However, they’ve also had wildly different trajectories while Kendrick has gone from government assistance in Compton, California to be one of hip-hop’s most critically-acclaimed and commercially successful artists (see above, re: Pulitzer), Kodak has faced a number of legal issues and pop culture controversies for everything from illegally purchased guns to sexual assault. Both were selected for XXL‘s Freshman Class (Kendrick in 2011, Kodak in 2016), and both frequently address the harsh conditions young Black men often face in the US, from poverty and violence to the institutionalization of the prison system. Tell your boo, to never sweat these words: Even when the sky comes falling/Even when the sun. If your chosen one is someone you intend to be with unconditionally, this song is the right one to dedicate to them.
The two rappers do share some commonalities. Miguel’s Sure Thing is a now classic love song, where he uses several metaphors to promise to love his girl in so many ways. Kodak really up there with Kendrick lyrically but y’all don’t wanna hear it tho
