Kendrik is a top 5 lyricist to me atm - not of all time, but at the moment.

J.Cole, Nas, Kendrik, Game, and Immortal Teq.

everyone has their opnions. - i like'd Kendriks style on Good kid, Mad City.

Dudes talking some sense but at the same time he sounds like a music snob

Name dropping Rakim is ok and all but dude was a hardcore MC and had very little to actually say with his music. I listen to a whole Rakim album and take nothing away at the end. One of the goat MC's but not in the top echelon of lyricist imo

For this era he's name dropping all technical dudes that that don't put out great albums and saying K Dot is ok for the commercial market because he can? Krendricks maybe not the best but give him his dues

it's harder to be a lyricist on a major label, than to be an indie one. and Kendrick does not have any competition in mainstream
