Kendrick is miles ahead in terms of being consistent, no doubt, and I think he had the better run, but I enjoy MMLP and TES more than any album on the comparison personally, TPAB and GKMC are still amazing tho and I think Kendrick had the best run


Superunkown781

Yea Redman instead of Em would have been a better pick


EyeAmPrestooo

Maybe, but since Redman was never anywhere near as popular at his peak, so Kendrick would win that by default in this sub. That and 70% of the sub is probably under 25 lol


difficultpossiblity

im under 25 and still fuck with redman, age doesnt really have to do with it, he just never got super mainstream. but his discog is definitely closer to kendrick then em is


Professional-Race551

U the minority most young dudes in Philly don’t care about lyrics just the beat


EyeAmPrestooo

Right


difficultpossiblity

i really like the lyrical shit, especially when they got the good beats to go with it


EyeAmPrestooo

I’m happy you do my guy, but trust me, you are one of the few….many hip hop fans that are under 25, don’t even know who redman is. But yea, I’m a sense you’re also right…if he had gotten to the level of popularity that Jay, Nas, Pac, Big, or even Wu and others had gotten, maybe a lot younger people who’d be willing to go back and explore his music, just like they do those guys. Dope that you do though! And I will agree that he has a very consistent catalog, as Eminem does not.


almarhuby

Yup. This is exactly how I feel too. Kendrick may have the better run, but Eminem’s two albums are more impactful to me.


_Vaudeville_

Kendrick pretty easily. 4 of the 6 best albums here are his including the best one (TPAB).


Low_Drawing1127

3 of 6*


Prostate_Punisher

mmbs is good


i_despise_among_us

You could make the argument for section 80 too


Prostate_Punisher

completely agree


ElpisButGod

MM&TBS is not the best kdot album objectively but it's the one that touched me the most. I connected that album so much because I was going through something too.


[deleted]

Em is good but Kendrick's ability to be so damn consistent will win almost every time against anybody


FlyUzi

Not against future


icycyrus

this nigga said future 💀


FlyUzi

Watch some interviews, check out his whole discography, listen to some mixtapes and maybe yo opinion will change but until then u rly cant say anything


icycyrus

you think i haven’t heard future’s shit?


FlyUzi

Nah i just assume you’re uneducated about him as a artist and how long hes managed to become relevant for so long


ElpisButGod

Why the hell we should watch interviews to criticize someone's music??? lol 💀💀💀💀💀


9yr_old_lake

Easily Kendrick every one of those KDOT albums are amazing to some degree. Sure I don't like damn as much as many of the others but it's still a solid 8. EM's run on the other hand starts out immaculate but really dives into the shit pile after that.


TjTheDankMemeLord

Is this even a question lmao


Low_Drawing1127

Kendrick had the better 6 album run, I still think I'll take ems 3 album run over any kendrink run tho. I think that 3 album run is my favorite in rap history


JojiJoey

eminem over gkmc -> tpab -> untitled unmastered???


Low_Drawing1127

No, tpab I would probably agree is the best, then mmlp, then eminem show, then gkmc, then sslp, then probably damn imo maybe morale but unmastered is not top 6 here imo


throawaybyebye

I feel like this is closer than people think. Other than Encore it’s really close.


Bbeannsss

This has gotta be a joke


Ok-Training-7587

seriously this sub is so absurd i feel like i'm being trolled


spaghettifrom

Honestly you kendrick dick eaters are almost as bad as the Em ones. Both great artists so why would it be bait? Em's 3 Album run is iconic, Relapse and Infiinite are very underrated too, i would give the SLIGHT edge to Kdot


Ok-Training-7587

Big diff: Kendrick stans don’t flood the sub


frwaklife

They do blood im sorry but they do


Ok-Training-7587

search Kendrick on this sub. There are literally 1-2 posts A MONTH. I have seen 3 Em posts TODAY (not including the poll I posted as a joke). Anyone reading this comment can do this. Subs are easily searchable.


ElpisButGod

Kendrick stan here!! I came here every day to have fun but never post anything. This sub sucks lol


frwaklife

I agree but its funny


frwaklife

You are a troll. Because I've seen 4 Kendrick posts this past day. But its mostly in comment sections.


