kendrick is a solid artist, but let’s not act like he’s the first to piece rhymes together

Rapping ability – His delivery is probably his weakest point. His voice and tone aren’t very captivating and sometimes sound flat, like he’s rapping from the bottom of a trash can.

Writing – What exactly do you mean by “writing”? It overlaps with concepts and storytelling

Flows – Kendrick isn’t doing anything new lol. Nas, Lupe, Wayne, Black Thought, Em, Cole, and Andre 3K arguably had better flows years ago. Let’s not rewrite history to prop him up

Concepts – Sure, he’s made conceptual albums, but so have others like Lupe. If you think his are better, that’s just your opinion

Cohesive albums – We all heard his latest stuff—it sounds like 10 different versions of NLU. I mean the consensus was this s*** was a mixtape and another one is dropping in 3 MO

Making hits – He’s had hits, no doubt. his biggest one was seven years ago however

Storytelling – If you enjoy his stories, cool. But as a 38-year-old multimillionaire still rapping about stuff he heard in Compton, it can feel played out to most

Diss tracks – Big asterisk here. He made up a fake daughter (AUTO L) weak lines like the Haley Joel Osment bar, and made wild accusations while ignoring real predators around him. Plus, he picked a fight with Drake when the whole industry was already piling on. But the real elephant in the room here is that 2x out of the big 3 have accused bro of botting while hes still pretending

Pop songs – I’ll give him this one; he’s got some pop hits.

Let’s not ignore how much the media and industry have pushed Kendrick. Without all that backing, we might not even be having this conversation. No other rapper—Jay, Ye, Travis, Drake—gets that level of excuse-making blood

for someone of a certain age I imagine he is probably right there tbh & in terms of just classic efforts his trajectory is there, but ain’t nobody f***ing with Ye man

he unfortunately started slowing down like 3 months after he got a claim to the top

Ye is the greatest artist ever in the genre but purely from a rapper ability standpoint Kendrick is the better rapper

he has alot more technical talent than ye for sure, hell he’s more gifted a writer to me to 99.9% of rappers, but Ye is as effective a lyricist as anyone with less conventional skill
