ehhhhh, the calling out all of the other rappers thing is a gimmick. nice verse though, i'll end up listening to his album sometime because of this.

he didn't call out pharoahe monch. good move; i wouldn't either =D

_________________

Did you mean "Aren't"?


Good verse but I dont think its that derogatory. I mean he did include the line I got love for you all


But this will spark a nice Im the Best, no Im the best fight between him, Krit, Cole, and maybe Tyler

The others he named dont even warrant mentioning, though Im glad he ripped them

Oh and thanks for reminding me Tyler exists. What the hell happened to him?

I meant aren't. I want to see some good rap battles. They don't have to turn into Pac and Big but it would make the listening experience better.

PHAROAHE MONCH ‏@pharoahemonch 7h
Thank the good Lord for Kendrick. #lyricism is being discussed.

pretty much that. pharoahe monch is the best rapper in new york, it's not really much of a debate.

Rappers are SUPPOSED to believe they are the best and are supposed to strive to crush all opposition. If you don't than you aint an MC.

Phil Jackson
You tag Phil Jackson in a rap song, he'll tag you right back -- just ask Kendrick Lamar ... who got a free lesson in ego management from the Zen Master after droppin' his name in a new song.

67-year-old Jackson was definitely listening when 26-year-old Lamar called him out in Big Sean's new song, "Control" -- a song that includes the lyrics:

"Who the f**k y’all thought it’s supposed to be?
If Phil Jackson came back, still no coachin’ me
I’m uncoachable, I’m unsociable."

Jackson -- who's no stranger to dealing with egomaniacs (or people named Lamar) ... shot back on Twitter moments ago ... with a message aimed right at Kendrick:

“@kendricklamar it’s okay to be cocky and sure, but we all need somebody to lean on. Let’s just call it mentoring."

Can't argue with zen.

Kendrick straight kilt it.

Happy to hear my guy Jay Electronica on the track too. Big Sean had the weakest verse on his own song, still dig him though.

Isn't Kendrick Lamar the gay black character in Revenge of the Nerds?

Oh and Kendrick is by far the best rapper in the world right now

Dude is just so good and versatile

I think all three are great


Hall of Fame is good

Still listening to all the early K Dot and Black Hippy stuff.


He's just so good all around. Versatile. Flow, lyrics, all kinds of styles.


Here is a proper tribute, as opposed to Drake's embarassment
West Coast Wu Tang

Today's Kendrick song is off DJ Khaled's Kiss the Ring album and it features the 3 best young rappers in hip hop (J Cole, Big KRIT, and Kendrick)

Remember when music was about music?

Music was, is, and always will be about people's emotions.

There are many different vehicles for it. Some people like hip hop, some like jazz, some like Michael Bolton, and some like Emo. Its beauty is in the eye of the beholder

This guy's music is about other people's music? Without hearing it myself...this is how you described the lyrics.

You're welcome.

Where did I do that? In this thread?

Anyway if I did it was just referring to the specific song that was the reason Nas started this thread


I'd say his music topics are pretty broad for hip hop. Mostly just about growing up


To me his flow and punch line lyrics are awesome. And he's versatile.

To rock my soul

i was slow to come around, but i'm sold
i think originally i didn't really see anything that stood out about him, just seemed like an average flow and style

but his lyrics are ridiculously strong/good, he really is the best there is out there right now i think
and the fact that he pretty much owns any song he's featured on
that's always a good sign

Yeah, and that They Ready song is a great example. It was obviously originally gonna be just Cole and KRIT (hence the country part in the chorus) but Kendrick ended up coming in and murdering em as usual. And J. Cole and Krit both have good verses.
