May 24, 2015 They are actually very similar as far as being mixed with mainstream street and conscious with story telling abilities Biggie had Suicidal Thoughts Kendrick Had U Biggie Had Gimme the Loot Kendrick had hood politics They also had the best and most adaptable flows to make unlikely collaborations Biggie had notorious thugs Kendrick had f---in problems Kendrick is Biggie J.cole is Jay z Drake is Pac Lupe is Nas
May 24, 2015 Ratings do not mean much and it only gets rated about a week after its released when the buzz is at its highest so its blurred. come back a year later and its a different story And lol at the last statement. GKMC will have more longetivity than TPAB.
May 24, 2015 Yes or I wouldn't have said it....u don't see the parallels? Drake is the emo rapper who is approaching Icon status with great hits that connect emotionally and will stand the test of time he also has dedicated songs to women and his mother and he acts Kendrick is a rapper with the superior flow and the ability to connect to audiences beyond and including the streets Cole is the calculated artist who will always be one of the hottest ....just not the hottest Lupe is that conscious rapper that got the shine and respect off his first album and Is very lyrically gifted but his hype has fallen considerably since his debut
May 24, 2015 Everything I said is accurate between the comparisons of biggie and Kendrick even if u don't agree with my other comparisons of past legends .....that's neither the vocal point of this thread or my comment
May 24, 2015 Drake and Pac have no musical connections, only similarity is they both acted J Cole and Jay Z connection is based off of both of them having middling fame? Reach Idk I can get behind the kendrick and biggie comparisons Lupe and Nas have had similar career trajectories but that's it
May 24, 2015 Jay and Cole are not middling they are just not number 1 but with each release they grew their brand....and Cole owns a record label and is still a artist in the early phases of his career like Hov. Nas and Lupe are very similar Drake and Pac are both hip hop artists bordering on iconic status but may not be the most lyrical of there peers
May 24, 2015 Nas and Lupe are similar, as are kenny and big But your drake and Pac comparison could apply to literally dozens of artists And just cuz Cole owns a label and is kinda big doesn't make him in any way similar to Jay z
May 24, 2015 because Pac is the most influential hip hop artists of all time ....But name the last big emo rapper that acted and had bars and was selling the most merchandise with songs in the bedroom and the club and Cole is a platinum selling artists he isn't just kinda big he is one of few actually and I also mentioned how year after year he grows his brand just like Hov
May 24, 2015 Pac wasn't emo and didn't make almost exclusively bedroom songs Drake is emotional in the feminine sense not the cutting yourself sense Pac was street, drake is suburban through and through No similarity other than status and hobbies And j Cole is only similar to Jay z in the sense that they own labels
May 24, 2015 Pac was very emo.....he used to write Jada poems and he used to do ballet,,,,Cole and Hov have similar career trajectory