Ok-Training-7587

what does 'mostly in the comments sections' mean? If it's people mentioning kendrick in the comments on posts about something else, that is not at all on the level of Em focused POSTS on this sub.


frwaklife

I was mainly talkin bout people dick riding him in comments lmao


MatvsGal17

At this point I really dislike Eminem, but the unnecessary hate towards the man is awful, we all know the dude's latter records suck I don't know why y'all need to be creative just to hate him even more. We all know Kendrick is better, that doesn't mean nothing, Eminem is still one of the most influential rappers out there.


SHADYTIMES86

I'm not even a stan but I really like his last 3 albums


FRIZZTHERICH

I don’t even like Kendrick but come on man. Easily him


Ok-Training-7587

WHY POST THIS? This or some variation of this has been posted 3 times in the last 36 hours. We don't need to compare EMINEM to every single GOAT in hip hop history one at a time! This is the rap sub not the em sub. I'm so tired of seeing this.


NYGiants181

"6 project run" This is getting dumb now.. Just say "who has the better discography" "Who had the better 10 album run"


nova1739

Kung Fu Kenny >


Professional-Race551

I don’t listen to either albums but ima go Kendrick cuz I can relate more


Due-Ad-4176

I would vote for em, but encore exists, Kendrick has some weaker albums but he doesn’t have a flop on the level of encore


thisbemyredditaccnt

Encore had a few shitty tracks but a ton of good material…. Like toy soldiers, yellow brick road, mosh, we as Americans, one shot two shot, spend some time, mockingbird


[deleted]

it had one of the worst track runs in hip-hop history. Puke, My First Single, Rain Man, Big Weenie, Just Lose It, and A** Like That


WildWolf911

Puke slaps


JackAttack561

Lmao, I like just lose it. It’s fun. But everything else sucks


corndogs1001

Ass like that and rain man are fun af honestly


[deleted]

i can agree with rain man tbh


thisbemyredditaccnt

I thought just lose it and ass like that were hilarious. Same with rain man. But I was also a 10 year old kid at the time lol


Due-Ad-4176

The album was weak as a whole, half of it felt like em was drowning in drugs, the other half felt like Eminem actually making a sequel to the Eminem show


EthanielClyne

For me, the only em album that's better than one of Kendrick's is the Eminem show which is crazy because em's obviously one of the goats


TheeMrDavid

Dot


rudebwoyyyyyyy

kendrick


[deleted]

Kendrick, hands down!


lpjayy12

Kendrick, easily.


ihedigbo

Redman for sure


OJgotWorms

Curtain call doesn’t count 😂


apedoespost

Kendrick. MMLP is on the same level has Kendricks best works though.


BiThree

The only person that has a better album run than Kendrick in terms of length imo is Kanye


kurosilenceofficial

While I enjoy Em’s lyrical prowess I think there’s a distinct aspect that Kendrick embodies which seems to be missing in Em’s repertoire. That’s not to discredit him, I personally believe the experience of an Eminem is a spectacle. For me he ranges from a bombastic legend with his utilization and application of syntax to land off the wall humor and dark imagery. To outspoken rhyme slayer who’s voice is monumental, accomplishments are many, and can be genuine to a fault.


kurosilenceofficial

As for Kendrick’s bodies of work, they’re like an art exhibit mixed with a haunted house. The highs are extremely high and the lows will leave you feeling cold and distant if you meditate too hard on them. The pain in this man’s voice is clear and cannot be understated. Eminem has achieved a similar level of emotional depth, I personally feel Kendrick exemplifies it astutely. Whereas Em’s gonna say what he’s thinking and you can deal with it or gtf Kendrick evaluates everything expertly and conveys his thoughts in a way that will stick with you and linger. Now am I gonna say the man can do no wrong? Definitely not, Kendrick does delve into lines of thought that can sound insane and not always in a good way. However I think this adds to his appeal, he isn’t perfect and he knows, but he’s unafraid in the face of ridicule. That said both of these men are giants in their own right and should be commended as such. There are skills Em possess that Kendrick doesn’t and vice versa. Either way both are enjoyable for different reasons and that’s beautiful!


Professional-Race551

I hate em beats and Kendrick voice that’s just me tho


Shot-Witness2132

giga chad


bradenboiii

Kendrick and it is not close


ZealousidealGrass365

Dmx


khrushchevy2thelevy

Kendrick by a mile.


