Kendrick Lamar is the greatest lyricist of the 2010s. No one else comes close.

I agree, especially for that time period.... Its other dope lyricist no doubt, but his 3 album run in that decade is unmatched.

The only answers are either Lupe or Elzhi, maybe Royce, that's it.

all of them were 00's artists

 

[Somebody]

Drake
Kanye
Future
Frank

all better.

Drake

Flabby heads gone quote the hell out of this post. Get ready for it

 

[SunZoo]

Ab Soul > Kendrick on that tip.

They qualify since they've put out projects/acclaimed works in the 2010's.

they don't, they're clearly talking about the class of rappers that debuted/built their name in the 10's (krit, kendrick, cole, sean, drake, wiz, future, etc). those guys all debuted and built their name in the 00s

In that case it's big sean or ab soul then. It could be argued a lot of those guys built their names up during the late 2000's.

they really didn't, a few of them had their first "major" mixtape in 09, but all of them used the 10's to become household names and drop albums

and big sean as a better lyricist than kendrick some of yall just need to say you don't like Kendrick and KIM vs making outlandish statements. Soulo at his best was up there, but I can't give that label do a dude who fell off faster and with less output

 

[ThirdAct]

Songwriter probably, lyricist no...kind of a weird distinction but that's how I feel

 

[SNG]

Drake
Kanye
Future
Frank

all better.

la di da di da slob on me knob

Foh here nikka.

But future is one of the best artists in the 2010's just not lyricist.

I rock with Kendrick, but my definition of a lyricist might be different from others, he can 'rap' excellent but lyrically he's 'good', I wouldn't say he's great.

Perfect example is the control verse. Kendrick skated by on delivery even though Sean's verse was better lyrically.

Thats more quotable than any Kendrick line
