Nah. Kendrick is a smart dude. And even his feature on Marvins Room / Buried Alive is sick. The production is right in Kendrick's lane.Ken Masters said:

Drake's ahead of all of them (by a lot in fact) except KRIT. he ripped it on the rap songs for Take Care.
lyrically he's even w/ them all bar yelawolf but dude shits on them from a tower when it coes to songwriting ability.
lol @ all the butthurt from the thought of Kendrick signing w/ Cash Money. They've been pretty good about letting artists do their own shit for the most part and they're the only crew out selling records right now. i think it'd be a great look for Kendrick if he really wants to be the new King of the West.
edit: besides, it not like Kendrick doesnt make radio friendly stuff. Michael Jordan on OD.
ADHD, No Makeup and Blow My High on section80. he'd do well w/ OVOXO behind him
I like Drake. When So Far Gone dropped, I went to his concert here in Houston at Warehouse Live when the tickets was $20. But cmon man. Be objective. The only category where Drake excels at is his song writing skills. J. Cole would out rap Drake for days. That is just my opinion. I can't see Drake doing a song like Rise and Shine. The same thing with Kendrick and Yelawolf. Drake can't out rap these guys.DominoKid said:
If you disagree, post the most impressive song by Drake that could go ahead to ahead with the rappers I mention. We can let everyone decide.

I don't care for the validation, but you have to be lying to yourself if you act like he cant rap. I don't particularly care for yelawolf but i'm not blind to the fact that he can rap.

What are you talking about? Take Care is killing everything else in the game.
My library has had a gaping hole where "music to drunk dial ex-girlfriends" should have been filling.
Take Care has finally filled that void.

DominoKid loves DOOM so I can ride with him. But SMH regardless
Drake is like that beef ramen in your dorm pantry. It seems like quality cuisine compared to the oatmeal you've been eating for the last year, but it's still an average feast breh. He's just a guy who can spit better than his mainstream contemporaries, but overall his content is just not impressive or interesting.
I think the album is alright so far. When he's rapping it's cool, the singing shit sounds like poor attempts at crooning/Weeknd style. Production is amazing; gotta love that Gil Scott Heron transition on Take Care. More impressions later though, I want to give this a fair shot.

Clipse was such a good duo that I still instantly miss Malice. But yeah, I think the only track that he ever didn't technically release for free on that album is Trouble On My Mind. He's Phife without Tip, or Bun without Pimp. Currensy without Ski Beatz. Big Boi without Andre. It's good, but it's missing that element that made it great.

we get it, your gimmick is old now
What do you consider to be good music in hip hop now? (don't answer "nothing", otherwise you wouldn't be in this thread)
Domino's Drake stannery. I respect it a ton. But he backs up his points. The Drake to Yela comparison is so abstract, I find difficulty even comparing the two they're so different.overcast said:
If I didn't have self restraint, my Kanye stannery would know no bounds. Yes, I actually sit here and listen to Kanye all day in case y'all were wondering.
I think I'm the only one who likes TML more than Take Care... huh.
-Over
-Fancy
-Miss Me
-Unforgettable (so underrated btw)
-Up All Night (for some reason this sounded awesome in my car, banged like hell)
-Maybe even Thank me Now...
^all of these songs are better than EVERYTHING on Take Care, with the exception of maybe Headlines. I don't know why, maybe its the beats which are, imho, unquestionably better. Or maybe the fact that Drake actually raps. I dunno. Looking back, Thank Me Later was pretty awesome.

Well, first of all as an R&B album I like Take Care (lol).
Secondly, in hip-hop? Hmm...Idk, I'm a little behind, haven't had time to keep up with hip-hop like I'd like to. I liked Section 80, I liked what I've heard of Ambition. Black and Brown is a strong contender for my AOTY. As well as XXX. Oneirology(sp?) is a dope ass album. Excite for dat new The Roots, Yelawolf, dat El-P + Killer Mike collab, etc, etc...

Take Care is pretty fucking bad. I'm the furthest thing from a Drake fan though so I didn't expect to actually enjoy it. Dude's just not good... at all. He makes nothing but vagina music. But hey he's gotten rich off selling his music to girls so good for him, I don't hate him for it. Just hate his shitty music.

nahhhh....that's too logical to be true. They'd be saying Mac Miller is the best young rapper right now too if his album had drakehype behind it and K dot had a verse on it.

I'm as serious as Drake is when he's sippan on rozay trying to get at the thick broad. She might be the one who turns this night into something special. Fuck her if she ain't down for the cause tho, cause Drizzy ain't about to get caught up in love wit no broad, all hes about is makin money for da crew and fam...

ok, I'm sorry recon. I'm a bit of an asshole mood tonight. :3
Goblin evokes this crazy nostalgia in me. It's hard to explain. It's one album with absolutely zero fakeness, And the whole sound of the album, it was simple but really refreshing and naive in a good way. Really naked from any industry shit. It takes me back to a simpler time. Drinking a duffle bag of warm 40ozs and smoking black n milds and dirt weed. Breaking random shit in the woods, driving around aimlessly and crushing girls in high school. I just needed that record.
