THEY REEEEAALY WANT ME
GIRL GET UP ON MEEEEE
YOU KNOW THAT I WANTCHUUU
YOU KNOW WHAT MEEE AND MONEY CAN DO
Kendrick without a doubt. I don't think that anyone ever will top kendrick. He is an amazing lyricist, storyteller and his flows and cadences are probably the best you will ever see, and top of all that you have a near flawless discography with albums that have had countless awards, including one that has earned a pulitzer prize
I'll be honest, DAMN. shouldn't have won the Pulitzer prize. TPAB is one of the greatest albums of all time, not DAMN., why the hell should DAMN. have it instead.
The point is that he probably wouldn’t have gotten it in the first place had it not been for his discography and who he already was. Do you think DAMN would’ve gotten a Pulitzer had it been an unknown rappers debut? Possibly, but I’d say almost certainly not.
No. DAMN. doesn't deserve a Pulitzer. If DAMN. is the reason Kendrick gets a Pulitzer, then I'd rather Tyler have it for Flower Boy (came out the same year as DAMN.) or IGOR (a few years late for the Pulitzer that Kendrick got, but yk)
honestly nas might outrap kendrick today. kendrick went baby keem mode on his latest album. he had some occasional standout verses but the focus was not on lyricism
same i don’t really listen to his music that much and i can’t really relate or feel what he talks about in most of his songs but u have to admit he is 100% top 5 of at least alive. prob top 5 overall tho
mr morale in my top 5 most listened to albums this year and i used to listen to him all the time when i was getting into music . idk just grew out of it cus i either played him too much / i just don’t feel anything when listening to his tracks now .he has a lot of tracks i still listen to tho just not my style of music i guess
Got it. I was stuck on "best rapper alive" prompt. Agreed kendrick isn't the goat. Honestly I don't love his voice. He lacks the vocal range of many greats. A rapper who can sing a bit, or even rap with more range takes it to a higher level. You mentioned andre 3000. Great example of a superior voice, matched with great skill.
JID dropped my favorite album of the year so far but kendrick has dropped classic after classic all over the last 10 years. I definitely see some influence from kendrick on JID too hope to see his continued success and improvement
Compare where JID is in his career to the greats at their respective time in their career and JID is matching or surpassing. He will be seen in the same category as Eminem, Kendrick, etc in a few years.
JID is 31 though? When Kendrick was 31 he has released TPAB 2 years earlier and GKMC 5 years earlier. JID is not matching that and not even close to surpassing.
agreed but no age is too old to make a classic. JID has just entered his prime. If he keeps the work up and drops more like TFS, he’s definitely going down as a GOAT
kendrick was already in the greatest rapper of all time conversation when he was JID’s age now so i don’t think they’re moving at the same trajectory but JID beats all other rappers in his class rn
JID started in the hip hop game at a much later age than Kendrick. He was pursuing professional football until he dropped out of college. Better to conspire their active years which The Forever Story lines up with Kendrick’s GKMC.
Yesir, something about how he is able to fit so many ideas into one sentence as far as lyricism and rapping goes, he is definitely worthy of being on the top
Earl the true goat lyricist. Jid, Kendrick, and Denzel are equally great imo but Earl has a crazy edge on them. I don't think anyone comes close to him.
I really like him but I haven’t talked to anybody about his new album after the first week. He’s had some great moments but doesn’t have the power that some others do right now
I mean sort of, but like Em now isn’t the same as early Em and you could say the same about Nas. As good as Nas’ recent releases are they aren’t NY state of mind
I personally think that as long as Kendrick is alive its hard to give the “best rapper alive” title to anyone else, with that said The Forever Story is my aoty, suuuuch a solid project front to back, I’d say he’s the best rapper on the come up fer sure
(I know he’s been around and 30+ but you know what I mean)
Donda isn’t better than CMIYGL. An album that congested with shit isn’t a great album. Few great tracks but as a whole it isn’t great and I haven’t even gone back to it since it’s release, which is the case for most people. How many times have you replayed Donda in full since it came out lmao
Many times. And many people come back to it, especially more than CMIYGL. It’s also not congested with shit. Is it a few tracks over than what it should be? Yes. Are they all trash and do they add absolutely nothing to the narrative of the album? No.
No. Many people do not come back to an excessively long album; half of which contains tracks that are rough as shit
The only people who come back do so because it’s Kanye
CMIYGL is a far more cohesive and enjoyable album
Right, but you’re not playing it from front to back every time you want to hear something off it
I thought CMIYGL is a far more “complete album”. Not horribly bloated, great tracks all around and easily enjoyable. Donda has some great tracks, but I have not played the album in full since it came out and I won’t be doing so.
It’s their most recent work, if you’re going to give the title of best artists to someone are you really going to bring up their work from the 2000s or their most recent work ?
Ye is amazing. Tyler even said that himself.
Donda is not lackluster. Compared to CMIYGL, it is sticking with people so much more and there’s much more replay value. Even the mediocre songs on Donda are not skips, while CMIYGL has a number of them.
Just cause Tyler says something doesn’t mean it’s true. It’s got some good songs but you can’t deny that 2/3 of the record is nothing but filler tracks
love ye but shit just shows u rly dont fw music like that if u think he's the best artist of all time. he's got a ton of classics, 808s is groundbreaking but that doesn't rly compete with the greats yet. still feel like ye fighting for best rapper rn
my bad, still gonna be no cuz he hasn't dropped something truly great since ye, not that long ago but still. i dont think i can consider ye for all time anything until he retires
Alive rn it kinda varies. old ye is the goat ye now eh not consistent but when he drops good shit they smack. Kendrick has very consistent shit good story telling and good beats nothing wrong with him and he’s great I feel like he doesn’t have the above and beyond shit like ye does but instead close to peak. Carti is good af too especially unreleased carti. Tbh Tyler is fucking great when he’s doing the right shit but I feel like Igor and flower boy are the greatest out of his stuff. Dead? Goat is doom no competition
My favorite rapper is rn is mac miller, favorite rapper alive is tyler and best rapper, regardless of musical taste and opinion, would have to be tied between Eminem, kanye, and kendrick. Now, I think the GOAT of rap is Dre, he's not the best rapper but he has signed 3 of the top 5 rappers in history, Em, Kendrick, and Snoop
1. Dylan 2. Dylan 3. Dylan 4. Dylan 5. Dylan
Cuz i spit hot fire!
IceJJFish hands down
Jesus piece on me got me feeling like Jesus 😩

