gotta go with Royce, been listening to him for years. let's not forget he's basically the only one who Em couldn't answer to when it came to diss records

Kendrick aint even that good of a lyricist.

The only things hes somewhat a threat in is Multis, and alliteration.

Simile, metaphor, punchlines,etc guy is not even good.

It's a good debate though... lol

Not to me.

Rigamortis is probably the only example I can think of where he showed any kind propensity to keep up with somebody in Royce weight class and that's rare for him. You can say he's a better "artist" or song writer if you like but Royce has dope songs too. They are equally adept at what they are good at. Put them on a beat together though and he will wish that nikka 8/10.

Best artist = Joe Budden
Best Rhymer = Royce
Most bars= Crooked I
Most Diverse= Joel

This is almost on point.

Best Artist = Joe Budden...best discography by far, but will be trailing Crooked and Royce lyrically. Every song that's worth a shyt beyond dope bars is because of Joey (truth or truth, say dat den)
Best Rhymer = Crooked...bar for bar he's going to be front running the majority....he the most one dimensional out of everybody though.
Most Versatile = Royce...he's easily the most well rounded, good projects, bars, cross over appeal and ability to do different types of songs.
Most Balanced = Joell...he's gonna be middle of the pack in everything. Not as one dimensional as crooked, can hold his own with the bars, can make songs too but nowhere near as dynamic as any of them.

Royce been my favorite rapper for the past 10 years. I came in here expecting most people to say Kendrick, but that's not so :ehh:

Royce takes this. Now that he's sober he's even more lethal than usual. Prhyme, trust the shooter and layers were all great efforts.

Y'all go fetch
And this is all from me being barked on
Now ya dog gone and I'ma doggone vet

K Dot stans are delusional. I can take or leave Royce (though he's much better since sobering up) but he's light years ahead of Pretendrick with the pen.
