    1. drake is the whole show kendrick nerdmar is just an opening act for drake. Kendrick is a nobody compared to drake and u nerds need to get that through your big heads.

      1. Drake is good but he will never come close to having raw lyrics and hit making abilities as well as an impeccable taste for beats like Rick Ross.

        And that’s why Rick Ross will always be a top tier rapper in the industry. He’s much more low key, classy, and doesn’t pull ridiculous publicity stunts like the one pictured above. Name another rapper who:
        1)has 6 number one albums
        2)wins a feud with a formerly famous Queens rapper.
        3)crashes his whip into a building and come out unscathed
        4)owns a multimillion dollar restaurant franchise
        5)was voted MTV’s hottest emcee twice.
        6)cancels his shows because gang members have the gall to threaten him because they’re afraid of the harm he’ll bring them

    2. Unlike Kendrick Lame-Ar, Rick Ross raps from his heart & soul. Ross is widely considered the husky, thugged out version of Drake.

      1. You got that backwards. K-Dot is the one rapping from his heart and soul. Ross is not like Drake at all.

    3. Drake’s last iHeart performance on New Year’s was HORRIBLE

      and get off of Rozay’s nuts teethboy

    4. Lots of reasons not to watch this shit. And who are these dudes commenting saying Drake and Ross are good rappers? All these dudes are the worst. All the Young Money fools are an embarrassment to rap. Bottom line is, if you a dude, and you listen to YM, then you got a puss. Straight up.

      1. Let me break it down for you because you’re obviously too slow to comprehend Ross’ greatness. If there were ever a contest involving quality vs quantity, then Ross pretty much overshadows Ken doll in terms of quality. I don’t hear Ross wanting to kill his mother, or make poppy songs that cater to bitches, thereby sounding awkward, or drowning in a pool full of liquor. Ross is the definition of hip hop. Ken doll is a gimmicky hobbit puppet who lets others pull the strings.

      2. Both the Ross stan and dentalboy are just copy-pasting old comments. K-Dot obviously beats Ross in terms of quality music. He doesn’t talk about killing people, he doesn’t make poppy songs, and he doesn’t talk about drowning in a pool of liquor. You got that last thing backwards. Kendrick doesn’t rhyme about being a big-time drug kingpin and he didn’t lie about his past like Ross did.

      3. LOL this idiot REALLY believes that Kendrick was literally talking about a pool of liquor. That song was about the effects of alcoholism. Ever heard of metaphors?

        “Do you listen to music or do you just skim through it”

    5. Ross and drake are obviously terrific. Ross has 5 no.1 albums while your anti police hero, dr dre has none. Dr dre can’t even get an album out after 15 years. Drake is the next prince.

      1. You’re worn about everything. Drake and Ross are not terrific. Dre has platinum albums, Ross doesn’t.

      2. Forbes Ross:

        2009 – 6 mill
        2010- 5 mill
        2011 – 6 mill
        2012 – 9 mill
        2013 – 6 mill

        According to Forbes Ross has made 33 million off rap without having to go platinum and his 4 Gold albums from 2006-2014 puts him in the top teir with his peers because he sells more than 99% of his peers and makes more money than 99% of his peers.

      3. Yet dre only went platinum when his peers were going diamond in the 90s. He didn’t even have one no. 1 album and the singles he released for detox bombed badly so he had to shelve his album. Ross had 5 no.1 albums and went gold at a time where rappers are struggling to go gold (that time is right now)

      4. Wrong again. Dre still went platinum, regardless. It’s easy to have a #1 album when you release it in a week where there’s no major competition. Also, the Detox singles did not bomb at all. Ross got started when artists were still going platinum, so that’s no excuse.

      5. Ross still went no.1 and dr Dres singles bombed. If they didn’t, detox would be out. Also, your other hero, k dot never went no.1. Drake is the next prince. Also, it was easy going platinum in the 90s than now. Eminem, a white artist that sells more than blacks, helped put too.

      6. Nope. None of Dre’s singles bombed, he had one in the Top 40 and another one went 2X platinum. It ain’t about going to #1, it’s about the numbers and, again, it’s easy going to #1 when you release your shit when there’s no big competition. K-Dot sold well considering that he released his shit the same week as Taylor Swift, he still had the #1 rap album.

    6. Interscope is so diappointed in Kendrick’s current sales that they’re forcing him to do every show he can find. Tommorow he’s doing a funeral, a fair, and a string of dive bars.

      1. Nope, Interscope is satisfied with Kendrick selling 1.2 million, considering that most rappers now struggle to sell gold. He’s doing shows because he wants to, not because he has to.

      2. If Interscope is disappointed with Kendrick’s sales, then I wonder how they feel about Chief Keef and French Montana’s sales?

    7. Jay Z took a huge L by co-signing Kendrick. The only reason Jay Z has any fans left is because he signed Rick Ross.

      1. Rick Ross is keeping these rappers alive with his greatness. Diddy would be irrelevant if he didn’t have Ross to stand by and write his raps. Same goes for Meek Mill, Wale and French Montana. Even Nas has turned to Rick Ross to get the streets interested in his boring ass raps.

      2. Dre has Kendrick, Ross has Meek Mill, Wale, Fat Trel, Stalley, Rockie Fresh, Omarion, French Montana, Tracy T, Gunplay, Torch etc. Talk about a winning team. Dre just needs to retire and let the youngins flex.

      3. Kendrick is an ARTIST, compared to ‘Ross’ aka William Roberts is an ACTOR. F*CK THAT! U on Fat Boy’s payroll or something?! William ‘Officer Ricky – Fake Rick Ross’ Roberts is the BIGGEST FRAUD IN HIP HOP HISTORY & a one trick, no talent BLOWHARD! Go suck on your daddy’s flabby man boobs & get the f*ck outta here with dat BULLSH*T on this nicca doin’ ANYTHING but degrade the culture, push some wack azz BS & influence thousands of your men to sell drugs because THIS FAKE glorifies it in those WACK ‘siongs’ of his! TIME FOR REAL TALENT!

    9. If you really want something original to add to your album collection, then I suggest you go cop that new Mastermind, available now in stores and on iTunes. It’s truly a classic with no filler, no skits, all originality. Ross proves to us that he has a far greater penchant for picking beats than Nas’. Hopefully, when Ross reaches another couple decades in the game, he’ll hire some up-and-coming producer to create “Port of Miami – 20 year anniversary”, the shit will be an even bigger classic than it is today #bawse

      1. F*CK THAT! U on Fat Boy’s payroll or something?! William ‘Officer Ricky – Fake Rick Ross’ Roberts is the BIGGEST FRAUD IN HIP HOP HISTORY & a one trick, no talent BLOWHARD! Go suck on your daddy’s flabby man boobs & get the f*ck outta here with dat BULLSH*T on this nicca doin’ ANYTHING but degrade the culture, push some wack azz BS & influence thousands of your men to sell drugs because THIS FAKE glorifies it in those WACK ‘siongs’ of his! TIME FOR REAL TALENT!

      Jimmy is happy with Montana’s sales, but thinks Keef needs more guidance.
