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?
Can you give me three rappers in your S tier for context
King Los
Daylyt
Charles Hamilton
Anyone who puts him in S-tier is smoking meth and D***
Don't knock it until you try it, jussayin

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
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

I think songwriter is what he personally admitted is his strongest skill above all else

Lmaoo right niggas in here talking about “hit making ability” like it’s a technical rap skill 💀

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
he has S tier moments (Deep Pockets, Gold Roses, Tuscan Leather) but it’s rare. you can tell he has to dumb his s*** down for his fans cus they not tryna hear raps fr
