Kanye West; "If you rap against Kendrick Lamar you will lose"

[Canada Goose]

Man look I get that we’re all on our Kendrick high. Bruh is dope and deserved his flowers. But saying that he’s unbeatable is kinda crazy lol. Anyone with a mic can get bested. That’s including Kendrick and every other rapper out there. I mean some people got Nelly packing up KRS One.

I agree with this.


Look at Nas, he destroyed Jay with Ether but couldn't come up with a diss song as great as Ether to go at Cam and 50 when they was dissing him. When 50 was beefing with LOX/Nas/Game at the same time all of the LOX and Game disses were harder than that "Don't body yourself" diss song.


I mean people probably thought Jay was untouchable when Takeover dropped.... and we all know what happened there.


Drake was an easy target, any skilled rapper that was equally as popular as him could have bodied him in a battle. I was SHOCKED that Meek Mill lost the battle to Drake, no way a hood nika from Philly who could rap any business losing a rap battle to a child actor from Canada.... but it happened

It makes sense now

Meek is DUMB

Game would get him, way too aggressive and would just wear him down. I do agree with only a commercial rapper is worthy of the challenge. Only way it would attract the local fans. Maybe a few underground rappers would give him a run. I do think Rome and Ransom would make it interesting. I am not a huge Kendrick fan at all and I don’t think he is all bulletproof here. Drake had a lot of negatives going on that Kendrick could expose. But what if the battlefield was even and both rappers went in blind like a Kendrick and Lupe or and Kendrick and Rome/Ransom?

I think Nonaame would tear his ass up

Lupe too

Go in on his hypocrisy

She already did

Spoke on him getting the superbowl before he did

This is pretty much what RZA said, not only he's a natural lyricist, he's also the most versatile mcee since 3k, but with a psycho touch

He'll warn you, speak to you, then meticulously deconstruct your persona, psychologically burn your soul and drop a massive victory lap on your head, and all of that with different sounds and perfect execution. You'll eventually file a lawsuit for bullying but you'll always hear the boogeyman whisper "We all float down here you'll... float... too!" in your sleep

He won't do that to ME though...I'm the boy!

What made it so bad for Meek was that Meek used to battle. Him losing threw me off like crazy.

Full interview for those interested



He actually sounded pretty normal and calm here. He even admitted that when people tell him he should (or shouldn’t) do something, he does the opposite.

 

[BlackXCL]

Kendrick would easily fold game. Game got too much dirt on em.

Jay Elec if he wasn’t a weirdo

Eminem is washed.

Eminem is a fukking monster on the mic. His new album is proof of that. He is absolutely insanely talented. He eats Kendrick’s food in a battle. All day. And let’s not even talk about 01-03 prime shady nasty nasty work

And game is extremely aggressive and always ready for battle. Would also take out Kendrick. He would bar him up all day

Eminem is washed and played out. He’s corny to handle Kenny. Kenny is corny too mind you but he’s younger, fresher, smoother and more modern than Eminem.

The Game is a viscous battle rapper, but like I said he got too much dirt on him for a dude like Kendrick. U forgot that time he “adopted” that young girl, Madison I think her name was?

Kendrick would body Game to oblivion. Plus they from Compton, Kendrick would have access to dirt we don't know about. Game better not even try it.

 

[CoolinInTheCut]

Yet ya boy Kenny had to borrow Push's blueprint to beat Drake.

Push cant make a hit like Not Like Us. I dont think he has any solo hits.

 

[Bondye Vodou]

Push cant make a hit like Not Like Us.

True,.

 

[Fani Willis fan]

It's not about technique and wordplay when it comes to battle raps on this scale.
First one to turn the other person into a meme wins.

 

[CoolinInTheCut]

The Game's reputation and dirt / baggage will never allow him to win a rap beef against someone as beloved as Kendrick. It gonna be an uphill battle to even be taken seriously.

We saw what happened when he dropped Black Slim Shady. People were tryna gaslight themselves the diss was bad despite it being pretty good outside of the clout chasing motivations behind the diss

It's not about technique and wordplay when it comes to battle raps on this scale.

It's a popularity contest once you're a certain level of artist.
