I love what Kendrick brings.

I love TPAB but his other albums are just cool to me.

If I look at DAMN, I like DNA, YAH, ELEMENT, FEEL, PRIDE, FEAR, DUCKWORTH.

That's cool...and then there are joint I actually is like, LOYALTY, HUMBLE, LOVE, GOD.

I don't particularly like LUST OR XXX either.

And even though I like DUCKWORHT, I don't like 9th and think his beats sound cheap many times.

So if I'm honest about what that album is, it is very similar to I Am.

A lot of that has to do with his era and the bar being lowered.

He has not reached the same heights as some of the greats to me. I have boys who say "Drake is cool for what he is today" and I'm like what does that mean? I still rank Drake against MCs Black Thought because he's an MC right? And if I do that, Drake isn't in the same league. And then my boys reply "of course not". So what are we really talking about?

Everyone has the same measures to me. I'm not grading these cats on a curve.
