Cassidy on Drake's Rap Style vs. Kendrick Lamar's: Drake's Got A Lot of Styles (Part 14) 

You’re not inspiring me. You’re not in your bag. I inspire myself.

😂 It’s gonna be like passing A Math Algebra

Cassidy be writting with the vein poppin out his forhead 😂

@@treedillinger5801 nah 😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂

That would be fire

Fr

It would ruin music. Similar to how sport media pushes narratives on players.

He really needs to do that

Me too

😂 yeah the hardest battle rapper listening to Drake singing is hilarious.

@@kayflip2233 😂😂 Then him making the mean face when he hit certain notes too 😂

Drwke is cell from DBZ

That’s how I feel when I listen to thugg

They’re called compound rhymes.

swagger jacking at its finest 🤣

👑🌟👑

He credited Drakes writing staff without outright dissing him back hand complimenting at its core

@@LastRealPlayaAlive exactly 😂😂

​@@LastRealPlayaAlive that's why he's an elite battle rapper. He can communicate the point with it being the perfect sub.

Best analogy I heard all week 😮😊

Then who would Black Thought or Eminem or Canibus be?

I think metaphors and punchlines matter way more than syllables, Cassidy just being a nerd and technical about lyrics. Drake has way more punchlines and metaphors in his lyrics than Kendrick. Drake and Wayne were showcasing that ability early in their careers. Kendrick just spits a ton of syllables and rhymes words fast to make it sound fancy but don't be really saying anything impressive other than conscious lyrics to make you think.

​@@TheDamnFarao Yes but punchlines are important and if you punch without rhyming it's not good...Not everybody can punch but at least every rapper should rhyme better because it's easier...that's why Cassidy is mad because it's easy to rhyme with syllables but some niggas still can't do it

@Young Mesrine🤴🏿 Well Cassidy is talking about a niche type of thing that most people don't gaf about. Like papoose when he choose a specific letter and ONLY rhymes words starting with that letter, that's niche. Most listeners aint gon be like "damn that bar was hard he rhymed 5 syllables" but a clever bar or punchline will always do the trick.

@@TheDamnFarao nothing wrong with conscious lyrics that make you think… to me, it all matters.. I think there’s times where it calls for u to be witty with simple punchlines & metaphors & there’s also times to showcase your vocabulary & rhyme words on a high level.. I think everybody we consider great all have the ability to do all of those things at the same time.

​@@TheDamnFarao thats why I hate fast rap, I want to understand and catch the punchlines or even the story

FACTS! Especially early Fab on the clue tapes

MIKE is the best he’s just not as popular

example?

@@Music-tf1yn They ain’t gone say shit. You know how this goes, they just talkin…

@@iceman18ize 🤣

True,he could be super lyrical but he wouldn’t top the charts with that

He doesn’t write most of it , that’s why be not the goat , his delivery is dope though

​@@Solobreed91 Can you prove that?

He might be an Ai

@@MrVIrginiaLUV it’s a iykyk, but Drake definitely has ghost writers and was exposed years ago and no one mentioned it since then. I think you can hear the ghostwriters style vs his own in 0 to 100/The Catch Up.

You don’t even post your songs. How can we hear you?

He said he will on his podcast

Facts!

We talking rap bars you talking music. Cass is a Rap artist. I dont think you get it.

Yep!

Facts and that’s blithe problem now, people don’t care about the art of rap anymore

fact

Not every scheme have to apply to his TASTE...HE JUST HATING PERIOD

@@15997359 nah just speaking personally for myself, it’s not about being good enough for his taste, I myself respect the game too much to play like that

@@dajuanjackson8205 cassidy's only big Hit was Hotel with R.KELLY, lol dats what O can quickly recall and some song with a woman Mashonda..Bro to make music that sells u have to appeal to the majority of the purchasing clients tastebuds. Cassidy is projecting a NICHE of lyricism that is limiting. Id say mixing certain schemes/styles is what makes hits..even is we talking jusT MUSIC chord progressions...

Since You understand do You agree that Drake is better than Kendrick when it comes to syllables?

The only thing Drake is better at than Kendrick is making albums with niggas he can rap circles around.

@@closure9938 who else agreed?😂

@@closure9938 u didn’t ask me, but this is a good question. Because Kendrick does use a lot of syllables but it sounds forced at times. Like he’ll add unnecessary words to make the syllables match. I would have to do a deep dive on Drake because his rhymes can be simple at times but he has a huge talent for connecting with the audience even if it’s simple. Sometimes the highest form of sophistication is simplicity.

He can rap any style but that doesn’t mean he’s very lyrical. You can have a great delivery with “ok” lyrics plus he has a better voice so of course people think he’s better than everybody. I don’t agree with it.

​@@SoulOfTheSouth if you don't think he lyrical go listen to Rigamortis and come back to this comment

@@elbowgang9715 I’ve heard it before. Give me a example of a Kendrick line that is lyrical.

​@@elbowgang9715 that shit ain't lyrical.

​@SoulOfTheSouth I bet you listen to mumble rapper.

HE STUCK ON THE OLD, LEFT BEHIND...HATING A HELL OF A DRUG😂

​@@15997359 left behind by who? Can't be intelligent people

You really think Cass is a good example of this though? Yeah, he’s an OG but he’s mid tier OG skill wise at best…

@@iceman18ize You can call him mid tier as an artist I'll concede that because conceptually and stylistically he hasn't made as much effort to change and evolve his style. He stayed in the same lane for practically his entire career without much deviation. But as a lyricist I'm going to disagree with you. He clearly is one of the chosen rappers who actually pays attention to detail in his bars. He's not just rhyming for the sake of rhyming.

@@shawnhawes7545 I don’t see him outpunching Method, Los, Royce, Thought, hell even Elzhi to be honest he’s not catching or beating them in any pocket ANY day of the week. He never evolved, he stays in that same shell mostly. He pokes his head out to eat within his range, but he never moves his feet. He stayed in that same comfort zone and never ventured to other pastures. Which is why we get this slow redundant speech on bar construction and 1000 critiques for new artists, instead of doing comprehensive breakdowns of his individual projects as an artist. The fact is, the songs are scattered chickenscratch with little direction as a complete package. Cass is a rapper, I’ll give you that. But he’s so stuck in his ways, that that is all he’ll ever be, never an artist. He will be remembered as a technical pioneer, no more. Remember “Flawless, Real Talk”…? That’s Cass, just with a more refined/ polished exterior, but essentially the same formula...

Talk 2 them💯💪🏿

Period

@49 Keyz Beats yea its wild how ppl be oblivious to true MCees having bars within bars .. thats why all the real heads listenin to Trust Griselda the cloth black thought pro dillinger n snotty OBH back in the days like thsts pressure kendrick not fw them niggas like shoota93 n shit

What did you say about kendrick didn't get it?

Looks like Lrg

That’s a fact. That’s why the greats are the greats. I get what you’re saying, what good is a multi syllable rhyme that doesn’t connect with the listener

“The goat” at what lad?🤔

Foh He has no memorable bars or any lasting rhymes. They come and go. Nobody can even recite a drake bar off the top of their head and if they do it's only shit they heard a billion times on radio or some bullshit.

DRAKE_is there more

😭😭😭 nigga please he stole every style and don't even write his raps 🗑️

Early hov.. in my lifetime...is crazy
