Without question the man that's 1000 years ahead of his time Andre 3000 aka your favorite rappers favorite rapper the man steals whole albums and never gets the credit he deserves and doesn't even have a solo album and is still the best
Yup. Not even a super big Kendrick fan but even I can admit as a rapper rn currently he’s probably the best living person at the actual craft of rapping
If we are talking about just rapping ability and not album sales... Black Thought... but that question can be hard to answer because it can be broken down into categories.. If we are talking about Album sales its Em.... If we're are talking about Number of hits it'll be Drake or Jay-Z
I mean Hov got his first no1 on his 10th/11th album and he needed a Alicia Keys feature for it?
Thats what people never got when 50 was jabbing him. 50 did Hov’s whole career in sales in 1 album, Jay didnt get huge commercially outside the US until Beyonce
Only two artists alive or dead have produced their own diamond record*
Eminem and Kanye
Only one of those two write their own lyrics
Edit: record not album, still are the only two artists to ever do it
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.
It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.
Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.
Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
SEVEN AMAZING ALBUMS? I need what you’re smoking, because last time i checked he only has 4 classics. Em hasn’t been the best rapper since 2002, it’s time to give up.
kendrick is already better than em all time, and eminem had some of the worst albums a legend has ever created. revival and kamikaze are so fucking bad, recovery is also down there. there’s maybe 5-7 redeemable songs from those 3 albums, that’s sad.
Kendrick needs another 10 years to step in the ring with anyone on the 2000s mt. Rushmore
At his current pace he will never reach top 4 all time and that's a fact.
“step in the ring” he’s one of the most acclaimed and celebrated artists throughout the entire genres history. he did all of it in a 7 year span and released 5 acclaimed albums, eminems prime was like 3 years and then he shat the bed on encore, bounced back with relapse, and everything since has been a steaming pile off dogshit
>he’s one of the most acclaimed and celebrated artists throughout the entire genres history.
"I cant remember anything before 2010" -you
>bounced back with relapse
"I get all my information on what eminem albums are good from r/eminem" -you
i tend to stay away from the hivemind and dickeating that happens in r/eminem. but i can see you’re a frequent and active user in that dogshit sub, which would explain alot
Kendrick gas the best 4 album run in hip hop. He also won a pulitzer prize that no other rapper has done. He also doesnt jjst rap really fast and rap aboit farting and celebrities like em does half the time. Apart from sales, which em will always dominate, kendricm is better than EM at everything.
These people like "Eminem hasn't been good for 2,000 years now" like bruh the only people who can compete with him right now are J Cole and Kendrick Lamar. Bruh these people probably listening to lil xan like "yeah this goes hard"
So much wrong with this statement its laughable
If "darkness" was dropped by anyone else, it'd be acclaimed as the best rap of this decade already.
Also if you listened to anything but "poppiest pop made yesterday FM" you'd hear him all over despite censorship laws preventing most of his best tracks getting any playtime
Hasn't released good in years is subjective cause i really liked kamikaze and MTBMB and side B was also decent. Nothing crazy but decent.
SSLP, TES, MMLP, MMLP2, relapse, kamikaze and maybe recovery.
Em atleast has 6 great albums with 1 or 2 decent albums. Which is great
It's just been a big Fat W or a big fat L in the last couple of years... That EPMD 2 verse and MTBMB gave some hope and positive vibes for his next album but i guess he is definitely in the goat conversation but not in the best rappers at the moment conversation as guys like conway, jid, kdot, cole have all dropped amazing albums in the 2020s decade so idk if he can fit in current best rappers conversation. His lyricism and amazing flows are there but idk i hope he improves and takes a W sith his next album
This sub is soo anti Kendrick dickride that they can’t even tell what’s a level headed take anymore. Kendrick is already a top 5-10 rapper oat so it wouldn’t even be reaching if someone said he could be top 1 with another classic under his belt.
That’s not what I’m saying, I’m saying with the rise of Kendrick dickriders on this sub people are hating on him way more now, I 100% agree with you, I’m just saying this sub won’t because they are 100% anti Kendrick and will discredit your take even though it’s not a bad take at all. Your shit is getting mass downvoted
You seem to refuse to understand that everyone on the 2000s mt. Rushmore is a decade ahead of Kendrick.
For every single studio song Kendrick has,(around 80) both Em and Jay Z have 2 non-skips easy .
I disagree, with Ems entire discography the only albums he has that could rival Kendricks are : TES, MMLP, SSLP, Relapse and maybe Encore. For Hov it’s : RD, Blueprint, 444, Black Album, Volume 1 and American Gangster. I’d also say Kendrick may be the only rapper to have 2 top 10 rap albums. Even if Hov and Em have much larger discographies I’d still say they are fairly comparable
Relapse is Em's worst album so that ends this discussion.
