ok first of all, we not talking about albums, we talking about lyrics and why he's the best rapper of all time. His albums are pretty dope, but we aint talking about that. Group Home, Too short, and ODB made great albums and they have no lyrics. Kendrick has decent lyrics, he aint wack, but stop trying to spin shyt. We aint saying dude needs to be the 2nd coming of Rakim, or just a whole album of quotable shyt, but he has hardly any quotables . As for what you asked:
2pac: my mama can quote 2pac. anyone that claims they can is a goddamn liar. foh haha
scarface: if you put "mind playign tricks on me" on at a party and people aren't quoting the lyrics, you're in the wrong place
ice cube??? did you just ask that silly azz shyt? ice cube? fukk the police? no vaseline? today was a good day? wtf son
ghostface: what subject? what song? Ice cream? st ides(commercial that was on tv every day during rap city breaks), hip hop heads know. Ghost isn't a favorite among the kendrick fans(hippie white folks and young black kids that think KL is the first conscious rapper)
andre 3k : do you not remember about 10 years ago 3k in that kilt killing the UKG song? "elevators", " summer rolls around nikkas holla bout change/ then they steady move them keys like Bob James". . I don't think 3k is top 5 all time but he's bad man. that mf bad.
if you dont know any quotes from the legends you posted, then the problem is that you just don't know shyt about hip hop and if you want to talk hip hop with me, you got to know it. Now I don't know everything, but I know a LOT. I'm over 30+ years strong into hip hop.
Bruh....
Who is quoting any of these bars from other artists....
The most famous lines in Hip Hop come from like 5 albums and 3 different artists...
Nobody is gonna drop a damn Andre 3K lyric...none of Andre3K lyrics became used in popular culture....
A bunch of Jay Z lyrics have...you can actually quote Jay Z across multiple albums...you can put Jay Z lyrics into a damn movie and somebody would know where that shyt came from. Show me another artist that is like that...
There ain't nobody else in Hip Hop that is like that...and I mean nobody...
This whole..."Well show me some dope Kendrick Lamar lyrics that are qoutable..." is a stupid argument. It's argument that really equates to..."I don't get what's a big deal about Kendrick Lamar..."
And that's okay...
If you don't enjoy musicality in Hip Hop, that's fine...because you are holding Kendrick Lamar to a standard that only Jay Z has reached...
Jay Z is the only artist that got actual quotable movie worthy lyrics...
A good punchline ain't a quotable...
A good metaphor ain't a quotable...
I am not a business man, I am a business, man is a quotable...
Men shouldn't be jealous, that's a female trait is a quotable...
What you eat don't make me shyt is a qoutable
shyt even Is it ochie wally or is it one mic became a qoutable on here...
Only Jay Z got several qoutables across multiple albums
Nobody is gonna drop a damn Andre 3K lyric in a conservation with you...
Kendrick Lamar's songs aren't meant to be a bunch of quotables...Kendrick Lamar is making concept albums and songs...
He's not just rapping about a subject...he's creating something that is supposed to be heard in it's entirety and relates to a story...
Kendrick Lamar on TPAB wasn't even central to the project, it was music around him that was central...
You and others just don't get the appeal of Kendrick Lamar...which is fine...
But trying to hold to some standard that only one artist has attained is ridiculous...
