Truth is: Hov has touched the culture for more than having timeless projects. Y’all can bring up critical acclaim or awards all you’d like but Hov’s status isn’t limited to that. Not many rappers have more songs or quotables to bring the culture together and stand as landmarks of the entire genre of hiphop
So as much of a GOAT as Kenny is, with his own stamp on the game - including a few things Hov didn’t do - the answer is a resounding
Couldnt say it better
Word.
Jay not even better than Nas.
I like 4:44 but it's crazy how Nas has multiple "4:44's" in his catalog but casual rap fans don't give a damn.
I don't agree but then again I still don't believe Kenny better than Jay-Z
I just think Reasonable Doubt and Blueprint are incredibly overrated and only mentioned now to seem cool and/or in touch with the culture.
Lmfao or because they two of the best rap albums ever?

Casual rap fans dont care bout 4:44 either lol
Rap fans give Nas his props, people talk very good about Life is Good

Actually Kendrick might actually be Jay since he is the 2nd best selling rapper like how jay also always was
btw this is a good thread, good debate. KTT as it should be not a bunch of nonsense.
Mr. Morale is gonna be amazing, I'm definitely in the camp that believes Kendrick's best work is ahead of him.

No lies here though
Whats the consensus for whats the better trilogy of classics
RD, Blueprint and The Black Album or GKMC, TPAB and Damn
For me, Jay easy Also, we all agree that American Gangster is better than Damn right?

Jay was top selling in 2006

DAMN. is definitely way better than AG imo.

Not really lol taken into account how exaggerated he is on this site
Its his comeback album that tremendous & most of his usual peers didnt drop that year
Same thing could be said about Damn then in 2017 & kendrick is just now hitting his 10 year mark

Kendrick my nigga but yea…
This a good point too.
Jay is more than an artist
Kendrick may surpass him musically, but not as a figure and icon

Kanye also only has 1 year he’s highest selling and many would consider him untouchable
Also every Kendrick album is a come back album lol
No it isnt lol this is literally his first hiatus
Gkmc 2012, tpab 2015, damn 2017
Then od 2010, sxn80 2011, uu 2016 & bp 2018
Bro literally was consistent until damn/bp
Kanye also only has 1 year he’s highest selling and many would consider him untouchable
Most people arent saying kanye was the literal number 1 running s*** endlessly lol
Kanye is usually talked about his artistry, when jay is "popularity" (eben tho there was always someone above him 99 percent of the time) & s*** outside of music
