For a person with his stature in current hip-hop I would say yes. Reason being he doesn't take so much from the current sound or underground to the point where it's practically biting/pandering (Drake) and he doesn't strip so much from the contemporary sound were it comes off as rudimentary or cheese (Cole). He for better or worse is able to pick production that fits into the model of what is currently hot while at the same time sounds quintessentially Kendrick.
Swear to god his ear is immaculate. If im wrong im wrong but I think it’s fair to say he leads the category
!https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=q1AOP6NtGucLike cmon. Anyone got him beat?
played this thinking it'd be momma yeah its momma
To me he had his best beat selection on section 80
The sonic never quit hit that level again
Drake and Ross have a better ear for beats than Kendrick. Kendrick is definitely up there too though.
Ye for production and drake for hooks
nah drake has done too many awful hooks lmao
Drake and Ross have a better ear for beats than Kendrick. Kendrick is definitely up there too though.
definitely not drake lmao, he’s mostly been using the exact same kind of production for the past 5 years
He has a very solid ear
I don’t think anyone who heard the HUMBLE. beat and told their engineer to load it up has a great ear though
humble beat is solid wym
damn. proves he doesn't
what you on about?
xxx, DNA, fear, element, duckworth, feel, humble, pride….
f***ing excellent beats
I’m not gonna lie chief, ever since GKMC he has been on some s***ty ass beats
like what? lmao
(and features don’t count)
He has the most variety when it comes to production no doubt, he knows what to do with his beats
There might be some artists out there with good beats like Ross but all his beats have similar sounds and he always approaches his beats the same, s*** gets boring after some time
Kanye
Travis
Drake
Ross
In no specific order and it's not even debatable
Travis and drake have chosen some stinkers before
subpr beat selection.
some of yall just d*** eat slow beats and sample beats
“sample beats” lmao
But no . I think he’s more involved in the musical process than simply selecting beats though
that’s true
Future b****
future has used some terrible beats tbh, but when he hits he definitely hits
No. TPAB proves this.
Drake and Carti still have best production.
to pimp a butterfly’s production is perfect, fym?