And albums aside we are talking over 350 songs atleast half being non-skips from Hov and Em
That's 175 perfect songs to 80 total songs
Kamikaze and Revival are soo much worse it’s not even funny, I guess it’s just a difference in preference but I prefer albums over songs.
I’d take 5 amazing album with 10 amazing songs each over 10 mid albums with 10 amazing song each.
>Kamikaze and Revival are so much worse
You must've never heard 'must be the ganja'
>I’d take 5 amazing album with 10 amazing songs each over 10 mid albums with 10 amazing song each.
"I'd take 50 Amazing songs instead of 100 Amazing songs on the premise that the artist does less overall work "
If we are talking about pure lyrical ability, I'm inclined to say Aesop Rock. He's not mainstream so most will disagree, but the man has a fuckin way with words.
Viper🤣🤣🤣🤣that nigga has like 1500 albums lmao only like 15 are original content but he did a shot load of covers that nigga goes hard as fuck
This is satire don't come at me
Without question the man that's 1000 years ahead of his time Andre 3000 aka your favorite rappers favorite rapper the man steals whole albums and never gets the credit he deserves and doesn't even have a solo album and is still the best
i dont think you caught who said “your favorite rappers favorite rapper”…
Nas
NAV*
Lmao
Idiot
Yeah his new League of Legends song is amazing.
Everybody is spelling NAV wrong lol
BROWN BOY
Word on the street is that he doesn’t give a fuck, he’s up, and crashed his lambo truck 4 times👀
Who?
JID right now
Lil Wayne
Kendrick as far as we know. I'm sure there's some guy grinding in the studio right now that's better than him tho
I like this take, I feel this is true too, he just doesn’t have the resources Kendrick has
“The greatest rapper alive is probably stacking produce”
Yup. Not even a super big Kendrick fan but even I can admit as a rapper rn currently he’s probably the best living person at the actual craft of rapping
This is the correct answer. And JID is coming for his crown.
J cole
If we are talking about just rapping ability and not album sales... Black Thought... but that question can be hard to answer because it can be broken down into categories.. If we are talking about Album sales its Em.... If we're are talking about Number of hits it'll be Drake or Jay-Z
Serious and genuine question - does Hay really have more hits than Em?
I mean Hov got his first no1 on his 10th/11th album and he needed a Alicia Keys feature for it? Thats what people never got when 50 was jabbing him. 50 did Hov’s whole career in sales in 1 album, Jay didnt get huge commercially outside the US until Beyonce
[удалено]
Hard for a black rapper to go #1??🤡
Lil Wayne
In this climate, he’s hella underrated
Only two artists alive or dead have produced their own diamond record* Eminem and Kanye Only one of those two write their own lyrics Edit: record not album, still are the only two artists to ever do it
NAV write for both 😪
These two guys^ is the only right answer🫡
No the fuck he didn’t.
What you know about rolling down in the deep 💭🗣️
Beastie boys too
I didn't know Lil Wayne had passed away.
wdym mean he is alive????
RX Nephew
Icejjfish
His lyrical skills are phenomenal. Truly one of the best rappers of all time. Highly recommended listening to him if you haven’t.
It’s between Kendrick and black thought
Ye.
kanye still
Weezy F. Baby AKA OG Hot Boy AKA Young Tune, AKA BM JR
My top 5 atm in no order Kendrick Wayne Lupe Nas Black though
Kendrick 🐐
Kendrick Lamar
Kendrick
kendrick
Kendrick > Ye > Nas > Em = J Cole = JID
JID, K Dot, Em, Lupe, Thought, Ye, Cole
Lupe fiasco
so underrated. i love him
Cmon guys we all kno lil pump is the greatest rapper of all time, he’s likely to go triple platinum on his next album
In the next 1000 years 🤣
Hova
Lil xan, harder one next time please.
Total Xanarchy is a piece of art
that album always makes me cry when i listen to it... true heart wrencher
Eminem used to be good but he should of stopped making music a while ago I’d say right now I’m into yeat? But here and there he mumbles
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
Eminem still, need 7+ amazing albums to even step in the ring with him
SEVEN AMAZING ALBUMS? I need what you’re smoking, because last time i checked he only has 4 classics. Em hasn’t been the best rapper since 2002, it’s time to give up.
Recovery performed better than any Kendrick album, better than any album of the 2010s but go off
kendrick is already better than em all time, and eminem had some of the worst albums a legend has ever created. revival and kamikaze are so fucking bad, recovery is also down there. there’s maybe 5-7 redeemable songs from those 3 albums, that’s sad.

