I need both Kendrick and Mach to somehow link wit each other in whatever cave they respectively record In

If Q can link with Mach, I think it could happen
Nas is also a better story teller and has better content
Eh
Part of storytelling is getting ideas across to a wide audience in a way that draws them in and GKMC is one of the all-time great storytelling albums
Maybe Nas is better as a storyteller but it's close
Content quality is subjective
Kendrick is massively overrated in the grand scheme of things, and of course he’s not on Nas level, but he’s probably the best artist of this last generation and will probably be in the top 10-20 discussion when all is said and done
“Massively overrated” is insane when Nas doesn’t even freestyle
Wish we could just stop the x is better than y and just enjoy the music
TBH. The comparison s***s are for the Gen X oldheads
Kendrick is a top 10 lyricist from all aspects of a rapper:
Storytelling, freestyles / cyphers, entendres, hit records, flows, etc.
Jay Z is a better lyricist than Kanye but Kanye made better music.
Being a better lyricist does not mean you're a better artist.
That's why nobody tryna listen to battle rappers albums.
When you’re comparing someone to one of the great ever, ofc most won’t compare
But that doesn’t mean Kendrick isn’t extremely talented as an MC

I’m not sure what the ones got to do with the other, but tbh even true “off the dome” freestyles will have pre thought of bars and the true true ones are mostly meh. I’ve seen a few people that have impressed me with true off the top of their head s*** and I wouldn’t put Kendrick (or Nas) in that category. And the people who are in that category aren’t really artists that are capable of putting a coherent album together