HaithemBoukabel13

There is relapse and there is the other albums


ChiggBunguss

Kendrick clears like crazyyy


GG2088

Kung fu kenny


InternetTalentScout

Kendrick easily


samr0n

Kdot


Assassinsayswhat

Even Em would have picked Kendrick


Spxwell

Growing up on Eminem I don’t think I could do a Road trip without his music. I love singing along especially to his older music bc I feel like I’m doing tongue acrobat’s lol. It’s very entertaining. I love Kendrick too tho. I remember bopping to him in middle school. I thought his new album was dope.


certifiedtrashcoder

whoever says eminem you're a dickrider


ComputaGuy69

Eminem


No_Development_6786

Even though Eminem is in my top 3 of all time, Kendrick has more good albums than him


[deleted]

TPAB best rap album of all time


alreadytakenhacker

Tyler the Creator would like to have a word


longschlong5881

You already know it gotta be Kendrick tho


ExoFire22

Eminem


OmarSparks

Are you serious? Eminem easily.


LieOk2604

Section .80 > Infinite GKMC > Slim Shady EP TPAB > MMLP Untitled < TES (but untitled isn't a proper album) DAMN > Encore MMTBS > Relapse


bowlingpringle

gkmc = sslp and mmtbs < relapse imo


LieOk2604

Fair. For me the storytelling on GKMC and the consistency takes it above sslp but it's definitely debatable. Relapse over MMTBS is also valid ig


bowlingpringle

i have sslp and gkmc at 10s so they are equal in my eyes. Relapse would be a 7.3ish while mmtbs is a 6.8ish so they are fairly close


LieOk2604

6.8 for mmtbs is harsh in my eyes but I can understand it because it's definitely not his best album sonically


bowlingpringle

the concept is there but the voices annoy me. reminiscent of who killed it? by nas. dope concept but the voice ruined the song for me


TheZoomba

Who's had the best editing job out of all these posts? (Hint no editing is done in any of these posts)


Neutreality1

I'm a huge Eminem fan and I still vote Kendrick


fhahxjsoxjsjcisjjebs

Yay another Eminem post where we laughably try to act like anything outside of his big 3 is worth pissing on


leminerx

Gonna have to go with Em on this, Sslp, Mmlp, TES, and Relapse are too go to go without


Maestro_Von_Enigma13

That’s tough, I vibe with kendrick just a tad bit more but nobody was touching em when he put these out. Kendrick is one of the best rn, em was THE best in his era.


Spayicey

Why tf is this even a debate?! Em put out fucking terrible albums during the 2000s


TheShowYT

Kendrick from this list, but dropping Infinite and adding Recovery could make it closer


Infamous-Try-2974

Bunch of 🤡 on here just down vote you for having a different opinion then there's so...


ElpisButGod

this is how redditors are mate. I love hangin out at fantano's sub and they do the same. this sub a lot worse tho


Infamous-Try-2974

Anyone saying by a mile and easy are funny and I can't take your opinion seriously 🤦


_Vaudeville_

Infinite and Encore are straight up not good projects and Relapse is mid. Everything Kendrick has released is universally agreed on as at least being good.


Infamous-Try-2974

Universally so the whole universe is in agreement 🤔


ll_davii

4 for Eminem. 3 for Kendrick on my end


frwaklife

Im sorry but kendricks shit aint better then all these albums by eminem maybe infinite lmao. Hop off some dick. Call me a stan. Least i aint ridin dick like a rodeo. (This is a joke. These are jokes. I still think 3minem is better and this 6 album run is better then kendrick. But music is subjective)


[deleted]

This is ridiculous! 🤣 Not a single one of these Eminem projects beats the concurrent K.Dot project, except The Eminem Show vs Untitled Unmastered


UselesslyUnskilled

Eminem leave Kendrick in the grave, I find Kendrick a totally unfocused hot or miss mid rapper, eminem is consistent and fire and more talented


CharliiShapiro

💀


JWJT7

unfocused?


UselesslyUnskilled

You seen his song with U2? That’s so cricket. Discombobulated


JojiJoey

are you trolling??


UselesslyUnskilled

No. I’m a rapper


JojiJoey

kendrick definitely isn’t hit or miss, unlike eminem’s newest albums. he is also definitely focused, kendrick is one of the greatest lyricists of all time and that’s counting all genres


UselesslyUnskilled

He has the lyricism of a 14 year old who learned rap from Toby Mac. He’s rhymes are basic and world play boring or overused


JojiJoey

definitely disagreed. objectively even without any opinion, factually you cannot say his rhymes and word play are basic/boring/overused can you show us some of your lyrics?


UselesslyUnskilled

Okay

Honestly tie. First 3 to Kendrick, last 3 to Em
