Today's generation doesn't have a single GREAT rapper

[Drip Bayless]

the statement is flawless breh. nikka literally does not have a single wack verse, like every line is just forged with the impeccable precision that stretches the boundaries of human artistic creativity. i'd put him over most people the history of contemporary music period. the nikka is so fukkin ill

Lama sabachthani
I'm trying to see light but the devil trying to blind me
The grim reaper walking with his shovel right behind me
Trying to introduce me to the untimely unkindly
I Walk the line finely like Johnny Cash
But I keep getting visits from the ghost of the past
So I spark another l then I go to the pad


You'll never catch me slippin on the grassy knoll,
Or at the bottom of a well screaming lassy no.
I'm never spittin nothing less than a nasty cold.
I'm from the era of Gazelle shades and flashy gold


Intermission transmission
Put me in submission
Glistening trapped in the light prism whistling
Then Christ told me come closer to the light man
I went blind woke up in front of a mic stand


The handling of a heart is a very delicate art cause it's paper thin
One irrelevant thought, that started out as a spark, could be a poisonous dart, that leaves a permanent mark, that's ice cold in the day, and burns in the dark, and makes you never wanna see her face again
Tee-hee what a place I'm in
Lead me to the sta-ti-on


Imaginary crime boss, talkin' about look at my watch and how much my shine cost is time lost, Who Shot Ya? the Black Bach blasting over opera, phantom of the Chakras, Jay Doppler went from pan handling socks in the Bronx to popular, This is just the start of it, the kid intend to split more wigs than British Parliament, catch me on tour with Jigga and Al Ogre singing Dear Summer where Autumn went


Sugar plum candy coated lines for the dummies
Decoded hieroglyphics in the shrines for the mummies
We not illuminati but our eye is on the money
My mind's on the scripture -
It's beautiful,I see every line on the picture
So when the leaves rustle and the cock crows winter



few people in rap history share the same ground as him on painting vibrant pictures with their very words imo.

The man is very talented, however crafting great songs ≠ a great album. There are rappers who posess greater skills with imagery and lyricism, GZA, Lupe, Ghostface

If jay elechanukkah ever drops an album it will most likely be a classic which will propel him into my top 5. Still possible tho, he dropped like 3 new jawns this year, that's like 2 mixtapes in jay elec time

Kendrick is the new Lupe who makes music like a bad Andre 3000. He references cliche topics that get pseudo-intellectuals hard while not actually saying anything profound because he has no insight to give. that is the definition of fake-deep.

Tell me one line that Kendrick said that made you go "Whoa... that's deep" and tell me why you find it deep.

Also, let me not forget to say: "fukk the bible."



while all this is true, Harlem World > Kendrick's discography by far. Mase in 97 raps circles around anyone rapping now, period.

Take What's Yours > GKMC

I mentioned Harlem World to show that even pop rap in 97 went harder than 99.9% of shyt out now.



all this is true.

I don't even know how to respond to this retarded shyt.

And you do know that you don't have to BELIEVE in the bible to understand it's literary power and how taking a text that has existed for thousands of parable and giving it a new context could be genius.

It's just like taking something Shakespeare wrote and giving it a new twist in a genius way. That takes extreme skill considering how many people have read such texts

But I forgot, you're on your whole, "Look at me, I'm so rebellious and shock, fukk the bible" shyt that you don't even understand that.

Second of all, neither one of them rhyme ANYTHING like Andre 3000 other than to eschew the typical "fukk hoes, smoke blunts, get money" subject matter of mainstream Hip-Hop.

3rd of all, Kendrick's best work is not just one liners, which is your problem. Dude writes whole songs with a beginning, middle, and ending. Saying, "give me one line" would be like saying, "Describe "Schindler's List" in one line" or some great novel like "In Cold Blood" or something.

You have to read/watch/listen to the whole thing and process it.

Jay Electronica raps better than 99.5% of rappers in history, album dropped or not. And Lupe is FOSHO not the only great rapper out

That isn't that hard, if you think about it. I mean 99% of 10 million rappers is what like 100,000?

Lupe Fiasco may be the least great rapper that people think is great, ever.

Fiasco is fukkin trash. Always has been. Offbeat as fukk. The first pop pseudo-deep swag rapper. Check the mannerisms.

Dude has a lot of sons in this rap shyt though, unfortunately.

Agree. Though, His latest album I enjoyed for like 3 weeks. His first 2, the ones that earned him the legion of cocksuckers, are awful, awful rap albums.

[pete clemenza]

Why all these new dudes all got the same voice and rap about the same sh*t tho

 

[SirBiatch]

The Bible only has literary power to believers. I'm not a believer. fukk the boring ass mess. Cool?

I don't want you to get ethered like Action Bronson fans with the Ghostface denials, but check this out:



If you've been listening to hip hop long enough, you know there's a huge aspect of Kendrick's style that belongs to 3 Stacks. Just google it. I'm nowhere near the first to mention the similarities. And they're glaringingly obvious, too.

3rd of all, Kendrick's best work is not just one liners, which is your problem. Dude writes whole songs with a beginning, middle, and ending. Saying, "give me one line" would be like saying, "Describe "Schindler's List" in one line" or some great novel like "In Cold Blood" or something.

You have to read/watch/listen to the whole thing and process it.

First off, keep your examples in hip hop. Please and thank you.

Secondly, in your post you've managed to compare Kendrick to the bible, Shakespeare, Schindler's List and In Cold Blood. And you wonder why we call you Kendrick stans "insufferable."

You guys just feed off hyperbole. Plain and simple. You can't give great quotes from Kendrick because he has none. He just rambles off vague cliche narratives and it gets you hard. Which is fine but you can't fool us who grew up on superb rhymes.

Sorry.
