kinda ominous, it’s one of those moments where you can see who is a writer and an entertainer, like a power struggle between the man (Drake) and the little guy (Kendrick)

Literally speaking, neither are really the little guy, but imo you can see who views music as a nourishment for the soul and who treats it as something to be consumed. And damn does it show

Also, I feel like these moments make me foolishly hopefully that people will notice the aforementioned microcosm of a factor that makes life hard for fucking everyone, but it never seems to come does it.

I am familiar with Kendrick's albums.

I don't think I ever listened to anything Drake (I am not following this controversy, but it's hard to avoid now). Can you recommend me an LP or EP?

I like the classics from Nas to Ice-T, Cypress to Wu-Tang, Biggie 2Pac. MF DOOM is my 🐐 Nowadays I really like billy woods.

Start with good kid, m.A.A.d city

To Pimp a Butterfly is also good.

I didn't like DAMN a lot personally but it won a Pulitzer so you might like it from a lyricism standpoint based on the artists you listed.
