'oh buh bUT both are good writers BUT kendrick is given way more respect than taylor because taylor is a woman!!'
shut the fuck up. that is just not true and taylor isn't a good songwriter, these people live in la la land just like drake stans istg. they refuse to accept this fact. also the heart part 5 >>>>>>> tswift's entire career
btw in what world is touch me while your bros play grand theft auto or at dinner you take my ring off my middle finger and put it on the one people put wedding rings on a sign of good lyricism. how is this going to make me respect swift as an artist or a writer? like holy shit
For a second i thought u were talking to me and i was a little confused lmao.
I wanna make a few things clear. Whether or not taylor is a good songwriter on her own is subjective, and even though i think she isnt that doesnt mean Im going to say shes objectively bad. She, like all writers, has had her moments both good and bad. (Though id argue she has more mid/bad than good ones)
I will say the misogyny argument against people who say kendrick is better absolutely reeks of racism and general classism. Kendrick doesnt write like a 19th century english baron, he doesnt use the same style as Hozier or Bob Dylan, and so he's only graded as a rapper and not as a lyricist. He is outwardly and proudly a black man whose lyrics and storytelling are often rooted in anti-establishmentarianism and protest, and a lotta folks (especially a ton of swifties) cant stand to see a black man get his flowers, especially for songs that call out systemic racism.
