Conscious rappers that are better than Kendrick

[the elastic]

I'm tryna see something

I'll go first though (in no particular order):

1. Lupe Fiasco
2. Jay Electronica
3. Mos Def
4. Del Tha Funk Homosapien/Deltron3030
5. Ab-Soul

Lupe and Mos>>>


Pharaoh Monch

 

[Ziggiy]

Del The Funky Homosapien isn’t better than Kendrick at anything

 

[BK The Great]

Gangstarr, i prefer him over most conscious rappers.

 

[Long Live The Kane]

I’d limit it to rappers that could be considered peers or at least currently active

When I liked Kendrick the most (gkmc days), I thought Krit was doing very similar things…but better

Del The Funky Homosapien isn’t better than Kendrick at anything

Def better at freestyling off of the dome and concepts too lowkey, underrated storyteller too. Del was dropping classics before Kendrick knew what a mic was.

[A Tribe Called Quest ™]

Ab Soul can’t make a top tier album to save his life

 

[KingTxo]

Lupe
Mos Def
Mick Jenkins
Jay Elect

Kendrick kinda alluded to him not being a conscious rap on his latest album

 

[Chip Skylark]

Legit one of the greatest rap albums of all time

Blu was the one. He’s still dope though but this Blu was upper echelon

Not gonna lie I don't fw Kendrick's new album.

That being said, there's not much to go off of in the OP lol. You talking who makes better music or something more specific?

It has to be “conscious” rappers who are better “rappers” or “lyricist” cause album wise Solo can’t put it together musically and Jay Electricity will never be able to clear all the samples for Act 2

I can’t think of anything else. I don’t really consider Kendrick a conscious rapper though
