Lmao Kendrick has never created a landmark flow EVER.! what flow does he have that the whole country was singing word for word Ala NOTORIOUS THUGS, started from the bottom, MASE ON 112 only you? He has zeroThe flows he uses, the metaphors he uses his ability to encapsulate a theme into a rhyme combined with his rhyme structure/patterns are his biggest strengths.
actually it's more reminiscent of Nas
Still think he sucks. Mostly cuz of his voice
His lyrics are meh. Hard for me to take ppl seriously saying he's a great lyricist when ka's last album had a dozen verses better than Kendricks best that I've heard

im standing on a field full of landmines
doing the moonwalk
hoping i blow up in time
I understand what you mean.
Kendrick is Christopher Nolan. You're looking for Quentin Tarantino.
Punchlines
As if I listen for punchlines
I listen to kendrick for poetry with a great flow
The poem at the end of Mortal Man
"The caterpillar is a prisoner to the streets that conceived it
Its only job is to eat or consume everything around it, in order to protect itself from this mad city
While consuming its environment the caterpillar begins to notice ways to survive
One thing it noticed is how much the world shuns him, but praises the butterfly
The butterfly represents the talent, the thoughtfulness, and the beauty within the caterpillar
But having a harsh outlook on life the caterpillar sees the butterfly as weak and figures out a way to pimp it to his own benefits
Already surrounded by this mad city the caterpillar goes to work on the coc00n which institutionalizes him
He can no longer see past his own thoughts
He's trapped
When trapped inside these walls certain ideas start to take roots, such as going home, and bringing back new concepts to this mad city
The result?
Wings begin to emerge, breaking the cycle of feeling stagnant
Finally free, the butterfly sheds light on situations that the caterpillar never considered, ending the eternal struggle
Although the butterfly and caterpillar are completely different, they are one and the same."
What has nas said that was ever groundbreaking or profound? I'll waitThis the one quotable I can remember from Kendrick. Brehs writing essays on how he raps doesn't make for quotables, ok, but all the greats have a couple of lines that everybody kind of knows. Whether it's the line itself or the delivery. This one the only one that made me go back to catch it again. It also helps that he didn't do it in one of his chipmunk voices.
Not a bad comparison.
Breh I'm sorry but that "poem" is actually quite weak. Keeps on repeating the same words, makes long sentences to make simple points, and the ending which supposed to be strong is stating some blatant evident stuff as if it was profound. It's exactly the kind of stuff that make me not buy this whole Kendrick is the new Nas or Kendrick the great lyricst stuff.