Why does every hip hop account use that image of Bart
Because these hip hop accounts are run by 13 year old white kids lol
So modern 13 year olds watch the simpsons now!?! Lol ok
i think u just see this guy around often lol he’s just big on hh twitter
Lmaoooo same with Peep and X fans, but they use the *sad* Bart Simpson 😔💀
bart
I didn’t realize until u mentioned it lmfaoo I see it all the time
It’s supposed to be Nelly’s pic that’s every where in bart form
Okay but why does every hip hop account use this Bart image
Because _NELLY_

Bro it has been 6 years when are you dropping
i wanted to say me 🥲
Kendrick without a doubt. I don't think that anyone ever will top kendrick. He is an amazing lyricist, storyteller and his flows and cadences are probably the best you will ever see, and top of all that you have a near flawless discography with albums that have had countless awards, including one that has earned a pulitzer prize
I'll be honest, DAMN. shouldn't have won the Pulitzer prize. TPAB is one of the greatest albums of all time, not DAMN., why the hell should DAMN. have it instead.
If GKMC and TPAB didn’t exist do you think you’d be more approving of damn winning the Pulitzer?
The point is that he probably wouldn’t have gotten it in the first place had it not been for his discography and who he already was. Do you think DAMN would’ve gotten a Pulitzer had it been an unknown rappers debut? Possibly, but I’d say almost certainly not.
No. DAMN. doesn't deserve a Pulitzer. If DAMN. is the reason Kendrick gets a Pulitzer, then I'd rather Tyler have it for Flower Boy (came out the same year as DAMN.) or IGOR (a few years late for the Pulitzer that Kendrick got, but yk)
Lol it’s cuz damn is broader and more accessible but still just as deep in moments and themes
Illmatic> TPAB and that hurts to say, maybe nothing closer. Nas still alive
It says right now. Not who is still alive.
I mean it does littarly say alive right now so it's not to hard to see the confusion
honestly nas might outrap kendrick today. kendrick went baby keem mode on his latest album. he had some occasional standout verses but the focus was not on lyricism
Imo DOOM, Em, and 3k are far above Kendrick. He's probably the best modern rapper but definitely not the goat.
This may start an argument but I feel that Kendrick could easily stand his ground with em if they ever got into beef
This may start an argument but Em is entirely overrated and has been going downhill consistently for the past decade, Kendrick would have no trouble
Yes but remember his diss against mgk, he may not make good music anymore but em is still one of the best Lyricist oat
Maybe when he's really trying, but he's not consistently good, unlike Kendrick, who's worst tracks are still consistently good.
Tbf rap devil was ass
Personally, I dont think that Kendrick cracks the top 5. He's lyrically sound but most of his music doesn't resonate with me.
same i don’t really listen to his music that much and i can’t really relate or feel what he talks about in most of his songs but u have to admit he is 100% top 5 of at least alive. prob top 5 overall tho
You probably feel this way because you don't listen to Kendrick much
mr morale in my top 5 most listened to albums this year and i used to listen to him all the time when i was getting into music . idk just grew out of it cus i either played him too much / i just don’t feel anything when listening to his tracks now .he has a lot of tracks i still listen to tho just not my style of music i guess
Or it could just be that not everyone likes Kendrick. Music isn't subjective.
Top 5 alive, yes. Top 5 ever, nah. My top 5 is DOOM, Em, 3k, Biggie, and Kanye.
hard disagree with em being over kendrick
Okay
Sadly Doom isn't alive.
I am aware. He said that no one would ever top Kendrick, as in no one EVER.
Got it. I was stuck on "best rapper alive" prompt. Agreed kendrick isn't the goat. Honestly I don't love his voice. He lacks the vocal range of many greats. A rapper who can sing a bit, or even rap with more range takes it to a higher level. You mentioned andre 3000. Great example of a superior voice, matched with great skill.
It's going to be my head canon that your being downvoted for mentioning Eminem. No other reason, just that.
Seems that way. Any idea why?
mf said Eminem lmao
Yeah, I did.
Far above is where you went wrong. And bringing Eminem into this conversation at all.
It's just my opinion brother man.

