Kendrick Lamar Appreciation Thread

Is Kendrick currently the best rapper alive?

Only person who is a better rapper than Kendrick right now is Jay Elect. but he never drops music so..

Kendrick >>>

Gangsta Gibbs at a very close 3rd.

We shouldn't forget about Nas though!



Kendrick / Jay E
Nas
Gibbs

No, but a top tier mainstream rapper atm.

Who's better?

Jay E shouldn't even be in the discussion...he'd prollly be as good or better than Kendrick if he ever dropped music more often but until then nah..specially when Dot just dropped a near perfect album

[IceMan]

lololol where is Spitta?

how is Spitta in the same league as the guys I mentioned lol?

gotta give him props for making these 2 legendary feature verses happen though

Spitta is better than Jay-E & Nas imo

his lyrics are dope, his flow is on point, he hasn't released any average tape this year

album can't be perfect with that shitty hit-boy beat


Jay E is a great rapper though, i mean we all know he's one of the most passive rappers ever but the talent & skill is still there

song serves its purpose on the album tho, its kinda supposed to be wack lol prolly why Kendrick chose that wack beat..I like it tho

I agree Jay E has the talent, wish he'd use it

how the fuck is spitta better than jay e or nas lol

Nas dropped one hell of an album after being in the game for over 20 years...

And does Curren$y have any outstanding tracks like Jay Electronica's Exhibit A/C

or

his way of rapping is pretty abstract though, some prolly hate it lol


but I still think this is not even up for discussion

I agree Jay E has the talent, wish he'd use it

should've made it a skit...and maybe make it sound like he was really in the back of a car freestyling...and over some old school Premo or Pete Rock, would be way better lol...just a simple beat & not that annoying noise-loop shit hit-boy always does

Who's better?

IMO:

Lupe
Mos
Black Thought
DOOM
Aesop Rock
Nas
Rakim
3 Stacks
Big Boi

Kendrick's good though, but I think these cats and a few others I may have forgotten are better.

Am I the only one here who likes Backseat Freestyle? I mean, it's not that bad
