He is the most experienced in battle rap between J. Cole and Kendrick. He is tapped in the battle rap culture in general.. man was hosting King of the Dot and URL battles.

I don't know how long his writer's block lasted but he himself admitted to having it. I'm just saying that's usually the main reason why most artists stay so long without dropping. It's not because they're using all that time crafting the album. More often than not, most of the time is spent not doing anything and when they eventually get to making the album they get to share with the world, it takes them a couple months tops to put the whole thing together.

Game development takes 5 to more years at time
Movies take 3-5 years at times and we got sequels to older movies coming out

Lupe teaches rap , makes unreleased and drops music

lol being active doesn't mean "I drop content so the greatdivine can argue online"

some of y'all dont even make 3 bowel movements a day you just stan artist to this crazy mandingo contest level like they represent you. They dont know you

you arent a record exec

Drake would ask why you got a thread about his child

y'all are weirdly obsessed with the fame then don't question the affect of that on your brain or those you worship

Idk just thinking about this more and the last 10 years there's clearly more going on behind the scenes than we know. Like Cole and Kendrick have had an on off relationship but I can see what Drake means when he said "is it real or not? If the beef is real then let it be real" in 2013 post Control. It came off overly sensitive to me initially but there is this definite trend of Kendrick throwing out jabs but when people bite back he just absolves responsibility and says an excuse.

Like after Control when pressed in interviews he says he respects their music and the fact that Drake and Cole are in different lanes to him. Then proceeds to sub both for 10 years with lyrics indicating that they're not real hip hop or that his strain of hip hop is more valid than the others. Purism essentially. Just comes off as mixed messaging. Do you have a problem or not? Do you respect our art as valid or not type s***. Like he can't make his mind up as a gatekeeper. Drake seems easy to control honestly, his biggest weakness is that he's sensitive and people can manipulate that. Cole doesn't have that issue.

But I respect how he is trying to light the genre back up with this.

Its easy to get numb to artist art if they just keep going and going and going pumping out to the mass common denominator even if they are a beyonce

You're silly trying to draw a comparison between making an album to making video games and movies. One of those things is not like the other. Any artist claiming they need 5 years to make an artist is a liar. They're either just lazy or uninspired.

spinning excuses lol when we said Drake dissed meg y'all had a lot of excuses til he posted Free Tory

Then there was finally silence from you it was nice

Go back to being a monk we appreciate your silence when you have nothing of value to say the same way drake taking a 5 year hiatus because his stomach would also be nice

But does that time have to be 5+ years? Reminder that Section.80, GKMC, TPAB and DAMN all dropped within a 6-year period.

Kendrick then took a 5-year break and returned with an album that was weaker than the weakest album out of the previous 4 I mentioned. Him taking his time did nothing to serve the music he eventually dropped.
