If Kanye retired after Yeezus we would never have this discussion, which proves how little sense it makes. His old work isn't suddenly invalidated by whatever controversies he exists within now
Yeah but it is top 5 and like I said u cant talk rap
Remove that RDC avy nigga Mark Phillips would never
I been listening longer than u b
Yall bringing up Drake raises a good point. Why has Kanye singled out Drake as his biggest competition and not Kendrick? Everytime Kanye has an episode Drake gets brought up. He even told Taylor Swift that Drake raps better than him. He's never competing with Kendrick
Because Kendrick isnt trying to make that type of music

And there it is. The pivot to a Drake d***riding thread
This writing all by yourself?
Yeah he wrote the songs and then had other people perform vocals and instruments. The references are out there
Drake stans and writing credits don't exactly get along though so I understand any confusion you may have

The comeback was set up so easily that im pretty sure he did it on purpose
Less duds sure but the highs and consistency of Ye’s early catalogue is several steps above kendrick
Kendrick’s major label debut is widely regarded as the greatest debut since Illmatic cant get much higher than that

"Yall bringing up Drake"
Lame ass losers saying I can’t talk rap because I don’t gargle the d***s of every big name rapper
I been listening since Public Enemy, it takes more than surface level internet rhetoric for somebody to be truly great in my eyes

1. Instruments would get you credit for production before songwriting.
2. Hella writers credited didn't contribute any vocals to the songs
Crazy how Kendrick dropped two of the greatest and most significant rap albums ever let alone the 2010s back to back
And niggas have the audacity to slander this man
You don't think Ye has done this? I'm not a fan of Yeezus but I can acknowledge it's place in hip-hop people loved that album. The run from MBDTF + Yeezus + TLOP brought a new generation of fans to Ye's music
Kendrick’s major label debut is widely regarded as the greatest debut since Illmatic cant get much higher than that
Now do it 6 times in a row

if youve been listening to rap since PE then youd be able to see that what Kendrick is doing may not be replicated by another rapper for years if not ever
I was thinking about this last night when I came to the realization that Mr. Morale is better than Donda 1 and 2 but that got me thinking has Ye done anything since 2010 that can hold a candle to Kendrick? KSG is up there but not much else. Who has more classic?
I know they’re probably cooking you but IMO he’s the closest one and will get there eventually if he continues to put out heat like he is but the only thing he’s missing is a genre bending album like 808s
Excruciatingly boring. Good Kid is to this day one of the worst beats I’ve ever heard Pharrell do (until that pots and pans beat on Mr Morale)
And art of peer pressure is absolutely boring. It’s a pure storytelling track that only works as part of the album. On its own, it’s got nothing interesting as a song
If the story telling aspect works as part of the album then how is that a knock against the entire album? Do you only listen to albums or music on shuffle? The interesting aspect of the song is the story being told.

"Surface level internet rhetoric" GKMC has been on the Billboard charts for a decade straight The album clearly connects with people, you're in the minority with your trash ass opinion

Comparing Kendrick to his peers, I fully understand his impact and I’m not denying that.
Comparing him to past greats? That’s a whole other talking point

I still remember when people on here said T-Pain was doing 808s before 808s lol
Even Chuck D gave Kendrick his flowers @CloudyDreams
