DAMN vs. 4:44

[Super Cheech]

DAMN. easily.

 

[NYtymes]

while DAMN is dope and has more bangers, the fact that we can still compare a 47 year old jay z to kendrick (who is one of the top rap artist in the game currently) says alot , 4:44 wins

 

[Supreme365]

DAMN is way more well rounded sonically from a production standpoint.

Hov is just miles better than Kendrick as an mc. His presence alone lifts up songs that would otherwise be average if we switched the two.

Hov is a monster with the lyrics but kendricks voice flow concepts are so unique dude reminds me so much of stacks not to mention his storytelling is just all in all 2 great albums from 2 legendary mc's this has low key been a dope year for rap anyways my vote goes to DAMN

 

[Supreme365]

Flower Boy is better than both

We'll see

It's hard to when he's constantly compared to lyrical tyrants.

K Dot can spit but he's outclassed on this. And I thought Hov was on the verge of being washed after MCHG outside of his features. But Drug Dealer's Anonymous, Seen It All on Jeezy's album, and the We Made It freestyle verse were signs that he was still godly. He finally combined the slick hustler talk with his black awareness on 4:44

nikkas don't like to give my dude his props, but Rick Ross' Rather You Than Me is just as if not more lyrical than DAMN as well.

I think people equate quotables and one-liners as being what truly defines great lyrics while that's cool nothing beats storytelling and that's where Kendrick shines the most when an mc can just take you on a journey with words that shyt is just the verses on songs like DUCKWORTH, FEAR, XXX and LUST put damn over the top for me I got kdot up there with legends like scarface, nas and ghost face when it comes to spitting stories

Could say the same about you jay stans

Jay says some generic shyt other rappers have been saying for 20 years and yall act like it's the first time anybody has ever said the shyt.

That's exactly what Kendricks fan do

We ask yak for quoteables and the best ya come up with is "girl, I know you want this dikk!"

:flop:

 

[Concerning VIolence]

DAMN has too many filler tracks.

 

[T.H.E. Goat]

I like Damn better...both incredibly dope albums, but Damn has better songs and production in my opinion

4:44 is better lyrically though

 

[T.H.E. Goat]

nikkas always talking about quote a Kendrick line like The Source didn't have Hip Hop Quotables highlighting full verses that nikkas praised

 

[Roland Coltrane]
