However, our strange desire to implement some kind of hierarchy between the two seems unnecessary: there is very much a place for pop sounds within hip hop, and vice versa. He has made (at least) one of the most important hip hop albums of the past decade.ĭrake’s More Life too has unleashed a sea of hot takes, but the nature of the discussion is completely different: with Kendrick there is an awed reverence, with Drake there’s more of a bemused one.

The music world is drooling when it comes to ‘The Heart Part 4’ because pretty much anything he does now is set to be some kind of moment - and that’s not unwarranted. In 2017, post- To Pimp A Butterfly and all that has come after, when there’s a new Kendrick song everyone stops to pay attention.
DRAKE OWN IT VS KENDRICK LAMAR LOVE SERIES
The series of tracks never merited much in the way of critical discussion in and of themselves, especially not compared to Section.80, Good Kid, M.A.A.D City or, indeed, Kendrick’s verse on ‘Control’ - but things have changed a lot for our favourite Compton boy in the past few years. In 2010 when ‘The Heart Part 1’ dropped, I’d wager the huge platform that Kendrick Lamar has today would have been hard to fathom. More Life is all well and good (or not, depending who you’re talking to) but it’s no doubt more of a pop compilation: what Kendrick does is straight-up hip hop. Even though that ScHoolboy Q meme turned out to be fake, the sentiment of it echoes how a lot of more traditionalist hip hop fans seem to feel when considering Kendrick’s output versus a chart king like Drake.
