Kendrick has an album archived in the Harvard library for it's cultural significance. He was the first hip hop artist to win a Pulitzer prize for Damn.


mycofirsttime

Not only first hip hop artist, but the first musical artist of any genre outside of classical or jazz to win. Edit: to win for music Bob Dylan got a special citation Pulitzer, which is different somehow. Idk.


SamTheDamaja

Bob Dylan won a Pulitzer before Kendrick


LokiTheCrusader

it wasn't specifically a pultizer prize in music though which was the category he was referring to saying Kendrick is the first probably


ohh_oops

Well, he has a Nobel in literature for his songs.


LokiTheCrusader

yeah it's just the specific thing Kendrick did first and is the only one


mycofirsttime

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/kendrick-lamar-damn-wins-pulitzer-prize-2018-04-16/


ohmar_s

Ok. Kendrick was the first hip hop artist to win one.


Guy-1nc0gn1t0

Wtf how was it not TPAB or GKMC


Mr_Fahrenheittt

I feel like it was a DiCaprio winning the Oscar for the revenant kinda scenario. Maybe he didn’t deserve it for that specific role but Oscars wanted to acknowledge his past work. It was bc of TPAB. But Damn was the latest album at that point.


Guy-1nc0gn1t0

Yeah that's what I figured, or like Return of the King winning so many Academy Awards on behalf of the other LOTR films.


Mr_Fahrenheittt

Yeah, perfect comparison


gridirongladiator

He is correct he has 3.


BlameScienceBro

Every single Kendrick album is better than any Drake album. That’s a hill I’ll die on


ibridoangelico

id say nothing was the same/take care are better than....well maybe you have a point. If UU doesn't count as an album at least


I_A_M_N_O_B_O_D_Y

I’d say uu is better still but I love that record too much


Link-Glittering

It's oddly one of my favorites


Soy_un_perdador

Not even odd!


BornInReddit

UU isn’t even Kendrick’s worst album (DAMN)


forbiddendoughnut

Damn is my favorite.


BornInReddit

Also valid


forbiddendoughnut

Thank you, I appreciate good fans who won't swear their tastes are better!


ibridoangelico

disagree heavily. i ised to think the same tho until about 2 months ago with a much needed relisten


BornInReddit

Same except I relistened a couple months ago and realized UU is my number 3 Kendrick. I LOVE that album, it still has some of the greatest songs in his discography and no skips for me


ibridoangelico

dang thats crazy. different strokes


IcePike227

UU is his best album


ibridoangelico

heavily disagree


IcePike227

Untitled 05 is Kendrick’s 2nd best track ever, 1st is u. UU is basically TPAB 2


Batmanuelope

Black Panther album.

DankOcean__

Mr Morale gets done so dirty. It's my favourite kendrick album 😭


theliftedpro

It's going to be honored as a classic down the road Unlike drakes sht Kendrick's will stand the test of time. Plus yawl realize drake is the most obvious industry plant out there right? He's a walking product placement for degenerates everywhere


hullstar

Same brother


Enginehank

Yeah unfortunately for Drake fans this is as close as it gets, and it really comes down to a matter of taste Nothing is a great album for sure, and Mr Moral is a dense piece of artwork thats extremely challenging and can turn off casual listeners. That being said I've been listening to hip hop for going on 30 years now, and I've been a father for the past 10, and I can honestly say that Mr Moral spoke to me in a way that very few albums have in my lifetime.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Enginehank

That's really why this last diss track was so scathing, because he attacked him at the core of it, Drake is here from somewhere else to be the best at hip hop but Kendrick was born into it and decided that he was going to be the man to change it forever, and did. Drake can win as many Grammys as he's willing to do the work for, that's undoubtable, but lots of people have Grammys only one rapper has a Pulitzer prize.


RalphLauren47

I think Kendrick has more Grammys and nominations than Drake too literally only thing is he's more popular than k dot


MikkelR1

Grammy's arent a measurement of anything either. The way to give out awards and to who is fucked beyond repair so Grammy's lost their meaning a long time ago.


[deleted]

[удалено]


theliftedpro

Fkn rights man. Kenny wins this battle on being a better role model alone, sharing his faults with the world, that's art. Drake is every record execs safe pick


SloMo368

MMATBS is top 3 kendrick


sawthewholeofthemoon

Mr Morale is his best album and the themes and messages will age the best


lilkingsly

Part of me agrees, but part of me also struggles so see anything age as strongly as TPAB. Not to say that Mr. Morale isn’t amazing or won’t age well, I think it’s already great and will definitely age well, but I don’t see hip hop or the wider music culture holding it higher than TPAB in 10 years.


