saw on IG

face it, they’re all washed

In the 12 year since Cole has rose to prominence the value of simply being a good, technically skilled rapper and lyricist has diminished greatly. Kendrick really honed his pop sensibilities and this has never been a problem with drake. J Cole just makes pretty traditional rap music, which, even if it’s good, gets you less and less mileage every day

drake brought back asskissing in rap. i hate it

The only guy who can save us now is Yeat unironically

No joke it’s all up to Carti rn

Very true... Nobody really cares about lyricism like that anymore unless you're in the top 1% of skill and actually have a story to tell

I'ma go hone my adlibs and baby cadences so I can join opium

Carti a GOAT but he's spawned a wave of dudes that think they can emulate his style and fail horribly doing it

Sexxy Red got us don’t even trip

Put 'em on the news or somethin'

Put 'em on the news

OH YOU LIKE DAT

I wish I could've been in the studio with them while they were making this magic

She really is the best female rapper fr

Female Chief Keef fr

Agreed lol. It's just funny to me because while I don't think he has to be friends or friendly with Drake and Cole, him being upset is like an NBA player who sits out an entire season because of personal reasons getting upset that 2 of his peers, who are also considered some of the best players in the game, played a full season and put up some of the biggest numbers and had some of the best games.

Your response to that isn't to be upset at those 2 niggas. If you hated seeing that then simply return and play the game again (in this case, get to dropping music again) to prove why you're better or just as good. Cole getting ranked as highly as he is today isn't because he went at anybody. It's because he made the choice to remain active and to change the narrative around his name one verse/album at a time and it's actually working.

I truly do believe that all Cole and Drake want (or at least, wanted) was to see Kendrick active again because they know how important he is to the game.

Carti's run rn is truly amazing to witness.

she really the future of rap you right

Imagine going back 30 years ago and telling everyone the savior of the rap game would be a game who doesn't spit a single coherent lyric

Carti really the GOAT

narcist

Please, can we talk about how at the start of the decade, some people legit thought DaBaby, Lil Baby and Megan Thee Stallion were gonna be the ones who ran rap this decade?

Sexyy reminds me of Carti a lot in that she’s successful bc she just sees thru the music and goes after the core, the essence, the ‘vibe’ that people want in a certain type of music (pregame bangers / s*** for baddies to get ready to). These other female rappers are trying to outdo eachother by rapping their asses off and it’s just like… we’re off that. Sexyy has good taste in producers, an appreciation for a tradition of inspired hype music, and goes for the essence first. Sexyy moreso pays tribute to the tradition of hype music whereas I think Carti is a driving force in progressing it.

that’s because they were gonna be
