Drake appeals to the lowest common denominator. A lot of these niggas are immature af and are casuals.

Because I'd rather listen to a song like Trophies during a triumphant moment in my life instead of a kendrick song about institutional racism and absentee fatherhood

Doesn't mean kenny music is bad but what is the time and place that you are actually in the mood to listen to it

Drake challenges himself enough musically to justify any claims for his artistry.

My issue has been his content. Drake has been writing about the same s*** for at least 8 years now (fake friends, hoes that upset him, fame being difficult, maybe a sub here and there). He hasn't grown as a writer at all and he barely challenges himself in terms of subject matter. And when he does try, like on March 14, there isn't a lot of depth or insight.

Think about Kendrick's growth from S80 to Mr. Morale, Jay from Reasonable Doubt to 4:44, Kanye from College Dropout to Donda, Q Tip from People's Instinctive to We Got It From Here, Andre from Southernplayalistic to his solo features, Earl from the Odd Future days to Some Rap Songs, etc. They barely sound like the same people.

We clown Push for rapping about selling coke on every album, but how is Drake growing like the interesting figures in rap that influenced him when he's still in IYRTITL mode 8 years later? I feel like it's the same clickbait articles every album cycle listing their favorite new spiteful Drake bars because everyone knows what his perspective is going to be.

Drake’s music is more relatable to the average person and is also more light-hearted and easy to digest. He also frequently collaborates with many other mainstream artists, so he naturally appeals to way more people.

Kendrick is a better technical rapper, collaborates with other mainstream artists less frequently (especially on his own projects), and seems to go out of his way to make music that isn’t similar to what’s already out (sonically and subject matter wise). Just based on the last two points, he’s not going to appeal to as many people. Also the topics he touches are heavy and thus aren’t easy to listen to when you’re just randomly riding in the car or at a function.

An example of this is like the other day, me and my girl were looking for something to watch while we ate. I found a trailer for a movie called Brother and checked it out. S*** was WAY too heavy and I turned it off when I saw where it was heading. She said good choice or something and we ended up watching a comedy. That first movie could’ve been better than what we watched, but sometimes you just don’t have the capacity to sit around consuming heavy content.

Drake’s music is much more easily consumable for the average person, so he’ll have all the records tied into chart success. But after their careers are up, Kendrick will be more critically acclaimed and people will say his music meant more to the culture, specifically because of his willingness to take risks musically and touch on important topics.
