Can we all agree that Kendrick Lamar is the best modern day rapper?

kendricks been around far longer than any of them so its a great disservice to all parties to compare them
that being said all the guys u named are rly young and only "hot" bc they all sound the same
i cant see any of them standing the test of time

>>72250662
yes bitch that is a widely held opinion

>>72250740
i even kind of think hes better than drake.

>>72250662
mumble trap doesn't have much fuel left, but yes Kendrick is the best rapper working at the moment and a strong contender for GOAT despite what shitposters say

>>72250776

I dunno, everyone at my school is into it, and I constantly hear trap coming from peoples phones, and people rapping along to it. Also given the whole thing with people saying that "trap is finally good", in reference to Denzel Curry, Young Thug, Travis Scott, Future, etc. I don't see how it could die off soon.

yeah but only americans dig trap tbqh, and it's such a shitty, shallow genre that it's bound to die and be forgotten, just like gangster rap in the early 00s, ringtone rap in the late 00s, and Ludacris/Akon type pop-rap in the realy 10s.

also id like to add that gangster rap has some really, really great music, it just all came out in the 90s. In fact Dre's 2001 is a strong contender for GOAT hip hop album

After this album, Danny is definitely better. I'd put MF above him too.

You really gonna lump Denzel Curry in with that crowd? Sure, he spits over some trap beats, but he's a respectable rapper in the traditional sense.

That said, I love Thug and some of Travis Scott's music.

I mean, Rocky ain't that silly. What about L?

>>72250662
Your post is probably gonna get a lot of hate especially with DAMN. just coming out and Kendrick being as outspoken as he is about social issues but I agree. He's not the best lyricist or the catchiest rapper out there, but he aims for a lot higher than pretty much any other rapper and definitely any other rapper with as much mainstream appeal. He's not really trying to create hits - even songs like Swimming Pools or Alright or HUMBLE. have their place in the greater work that he's making. I think a lot of people can see that and it connects with them, at least subconsciously, and that's how he manages to have pop appeal and critical appeal.
>>72251135
It's pretty disrespectful to put Tyler and Rocky and even Chance in the same conversation as those other guys. Not that I don't dig all of their music to at least some degree but they're not really that great of rappers.

>>72251017
Denzel isn't there yet, still kinda comes across as an edgy teenager. I'd probably argue him there in the late teens tho

>>72251213
>Rocky
I'm pretty sure he was talking rap on a purely technical ability level. In that respect, Rocky is seriously one of the best. Tyler and Chance, on the other hand, ain't that strong.

I wasn't denying that trap will go away at all, I completely agree that it will become extremely dated once it's over, I was just questioning OP's thoughts of it going away anytime soon, as in the next 5 years per say.
>>72251120
I'm only putting him in there because that;s what others have said, and he's the only artist that I like out of what I mentioned. I love Denzel Curry, and I do agree that Imperial is more than just trap, even though it has that production style.

>>72251256
What's your definition of technical? Rocky has a smooth flow but he's not exactly pushing out bars with crazy metaphors or dense rhymes or anything like that.

>>72251409
Niggas got good lyrics as well as awesome comedic effect. I enjoy the guy more

>>72251213
>but they're not really that great of rappers
In execution they're much more excellent with variety. Tyler and Rocky are damn good lyricists, but they're still trying to refine their style and haven't gotten as experimental. Same thing happened to Del in his earlier days when everything sounded way to similar, or at least, until he collaborated with Alburn.

Tyler and Rocky are not good lyricists. They're passable, meaning they're not bad, but when people remember them ten years from now I can promise you it's not gonna be for the quality of their lyrics.
>>72251508
Idk, I see what you're saying but I can picture Rocky sounding decent over anything that isn't made for fun or partying or something. The couple of times he has tried to be a bit more serious it just comes off as lame to me because he has no emotional expression in his voice. That being said I haven't given his newest stuff too many spins and think he hasn't really had good production to work with since his mixtape and maybe a couple of tracks on the debut.

Not only is Kendrick one of the best rap artists of all time (probably the best, his track record is basically unprecedented at this point), he is also amongst the most technically skilled rappers of all time.

He's probably not the first person people think of when it comes to technical rappity rap, and I think that's because that's not his main priority when making an album, because he doesn't always need it when making a song, or sometimes it dilutes the message. But when he wants to, usually on guest verses, he completely wrecks shop. People like Aesop Rock, Big Pun, Eminem, etc. are usually first mentioned as technical rappers, because they need to focus heavily on their technique to make up for their creative/artistic shortcomings.

Not only did you intentionally misrepresent what I said (again) you ignored my question (again). How about you just Google the history behind the urinals? Maybe then you'd understand why they're a thing. It's basically IRL shitposting and critique aimed at showing how art exhibitions will include anything so long as you pay for the admission But no, you purposefully choose to stay ignorant. I won't be replying to your bait posts any more, but I do feel bad for you.
