The way he just effortlessly switches meter is ridiculous. Easily the best.

Hell, he only got better. 4:30 is insane.

Kendrick is the obvious choice, although if you wanted to point to artists who belong to subgenres of hip-hop that might be more closely associated with this decade you might point to Migos or something, idk

>>71639249
Earl imo

He feels more "genuine" than Kendrick to me in that he's a real outsider only propped up in the industry due to ties with a former acquaintance and more implicitly, luck. Not denying Kendrick's talent, but Earl definitely does it for me.

You're all wrong.

KOOL AD best rapper

Kendrick, Earl or Freddie Gibbs. Depends what youre into really. All 3 dominate different facets of rap. Gibbs got the flow, Earls got the lyricism, Kendricks got the album cohesiveness. I personally like earl the most but id be crazy to say his flows as good as Gibbs or his albums as good as Kendricks

>>71640656
What about my boy Vince Staples

>>71640665
Hes in my top 10, wouldnt say hes the best though. Gotta love him both on and off the track tho

>>71640672

Ka is the most overlooked and probably the best raw lyricist out there. He's not as versatile as Kendrick or as striking as Danny Brown, but he can rap fucking circles around ANYONE else, bar none.

Lyricism is absolutely key in rap and the bars on Honor Killed The Samurai are A+, 11/10, it's immaculate.

Ka needs more respect.

>>71639273
This.

No one comes even nearly close. All of his albums are an 8 or above.

>>71640737

fuck off turz

doom hasn't even done anything this decade he's on his boat in the islands

I think if joey badass next album is as good/better than the previous he's earned himself a top 10 spot.

Other than that, danny brown, kendrick, earl, asap rocky and freddie gibbs are good picks

OD is pretty average and TPAB is unironically a mess of an album.

Not the biggest rap fan in the world, but I'd have to agree with this.

>>71640807
OD is a mixtape and TPAB is unironically a perfect album. How is it a mess of an album?

>>71640807
>TPAB is unironically a mess of an album.
What did he mean by this?

MC Ride

>>71640845
>OD is a mixtape
does it even matter, all of his stuff have a myriad of producers.

His rapping teeters to horrendous at times. Despite having a """"story"""" its still does not feel connected. Just a bunch of disjointed singles. The subject matter is stale and overdone. Hes never had a track as bad as I. And Mortal Man is one of the worst closers ive ever heard.
WHEN SHIT HIT THE FAN always makes me think it belongs as an eminem recovery hook.

And anyone who feels the 2pac samples feel like an actual conversation are delusional.

This is the shittest opinion I have seen.
>His rapping teeters to horrendous at times

>Despite having a """"story"""" its still does not feel connected
TPAB's story is easy to understand but trying to understand every part of the story is more complex making it enjoyable for casual fans and people who want to read more into it. Literally how is it not connected.
>The subject matter is stale and overdone
Examples. Give me an album like this that goes into the subject matter as this album and does as well of a job. You literally can't.
>Hes never had a track as bad as I
I is bad because its radio friendly meme. Please get taste
>And Mortal Man is one of the worst closers ive ever heard.
You aren't allowed to have opinions on music
>And anyone who feels the 2pac samples feel like an actual conversation are delusional.
Literally wrong.

>>71640937
>Examples.
>MUH MATERIALISM
> muh evil gubment
>devil on my back nonsense
>muh evil white people

the list literally goes on.

>doesnt even refute, just immediate dismissal
wew, kendrick stans are truly awful.

>>71640978
> if I attach 'muh' infront of something that means I'm right!
Fuck off retard. Nowhere does Kendrick attack white people or say he needs gibs me dats. And there is literally nothing wrong with rapping against excessive consumerism and dealing with living in a world surrounded by sin.

>>71640978
>muh evil white people
>He literally thinks that the album is anti white

Not even responding to you after this. Because anyone who actually thinks this completely missed the concept and is most likely retarded.

>>71640606

not enough range with gibbs, though he's probably top 5

personally the only one i see as potentially greater than kendrick is young thug, and even then i'm not sure i could really make a strong enough case

kendrick might be a normie legend but apart from that he is actually a legend at this shit for real

>>71639321
This plus Denzel Curry, dude has some big potential

drake > kendrick

>>71641065

he was working with badbadnotgood lately if i remember correctly

some really good stuff on the way from him soon no doubt

>>71641073

lol

yeah i know its funny how much he dominates hip hop not even fair.

>>71639539
Don't you think he's a little overrated?

>>71641106
drake is pop though

>>71641124
hip hop is pop
whats your point?

>>71641132
Some of it is.
But you dont think of drake as a rapper, you think of him as a singer who sometimes raps

>>71641147
which is still rapping?
what kind of mental gymnastics are you running boi?

>>71641161
Many foll pop singers dabble in rapping, but youd never call them rappers.
hes not a predominate rapper, hes a popstar not a hiphop star.
pedantic but true

>>71641132
uhhh? is mf doom pop? is earl pop?

>>71641047

>>71641180
yeah thats called pop-rap which is still apart of hip hop.
tho idk any other popstars making albums like If You're Reading This It's Too Late
but what do i know :(

>>71641182

>>71641204
feels like he transitioned from being an actual rapper to making money and moved to the pop industry while trying to keep up the facade hes hard

>>71641204
>is still apart of hip hop.
Which is why the rest of hipshop have literally made drake a meme. Ask any popular rapper in private and theyd probably tell you drake isnt hphop
