Who has a better discography: Nas or Kendrick

[ThirdAct]

Hitboys beats were consistently boring maybe. But that's about it. While kd3 may not have a single bad song. It also didn't have many great songs. I would say "Get Light" was the only great beat on that whole album. Everything else was forgettable. Hitboy will always be a B level guy. Which is why barely anybody uses him anymore except for Nas. Most of his beats are repetitive, dull, and horribly mixed.

Absolutely NOTHING on kd3 compares to the heart part 6. Hey now. Wacced out murals. Tv Off. Reincarnated. Duckworth. Fear. DNA. Feel.

Even the highs on Mr Morale are far better than the highs of kd3.

Count me out, N95, rich spirit, savior>>>>>Kd3


And the most importantly, Kendricks pen is better than nas's at this point. Nas is still dope but nowhere near his prime level. Kendrick is superior is every aspect. Which is why even Nas acknowledges that Kendrick is the current king.

Hey Now being one of your examples as better than some of the best on KD3

Hey Now is not better than Legit, Thun, Michael & Quincy, Reminisce, Once a Man, Twice, etc...come on. This is making me question your entire taste lmao

Now to be fair you named some great songs. But we gotta take the whole albums into account. Like Damn...you named its four best songs. But for every Duckworth or Feel, there's a God and Pride there too. It's the same reason why I Am isn't considered one of Nas best even though IMO it has two of the best storytelling songs he ever wrote (Small World and Undying Love). Consistency, it's important in albums. Damn and Mr. Morale lack consistency even if there are high highs on them.

Take Count Me Out and N95 for example. Cool songs, just not crazy about when Kendrick does the weird voices. Wouldn't put them over the best on KD3.

Like I said, GNX is the most consistent and the best argument. Not mad at anyone preferring it over KD3 but also not mad at anyone preferring KD3 over it.

When them synths kick in on Hey Now that shyt goes crazy .....but I'm a guy who enjoys the commercial bangers when executed right. And Hey Now was executed perfectly. I used that song to show the versatility in Kendricks music. Something Nas also attempts to do when he makes songs like 30, yktv, and Blue Bentley. But he's just not able to do that lane on Kendricks level. He never has been. And that counts for something. Kendrick can do the mainstream and pure hip hop sound better anybody right now.

I'm just not a fan of hitboy. Nas gotta move on. Nas could prolly drop a classic with Kendricks production team. But hitboys production loses replay value too quickly. He's a beat maker. He makes subpar loops and then puts some weak ass drums over em. That's why his production gets old fast. He doesn't know how to really flesh out the music cause he's not skilled enough. It's not a knock, it's just the truth. He can't compare to sounwave on any level.

I actually fukk with Hey Now too, but it ain't on the same level as those KD3 songs I mentioned...even outside of the beat just on rap performance
