college dropout
bar for bar song for song overall quality and storytelling i have to give it to Kendrick but the energy evoked on songs like Family Business and Last Call is truly magic. kendrick has overall proved himself a better rapper than Ye but that authentic emotional feeling is something i’ve yet to see any rapper really recreate or even come near
What does it mean to be a better rapper when you can recall far more Kanye quotes than Kendrick ones? Yknow what I mean? Like we know it’s not all about technical ability because otherwise Eminem would be considered the goat.
Same goes for Metal, there’s really noodly bands that just shred in crazy time signatures, but are their songs that memorable? There needs to be a balance of experimentation and accessibility in order to truly push culture forward.
Kanye’s records do that more than Kendrick’s although he of course is a genius in his own right and has made multiple outstanding classics such as GKMC and TPAB.
GKMC
The college dropout skits get annoying as hell and workout plan is terrible
GKMC has no skits? All the songs are 10/10?

Kanye openly doesn’t write his own raps brother so that alone puts Kendrick above him as a rapper

Did I say it had no skits what are you trying to ask me?
And yes every song is amazing it’s a perfect album
I’m sure it’s been said but GKMC is not his debut album
TCD vs Section 80 = TCD
LR vs GKMC… now that’s really hard
I like section 80 more than TCD as well
TCD was a beautiful moment but I think Section 80 and GKMC aged better
Bro that was the best era of mixtapes ever too
Because niggas would give you an original song thats the future of the sound but then rap on their favorite mainstream beat the next song
So Far Gone is actually a really good example of that, it was genuinely a mixtape in the sense that the beats he was picking felt like u was going through his playlist
Like yea we gone rap on dj screw, 808s & heartbreak, hov, santigold etc like bro put his ipod on shuffle and rapped and then was like oh yea take best i ever had and successful too
man i really think is commercializing tapes really took away a creative safe space for rappers :(

Sxn 80 over college dropout is a lil crazy bro lmao
Adhd gotta be a top 5 dot song though
CD changed the game
man i really think is commercializing tapes really took away a creative safe space for rappers :(
Its why I always argue hard when people call rappers commercial mixtapes albums, or when people say whats the difference
A mixtape and an album is 2 different mindsets and you can tell by how some niggas is better on mixtapes and some is better on albums
Sing about me or last call ?
last call and it's not close. would rather listen to just him talking about his come up over the beat than sing about me
Sxn 80 over college dropout is a lil crazy bro lmao
Adhd gotta be a top 5 dot song though
Yeah I would never be mad at someone for hating that take lol
But man Ronald Regan Era, Rigamortis, Hol Up
That’s when I knew Kendrick was different different

Yeah sxn80’was one of them ones fasho
definetely gkmc. College dropout is flawed and not even his best, it has some great songs tho
Both albums have really high highs and the impact is undeniable but overall they didn’t age that well for me and both got a few skips, i could go either way depending on my mood
