Do you see more Kanye influence or more Lil Wayne Influence on Kendrick Lamar?

[Piff Perkins]

Kendrick has said multiple times that Wayne and DMX were the most influential rappers for his style.

I don’t believe him

 

[old pig]

neither…I hear more of an em influence in some of his bars/music than I do kanye or wayne

Wayne

Wayne, I don’t see shyt from Ye on Kendrick.

in what heaven or hell does wayne write his own lyrics.


the fact that kendrick actually rights his songs puts him above wayne and drake automatically.

actually a lot of rappers are above those two if we kept it a funk about creative talents.

Rap from a technical standpoint, by far Wayne

As far as content, he is unique

 

[Amo Husserl]

I hear hints of Snoop, the Em influence is noticeable.
Maybe Tha Carter I era influenced Kendrick.


Looking back now, Wayne probably influenced Kendrick's generation... I remember this cadence leaving high school and starting college. Remind me of Wale.
Edit: Wayne definitely an influence.

Please don’t make me hate Kendrick by comparing him to Lil Wayne? I’m asking please stop ….
