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
Very well said
I know you love doing marathons
But you'd definitely have to full out Usain bolt sprint with this one lmao
Unless the hov representative was just Terrible
I'm strategic as anyone should be when they're up against something formidable. I want to win every time and sometimes you gotta throw in short term to win in long term. But i'm also not stupid. I'm not going to accept a challenge unless I truly feel like I have a good chance of winning. If i lose, i lose. But I at least wanna lose with dignity.
so what all his good rapping is in features? Where are the good raps if not his discography
You're not understanding the difference between a artist who knows how to put together albums and a rapper who has better skill, versatility, lyricism, etc
Andre, Lupe, Jay Electronica, there's a lot of rappers better than Kendrick that don’t have better albums. Kendrick can be a better artist but he's not a better rapper because rap is about skill not critic reviews. I wouldn't put Kendrick on Eminem's technical level let alone near Hov
There's no way you're above the age of fourteen thinking Eminem is better than Kendrick
Kendrick himself would tell you he doesn't surpass HOV. Or Wayne. Or Em.
So no, there's just different tiers out of respect, HOV gon always be #1
He says that in interviews but in his music he’s constantly calling himself the best the saviour etc.

i love kendrick but no, not even close. Jay's impact, hits, classic albums, all eclipse kendrick by a wide margin.
I'm not agreeing this L take but man, I really think the game has been so set up that no one will ever be able to pass HOV for the GOAT debate.
It's even worse than the Jordan s***
He’s already dropped better albums than Hov
He gotta do it for a few decades to pass him tho
Starting to think people who just consider albums for everything are just culture vultures.

There's arguably 2 artists that can stand next to hov.
Whoever popped up in your head is the answer
How so?
Albums is not the only thing worth discussing. There have been several post itt validating those reasons. If albums is the only thing someone can say then it’s no better than working for Pitchfork.
