"tried to invalidate Marvin Gaye's original copyright on 'Got to Give it Up'."

I think both are self-aware; just where Kendrick filters his artistic output through the internal, Kanye pushes outward and demands we confront our own relationships with race, celebrity, etc.

It's tomato/potato all over again!
