Both all time greats, I have Jay in my top 3, while Kendrick is in my top 10. Hov music raised me so his spot is forever cemented. While as Kendrick is a year older than me so his rise was when I was coming of age in my early twenties.

Hov classics: Reasonable Doubt, Blueprint, and Black Album

Kendrick classics: Section 80, GKMC, TPAB, Damn, GNX

Kendrick got more classics than Hov imo, and it isn't too far fetched for someone to think he's better than Jay. His catalog and accolades goes toe to toe with the greats (Rakim, KRS, Nas, Pac, Hov, Cube, etc.)
Jay just has more wisdom and information.

Kendrick is art project rap.

Kendrick is kinda like criticizing gays in public you’ll never win doing that anymore just have to tolerate it but I still prefer Jay’s music. I remember being on forums back when GKMC dropped and I saw people putting him above big already
Jesus Christ :laff:

I feel the same way.

I remember people gassing GKMC and I just could not get it.

It's a hot take but it's true and doesn't take away from Jay's legacy.

And Nas is the GOAT.

Unless you felt this way before the Drake beef I don’t see the argument. Kendrick is in my top 3 of all time but.

Jay has RD BP TBA and 444. I would even throw Vol 2 in there. WTT is also a classic to me.

To me Kendrick has GKMC TPAB and Section 80. I love DAMN but idk if it should be considered a classic. MMTBS and GMX was cool but I don’t think it’s a classic.

Jay is GOAT overall but Kendrick has the stronger discog by far.
I do think it's a convo if you put Jay's best vs Kendrick's best though.

Like Common said, back in 2018 Kendrick already had 4 solidified classics, which was already 1 more than Jay imo



He then added Morale and GNX, with Morale being argued as a masterpiece in the music community, and gnx could definitely become a classic, the impact is already there, the acclaim too. it checks every box.

So yeah, Kendrick is only gonna distance himself from Jay.