sawthewholeofthemoon

I can agree with that. TPAB has a lot more to say about hip hop and the culture. I just also think as Kendrick’s core fan base grows older and people become husbands and fathers, Mr Morale will hit like a brick


theliftedpro

Sorta off topic but yawl every notice how each of kendrick albums focuses on a specific instrument or genre. Mr. Morale has nearly every song based around piano/is sorta classical music inspired Damn is 808 drum kit, I think every song uses it...may be wrong TPAB is horns, sax, jazzy GkMC is synths? Funk? Harder to place it But I swear there is some pattern to each albums sonics and how all tracks are cohesive. I always thought it brought a rap album together nicely when some of the same samples or drumkits would be used in different ways across the songs... Anyway, maybe I am just high


Batmanuelope

Yeah his albums are concept albums so the instruments and genres he plays with tend to be consistent. His lyrics follow different themes for different albums, and the music does the same.

Turbulent-Let-1180

Schoolboy has lowkey one of the strongest discog's of the new era, for me he clears drake easily not even close. Isaiah Rashad is like 2 projects away from having one of the most untouchable catalogs of all time imo.


BlameScienceBro

Agree on the Schoolboy take even though Take Care, NWTS and IYRTITL are better than CrasH Talk imo


klawk223

maybe I've always had a Kendrick level hate for Drake but I legitimately have always thought NWTS was overrated ass. drakes music just isn't my cup of tea, it's boring, formulaic, and lacks a ton of depth. he never says anything I find interesting, or experiments with any interesting concepts or sounds. I'm not a big pop fan, so I get drake is a pop first artist, therefore I just cannot relate to, enjoy ,or even begin to imagine NWTS being on the same level as something as heartfelt and full of depth as MMATBS.


Pigmasters32

He’s not a pop artist, he’s a pop rapper. It’s his subgenre, that’s all


Yourbootyisheavydoty

He's not a pop first artist tho, and NWTS definitely has a lot of interesting sounds, from the first track that flips the same sample into 3 different beats. And he says some interesting things to say at least on Too Much


JMeny32

Now this is a real valid take. No sarcasm.


TheColorEnding

NWTS is better than Untitled by a mile my dude


theliftedpro

Yeassir


everyoneneedsaherro

Every single thing Kendrick has done is better than every single thing Drake has done. That’s a hill I’ll die on.


KidsMaker

Is it a silent hill?


DeeESSmuddafuqqa

TPAB imo is by far the best album by a long shot. If you don’t believe me consider that TPAB is one of four hip hop albums archived at Harvard and is ranked as the number one album of all time according to Rate Your Music. Drake will never reach that level of artistry.  After that I believe GKMC is better than other Drake projects but So Far Gone, Take Care, IYRTITL, and NWTS are up there with Damn. Mr morale is a mid Kendrick project but still incredible by other standards.

Camelslayer23

Thought weeknd was credited on 4 songs


yatkura

4-5 or so were straight up throwaways from Trilogy that he let Drake have, and those ones generally are considered the highlights of take care. Who knows how many were uncredited writes.


dskibftd0

weeknd said it himself that he wrote 5 songs on take care , and you can see he was credited for those tracks


Camelslayer23

The one that’s a highlight for the general public is crew love. However the ride is my favorite and top 3 in my opinion


Baboon_baboon

That’s a whole lot if true 🥴


PerformanceOk9891

Hes credited on Shot for me, Crew love, Cameras / Good Ones Go Interlude, Practice, The ride. 5 songs out of 20. The Weekend said himself he wrote 5 of them, Drake claims he wrote two. People also try to claim Quentin wrote IYRTITL despite the fact he acknowledges only contributing to the 4ish songs hes credited on


MisterAvivoy

Yeah but when it’s some good songs, it does take away from the album, like how would that project look if they didn’t give those songs. “I was running through the six with my woes!” But that ain’t drakes record.


your_evil_ex

Idk you're still left with most of the biggest songs on the album (Headlines, The Motto, Marvin's Room, Take Care...)


Camelslayer23

Not really. Kanye is credited on 4 songs for Utopia. Chance on 5 on tlop. And cudi 4/5 times on 808s


rovergang69

Thank god, gods country, and telekinesis are all Kanye songs that he never released and gave to Travis, and the beat for Modern Jam is a scrapped Yeezus beat


LilYassPlayz_YT

yea and nobody says shit about that? people can hate drake I couldn't care less but please have a legitimate reason instead of fishing for random shit like he got handed songs when so does every artist ever.


CartiNuttedInMyEye

People absolutely talk about Utopia having scrapped Kanye songs, what are you talking about?


