Drizzy .vs. K.Dot

 

I have so much to say about these 2 guys! Like my hands are typing a million miles per min...... OK not really, but you know what I mean. This shit is just too good to NOT talk about.

Everyone knows that Kendrick called out a lot of rappers on Big Sean's Control. Oh you didn't? Well while you were busy bouncing in the club listening to Boosie and Future, the sport of Rap turned up a notch after Kendrick dropped this:

"But this is hip-hop and them niggas should know what time it is
And that goes for Jermaine Cole, Big KRIT, Wale
Pusha T, Meek Millz, A$AP Rocky, Drake
Big Sean, Jay Electron', Tyler, Mac Miller
I got love for you all but I'm tryna murder you niggas
Trying to make sure your core fans never heard of you niggas
They don't wanna hear not one more noun or verb from you niggas
What is competition? I'm trying to raise the bar high
Who tryna jump and get it? You're better off trying to skydive...”

So do you see why this is so controversial? You still don't know? Well, I'm going to tell you why. Rap is sometimes so subliminal so therefore we use our days trying to figure out who this Rapper talking to or about and this n*gga actually said it! How you call out Big Sean in HIS OWN SONG?? Smh lol... And to claim The Best Rapper Alive? Thats a very big claim to make. Titles and positions in rap are very sensitive and when someone says that then you gotta be ready for the heat to follow. Rappers are going to be dropping verses left and right. But I didn’t think it called for a verse-only response, maybe an entire album response? Wait, maybe he's referring to your entire CAREER as a RAPPER. This means that you constantly have to be on your sh*t! Ready to drop some fire at any given time. That’s hard work and I'm hoping Kendrick knew what he started upon dropping that verse. He called out some BIG names as well. Some people may view this verse as a shot taken at those rappers and it comes from a malicious place OR some people like myself may view this as a wakeup call to those Rappers to get their sh*t up. In my opinion, he was just raising the bar for Hip-Hop. Personally, Hip Hop has been thrown off balance since 2001. We need some real sh*t to balance it back out.

Now, my opinion on K.Dot: Kendrick is a very good lyricist with strong messages in every song. He not exactly "up there" yet but he's getting there. We need some more music and time out of him. With him being so new into the national spotlight he is off to a good start. His album good Kid, m.A.A.d. City was a classic. He's definitely been crowned the Golden Kid of Hip hop right now. He was raised on the West Coast under the Dr. Dre and Snoop Dog era. In addition, he's the only one gaining commercial success so far and he knows he has to come hard. His motivation: His City.

Now, Drizzy.... the man I've always had but never actually had *chills in my spine*...

Even though I'd love for Drake to have my babies, it’s time to gossip about his lyricism for a min.

Drake has drastically improved since my 1st time hearing him 2007. I was just listening to his Comeback Season joint this morning and hearing him then and now is just a major upgrade. He's getting more in tuned with himself; more comfortable. He's also becoming more aware that his bars are actual bars. He's in his prime as a writer. I think Drake originally struggled with coming to terms that he IS dope and he just may be one of the best rappers of this generation. The NWTS album was a perfect example of Drake feeling himself and he made sure we knew it as well. I think Drake is an awesome rapper because he's more of a story teller. I find myself wanting to listen to his joints because it’s obviously about something going on in his life right now. In a way, I've compare his style to Hov because Hov can drop some sh*t about his life currently and its dope. Hov's perfect example? Watch The Throne. Drake has reached a phenomenal peak in commercial success that some people just want him to fail. But we'll see.

Now this is why I put the title Drizzy .vs. K.Dot: They both boast about being the best in Rap Game. For this year, Kendrick dropped some hot subliminal sh*t. All Drake has for this year is "The Language"; it's not like "Stay Scheming" or "Lord Knows". They both are screaming that they are the best in it right now and will be forever. But I notice that both of them talk real big sh*t on records so I'm hoping they live up to it.