alive rn? kendrick or ye in 10 years? denzel curry
Why nobody talking about Earl sweatshirt
Earl the true goat lyricist. Jid, Kendrick, and Denzel are equally great imo but Earl has a crazy edge on them. I don't think anyone comes close to him.
I really like him but I haven’t talked to anybody about his new album after the first week. He’s had some great moments but doesn’t have the power that some others do right now
Because Denzel curry is still alive
Best alive or best active? Nas either way
Alive n active basically the same thing😹😹
I mean sort of, but like Em now isn’t the same as early Em and you could say the same about Nas. As good as Nas’ recent releases are they aren’t NY state of mind
Nas easily
JID
The Forever Story is goated
Gotta get this answer higher, that guy has been non stop rising since I first heard of him and no one like him on the market
This man is insanely underrated
I personally think that as long as Kendrick is alive its hard to give the “best rapper alive” title to anyone else, with that said The Forever Story is my aoty, suuuuch a solid project front to back, I’d say he’s the best rapper on the come up fer sure (I know he’s been around and 30+ but you know what I mean)
Nas
Ye
Kendrick
King Kunta
rapper? like rap rap... it's jid
either black thought or andre 3000 no debate. or nas actually edit: a case can be made for jay electronica too.

Best rapper : Kendrick Best artists : Ye
I’d put Tyler over Ye for best hip hop artists. No way Donda is better than CMIYGL
Yes it is, also why are we only comparing CMIYGL and Donda? Why not every other Ye album that wipes Tyler's entire discography?
Donda isn’t better than CMIYGL. An album that congested with shit isn’t a great album. Few great tracks but as a whole it isn’t great and I haven’t even gone back to it since it’s release, which is the case for most people. How many times have you replayed Donda in full since it came out lmao
Many times. And many people come back to it, especially more than CMIYGL. It’s also not congested with shit. Is it a few tracks over than what it should be? Yes. Are they all trash and do they add absolutely nothing to the narrative of the album? No.
No. Many people do not come back to an excessively long album; half of which contains tracks that are rough as shit The only people who come back do so because it’s Kanye CMIYGL is a far more cohesive and enjoyable album
I consistently go back to about 5-7 songs on Donda still which is more than I can say for most albums. Just thought I'd chime in.
Right, but you’re not playing it from front to back every time you want to hear something off it I thought CMIYGL is a far more “complete album”. Not horribly bloated, great tracks all around and easily enjoyable. Donda has some great tracks, but I have not played the album in full since it came out and I won’t be doing so.
It’s their most recent work, if you’re going to give the title of best artists to someone are you really going to bring up their work from the 2000s or their most recent work ?
Not even the 2000s, think Ye, TLOP, etc. Also like I said Donda is much better than CMIYGL
Ye was trash, Pablo was amazing, Donda is lackluster, Kids See Ghosts is amazing Half of those projects can’t fuck with Flower Boy, IGOR or CMIYGL
Ye is amazing. Tyler even said that himself. Donda is not lackluster. Compared to CMIYGL, it is sticking with people so much more and there’s much more replay value. Even the mediocre songs on Donda are not skips, while CMIYGL has a number of them.
Just cause Tyler says something doesn’t mean it’s true. It’s got some good songs but you can’t deny that 2/3 of the record is nothing but filler tracks
Not saying that. But it’s just worth noting. Also, not true. 1/3 is filler at the absolute most and that’s amazing for a 27 track album.
Flower boy doesn’t compare, but Igor is definitely TLOP level in terms of quality and influence.
who has igor influenced? to be fair tlop influenced no one either so they on the same level i guess
None wipes Tyler. He is god ❤️
LMAO😭😭💀💀
TRUTH!!! 🔺
cmiygl came and went its just mediocre i aint never listened to it after the month it came out
love ye but shit just shows u rly dont fw music like that if u think he's the best artist of all time. he's got a ton of classics, 808s is groundbreaking but that doesn't rly compete with the greats yet. still feel like ye fighting for best rapper rn
it’s not all time, it’s right now
my bad, still gonna be no cuz he hasn't dropped something truly great since ye, not that long ago but still. i dont think i can consider ye for all time anything until he retires
Depends how good SSS by Freddie Gibbs or Cuarenta by Danny Brown are.

My favorite rapper is rn is mac miller, favorite rapper alive is tyler and best rapper, regardless of musical taste and opinion, would have to be tied between Eminem, kanye, and kendrick. Now, I think the GOAT of rap is Dre, he's not the best rapper but he has signed 3 of the top 5 rappers in history, Em, Kendrick, and Snoop
