JUST this year? It's undoubtedly between Drake, Kendrick, and Cole. Hard choice, but if I HAD to choose...... Nah, I honestly can't. It's Drake, Kendrick, and Cole.
j-cole always have deep videos lol, and basically, if you think about it guys,
its who have the hype to estimate there future years in the light, sorry but drake lost that two years ago, now its people like kendrick and j cole time to "take over", we can estimate drake numbers, but can we guess Kendrick?!!! thats the point
You misplaced your yu-gi-oh cards nigga, or...? Drake established himself as the leader of the new school and ain't nobody take that away from him
yet. Not even close, either.
EDIT:
I'm talking who left a mark in your mind the most, and by that I mean consider the ENTIRE year.
Thought about it more, and it's Drake. Sure, Kendrick had the Control verse that pretty much stirred up the rap game along with pretty much all the Hip Hop fans around the world, but that's really it. I mean, he got a few features in, a nice cypher, and some grammy nominations, but that's not saying very much. J Cole dropped 2 EP's, arguably his best album thus far, and even got a rap legend Nas to remix his song in response, but after that...? Nothing. The question was, who consistently left a mark in your mind throughout the entire year, and in my opinion, that was Drake. Drake dropped a damn near classic of an album, DOMINATES radio play, grammy nominations, dropped hit after hit after hit records throughout the year, one of the most streamed artists of 2013 along with Jay and Em, Versace Versace Versace Versace, got features with Jay, Beyonce, Justin Timberlake... Like the list goes on and on throughout the course of the entire year.... I've said it multiple times on this forums and I'll say it again because niggas hate on him for stupid reason; Drake is running shit! Stop sleeping.
