Nah, he's more like Nikki Minaj... no lyrics, just changes his voice. If thats lyricism, then he's #2 behind Nikki right now. K dot Minaj

Look mayne, I'm no punchline stacker Big L/Fabo typa guy, but breakin songs down into 8 line segments for the sake of making it manageable is okay. If I break down some jigga shyt on RD or Lupe shyt into 8 line segments you'll get dope shyt in those 8 lines. with naS you'll get weak ass shyt like;

"I ran and blasted a bytch like the phantom, nose
hand me a handgun and I'll defeat foes
then run to houston and i'll pelt ya
get vexed and hijack a delta
whether nikkaz listen or no airplay
I drink e&j in the stairway..." blah blah blah garbage

whether in the context of a larger song or just looking at those bars, theres nothing extraordinary about it... same with K dot Minaj

example of great lyrics...

"dear lord, have mercy on my banana clips
give em half call it that banana split
but my halfs really is like a banana 6
do these bananas have any idea who they on a planet with?
Apes. give you bananas to the grapes
that mean yo bytch gotta banana to her face
and wine on her chin..."
best post
I've never met anyone in real life who considers illmatic to be wack lyricially. If you don't like the tone of the album and prefer IWW ok, but lyrically wack? :heh:

Are you like 20 years old?
I love it when Naus stans get butthurt over someone criticizing Illmatic.

My intentions for the thread was to give shine to Kendrick for the critics who doubt his lyricism.

Lyricism and technical ability are two different things in my opinion. Technical ability is basically the depth in how many ways you can form your cadence patterns. Switching up your flow cadence, using certain rhyme schemes and sound patterns, your rapping tempo (generally double time and up rappers are more technical), etc. Kendrick is an excellent technical rapper, one of the best. I think one of the best examples of his technical skill is Backseat Freestyle because he flips his flow up so many times at so many different tempos.

Lyrically, I don't feel Kendrick is very above average, at least for a rapper that is universally considered good, but he has good subject matter.

I feel you, so technically speaking Twista is the best, while lyrically speaking Lupe is the best. But what if Lu can switch it up and spit like T?

Whoa whoa, I ain't say all that lol. Rapping fast is only a part of being a technical rapper, there's a lot more that goes into it. Lupe is one of the best lyrical rappers though, if he could spit like T and switch it up more... he'd be Sir E.U lol.

I see, you need to be more versed in T.
But anyways thats essentially what you said, and I dap you for it cuz I agree. But the GOAT is still :pachaha:

You guys make this way more complicated then it needs to be. If you've been listening for years and you really know your shyt, you know what it sounds like when a rapper's in the pocket and blacking out. You don't gotta count the syllables and check the tempo changes! You know when a rapper's saying some shyt too.
