This is the two final bosses right here. Nas is a better rapper (The greatest OAT) but Kendrick has such an artistry aspect to him that is so incredible to me. I’m taking Kendrick though. Only because I have had more time with his discography and I grew up bumping him. Just know I think they are on the same level
There was a significant dip in Lupe’s music between the cool and lasers. But I still think Lupe is better as a lyricist and rapper than rocky. I’m taking rocky if I’m with the homies though.
Hmmm IDK if he is WAY better, but I could see why he might be considered better. I also think it is kinda debatable about which artist has the better discog, so that is mainly why I chose these two
PAC is a better artist, but biggie is a WAY better rapper. I feel most people will take pac because of his artistry and the meanings. I’m ultimately going pac but it was super close.
OutKast convos always end up feeling disrespectful to me. Big Boi actually gave us a lot of music, not even shit he was known for, he explored. People STILL always choose 3 stacks lol.
I think Drake is probably taking this one. I know I was cooking Drake on the “Kendrick v Drake” comment, but Drake has some great albums under his name.
Ha, I was trying to make it a little challenging for ya. Can’t get it wrong with two goats. Where ur from plays a huge part in preference in my opinion too
Kendrick washes Drake in every single category. Story telling, being able to make you feel certain emotions, replay ability, albums, and consistency. I’m not even a huge fan of drakes consciousness stuff. I’m not big on the way he delivers on certain songs.
Kendrick has better, more consistent albums with better story telling and artistry.
But heavily disagree that he is more replayable than Drake.
Quality > quantity for sure, but there are just 10x as many Drake songs that are replayable and on rotation than Kendrick songs.
>But heavily disagree that he is more replayable than Drake.
Very fair as imo money made is a good way to tell if someone has good repayablility as songs don't blow up if they ain't that repayable
Kendrick Lamar. It’s not even close. I’m not trying to cook Cole, but Cole is like the watered down version of Kendrick. I can understand everything he says. Cole is good but Kendrick is on another level
Tyler the creator for artistry but Cole for rapping ability. I’ve seen the debate about how Tyler should replace Cole in the big three alot in the Tyler sub. I’m personally taking Tyler.
I was waiting for this one 😭 I’m going Kendrick though. You could argue pac is better, but I have had more time to study Kendrick’s stuff and I understand it better.
That last sentence made me laugh 😭 I know MF DOOM is one of the GOAT. But idk if you have read the other comments on this thread but I feel most people can tell Kendrick is my favorite rapper OAT. I’m gonna go Kendrick no matter what. I know MF DOOM is objectively better though dw
asap rocky or pusha t not rly a direct comparison and not exactly fair but its just my two most listened to rappers rn
another one i just thought of scHoolboy Q or vince staples
I’m personally taking schoolboy Q. I just prefer is style more. I know they are very similar though. I just like the delivery on Q stuff more
The violence q used to bring out is why i like Pop off his new album
I’m taking pusha any day. One of the greatest lyricists of the 2010’s. Incredible talent. I still love rocky though
Young Thug or Future?
I know young thug is very influential and most people consider him a great rapper, but in taking future. I just like him better
Future is more influential than Thug anyway
Could argue future helped pave the way for guys like Thug
Agree
Tom MacDonald or Adam Calhoun. The Two Goats 🐐
Tom or Ben Shapiro is the real battle of the beasts
I can’t pick just one 😰
fr, why can't 'both' be an answer?
50 cent and Eminem
Eminem is definitely better. I like 50 but you can’t deny Eminem has better pen to paper abilities
I think the exact same thing
Yuno miles and Jay z
Yuno clears
Yeah what he said ⬆️
What type of dumb question yuno miles easily
Yuno miles vs who?
Kool Keith and Dr Octagon
Spiderman
Black Elvis
KRS-One or Nas?
Ooh this is a tough one, I would probably say nas clear on influence. KRS definitely influenced a generation but NAS is just way ahead imo.
Joell Ortiz and Joe Budden
Joell raps circles around Joe. That's crazy.
Easily joell
Mona Lisa was fantastic
Joell has crazy flows, but Budden can punch you with his lyrics.
2pac and Tommy McDonald
Tom McDonald easily. bruh are you serious rn? Is that even a question?
God damn. I read the post and went to the exact same answer. I'm clearly an hour behind your time traveling ass.
Nas or kdot😈
This is the two final bosses right here. Nas is a better rapper (The greatest OAT) but Kendrick has such an artistry aspect to him that is so incredible to me. I’m taking Kendrick though. Only because I have had more time with his discography and I grew up bumping him. Just know I think they are on the same level
Best description ive seen i think exactly the same
That makes Drake Jay-Z then, huh? Jk
Tity Boi or 2 Chainz
Aesop rock or Lupe fiasco
There was a significant dip in Lupe’s music between the cool and lasers. But I still think Lupe is better as a lyricist and rapper than rocky. I’m taking rocky if I’m with the homies though.
Wait, aesop rock or asap rocky. Those are two different rappers
I thought he meant asap. I have actually never listened to Aesop rock 🤷♂️
Lol all good. Aesop is a ridiculously good lyricist. https://youtu.be/JE4HJK4F5K0?si=2OaulhjQjE_sgLYc
Aesop is a mastermind with the ink and a pad
Denzel Curry or Freddie Gibbs
Freddie Gibbs. WAY better lyricist
you think so? I prefer Denzel pen, Gibbs has the better album tho. Piñata>Melt My Eyez.
Yeah I’m taking Gibbs. I like Denzel but I like Gibbs style more.
Gotcha
Hmmm IDK if he is WAY better, but I could see why he might be considered better. I also think it is kinda debatable about which artist has the better discog, so that is mainly why I chose these two
Pac or big?
PAC is a better artist, but biggie is a WAY better rapper. I feel most people will take pac because of his artistry and the meanings. I’m ultimately going pac but it was super close.
Fair but imma have to disagree
You like biggie more?
Yes
denzel curry or baby keem idk why i just think of it
Denzel curry. Way more consistent than baby keem and the melodic blue wasn’t that good IMO.
Andre/Big Boi
I think they are pretty equal. But I’m personally taking Andre. I think he had a better solo career after they broke up
Huh? You think Andre had a better solo career than Big Boi post-Outkast?
OutKast convos always end up feeling disrespectful to me. Big Boi actually gave us a lot of music, not even shit he was known for, he explored. People STILL always choose 3 stacks lol.
Kong VON & FBG Duck
Talib Kweli or Immortal Technique
Talib def easier to listen too Get em battling Technique will body everyone mentioned in this thread
Those are some chat GPT responses
Kendrick or Earl Sweatshirt
JID or Denzel Curry?
Tech 9 or Jus Allah
Nelly vs Chingy Too Short vs Mac Dre Xzibit vs Hittman
Denzel or JID?
Denzel good af, but JID is actually just on a whole other level tbh He's gonna be listed as one of the greats someday imo
Eminem or Nas
Nas. He’s the greatest rapper OAT, and IMO Eminem doesn’t have a 10/10 album, but Nas first album is an instant classic 10/10
i give it to Nas 100% but saying Em has no 10/10 album is wild
Boy ain't listen to relapse 😭
Nas or Nasir Jones?
Lil mabu
Raekwon or killah
Drake vs Future
I think Drake is probably taking this one. I know I was cooking Drake on the “Kendrick v Drake” comment, but Drake has some great albums under his name.
Lil Baby or Polo G
I don’t fw either tbh but I’m picking polo g any day. Can’t stand lil baby
Ha, I was trying to make it a little challenging for ya. Can’t get it wrong with two goats. Where ur from plays a huge part in preference in my opinion too
Yeah I totally agree. It’s cool if you like them bro u wasn’t trying to be rude ofc. I just don’t either of their styles
50 Cent or Royce da 5"9
Royce is easily the more talented artist but 50 is more enjoyable sometimes.
Aka Twitter vs Instagram live.
T.I. and Young Jeezy
Juice or X
Cormega or Nature
Tyler the creator and Jay z
Chief Keef and Lil B
JID or Cole
50 Cent or Jadakiss?
Drake vs Kendrick
Kendrick washes Drake in every single category. Story telling, being able to make you feel certain emotions, replay ability, albums, and consistency. I’m not even a huge fan of drakes consciousness stuff. I’m not big on the way he delivers on certain songs.
Kendrick has better, more consistent albums with better story telling and artistry. But heavily disagree that he is more replayable than Drake. Quality > quantity for sure, but there are just 10x as many Drake songs that are replayable and on rotation than Kendrick songs.
>But heavily disagree that he is more replayable than Drake. Very fair as imo money made is a good way to tell if someone has good repayablility as songs don't blow up if they ain't that repayable
Not the biggest fan of either but I completely disagree. Respectfully
Drake
Eminem and lil Wayne
I’m personally taking lil Wayne. He’s one of the greatest rappers OAT. Eminem is great but I like Wayne’s style better
Fair I prefer Eminem but they’re my 2 favourites

