Basically u can hear the Kendrick Lamar hit ringing.

The pdp youths stepping to 'they not like us'


Another testament to the fact that Kendrick Lamar is messing up hip hop with his overrated tracks

The infiltration is top tier.

Even the Uchiha madara clan would be amazed.

The coalition is super!!

FiveFootNinja:
Do you even understand the concept of lyrical rap?

First of all, it's true: Majority of the rappers you mentioned are better than him lyrically. Personally I'd go ahead to add Lupe Fiasco, MF DOOM (the goat lyricist imo), Black Thought, Aesop Rock, Homeboy Sandman, and even his TDE compatriot Ab Soul. With your long list, I'm surprised you didn't even mention at least two of these guys, as they're at the forefront of any discussion about lyrical rap when you ask true hip hop heads. They all blow him out of the water.

But even if you drop a list of rappers all the way from California to the 5 boroughs of New York, it still won't subtract from the fact that Kendrick IS a lyrical rapper.

How can we identify lyrical rap? It's usually through elements like the wordplay, rhyme schemes, double or triple entendres, creativity, sophisticated storytelling etc. These are the hallmarks of a lyrical rap record. A good example is "Mural" by Lupe Fiasco, or "It Ain't Hard To Tell" by Nas. Now go listen to "Rigamortis" or "Nosetalgia", and come back and tell me that Kendrick isn't a lyrical rapper.



I hope you know he came up as a battle rapper in Compton? Just because you can drop a laundry list of better MCs doesn't mean he can't spit. I'll be the first to say, all the time, that Kendrick is definitely not in the upper echelon of gifted MCs. That being said, he still fits into the lyrical rap category and he's waaaaay better than average. Don't let his pop sounding records like "Humble" deceive you.

As for Drake, he mostly caters to the pop, RnB audience. Like in his last collab album for instance. Kendrick does too, but most of the time his raps are heavily layered lyrically and socially conscious.

Lupe overdos himself.
Nas is the greatest.
We take for granted how effortlessly Nas makes conversational rap. The complexity of the rhymes while still being coherent in the narrative he’s creating is what separates him from the rest.

I'll name 5 Nas songs far better than any other rappers using those elements u mentioned.

That said, MF doom: he was good. But can't come close to biggie or Nas or prime Jay Z.
Even Eminem is better than mf doom in terms of versatility ( it's Eminem's subject matters that messes him up).



Av listened to both tracks before.

But they are nothing compared to verses by Nas such as on:

Streets disciple ( 3rd verse)
Memory lane.
De ja vu
Understanding
Take it in blood
The cure
Godfather 4 ( with Dave East)
Give it up fast with mobb deep
No love lost feat shaq( the basketballer, big tariq and Jay Z)
Take in blood part 2( more complex than the part 1)


I don't want to even mention tens of more crazy Nas verses.

Just tell me one Kendrick verse that blows those Nas verses I listed there out of the water.

FiveFootNinja:
Kendrick is a lyrical rapper, so I'm not sure why you claim he doesn't represent lyrical hip hop.

I'll give you Drake though. Lyrically, he's average at best.

Kendrick is not a lyrical rapper. He's not even a top 20 GOAT.


Nas
Jay Z
Guru
Prodigy
Biggie
Big L
Mase
GZA
Raekwon
AZ
Ghost face
Big pun
Kool G Rap
Krs1
Big daddy Kane
Rakim
Method man
Kurrupt
Scarface
Game
Inspector deck
Cormega

Etc are all better than Kendrick Lamar

My guess is someone'll replace your soul
A.I is only here to replicate and control
Imitatin' the original then grabbed them a mold
Of the binary code, it's your patterns they stole
This my tactical flow, the one they can't redesign
You can redo the voice but you can never read my mind,



Nas.... 'Speechless part 2'

180 and 360 degree man. Old fool.

When money talks even u will do 360 degrees +1 turn

OkoAmarashy:
My dog's cage is better than the hostels of Abia students.

No wonder you hear them barking that Nigeria is a zoo. Most of them were brought up in environments not fit for animals and they have never experienced good governance.

What kind of comparison Is this
Is ur dog cage as big as a hostel?
Do u have up to 200 dogs?

