I'm not old enough for the run LL had in the 80s but I heard about it from old heads and his run in the 90s was no joke. He paved the way for a lot of cats. I'm not saying I put all those people ahead of Kendrick either, just saying he's not top 10. That's crazy as hell to say.
Lupe is definitely a better rapper and I'm not even a big fan of Lupe and I prefer Kendrick's music over his.

I'm old enough to remember. LL held his own for 12 years and with FIRE music and dared anybody to battle him. I'd light this thread up with a few videos out of his catalog, but this is a Kendrick thread.

On top of that Nas fell off then went back on top with Stillmatic. The way people talk about Kendrick now is pretty much the same way people talked about Nas in like 97-98. Kendrick is moving up the list but let's wait lil bit.

Y'all some prisoner of the moment cats I see..It's not even fair to compare em though...it wouldn't even be a DAMN if it weren't for tracks like Rewind from Stillmatic

It wouldn't be a Stillmatic if it wasn't for Hov

How is this embarrassing?
Let's look at Nas discography
Illmatic - Classic
It was Written - Good Album for the time
I Am - Good Album for the time
Nastradamus - I'll let you guys decide that one
Stillmatic - Classic
Lost Tapes - Pretty great
Streets Disciple - Had some amazing tracks and some not so great tracks
Hip Hop is Dead - loved when it released, doesn't hold up over time for me.
Untitled - half was great, half not so much
Life is Good - A lot of people loved, critically acclaimed, it was a good album. Not great to me.
Music is subjective at the end of the day, my friend said it best, Nas hit him harder at the time he heard it and he got more out of the music then what he does today. He will always rank Nas first regardless. I respect that.
For me, Kendrick's music has just meant more and resonated with me more at the times in my life where I heard it. And the themes and cohesiveness of his albums are both unmatched.

Honestly the only rapper I'd put ahead of Kendrick is 3 Stacks.

I swear people give way too much credit to the legends and let nostalgia affect their judgement. Don't get me wrong a lot of those dudes are so fire, but we give the OGs way too much credit. If you look at subjectively a lot of these OGs that people are talking about are inferior to someone like Kendrick in my opinion.
As a whole in terms of lyricism, delivery, flow, wordplay, singles, popularity, sales, cultural impact, etc, and more importantly the balance of all those things, I'm not sure anyone has done it better than Kendrick Lamar. Em is the only guy I can say would be close.
DAMN. is a straight flex by KDOT to prove that he is the best to ever do it in every aspect of hip hop. Gotta remember all the OGs created the monster that is Kendrick Lamar. He is the child of hip hop legends. At this point I don't think he's trying to be on top of the list, I think he's trying to transcend it.

You've shown your age in your last few posts. Some of y'all should post your age after your crazy posts.
If Andre in your top 5 or even 3 somehow, you better be familiar with the Dungeon Family album, Killer's early work, Slimm Calhoun and everyone else on their label since he doesn't have much music out. Don't tell me Stacks is your favorite because it's the cool thing to do and don't know **** about him
