During this new era of Hip Hop (Rap Music) we have to admit that Drake and KDOT are two of the most interesting MC's. Of course who you like more is all preference. I actually like Drake's early work (Mixtapes, So Far Gone and a few dope tracks here and there) and respect him as an artist. Drake can be very dope when he is inspired. On the other hand, Kendrick Lamar is more of my type MC. He is lyrically very creative and push boundaries in the same vein as Andre 3000, NAS, and Mos Def. Drake, is the LL Cool J and Jay-Z type of MC to a degree. You can't lost either way depending on your preference.
Ok, enough of that. Who do you feel has the better collection of albums between KDOT and Drake? I will go with KDOT because Good Kid, MA.D.D City is better than EVERY Drake album to me. I also love Section 80 a lot. It was lyrically sharp. Drake is a dope MC though, I give him that. When focused he can hang with the best but he can be boring at times. KDOT brings more excitement as an MC. With his new song Humble heating the internet and new album a few hours away, I believe the gap is about to increase even more from my perspective. Check the albums out below.

Drake lost me a few albums ago in terms of full projects. He has a dope song here and their but full projects are average to below average. He found his lane, it's just not my style. Kendrick raised the bar again with songs like "FEEL". Drake tracks don't touch me the same...
I could not listen to Drake's last album more than once. He definately didnt make that album for people that enjoyed his early works. I respect the fact that he is an artist and he is expanding his audience but I cant rock with more than two songs off the album.
I agree that Kendrick's body of work is better than Drake's. This last album is more creative, lyrical, and the production is on point. Damn is solid! The beat in the song "Element" gets the replay on my tracklist! Keep getting them checks!!
