I mean he definitely was to me
Was a huge q stan from 2014-2016. Probably my favorite rapper, i had never heard an mc as charismatic but then I realized as i got into more rap that there was a whole tradition of rappers who played with their voice
that’s how i remember it. q was much more approachable while k was mostly appreciated by nerds
If you give Q the same level of production value and cohesion as Kendrick, Q comes out on top
They literally have the same in-house producer and connections lmao
Also, undermining the value of one album to value another on its 10th anniversary (especially when they’re friends) is weird to me
Like niggas must've not been their 2012-2014 to witness that s***, but the consensus really was that Q was the best on TDE
NIggas f***ed with Kendrick ofc, but Q??? Q was that guy at the time
he said DAMN is the best kendrick album this automatically invalidates all his writing sorry

Maybe during the TPAB period but there was real hits from GKMC that people were playing outside. Not some nerd music that casuals didn’t appreciate.
Oxy really did go tf up during that period though.

fr & it’s not as if they’re in competition with one another either, never got any competitive vibes like that. they have nothing but respect for one another so this makes it feel even weirder IMO
Idk why he downs himself like this 😕
Habits to blank face run one of the most solid releases of early 2010s era

Damn.
No pun intended

i don't get the point you're tryna make here cause it's not on some KTT s*** where bro is some 30 year old white guy lol

There was competition but it never on some weirdo bitter energy like this article. They were just having fun.

He can't do as much with it. Kendrick's core strength is how he uses someone like Ali to their full capacity as an engineer.
Q next album gonna be a classic, I can just feel it
Those 4 songs he previewed off his twitch was already better than the entirely of Crash Talk. He knew he fumbled the ball a little bit when he made that album and now he's gonna redeem himself 100%

Kendrick fans insecure about someone having a different opinion on their fav
hate to see it

That’s major cap. Kendrick always been the Top Dawg of Top Dawg.
It’s revisionist history to say otherwise.

Why you mad? All I did was provide a picture of the grown man calling people “nerds” for liking a rapper’s songs.
It wasnt
It LITERALLY was lmao
I'm very confident if I were to ask niggas that time, they woulda said Q
Q was brought up and played way more than him lol. No one is debating quality or whatever crap y'all tryna revisionist now

I look at it more as him displaying humbleness & showing respect tbh. he’s not knocking his own music or talent, but just recognizing how successful Kendrick is commercially and critically
