I was thinking of who would beat kdot in a rap beef, and I don't believe anyone exists including past legends. 2pac or biggie just don't have the lyricism to match, and Nas just doesn't have the mainstream appeal, although there would be rap fans claiming he won on a technicality because of some triple entendre.

J Cole was smart to duck out the way tbh

Discuss.

Big would be tough to kill

I know they would never beef but it'd be cool to see Kendrick and Chance clash

05 Wayne

If Biggie was alive Kendrick would be working at McDonald's

2pac was impossible to beat because he had too much energy & personality which is Kendricks weak point

That’d be a great battle

He’d serve everybody else lol

Biggie wasnt on a crumb man nigga got disrespected so much lol

Chimp1

Respectfully he'd smoke all these niggas especially Wayne and Chance. All 3 have way too much to go at.

Prime 50 Cent would walk Kendrick down
Camron
Of course Jay Z

This is probably one of the better contenders but Jada and Styles absolutely dog walked prime 50 lol

JID is a sleepin giant to me tbh. Dude has bars, flow, hunger, and delivery. I would be afraid to go against him

50 don't have the bars or the creativity to convince the public he bested Kendrick and the gangsta s*** wouldn't really work cause Dot ain't that so it would be looked at as punching down so to speak.

drake

Rx Nephew might serve Kendrick lol

I don't think anyone else could motivate him like that.

I think Lupe on paper could but he'd either go over people's heads too much or miss the mark sonically for most.

Also doesn't have enough star power.

Yea Lupe sonically and musically just aint there

He'd have stupidly good jokes, hard lines, hard tracks but overall Kendrick is a way better MC

Part of what made 50 Cent work is that his persona and presence fit the Gangsta image so well, even when he did tracks for the ladies

pre-Prime Ross damn near beat 50 t(50 was nearly washed by then admittedly)
& he ain't got a chance in hell against Kendrick

• 2Pac

• Prime Eminem (early 2000's)

Those are the only two off top that I can think of that I would pick over Kendrick in a battle.

Only ones I can think of are Lupe, Hov, Push but those battles might be really close

You know what? I think it would take Eminem but he would have to be razor sharp focused and really play into his white fans the right way. No room for any of the corny s*** he is prone to say or do. He'd have to come with that Shady 2.0 Cypher s***.

We've heard what Lupe considers a diss track. No.

gotta give Kendrick his props, even if the misconduct allegations are almost cheating, he executed things perfectly, the only possible nitpicking knock would be the wait for Euphoria, but that's a nitpick
& Euphoria became a prophecy as time went on so who cares

Hov got way too much dirt and s*** to clown on lol if you thought Nas was bad imagine how Kendrick could frame some s***.

Yeah we talking the Em until 05 and then relapse Em, no other eras imo

None of that late career self-parody Eminem

Kendrick would have that nigga sounding like Hitler
