Who gon have the bigger career, Jay Elec or Kendrick Lamar?

Nah Son · May 2012

Both got big names an labels behind them and the respect from the hip hop audience but they might not be the most marketable dudes out there...

In terms of impact, critical acclaim, album sales and crossing over to mainstream, who you got?

kendrick appeals to a much wider audience with his music, plus he's a lot younger.

kendrick, seein as how jay elec drop 1 song every 3 years

Monizzle14 · May 2012

jay elec doesn't have a career he has 3 offically released singles and a half dozen mixtape songs over 2 decades that don't count as a career tho. Kendrick actually releases shit on a regular basis while still not over saturating the market with his music bringing quality. Jay E got talent...he just don't have a career like kendrick.

Kendrick, Electronica been a floater too long...

BlackGerald · May 2012

Kendrick Lamar

SlickestR · May 2012

Kendrick Lamar

Jay Elect hasn't dropped a song to attract the fans... yet..

the_focused_one · May 2012

Been waiting on Jay Elect as long as Papoose... Pretty much given up on him as having a "career"...

Kendrick for the win.

ROZAYTABERNACLE · May 2012

Kendrick by a landslide.

ThaCerealKilla · May 2012

Lamar, he actually makes more than 2 songs a year

NothingButTheTruth · May 2012

Jay Elec is already doing his thing overseas from what I've heard, so my answer is Elec. Plus Lamar is pretty average to me.

Kendrick, duh... Jay Elec fucked up by signing to Roc Nation.

soufside.supastar · May 2012

i respect jay elec for not oversaturatin tha game droppin a song every week. wish more rappers would do tha same..

i honestly dont think either will have a very good mainstream career but kendrick is younger so his might be better..

people also say kendrick fucked up by signing to aftermath. I don't think it's the label that will be elec's downfall though. its his lack of material mostly

yeah i rap so don't · May 2012

yea, I was told Kendrick will have hit records.

_Menace_ · May 2012

Kedrick is much younger and has the support of the West Coast.
and Dre and Game.

Hes more popular than Jay. He just needs to stop being a feature rapper and make some hit singles and drop and album.

Aftermath has been hit and miss but when they hit they usually hit hard. I'm not expecting Kendrick to have a tier 1 career but he will get a release and push. The difference between Kendrick and artists like Bishop Lamont and Stat Quo is Kendrick made his own huge buzz as opposed to Dre just discovering him.

But yea, Jay Elect is taking his sweet time way too much. I'm patient and everything but god damn. I've been a fan since 2007. It's ridiculous.

OceanState · May 2012

Kendrick...hes got a good following and unlike Jay E there IS and ACTUALLY WILL BE MUSIC available

andre_1024 · May 2012

Kendrick, he'll definitely be more popular and will probably have more critical acclaim too..

CashmoneyDux · May 2012

Jay Electronica is in my top and all but K.Dot's career will be much better...Jay takin too long to release music

Lou Cypher · May 2012

Kendrick definitely. Kendrick is more likely to dumb his shit down to appeal to a bigger audience as well.

GeE-757 · May 2012

KENDRICK...

theycallmeboom · May 2012

Kendrick will have more success. Jay Elec too busy in london instagraming pics of hallways and balconies

Nah Son · May 2012

Yall sleepin on Elec tho my man might be cookin up a classic as we speak

Yamoley · May 2012

that lazy old nigga JE isn't gonna have a career due to his poor work ethic....I never heard a Kendrick Lamar song or care to, but I'd place all my chips on him to have a solid 15 mins of fame....
time out, isn't this nigga on Aftermath? If so, then his career is fucked too....lol
fuck it, its a toss up
