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

[SNG]

Thats more quotable than any Kendrick line

I like bytch all my grandma's dead better.

 

[Metal Face]

nobody in the 2010s is a "lyricist"

 

[A Pimp Named Slickback]

Krit >>>>>>>>>

And I fukk with Kendrick but it's level to this shyt

KRIT is lyrically superior to Kendrick. I'm saying this as a fan of both too

People talk about the big 3 of the 2010s era being Kendrick Drake and Cole when KRIT has put together one of the greatest catalogues the game has ever seen

Only reason he generally doesn't get that love is because of the politics. His southern accent, where he's from, his sound, and his time spent on Def Jam all play a part in why he isn't as big as them

Both him and Kendrick are timeless artists. It's a shame casual listeners don't acknowledge KRIT on that level like he deserves to be

 

[IllmaticDelta]

Great artist; not super elite lyrically. Kendrick's bars don't wow lyrically when you read them off paper; it's his delivery/flow that makes them sound better. On pure lyrics this guy is the best of the new age/2010 rappers

and then

I find lupe's bars too forced/overdone

 

[Insensitive]

Jay Elect.
And
Elzhi.
Both started their careers proper well before Kendrick got on tho'.

K.R.I.T. is fukking great tho.
I absolutely refuse to tear down someone who can write, produce and come up
with dope concepts like him.

 

[Jigganaut]

Love the Krit love my personal taste he's my favorite of his class.

 

[Love Sosa]

Nowhere near. He has no quotables especially for how highly he is regarded

 

[Tony D'Amato]

Agree or nah?

Post a quotable?

 

[Westbama Heartthrob]

Post a quotable?

bytch I'm in the cluuuuuub

I'm with the homies, tell me what's guuuuud

I'm trying get these hoes single

And this is my single

 

[King Sun]

I mean hes great but nah....

 

[The_Third_Man]

maybe the greatest artist/album maker but defiantly not the greatest lyricist, he's great one though.

Lupe
Blu
Jay electronica
earl

are better lyricists

 

[BUSINESS AS USUAL]

Lmfaooo im crying...styles p raps laps around this weird ass nukka foh..hes trash

 

[BUSINESS AS USUAL]

Yall nikkas is weird bro..nobody yall mention..krit jay elect jcole elzhi blu lupe etc.... can fukkING SEE STYLES P THE GHOST ON HIS WORST DAY

 

[head shots101]

Rather play Benny, spesh and Conway

 

[Versa]

Ka, Lupe, or Roc got it

Lupe dropped in 2004 though, so I remove him from the list.

I'd say it's Joey Bada$$, KRIT, Ab-Soul and Kendrick.
