He could've easily said "Drake is from Canada so I gotta go with American artist" to avoid handing Drake the L. But he specifically mentioned lyrics. That's gotta burn.

Best President. But what about Kanye?

Is this even a fucking question? Kendrick shits on Drake and it's not even fucking close. Drake is a mediocre, boring rapper with zero presence and personality on the mic, as memorable and lifelike as a crash test dummy. Kendrick is on track to being one of the greatest rappers of all time.

Drake is as much an American as Ted Cruz though.

Drake hate is lame because even though he will never be as technically skilled as Kendrick or able to come up with his type of concepts, Drake has some amazing verses and songs. He's also held his own or surpassed Kanye, Wayne, Kendrick, Jay, Bun B, Jadakiss, etc, etc on songs.

Man, these last series of interviews just reinforced why I voted for the man twice. Awesome choice.

damn, kdot's on another level but drizzy hasn't released a bad project yet - not for everyone, but stuff like Take Care really isn't any of that
at least she moved on from fetty wap

I figured Obama would like Drake more since they both have somebody else writing their stuff.

LOL. You can't be serious. Whatever, I don't get Drake. He's fucking boring as hell and doesn't even write his own lyrics.
Also, fuck the Warriors.
KIDDING!
While he had a ghostwriter for one verse and a cowriter for some off of IYRTITL, I don't buy into his writing game being weak. he has written hit songs for other artists before, too.
Dead serious. Love Barry, but can't roll with him on this one.

Well, OK that's fine with me, LOL. But eh, calling Kendrick mediocre and boring isn't much of an unpopular opinion, I suppose. I feel the same way about Drake though; he's a much better singer than he his rapper, IMO.

I was pretty dissapointed Drake had shit like Know Yourself and 10 Bands written and even SPAT by some other dude but he still can make a damn good banger so....whatever I guess.
Kdot is where my bias goes though.

At least we can all agree that Kool G Rap is one of the greats, right?

Don't know how you could disagree with him on this. Unless of course you hate America.

You can't keep pretending for almost 10 years without slipping once.
He's a natural.