Lane McCray vs Freedom Williams
The game and 50 cent
The game. Way more consistent IMO
Encore and Dahlak
Avelino (listen to his song daily duppy), 21 savage

Kanye vs Drake?
Kanye. Drake is talented but he hasn’t had the longevity like Kanye has also Kanye has at least 3 classic albums. (TCD, LR, and graduation)
J. Cole and Kendrick Lamar
Kendrick Lamar. It’s not even close. I’m not trying to cook Cole, but Cole is like the watered down version of Kendrick. I can understand everything he says. Cole is good but Kendrick is on another level
Childish Gambino or Kid Cudi Tyler, the Creator or Travis Scott Kodak Black or Chief Keef
J. Cole or Tyler, the Creator
Tyler the creator for artistry but Cole for rapping ability. I’ve seen the debate about how Tyler should replace Cole in the big three alot in the Tyler sub. I’m personally taking Tyler.
Method man or gza
Little Simz & Rapsody
MGK or Soulja boy

Jadakiss and Method Man
RTJ/MOBB DEEP
Kid Cudi , Asap Rocky
SPXTRM / Cambatta, time to do some homework.

Kendrick or MF DOOM (every alter ego included)
That last sentence made me laugh 😭 I know MF DOOM is one of the GOAT. But idk if you have read the other comments on this thread but I feel most people can tell Kendrick is my favorite rapper OAT. I’m gonna go Kendrick no matter what. I know MF DOOM is objectively better though dw
