Kendrick is a GOAT? Give me his top 10 universally known quotables...

[Cracked]

When I was ten, back when nine ounces had got you ten
And nine times out of ten, nikkas don't pay attention
And when there's tension in the air, nines come with extensions

 

[Shorty K]

You sound stupid as hell tc. Scarface, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Andre 3k, Big Boi, Common, Black Thought, Ice Cube, Chuck D, DMX, etc aren't quotable having ass nikkas either. nikkas painting pictures with vivid imagery and you talking about some one liners.

 

[FruitOfTheVale]

isn't that a contradiction? each line is a description of what's in his DNA. they build on each other as he says he's gods new weapon.

and I don't know how true the second part is. free association has been around for a while.

Ok put it this way, take a random verse from Nas...

"It ain't hard to tell, I excel and prevail
The mic is contacted, I attract clientele
My mic check is "life or death", breathing a sniper's breath
I exhale the yellow smoke of Buddha through righteous steps"

the way Nas flipped excel/exhale and played on the idea of him taking a breath on the mic being akin to a sniper steadying his shot and then flipping it again to the ganja smoke coming out his lungs like smoke coming out of the barrel of a gun


That's more what I meant by tying the lines together.

You sure about that?

These nikkas got bars for days. Especially Prime Common

That's what make GOAT rappers GOAT. They can do both

Then there's the fact that nikkas like X and Cube were blessed with some of the greatest voices in hip hop so their edge in delivery comes off way harder and ferocious than 99% of rappers in rap history.

Bro yall the ones making up this dumb ass narrative that Kendrick's not a GOAT because he doesn't sit around trying to think of one liners. I don't put any value into quotables at all really so guys like X and Common are GOATS to me like Kendrick. What are some famous DMX and Common one liners tho. Tell us about all them Cube quotables.

 

[CrimsonTider]

why he need quotables, G rap top 10 but how many qoutables he got or any anyone can mention and this aint to say Kung Fu is a GOAT

Dont know him

Your post seemed like some nikka babble to be honest. The premise of this thread is that Kendrick ain't a GOAT because he doesn't put one liners in his raps. Let's hear all them Scarface/Andre 3000/Common/Ice Cube/DMX/etc one liners bro.

 

[GoldTeef]

There isn't a rapper alive that has "universally known quotables".

Real Gs move in silence like lasagna

 

[FeloniousMonk]

Every line from Warm It Up Kane more or less

Okay, give us your 10 fav lines from the song (without using ya googles)

My point is more of the fact that if Kendrick isn't out right storytelling in a track his lack of rap skills. He has dope rhyme schemes and flow but he got more filler in his bars than you'd think with a minimum amount of head turning wordplay or wittiness.

"Think of Sandra Bland as I'm staring in the wind
The color of my skin, they comparing it to sin
The darker it gets the less fairer it has been"

How many lines on DAMN are hitting as hard as that? This is just shyt from Com's latest album

"Smoke a little, keep a high standard
The Roots are my nikkas so I gotta fly band with (bandwidth)
Son of the sit-ins, you know who I stand with"

"Influenced by the life of the former, Joanne Chesimard
Assata Shakur, I gotta do more
The light-skinned spook who got in the door
I gotta hit four, same thing Cassius Clay uses pottery for"

You gotta be kidding me if you think Kendrick can go bar for bar with nikkas like Common Sense

Bro I've been a Common fan since Like Water for Chocolate and the nikka is, like Kendrick, a GOAT that just don't make quotable raps. Y'all are the ones making up criticisms to take away from the greatness of Kendrick. Good lyricism has never had anything to do with quotables, down syndrome ass 90s molly babies that can't pay attention to raps that don't have goofy lines in them are just looking for ways to hate Kendrick.

 

[Piff Perkins]

They don't. one could say that the point of those first four bars was to show the complexities of his DNA but the execution is lazy. Tying lines together is a simple concept that you hear pretty much every golden era rapper do from Cube to O.C. to Common and etc. the way you tie the ideas together is a big part of what makes the way you're rhyming it dope.

yea ok dude

Trying too hard and missing the point by a mile. The bars do their job: they express the good and bad, the complexity and contradiction of his DNA. The entire first part of the song weaves together like that lol.

And this is 1 thing to us we aint new to
The crew will cast a spell on the crowd juss like voodoo

Competition made fine and spectacular scheme fiend and take a bite like Dracula

And i can slice and dice a fisher price
em-CEE!!, that thought he was nice into minute rice

off the top of my head


The song w/ G Rap Raw / 5 minutes had a gang of quotables too

So, yo, go for what you know attempt to debate so I can humiliate we can go rhyme for rhyme, word for word, verse for verse get u a nurse? Too late get u a hearse.

And when i get thru rockin the mic like this u hav to thank the god almighty if u still exist

Not a savage but in my own way im doing damage

Come get some, you little bum,

I'm the original aziatic, acrobatic now get dramatic

Creating drama when i'm on the scene, and i pack em in mean, like bruce springsteen

"Put on trial, a rap pile to exile
Make you tumble and stumble, in a rumble just crumble
And I'm still calm and humble"

"And if may make this one thing here clear thats for you to not come near, period"

As I design the genuine line, now who's flatop rules in 89?

"deadly as scarface, but bright as cosby show"

"and all competition appears to be weak, i meant to say wack"

"So toss the sauce across to the boss, no remorse you lost, with force, of course, a holocaust"
