CKendrick Lamar, the Paul George of GOAT conversations.
CThat's the tweet. I want to hear the logic.
LOkay, I hate how much that makes sense.
LPaul George is elite. Sometimes unstoppable. Then he disappears in the fourth quarter.
CAnd Kendrick's fourth quarter is... the Grammys? The Super Bowl? His best work drops and then nobody hears from him for three years.
LNo, no, the comparison is about consistency in GOAT debates.
LBoth are always in the room. Neither is ever the final answer.
CThat's harsher than I expected from you.
LI'm being objective! Kendrick's run since Section.80 is absurd. But if you're making Mount Rushmore, someone always says 'what about Hov, what about Nas, what about Tupac.'
CAnd if you're ranking current NBA forwards, someone always says 'what about Tatum, what about Giannis, what about LeBron.'
LExactly! Perpetual nominee, never the undisputed winner.
CI think that undersells Mr. Morale. That album closes the case for a lot of people.
LYou're a fan, I get it. But the Paul George tweet didn't say he's bad. It said he's the guy who's always in the conversation.
CRight, and Paul George has zero rings. Kendrick has seventeen Grammys and a Pulitzer.
LKendrick has a Pulitzer because he's a generational writer. Paul George has no rings because he keeps running into LeBron. Different ladders, same ceiling.
CAgree to disagree. But I'll say this for the tweet: it's the first Kendrick comparison in weeks that isn't about Drake.
LSpeaking of which, someone on X just said Drake is 'the type of evil a woman can be.'
CThat's not a music take, that's a therapy session.
LBig Hass posted it, and listen, I'm not saying I agree, but I understand why some people find his whole thing hard to explain.
CYou understand 'evil a woman can be'? What does that even mean?
LPassive aggression! Subtle jabs! The quiet attack that makes you look crazy when you react.
CSo Drake is evil in a 'shady but polite' way? That's just called being from Toronto.
LOkay, that's fair. But the post is more about fan exhaustion than anything Drake actually did.
CThe fan war has jumped the shark. We're not even critiquing music anymore. Just vibes and grudges.
LAnd somehow it still moves records. Anyway, somewhere in the timeline, someone compared Taylor Swift to Humpty Dumpty.
