Better lyrically Royce da59 or kendrick

[AlainLocke]

Yes lol and it was nice, but was he not better during The Bar Exam days?
And Joe is nicer Lyrically, Royce easily has him beat on flow and delivery, but bars, metaphors and punches along with painting a picture Joe is easily better.

No...he wasn't better during his Bar Exam days, only the first Bar Exam was dope. The second was trash and third was trash.

The stuff he putting out now is way better. His shyt with Premier and Layers is better than any of that Bar Exam shyt. Even Success is Certain is better.

And no...Joey doesn't have him beat as a rapper in anyway. Royce is just a better rapper than Joey.

So are we talking about when he was putting out better projects or when he was the illest MC? Because I agree on BE3 being trash and yeah id happily listen to Phryme over most his albums but bar wise during bar exam 1 he was fukking unstoppable, not so much now, but still ill as fukk.

And no Royce is not better in every way than Joe lol

Royce is more versatile as a rapper but Kendrick is a much much better artist

Only Bar Exam 1 was on some legendary shyt. The rest was goofy ass bars about nothing.

After he got all those goofy ass bars out, he started back rapping. He still raps like he does on Bar Exam, he just actually says shyt now, instead of just stringing together bars for the sake of stringing together bars. His rhyme schemes and punches are still there.

Royce, but this is a dumb comparison. Both of them are completely different artist. One solely focuses on lyricism and the other focuses on crafting complete bodies of work.

That's not true...Royce been together complete bodies of work for a while now.

Royce just isn't a commercial rapper.

 

[NoHalfWay]

How y'all derail this into a Budden vs Royce thing?

Both them nikkas would out bar Kendrick easily

 

[504Slim]

Did you listen to Layers...wtf...



Who?

Royce is the most talented rapper in Slaughterhouse

Cough *Joell Ortiz* cough

Yeah but he isn't on Kendrick's level when it comes to that. Just like Kendrick isn't on Royce's level when it comes to lyricism.

Ok I feel you, I was just using BE1 as the pinnacle cos I still think he was rhyming at his best on that project, back on topic I'm thinking Kendrick because some of his verses have impressed me more than royces over the last couple years, now if they both were put on a track together and told to rap to the best of their ability then I might take an L on this one...maybe.

I kinda agree, but Crookeds bars can be corny as fukk sometimes, I'd say Royce and Joe are more diverse than Joell too.

I agree with Crooked but Joell and Joe can do it all on any kind of song royce on an R&B song doesn't mesh well
