U mean the year he dropped an instant classic and the year he droppeed the album that elevated him to super mega star status are years u cant understand why they list him the best rapper in those periods of time?
In a matter of fact. Can one REAAAALY say Kendrick is the hottest rapper in the game right now?
If we are goin by the critera of this list. 2013 so far should belong to Fewcha

Jeezy dropped a masterpiece in 05 with 101 but Best Rapper Alive
Wayne was also better than TI in 2004
Tip & wayne were droppin heat in 03 and 04. Its a close call. TIP dropped urban legend and trap muzik while wayne dropped Dedication, Suffix and Carter 1
I thought you didn't understand why people love The Blueprint so much thoughU mean the year he dropped an instant classic and the year he droppeed the album that elevated him to super mega star status are years u cant understand why they list him the best rapper in those periods of time?
