[Mistah Wilson]

All the time Nas, Rakim, Ghostface, Masta Ace etc. are still alive, then no he's not.

Dude, I can name guys in the WEST who are better than Masta ace, Ghostface RIGHT NOW. One is on my SIG.

Really? I don't have sigs on but Masta Ace dropped one of the best albums I've heard this year.

And Fash, Blu, and Thurz are simply not on Kendrick's level. Boy Meets World is a classic, but is it Section 80 or even OD for that matter? No way.

imo Boy Meets World is better than Section 80. Below the Heavens is obviously better than Section 80, not just imo but from a world-wide perspective. Its considered an underground classic and Section 80 isn't. And LA Riot (which you haven't listened to and should) is better as well.

I was thinking more on a lyrical standpoint. Masta Ace is always dope and so is Ghostface but guys like Blu, Locksmith, Crooked, Thurz are killing shit right now IMO.

As long as Eminem is still dropping verses then the answer is no.

GKMC will be better than any Eminem release since MMLP, Im sure of it.....As for Common, go listen to some Kendrick songs like "Faith", or "The Heart, Part 2"....Those to me are "Common" type songs that Kendrick storytelling is on another level.

Ace dropped a concept album about his mother. I don't see Crooked I dropping anything as lyrical as that.

Dropping a conceptual album does not mean you're more lyrical haha. A Concept is ONLY an idea or construction. This has nothing to do with lyricism.
