I think Drake vs. Kendrick is also a battle of quality vs. quantity. I am not taking away from any of Drake’s accomplishments or stats; however, he has been putting out an album every 6-18 months for the last 10+ years. 

Kendrick taking gaps between his albums is what fuels the revisionist narrative that Kendrick JUST started making hits. Kendrick BEEN giving us hits. He just takes his time and lays low between projects.
