We are talking about rapping not acting
I put their resumes side by side a few pages ago lol Let me break it down even more:
Biggest/most iconic hit out of the two? Cube
Best diss record? Cube
Best albums? Debatable I prefer Cube, won't argue if you prefer Kendrick
Highest peak? Cube no question
More influential? Cube no question
More longevity? Cube so far, will be tough to catch up for K
Better groups/labels? Ice Cube
Better conscious records? Cube
Better dance/party records? Debatable.
Better storytelling? Draw
Where is Kendrick just vastly superior to Cube? There is no part of him that just clears Cube in ANYTHING and even he'd tell you that lol
Gkmc is about a nerd rapping about how p**** he is of the street life
Imagine that being his debut in the 90s
I dunno if I'd go that far but modern day fans have no idea how much different the rap climate was in the 90s and early 2000s. Lot of the favorites from this era simply wouldn't have even had a chance lol
Cube over Snoop easily for having multiple solo classics, writing for NWA/Lench Mob/WC Connection, and creating the Friday/Barbershop movies and soundtracks too.
Snoop is cool but heavily carried by Doggystyle, both Chronics, and features.
Legend for sure but Snoop is literally the most recognizable rapper (maybe even celebrity) internationally and is synonymous with west coast culture. WAY more impactful.
Im also saying this as a Los Angeles native. Cube gets his respect and he’s top 3 for sure but Snoop is miles ahead

It’s not that far considering the spirit of the era no rapper would respect that kinda energy from a punk kid
Rap fans would laugh at the concept, it was much harder to get by then today survival was the number one instinct
Straight Outta Compton
F*** The Police
Today Was A Good Day
You Know How We Do It
Check Yo Self Remix
I'd argue all those songs are bigger than any Kendrick song bar maybe NLU--and we're already seeing how poorly that track is aging
not even including Wrong N***a To Fuk Wit, Summer Vacation, Wicked, No Vaseline, Gangsta Gangsta, Jackin For Beats, Bop Gun, Smoke Some Weed, Bow Down, Hello etc... like we're talking about Ice Cube here man, not some random MC lol.
Can agree to disagree but just show some respect
Cube was never #1
heavily influential sure but he was never that. Id put Snoop before him
but today its Kendrick and theres no competition

How is NLU aging bad?

2Pac
We still actin' like there is a debate to be had here and acting like it's not just Kendrick Lamar at this point?

in no way, shape, or form did Ice Cube have a greater hip hop peak than Kendrick Lamar