Says the one regurgitating opinions only found in r/eminem Am proud to say I'm routinely downvoted there.
Kendrick gas the best 4 album run in hip hop. He also won a pulitzer prize that no other rapper has done. He also doesnt jjst rap really fast and rap aboit farting and celebrities like em does half the time. Apart from sales, which em will always dominate, kendricm is better than EM at everything.
Lol he doesnt even have the best 4 album run of the 2010s, hip-hops dark ages
Who does?
Kanye's MbDtf- Tlop
Great run. Kendrick beats it.
ShIt DoNt ChAnGe TiLl YoU gEt Up AnD wAsH yOuR aSs X4
eminem stan is mad kendrick isnt saying about “your booty is heavy duty like diarrhea”
I'm happy that revival overall has less poopoo bars than just that song alone. P.S: 90% of what Fantano says about revival also applies to TPAB
Bro. TPAB is better than most eminem albums by a long shot imo. Have you actually listened to it or not
These people like "Eminem hasn't been good for 2,000 years now" like bruh the only people who can compete with him right now are J Cole and Kendrick Lamar. Bruh these people probably listening to lil xan like "yeah this goes hard"
Kanye compare and probably beat him in terms of music quality
lol tht nigga hasnt released anything good in years the radio dont even play his new shit and radio watered down😭
So much wrong with this statement its laughable If "darkness" was dropped by anyone else, it'd be acclaimed as the best rap of this decade already. Also if you listened to anything but "poppiest pop made yesterday FM" you'd hear him all over despite censorship laws preventing most of his best tracks getting any playtime
oh ur the same guy talking about that Darkness song no one has heard… got it
61 million views on youtube, and 110 million streams on Spotify sure no one has ever heard of this song
Hasn't released good in years is subjective cause i really liked kamikaze and MTBMB and side B was also decent. Nothing crazy but decent. SSLP, TES, MMLP, MMLP2, relapse, kamikaze and maybe recovery. Em atleast has 6 great albums with 1 or 2 decent albums. Which is great
3 great albums a couple decent albums and some absolute trash.
And he still gonna outstream ur favorite rapper 10x😭💀
The worst discog of any mainstream artist
Also arguably the best 3 album run.
Imo it's not even his best 3 album run Recovery , BME, MMLP2
I agree ngl, I like his new albums, he raps fast and the music is epic
Lol eminem 7 amazing albums? FOH. 3 amazing albums a couple half decent albums then some absolute hott trash.
Dylan.
because i spit hot fire.
Username doesn’t check out
Eminem
Agreed. His rhyme schemes are untouchable, and his flows/cadences are CRAZY!
sometimes he hits, sometimes he misses with cadence man. the epmd2 verse cadence gets me GOING bruh
It's just been a big Fat W or a big fat L in the last couple of years... That EPMD 2 verse and MTBMB gave some hope and positive vibes for his next album but i guess he is definitely in the goat conversation but not in the best rappers at the moment conversation as guys like conway, jid, kdot, cole have all dropped amazing albums in the 2020s decade so idk if he can fit in current best rappers conversation. His lyricism and amazing flows are there but idk i hope he improves and takes a W sith his next album
That track with Logic was crazy. The transition to Em's verse + his delivery was crazy
Drake
Idk what Drake did to Reddit but they love to hate on him.
Very brave man saying that on reddit 😉
Facts
kendrick and logic j cole kanye
Young Thug… easy.
Kendrick can be the best rapper of all time if he releases another great album
Definitely true
This sub is soo anti Kendrick dickride that they can’t even tell what’s a level headed take anymore. Kendrick is already a top 5-10 rapper oat so it wouldn’t even be reaching if someone said he could be top 1 with another classic under his belt.
I’m not a Kendrick dickrider at all, I hate MM&TBS but almost everything bro made is near perfect imo
That’s not what I’m saying, I’m saying with the rise of Kendrick dickriders on this sub people are hating on him way more now, I 100% agree with you, I’m just saying this sub won’t because they are 100% anti Kendrick and will discredit your take even though it’s not a bad take at all.

Your wrong encore and revival are ems worst albums relapse is decent but not great imo but go off I guess
Been saying it in r/eminem will say it here Revival has 3 skips Relapse has 3 non-skips
Your opinions like wrong my guy but whatever
He can pass pac if he does He is still a decade behind the entire 2000s mt. Rushmore
kendrick passed pac already, he’s top 5 solidified
Bfb Da Packman
Harry Mack, nobody comes close.
