But I thought Kendrick washed Jay-Z on that BDKMV Remix


Or not?

either way

Best Rapper Alive is nothing but a stigma device..

Nas, Saigon, Killer Mike, Pusha T all clearly better imo.

like the consensus would say, gkmc and s80 are better than anything these cats dropped in the 2010s. these 2 albums are easily contender for top 3 of this decade (2010-2019)

RAP Music and Life Is Good are both better projects. I like Kendrick's music, but the hype is way out of control.

to me, it was either kendrick or Nas, or maybe Eminem for his technical abilities

still not 100% fukking with kendrick's music but gkmc might be one of the best albums I have heard in recent memories


well deserved I'd say, I'm excited to see what hes going to do next

Kdot had to write a try hard verse just to match Jay's phoning in ass verse :manny: :yeshrug:

we all know kendrick had the best verse on that song, at this point saying other wise would be rewriting the history.

it would have been a complete renegade if it wasn't HIS song...

Who you got?

i dont really care, to be honest.

if we're just talking mainstream, then i'd have to say rick ross by default. hes the most popular across the board.

with that said, the title of "best rapper out"(i dont use silly terms like "best rapper alive") really means nothing at this point with the way the industry has ruined the rap game and turned it into a joke.

Know how I know you lying one way or the other...Drake Stans have dominated the first 2 pages of the forum this week and each thread indirectly about Kendrick.

You ain't forgot about that nikka, quit fronting.

honestly, i dont even know what youre talking about.

i havnt really been in the booth like that lately and i dont pay much attention to drake and i certainly dont pay any mind to anyone whos actually a fan of dude.

you must got me confused with somebody else.

And Kendrick is only lyrical if you compare him to other mainstream rappers. He's nowhere near the best lyricist when compared to nikkas that really can rhyme.

this.

i dont listen to much mainstream hip-hop anymore. i just give a courtesy listen to whatever is new and keep it moving 90% of the time.

the true talents have been flushed out of the picture. its only gonna get worst from here.

complex is retarded, they only talk dumb shyt to get hits on their site. Kendrick is lame and was crowned king of west when they had nikkas like tyga representing. This kendrick dikkriding makes me sick. He's this generations Nas for sure, overrated debut, annoying stans, and dikkriding when he loses. He can't even put his boys on right, at least Drake put Weeknd on and that nikka has a name for himself now. :datazz:
