IYRTITL vs TPAB

     Like a good friend of mine says let's talk about the elephant in the room.  Who has the hottest release: K Dot or Drizzy?  Now before we go any further let me acknowledge the fact that there were lots of other hot releases this year for example I love ZRo new shyte.  These are two of the most listened to hip hop artist in music like Kobe vs MJ both in their prime.  So with ninfurther or do let's get to it      Let's get the basics out the way. Two well put together projects, from two super duper talented artists.  Both have an excellent beat selection and when it comes down to content and skills neither of then slacked or missed a step.  On the surface the question just breaks down to who or what type of music you prefer.  A more soulful black revolution sound or something more along the lines of rhythm & rap?  
  •      With "If You're Reading This Its To Late" Drake does what Drake does and that's stay in his lane and make good music.  Nothing outside of what he usually does, just upgraded as expected, but you can't go wrong with catchy hooks, solid song concepts &  production.  I'm still not sure if its Drake official album or is it just a mixtape/something he put out just to get on through. Whatever the case its a good project.

  •      Kendrick also did what he was expected to and that's make another audio movie.  Complete masterpiece.  K Dot crossed a boundary with To Pimp A Butterfly that major artists these days dare not to, & that's wage war against the oppressor.  Content and production wise as well.  To top it off it sounds totally different from GKMC just as GKMC differs from Section .80.
     So in closing you can't compare the two albums because they're completely different artist, that make two different types of music.  I can say that Kendrick can do what Drake did (as far as the type of music he does) but I don't see Drake doing what Kendrick did.  Key words here are  I don't see it,  but that doesnt mean it cant be done.  Just like K Dot dont wanna do club type music, Drake may just not want to make music like that.  What is official though is that each artist put out some great material for their fans to savor for a while....
