    Why does everybody forget that Drake defamed first. Drake does not have a claim because he lost a fight he went low on first, actually the only person who might have a case here is Whitneym since she is the only civilian. It is incredibly hard to claim defamation when you're a public figure, especially since there are hints of what was said about Drake being true you. know with tne of the video of him groping an underage girl on stage and texting 14 year old Millie Bobby Brown, telling her he missed her and "helping her with boys" (her words). Everyone tunes in to hear your opinion but please try to gather facts too so that your opinion is based on something concrete. Also the first person to bring up Drake like a young girls in this rap beef was Drake - Taylor Made in the Tupac AI voice, so where is his claim?

    i don’t think y’all understand what the Big 3 really means •Drake, Kendrick, and Cole all came out around the late 2000’s, hitting their stride arguably together around 2011-2015, • Their catalogue combined is unmatched (So Far Gone, Friday Night Lights, Section.80, Take Care, Born Sinner, GKMC, NWTS, 2014FHD, TPAB, IYRTIL, 4YEO & DAMN. etc.) •To describe them as musicians i’d say Kendrick is Goku, J. Cole is Broly, Drake is Vegeta…iykyk • The Moments they created: J. Cole being the first rapper to go platinum without features, a rapper starting his own successful label (Dreamville) with really amazing artists who are also doing well, Kendrick dropping the Control verse, & being the only rapper to win a pulitzer, Drake having the most hits & streams+rappers careers taking off just cause of the Drake feature • They are the musicians they are today cause of always being pitted with one another all these years…the history goes deep, removing one em will be like removing takeoff from migos •with that being said ya’ll should come up with a new name to add rappers like Tyler, Denzel, Travis etc.…these is just my 2 cents…oh & Kanye is an unc now, he’s part of his own era😂

    I don't want Nicki working with these lazy, untalented girls. The pressure they put on her to work with these entitled untalented girls, caused the music to suffer. The pressure to present a facade of unity inhip hop, has really cheapened the entire genre, but especially female rap. The Nicki discussion came off a little lazy and narrow. There's so much involved to come to such a flat thoughtless conclusion. Everyone is entitled their opinion, but it was probably better to stay on the topic you prepared for. Kendrick brought back the essence of hip hop, which is rebellion from the mainstream,and the spirit of fierce competition. That's why he’s winning. In female rap, Nicki gets disparaged for simply keeping it hip hop, because all those other little girls don't want to compete, they want her to hand them her career.

    Enjoyed the commentary here. I think both your scores were fair. I have this album at 8/10, which is very good. Yes, it's not Kendrick's usual conceptual type project, where there's underlying themes, and an overarching concept to tie it together. However, I think he deliberately strayed from that this time, and just had fun with it, while propping up and feeding the west coast. At this point, Kendrick's basically competing with himself, far as sitting atop the hip hop throne. His non-conceptual "bops" album, which GNX is, is still better than 95% of the sh## on-offer in hip hop right now.
