iHype, you basically saying The Heist is a better album than Nothing was the Same and GKMC because it outsold both of the album WW and Macklemore is a better rapper.
Fearless is the most awarded country album in history FEARLESS is the only album in history to win the all-genre Album of The Year GRAMMY, plus Country Album of the Year Awards from the GRAMMYs, the Country Music Association, the Academy of Country Music and the American Music Awards.
FEARLESS, released in 2008, has won every album award in the country music genre, and was named all-genre Album of the Year at the 2010 GRAMMY Awards. Taylor, who turned 20 in December, was the youngest artist in history to win the music industry's coveted top prize and she is also the award's first-ever solo female country winner, and the first solo female winner in more than a decade. Taylor wrote or co-wrote every song on FEARLESS.

I didn't say album sales = the better album. I'm dragging his (Kendrick's) album sales because it shows how much an underperformance and frontloaded event his era was. All this 'acclaim' and 'rave' yet the entire public forgot about his album after the first 2-3 weeks, and are no longer concerned with it or any of it's singles. It's the same way you drag Jason's album sales, because nobody cares about his eras and none of them are events.
Things fearless did for taylor
-make her the top digital artist in US history with over 25m sales (check) at the time

-most awarded country album (check)
-The #1 and #2 positions atop Nielsen's BDS 2009 Top 10 Most Played Songs chart (all genres), with "You Belong With Me" and "Love Story"
and neither topped radio songs, the longevity was insane
-The #1 spots on both the 2009 Top 10 Artist Airplay chart (all genres)

-Youngest AOTY winner ever
-two songs with over 48 weeks in the hot 100
the final nail in her oversized coffin will come soon as this song fails to do half of Good For You numbers. I can see her clenching a jaw for the first time in her life not for chewing food but out of anger that she is DONE.
My debate was who album is better and my opinion was Kendrick's. Drake appeal to more than the the Hip Hop audiences and while Kendrick appeal to the urban audience. Plus Drake is way more mainstream than Kendrick. Kendrick is a better rapper than Drake, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that.
