Kanye is to Kendrick what the Velvet Underground were to the

Nah, Shabazz Palaces is that to Kendrick, not Kanye. Kanye doesn't do actual experimentation, just takes bits and pieces from elsewhere similar to the Beatles actually. Shabazz Palaces have now gone into a realm of hip hop experimentation that's on its own level.

SP is irrelevant

Only white nerds listen to them

TVU was irrelevant, too when they first came out. Took them years just to sell 10k copies of their first record.

They both love bananas?

If we're taking timeline into consideration then Kanye is The Beatles and Kendrick is TVU.

Not as good, yes.

So...nothing? The Velvet Underground had no impact on The Beatles.

So like how TVU were way better than The Beatles? Yeah I agree.

But Kanye is the Beatles, he's the super mainstream one that everyone on earth knows. Kendrick is the lesser known one that has a cult following and only just now breaking into the mainstream.

GKMC was #2 on Billboard. He hasn't been a cult following artist since at least Section80

I am pretty sure Kanye is more popular than Kendrick and I am also pretty sure that The Beatles were/are more popular than TVU
