New Kendrick Lamar Album

[diamenz]

Tupac was basically a poor man's Kendrick with more charisma. Kendrick is on another level as a rapper.

I would rank Reincarnated as a top 15 Kendrick song ever, maybe even top 10.

bitch please.



nah but seriously - you do have a point. pac's forte and focus wasn't metaphors, flow switches and wordplay. he was more a part of the storytelling/delivery/emotion side of rap. but he could bring it on the lyrical front though, just not on the same level as kendrick.

even still, the all time lyrical legends like rakim, de la soul, mf doom, black thought, lupe fiasco and big l all blow kendrick outta the water. imo.

Honestly I thought Kendrick's song was garbage.

25+ years later and 2pac's verses over the same beat are still better.

Garbage is pure hyperbole. 2pac is legendary. His energy on this beat is unmatched. Even tho Kendrick did a good job trying.

2pac was for sure a lyricist. Your post kinda reads like you’re shortchanging him.

Interesting Lupe and Bkg L is on your lyrical legends list.

Not at all, I just feel people undersell Kendrick because he is a current rapper.

Tupac never made an album as good as "Good Kid, Mad City" or "To Pimp a Butterfly".

Tupac had more passion and a better delivery in his raps, but Kendrick is on another level in terms of word play and creativity.

I agree To Pimp a Butterfly & Good Kid Mad City are some of the greatest hip hop albums ever made but saying 2pac is a poor man's Kendrick is an outrageous take
