Math Hoffa cohost says if lyricism was the thing like back in the days Kendrick Lamar wouldn’t be up there like that .

[TripleAgent]

I'm from the east and it doesn't. If you look a lot of east coast "legends" and classic albums there is literally no expression of any type of lyricism on it. They're just from the east and have a sound. So it gets a pass. it literally is a bias.

Give me 10

 

[Loose]

It's like dudes that were saying Drake won the battle because he had better punchlines and one-liners than Kendrick. For a lot of people that's all they see as lyricism. I lean more towards picture painters like an Andre 3K, Nas, and Kendrick where they ain't dropping verses making you scrunch your face up but they have a level of depth and introspection in their lyrics that many just don't comprehend lyrics deep enough to fully grasp.

Idk dog i have no clue how nas and Kendrick is comparable. Nas has flat out classic verses/bars that contain multiple multiple syllables, Kendrick a very straight forward up and down rapper probably below pac lyrically. Maybe you mean current nas? Definitely not prime Nas, kendrick more of a story teller I guess that's the comparisons but as far as how bars are put together? Nah. Like kendrick not writing some shyt like
Verbal Intercourse, mo money more murder. That's not to say kendricks a bad rapper he's just not lyrically great, great song writer tho

 

[SunZoo]

Because its stoopid. thats like comparing ANT to JORDAN.....it does't make sense.


you're only relative to your current competition.


TYSON JUST GOT "BEAT" BY PAUL LOGAN DAWG

Point being is, Ant (and Lebron) play in a weak era. You can say they’re running the field currently and would do well in any era, but when it’s time for objective placement all time you have to put everything into context.

 

[Kings County]

nikka gotta stop the scrappy doo cartoon mgcruff crime fighter voice shyt, and he cant write hooks for shyt every hook on the album ass
he does have some bars tho but his bars not witty enough or deep enough for me id rather listen to fukking lloyd banks or jr writers punchlines than the bullshyt i heard on this album that people are gassing up

 

[reserved_one]

Like I said, the East Coast has showed their complete ass during this beef....

I feel that the east coast are mad their left out of the conversation when at one point they were the center of it.

 

[Surreal]

I feel that the east coast are mad their left out of the conversation when at one point they were the center of it.

No they're heralded replacement/fake ass wanna be East Coast nikka Cole folded and went out like a bytch

It's just misplaced Cole disappointment that turned into KDot hate

 

[Brehcepticon]

IF

 

[Redwing80]

That's his opinion there's nothing wrong with what he said

I feel the exact same about Lil Wayne

 

[FruitOfTheVale]

The same nikkas who use this talking point can never quote a west coast lyricist that isn't named Kurupt or Cube

And usually be stanning basic punchline rappers who rap on the same beat every single album with the same flow

If you can't name at least 10 better west coast lyricists than Kendrick your opinion is invalid as you weren't looking for it like that anyway.

Kendrick isn't top 10 in the West lyrically but nikkas like the one in the video don't know who is to begin with, he's not saying that shyt in good faith at all lol.

 

[Justin Nitsuj]

nikkas listen to only radio songs and try to dictate what’s lyrical and what’s not lyrical. Foh with this bullshyt.

 

[King Harlem]

How long can an era be? Hip Hop is 51 years old now. These dudes been around for 15+ years.

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

That's the dude that was defending Trump in the Mysonne debate

 

[DOSDUMUNI]

Nobody cares about this hater.
Like Talib Kweli said, as far as lyricists all time, its Nas and then Kendrick
As far as discography doe, It's kendrick and then Kendrick

Kendrick’s catalog really is exceptional.

 

[Harry B]

His catalog being praised as one of the best ever would have still been praised as one of the best ever.

And he's being praised. by the best ever, from that old era.
And he's smoking them on their tracks or smoking people that have smoked old heads. The type of dense people that can't understand when people do something that isn't "rap like it's a freestyle with some multis, similies and punchlines about nothing" hook "rap with multis, similies and punchlines ab about nothing like it's a freestyle" hook. And are made that a lyrical black man can sell out stadiums like this, get reviews like this, awards like this. When their dream was the Apollo and 3 mics in the source.


Math Hoffa and his whole crew is just a bunch of toasted old heads, they even made that dude Esso seem like young, wise and fresh.
The type of people that will say that Fabolous, Sheek or Drag-on is a top tier lyricist, while Kendrick and J. Cole only nice cause they are in this era.

Then you see them rap and it sounds like this
