I wasn't trolling shyt and I been gave Joey his props for pressing the issue.

I LOVE east coast rap. I miss when NY was the mecca of Hip Hop and yearn for a resurgence.

But Ab-soul is, has and will be a better rapper than Joey, Not to say he couldn't come with a better rebuttal I don't have to shyt on Ray, Joey, Chick or anybody that jumped into the pit to say this was the best track I heard so far.
Yea Soul is on Kendrick level lyrically....if not better on some songs.

Soul>>>>Kendrick as a lyricist, but not as a songwriter IMO


Its gonna ruffle some feathers when I say it, but Punch is a better lyricist than Kendrick.

edit: before I get crucified, look at it in R&b terms (I don't mean you, @Peter Popoff ). A super duper lyrically dense R&B singer would go double wood. Gotta know how to write a song.

Better rapper, not a better song writer.

Kendrick:
I'ma Isrealite, don't call me black no mo
That word is only a color, it ain't facts no mo


Ab-Soul:
Back to the reality, sadly I'm actually Jewish
Or Jew-wish to call me, I don't wanna offend nobody
Just remind em all, that It's real (Isreal)

Like where the ark of the covenant is still

That's them basically saying the same thing, in their own way and Soul is just way more layered and witty by a decent margin.

Dot himself would probably tell you that Soul is more of a wordsmith.

They both admitted to being Israelites?

It's wild when we get called anti semitic for knowing our lineage.

So you admit Kendrick won now.
:wow:

SZA and Doechii winning. Better argument is all the dudes on TDE are losing to some degree now. Albums delayed until your buzz dies, nonstop behind the scenes drama, drug abuse, accidents, etc.

Q was doing streams and using social media effectively until somebody told him not to. Ab had underground buzz and then disappeared for years. Jay Rock dropped his most popular album and then disappeared with next to Mo features. Zay dropped a solid comeback album and then disappeared. It happens way too much not to notice.

Yep they did. No surprise it was articles calling him anti-semetic before he even dropped Euphoria.

The issue is, you unravel that one lie and the whole ball of yarn comes undone.
