    Kendrick, because his music is the poster child/soundtrack for the current black lives matter movement , thats power to me.

    don't let complex propaganda agenda make you think otherwise.

    His ? ain't no damn representation of BLM...? did a whole track basically saying "but what about Black on Black crime?"

    ? have you ever listened to dead prez?

    This is basically a debate over pop vs the culture. Kendrick represents the culture while Drake is the pop rap icon. If pop appeal record sales and acclaim are more important to you your going to choose Drake. If you are deep into the underground and not really into the mainstream, but more organic sounds Kendrick Will be your choice.

    Lmao Stop bruh. Kendrick got pop songs with taylor ? swift.

    You acting like Drake ain't got that hoe on speed dial

    So what, she asked him to feature on the song. Drake is still more of a pop rapper. You will never hear Drake make a lyric today about current times or whats going on. He wont even make a somewhat radical statement. Dude is strictly about that paper. He doesn't want to risk loosing that. Kendrick represents the semi conscious rapper who gets popular in the mainstream every couple of years. Yes he is mainstream, but how much of his sound is he really compromising. Example Pac
    Kanye West
    Lupe
    Kendrick + (maybe)Cole

    Drizzy put out 2 albums.. was featured on a bunch of songs that he made a hit. Dropped a handful of songs that ate up the charts. How did he not win this year?!

    Ya'll know the IC wouldn't let Drake win anything up against Lord Kendrick.

    The real answer is Super Future.

    I have to roll with Kendrick.

    I don't give a ? about record sales.Tickle me Elmo could come out with a Rap album and outsell Drake. And of course, you're going to get less record sales when you make a black centered album, but the white critics still gave him props because it was a dope album. You can't hate on great music.

    Yeah, I know the Grammys is supposed to be the mainstream "they don't know anything about real Hip-Hop" award show. But compared to the other albums released in 2015, the Grammy's got it right. It's damn if you do and damn if you don't situation with the Grammys. If your favorite rapper is Mr. ? a Grammy and Mr. ? a Grammy got nominated, these hyprocrites would be given him props for doing so.

    And you have to give Kendrick props for being one nomination away from tieing Micheal Jackson. I don't see Drake doing that and probably never will because you get the same ol ? from him. With each Kendrick project, he's always stepped his game up and tried something new - Like Micheal Jackson.

    TPAB was a great album and was very fitting for all the social problems going on in Black America. I don't see protesters chanting hot line bling lyrics and doing cha-cha dances in front of police. Don't get me wrong, I understand everybody wants to chill and party too, but I have more respect for the rapper that can kick some real ? and make me bob my head, reflect and think at the same time.

    looool

    Maybe so, if they had a lame dance contest. LOL! But yeah, the stuff Kendrick spit would be too complicated for most people and would go over people's head. With today's style of hip-hop Drake could mumble three words and people would still give him the W.

    To be honest, I hope they don't have a real rap beef because Drake would get the W for being "Drake" and not for his lyrical content. It would be like Nas vs. Jay-Z all over again. Nas killed Jay, but everyone was still riding Jay-Z's ? for being "Jay-Z."

    Exactly why the Reason is the absolutely worst place to discuss anything hip hop...

    You can't be a fan of a artist music without being called a dickrider or stan...unless its Kendrick Lamar or Nyquil Cole.

    Still bewildered at the 'TPAB wasn't all that' sentiment

    As long as people are aware this has nothing to do with talent as a rapper, im cool saying Drake

    But if Kendrick wins that AOTY, forget about it.

    Not many ? , period, have won it, let alone rap albums

    Love Below was not a rap album, and lets be clear the voters picked that album based on Love Below not Speakerbox and LB was POP/R&B

    Tpab was cool but it wasnt all day. There are many flaws on the album but it is still very good. Also it wasnt a popular album many of his gkmc fans didn't like it at all

    Don't try to deflect. No one mentioned Cole. Everytime someone attacks Drake, your come flying out of the air to defend him. And it's not just you, it's a bunch of other ? too. You on the OVO payroll or nah?

    The two records Drake put out this year weren't as good as To ? A Butterfly IMO and that's what we should be discussing on The Reason..



    .. not his part ownership of a basketball team or who he's ? . Some of y'all ? man. SMH

    The question wasn't specifically about music, but I don't listen to TPAB. Gave it two chances. I like Drake's ? more.
    If Kendrick Lamar was the guy, he'd be the guy. Interscope machine never failed before with an artist with such buzz (2Pac, 50, Dre, Eminem, etc.)...

    Drake's the king of rap right now. These are facts.