Fetula4u:
keep shut

All church are now business center

Ur comment is just like saying everyone who thinks the way u think it who agrees with this ur post has mental issues.

Am very hesitant to say u need counselling ( using ur 2 points as premises).

But I do believe u need some form of it, we there scientific, psychological or psychiatric.

christejames:
Everyone knows, even Akpabio

This is all politics.
She has got to learn how to play her cards well.
Learn how to chose her battles.

He who holds the Piper dictates the tune

Why are people blaming the man..


Like we forget that an action leads to an opposite and equal reaction?

Most of us here would have started a marathon of insults at the slightest provocation.

The man tried abeg. To own up no easy.

Me? I for lock up!

The question now is:

What in the world is someone who is old enough to be my grandmother doing in the Senate
This is preposterous!

makavalley:
This news won't go viral but if its one naked girl chasing clout and dishing out stupid advice it will go viral before you say jack

Why should it go viral?
U don benefit from cuppy?

The naked girl gives people something to snaile about. Stress relief.


Meanwhile NGOs are laundering money

As u work hard.... Also work smart 'politically.'

Enjoy ur life even though I don't subscribe to baby mama things.


And this our tuface no dey ever dress in a way that will catch ur attention positively!!!


That God he didn't wear timberland boots with this dress

Na by crowd?

Even Kendrick Lamar and drake will pull crowd but do they represent lyrical Hiphop?

No!

OneCandleAway:
There's obviously more between Natasha and akpabio than they are letting out. I think she promised him to play along after some favours but didn't fulfill her promise hence he is angry

Keep dreaming and ruminating.

No be only favours, na flavors.
Flavours of entanglement

Akpabio my guy!

Pepper them well!

Correct man!

Baronthecelebri:
But Spanish stadium is better than African stadium

Who bring Spanish enter this matter

I thought Libya was banned for 50 years from playing football?

Survival of the fittest.
Sometimes it's better to have sense in politics, than have money.

Fufu made with detergent.

Now palm oil contaminated with bullets

lordm:
Imagine two fat people sitting in the middle. Or perhaps the middle starts to rust

Imagine the two fat people are carrying luggage in their laps

Enemyofpeace:
someone that belongs to the younger generator

Yes like tiger generator

redcliff:
I dont care about them but politics does not have to be about wickedness. Thats the politics they are practicing in nigeria

That is why it is politics.

The issue is if they work after they win.

Politics can be wicked. And the wicked politician can be doing well.

They are wicked cos they have to survive.

redcliff:
The precedence these guys are setting, they should know that it will come back to bite them. We can recall anybody now as we wish

It's politics.
If u cannot play the game go and open supermarket

I hate it when u lots act as if politicians are not the same or as if the people u voted for won without magomago.

Hmm


Ftc.

Hmm


Hmm

Mitsurugi:
Tinubu is definitely not brilliant. An astute politician with shady skills, but definitely not a brilliant one. If he was he wouldn't be contradicting his own publicly declared principles.

This is politics.
Not brilliance.

It's survival. It's a chess game.

Blame pdp for not bringing their ideas.

Asonaijaaso:
They are using money and judiciary to fight her back.

This is what happens with massive wealth in the wrong hands.

They are showing her they can remove her inside the senate and outside.

Imagine being ambushed by the Federal, legislative and judicial arm of government.

That's what they are doing to Senator Natasha

Akpabio and the gang.

And she showed she can use crocodile tears to blackmail the public

Anem.

The taste has no description.
Very weird taste. It's not sweet or nice. Neither is it bad.

BafanaBafana:
One thing Tinubu deserves credit for, he is good at running criminal organizations, owing to his background as a career criminal.
The Nigerian government is an in organized crime. He is carrying all the members of the cartel along (his political allies) and they are all happy with him.

This ur comment has some humour. Even though I don't agree with it

dollar124:
Fake rice kee? Rebranding of the rice doesn't make it fake rice since is not plastic rice. Rebranding is a common practice among rice dealers, even Big bull as a company still rebrand rice produced by other companies as Big bull. They should just sue them for using their brand to package the rice. Rice that their staff will loot.

Until u eat plastic ur mind no go rest.

I see people underestimating Japan.

Japan that nearly knocked out Belgium that year.

Japan wey beat Germany like say tomorrow no dey
