personal was always in the OP

even outside of personal in reality when you remove who is the most popular and we talk straight rapping no instrumental , no billboard its really not them for me and I am not jokiing

I just cant believe you are serious but if you standing on business

Freedie Gibbs
Boldy James

and many others are more talented than them to me but I dont know if you have a age requirement or what else

says the one that has changed their thread title 5 times as a response to one nigga

I see your point I just cant believe you can listen to other rappers and I mean without instrumental or numbers and think Kendrick, Cole, Drake are the best I am not talking who sells the most merch, tours, none of that

It always said personal on big 3

I change it based on who is interacting and to keep the conversation going if you want ot keep discussing top 3 we weclome to

but if you think j cole, drake, kendrick anre top 3 I just agree to disagree

He’s shown storytelling since 04 on his mixtapes just more Compton street s***, KLEP is majority storytelling, only one song on OD isn’t storytelling. S.80 has strong storytelling songs. TPAB has got a lot, DAMN has some of his best. Mr. Morale is a story on every song but like 2. What more you want? lol

His story telling and concept albums have been mixed post GKMC for me

I said this at TPAB launch too

Yeah this was a bar @op

you can say which rhymes are better because hard bars and wacks bars exist

Big L said "he be f***in with more keys than a janitor"

that's hard asf no explanation needed

eminem said "You got buns well i got Aspergers"

that was garbage asf

I've had plenty of conversations going back and forth about somgs/bars. as long as you aren't having it with a brainless d***riding stan (95% of this website) then it'll be a dope hip hop conversation where at the end both people understand each other perfectly and either they will agree or disagree about it

there were many bars there

I be genuinely hungry and when I listen to a good freestyle I just go in

What about them has been mixed?

Less focused
Less immersive for me
Less replayability for me

TPAB didnt click for me some of the untitleds would have fit perfect

glad people f*** with it though

you a slam poetry fan not a rap fan stop confusing the two

tell that to Kendrick who worshipped 2Pac?

I studied 2Pac since I was like 10

2Pac was a poet.

sup condom eyes

you are the one confused they are not the top rappers there are battle rappers better at RAPPING THAN THEM

Water Giver forgot what rap is about

it also depends how deep someone wants to go on bar a***yze

someone can find an immortal technique or tech n9ne garbage or amazing (which those kind of rappers never have a middle ground of likeabiliy its either all love or all hate)

but overall i agree

the problem is online someone is always trying to make it a contest or prove their "side" is the correct while ignoring everything else

also i think online way overvalues, or confuses, just "punchlines" as lyrical

ironic

2Pac was a poet.

again as I said Aesop Rock is more technichal than Kendrick and its not close

2pac could also make songs & be able to have fun and be serious at the same time - which is what rap is actually about, btw, again - while being a great freestyler and being musical, and he knew the differences between poems and a composition

Kendrick isnt remotely close to a MF DOOM or Lupe for me at any age but each their own thats the point of the thread

like there are people you will never convince me Kendrick is better than I dont care if he got a fire beat and Rihanna singing thats not the point
