    Do you think you might be conflating subject matter with technical ability?

    Kendrick certainly has heavier subjects and creates more thematically consistent albums but in terms of technical ability I’d say they are 1A and 1B on the hall of fame list

    plz stop

    Nope not at all

    I am very aware of every aspect of technical ability. Been listening to rap for well over 2 decades. Drake is very very good but Kendrick is a better rapper than Drake, period

    This is a good point and I think a lot of people make that mistake

    Just for the sake of conversation, would you include the ability to craft melodies as part of technical ability?

    Sure I’ll give him that, Drake is amazing at that. I credit him and Cudi really for bringing melodic flows to the rap game.

    He’s still not touching Kendrick tho man lol

    Kendrick’s rhyme schemes, cadences, timing, ability to change pace on a dime, abstract wordplay, creative use of his voice, his imagery, the level of emotion in his delivery, and yes the way he’s able to string all that together to convey powerful messages is all time great

    Kendrick is literally one of the most talented rappers to ever live bro

  • May 10, 2022

    He's S tier

  • May 10, 2022

    Other rappers have great subject matter but at the end of the day its lyrical miracle. They can't craft rap hits with ease like drizzy. He only needs the right combination of like 4 or 5 words to make an anthem

    Would put him one level below S tier from a technical sense.
    But as a songwriter and as a versatile artist he’s S tier

    This exactly how I see it

    A tier rapper
    S tier artist when you factor in his other musical talents

    Well in his prime he was S tier

    Now he a A tier rapper and artist to be real