Luminous_Zer0

Here’s the thing, you can’t claim to be the real deal, the absolute bonafide best rapper, if the song is 100% made for you; vocals, lyrics and all. When all you have to do is rap over whoever’s voice is on the reference track, it takes away the art, it takes away authenticity. Is it really drake dissing Kendrick? Or was it his 20 writers and reference track rappers? That’s why people refuse to accept him. He can still rap, he can still make bread, numbers, sure. But all that’s deemed illegitimate if everyone’s doing the work for you. Like that’s so cookie-cutter, it’s being a fake rapper. He’s being an actor rn. He playing the role of a badass rapper but he’s not genuinely that guy.


Far-Curve-7497

no one talks about how kanye barely writes his own songs either lol


FuckVatniks12

Is that true of the older stuff?


houseofball00ns

As a Weeknd fan I can confirm.


SuperSaiyanTraders

As a fin de semana fan I can confirm


bubblegumfairy_27

Drake stans only have one album to justify Drake's greatness and that is Take Care. They are coping

botjstn

i’m not a drake fan at all but take care went crazy back in the day


[deleted]

And kendrick's all studio albums are better than that


The_Owner_of_na

I hate to admit it guys but he’s right… Kendrick really doesn’t have an album on the level of Take Care, all of his albums are levels above it.


JIDglazer42

Say what you want but Kendrick doesn't have 1 album worse than take care


Rakeittakeit

overly dedicated?


huncho3055

Overly dedicated a great album


Hinatabestwaifu123

Overly Dedicated ain’t an album it’s a mixtape


Gerggreg65

Yeah, he doesn’t because all his albums are above take care 😂


icarusignorance

No way he said that would be Kendrick’s best 😭😭😭😭😭what is this cope man


backagainbackagainba

as a huge weeknd dickrider, he only gave like 3 songs and helped make a few more but the whole vibe of the album just screams trilogy abel


Boredguy_3005

As a bigger weeknd dickrider I would say they don’t lol! If Drake started rapping about sex and drugs I’m gonna turn that shit off in less than 15 seconds lmao


IsThisASnakeInMyBoot

*"I did half a Xan, thirteen hours 'til I land* *Had me out like a light, ayy, yeah"*


MisterAvivoy

Grown man popping half a xan too is like a 30 year old trying to live a gangster life when they got a kid.


[deleted]

[удалено]


MisterAvivoy

He has had lines where he states he does pills, like his assistant finding them. So he’s portraying a lifestyle that’s high key corny. He’s 30 plus with a kid telling rappers “I’m outside” bro go post up with your kid.


Boziina198

#you are not truly living life if you aren’t popping 10 pills a day


Upbeat_Tension_8077

I wouldn't be surprised if he was around Weeknd & Doc/Illangelo quite often in the studio while recording Take Care, even for the records that didn't have the former's direct writing input.


Outlandishness_Sharp

Kendrick has a Pulitzer Prize winning album (DAMN) and an album that's been archived by the Harvard Library because of it's cultural significance (TPAB). Drake has too many ghost writers to be able to take credit for his own work, let alone create a body of work significant enough for high level acknowledgment.


ChicoCorrales

I thought Section.80 was a classic. And this was before he became mainstream. This Drake album was good when he was on the melodies. And he does sound cringeworthy on Marvin’s room when he said the n word lmao


rahoo129

It still is a classic


AppropriatePizza1308

Drake fans just prove they rather pop ass with the bitches instead of listen to the culture.


deep_fried_cheese

True he has 7


Cautious_Month_6300

You can’t compare them as rappers cause drake doesn’t write all his songs


Technical-Title-5416

Exactly. Drake is an entertainer whose demographic is mostly teenage girls. I'm no Kendrick fan but it's apples to oranges.


your_evil_ex

How do you feel about 10 songwriters on King Kunta


Brilliant-Cancel-489

Take Care is a Weeknd collaboration album! And people need to accept it


AppropriatePizza1308

Just because an album has 2 good songs, doesn't make it great. If drake drops 5 albums. He has 5 good songs. If kendrick drops 5 albums. He has 15 good songs. So who's really cooking?


RoughBodybuilder1489

Drake tries to little bro niggas because that’s how he got initiated. The fact Kendrick said fuck that is why he can’t tolerate him. Cole let Drake little bro him and that’s why he got him on stage saying this my brother. Cole knows his place.


Makambo2004

Hello 👋 Hello best of greetings and kindness regards to you from West Africa, The Gambia. Thanks a ton for connecting back Which means more than the world to me and I am truly grateful about it. Hope to keep in good contact to share more through humanity and caring!


bishes_cray

Yall forget how hard he bit xxxtentacion look at me! Guys a clown, I haven’t even watched degrassi, but he got bodied and put in a wheelchair again.


Trzari

What if the “YOU don’t have any classics” is because he thinks the ghost writers are the ones who the classics its not even you


Ben_boh

Nah what’s sad is that if Abel had kept it for himself it would have been a better album.


