Can Kendrick actually rap, or is his intricite mumbo jumbo rants OVERRATED?

[Yoda]

Like i can listen to intricite mumbo jumbo rants from Nas - like his verses on 'foul breeze' and he makes it work cuz it sounds like he is drunk off his poetry.


But kendrick is some of the most worthless,, bland, uninspired - Yo life is so deep - rants evar.

agree wit me? yay ? nay? OKAAYYYYYY!!

 

[Karume]

You didn't really say anything worth agreeing or disagreeing with

 

[raoulduke187]

yup, Kendrick is shyt

he sounds like a dude that was a virgin well in his 20's

 

[OfTheCross]

And I'm just not impressed by you nikkas rapping fast
Who sound like one big asthma attack but trash when I’m rapping it back
Who you put in your top five and claim they the savior of rap

 

[Stone]

I think reducing Kendrick’s raps to just him rapping fast does as much a disservice as the people who proclaim him the greatest

What I will say is that in a lot of cases he’s hurt by his voice and other times he uses it to great effect as an extra instrument.

 

[IVS]

I never got the hype.

 

[Thanos]

The recent stuff, yeah sure.

 

[JJ Evans]

A lot of people like to proclaim that Drake has the “machine” behind him, but I can’t remember any rapper ever having more of a push than Kendrick Lamar. The “machine” is truly behind him.

 

[YamakaSmacker]

They say kendrick used to be in the streets. Imagine being victimized by kendrick Lamar

 

[mortuus est]

kendrick can def rap, DAMN is a pretty good album

 

[T.H.E. Goat]

In terms of pure rapping of course he can...damn good too


If you’re not interested in what he’s saying well that’s another story

 

[Victorious Secret]

Anyone saying Kendrick is “shyt” is either a troll or a retard.

He’s obviously talented. He’s not the best lyricist ever, but he’s better than most popular rappers for sure.

Stop baiting, it’s fukking tiresome.

 

[SuburbanPimp]

He can definitely rap

"Do y'all listen to music or just skim through it"

I can 100% understand if you don't like him or his content, or his voice annoys you, that's fair

But to question whether he can rap or not is either just trolling or someone who doesn't listen to rap outside of the club or radio

Listen to mortal man

Check his verse on Conrad Tokyo and get back to me