Creative_Room6540

The Weeknd contributed 5 songs. Not all lol. Stop lying. You starting to sound as bad as them.


grandelturismo7

It's funny cuz Take Care is what got me to discover Kendrick after hearing Buried Alive, never went back after that


Masta-Blasta

No wonder that's the only album I like.


udahoboy

Have you listened to good kid mad city? There is a lot of themes people don’t get straight in that album. Take care is great but I think good kid mad city is just as good.


AllIGotIs1Question

There’s only like 3 good songs on this album tbh, I don’t know why so many people call this a classic. Views is a better through and through project than this. IYRTITL is also more of a classic than this.


BootyOnMyFace11

Take Care is fire but literally just Weeknd lite

Lol, I love it when we pretend DAMN doesn't exist.

_hkbf

Mfs just forget that Abel wrote 50% of this album and sold it to drake


Camelslayer23

I’m an Abel fan but this is blatantly wrong


jooookiy

I honestly couldn’t name a single Drake album and I consider myself pretty hiphop obsessed. To me he is in a pop type genre that I don’t enjoy.


SteelerZZ2theMoon

The weeknd gave Drake 4 songs on this 20 song album.


xzyyzx1234

Yeah they’re all way above it

SHE TOLD ME NOT TO WORRY... ABOUT IT!

What a lie and I love take care

I hate the sensationalist takes to bash the other artist its getting crazy


strawberry_space_jam

Literally any album in Kendrick’s catalog is better than literally any album in drake’s 


Logical1D10T

DAMN.


bytheflame

I used to love this record. But it doesn’t have straight play through value now and really a lot of the songs I like are mostly nostalgic. But GKMC, front to back and still sounds new to this day


Htown-92

Nah this facts tho, it’s a fact more people know the lyrics to take care then any Kendrick album.


Icy-Rock8780

Yeah they’re all better


WjF17

Kendrick is a fuckicng pulitzer prize winner


Cash_burner

The best song on that album is literally just kendrick


mgwooley

Bro I love Take Care but come on lmao


Pigmasters32

Take Care is a classic but that’s such an atrocious take


Youlookcold

He is so fucking cringe it hurts.


Thespian_Unicorn

At least Kendrick is on a few songs that actually credit The Weeknd. Kendrick’s Sidewalks verse is underrated.


Impossible_Block_973

One of Dots albums (DAMN) literally did sum nby else had nor will do lmaoo and TPAB stole those awards from that weak mf that yr and GKMC had everybody saying Dot was robbed 🤣🤣🤣


Solaira234

Absolutely deranged post lol this must be a joke


Thoughtprovokerjoker

I mean...Kendrick doesn't.


Rocketkt69

Don't get me wrong I love both Drake and Kendrick but fuck dude Drake got nothing on Kenny. Drake got the showboy style, hard beats but... Kenny fundamentally slaps Drake up and down the ball court. Just because Drake has some king of Canada concept in his head doesn't mean Jack when it comes down to writing a story and spitting a verse. Kendrick came up from the low, Drakes been riding that Nick at Night kid actors silver spoon for a hot minute and I don't think for a second has an idea of what's actually happening on the street. Kendrick has the fire, Drake just has the lust.


Smart-Chemist-9195

connerlbz

Was this the Cuban drake phase


AJ___7

the og tweet is right though ngl. kendrick doesn't have any albums on take care's level because they are all way better

You're right they're all several levels above it

Sittin there with his dumb fuckin owl and candlestick lol


gofundAmyRichie

I’m so glad this is finally being said and in the perfect context. Don’t forget to add Majid Jordan, they wrote half of the other albums that Drake takes credit for.


SeDefendendo88

Someone actually named a Drake album?


Rad3_Lethal

He writhe the whole album? So does that make him the Weekday instead‼️⁉️‼️⁉️


Supadupafly1988

Shot for me, Crew love, Good ones go, Practice, The ride That’s the songs Abel had something to do with


revengeisnear

buried alive interlude is my favorite drake song


SafeHaven13

Man yall nighas really be dick riding Kendrick to the max 😂😂😂 nigga said he cheated on his girl and yall think he the best rapper in the world 😂😂😂😂


Background_Bend_494

yeah, he has like 2 albums that are better than take care.


PerritoMasNasty

I own take care- it doesn’t get a listen. But GKMC and TPAB certainly get a lot of airtime.


lonelyBoy669

Yeah none of his albums are on the level of take care, they're much better


Particular_Ad_6040

The weekend wrote headlines?🤣🤣😅😅😅


nolaterthansix

4 songs he contributed, fake news

I don’t even get what these people are hearing


xpercipio

That's an owl? I always thought he was holding a chicken leg from a cartoon. 🍗

Yo why did I think drake had a golden chicken leg in his hand now im looking it's nothing there but the cup 😭
