i could go either way on so many of these, i listen to sm more kendrick than kanye so im probably super biased😭 but even with that these matchups are so hard to pick between, a tie feels right tbh

[@luckyblocks3406]

I agree with most of your choices 100% this videos great, and Wesley’s Theory is probably the better song overall but Through The Wire is just too important to me I absolutely adore it, EXTREMELY close though

I’m gonna give my opinion on these (Kanye is my favorite artist of all time since I was 7 but Kendrick is my favorite artist right now so that dynamic makes this video really weird for me lol) 1.

[@AntonioRunaway]

Maybe, should’ve put a different song

[@tevon6258]

I don't think anyone in Hip Hop will outperform Kanye. He has a catalog comparable to Stevie Wonder.

[@HunterConnorHHP]

Even though it has some of the best music you could find, there’s a good amount of mediocrity when you look passed the classics

[@OakQueso]

@@HunterConnorHHP Weird thing to bring up. Every artist has mediocre songs. I could generously give you 30% of his songs being mediocre (even thought I think its less than that), but that's still better than about any other artist. His hit to miss ratio is better than any other artist I've come across, please point me to anyone who does it better I've been looking

[@AntonioRunaway]

Kendrick can compare for sure

[@BetterWhenUnmastered]

@@HunterConnorHHPi actually prefer new kanye, i like his atmosphere and synths he creates and even his sampling like 4th dimention and Ghost Town is better than anything pre-mbdtf

[@HunterConnorHHP]

@@BetterWhenUnmastered the best of new Kanye is some amazing stuff but I still feel like older Kanye actively had trouble missing. Now Jesus is King and Donda exist and, although not as bad as everyone says they are, they have plenty of issues.

I know its an opinion thing, but bro i was so frustrated with some of these matches that i cant help judging you😭

[@AntonioRunaway]

LMAO some were so close thoo

[@NoSurfacePodcast]

The songs hit different when the person does the production and the song writing. The judging needs to hit a little more below the surface.

[@AntonioRunaway]

True but if thats the case i should just give every round to kanye. But im judging based of how much i personally enjoy the songs

@@AntonioRunaway U did well brotha 🙏

[@ians489]

I feel like with a song battle, kanye has to win. Kanye makes incredible standalone songs while kendrick is the goat of album making. Kendrick made arguably the two best rap albums of all time with gkmc and tpab, but kanyes individual songs are better as many of kendricks are only good in the sense of listening to the album front to back.

[@AntonioRunaway]

Lets not act like kendrick doesnt have amazing songs lol, it literally came out as 10-10

[@ians489]

@AntonioRunaway Kendrick has great songs. You can't make the two best rap albums ever without having good songs. But I feel like on a standalone basis, most of kanyes are better, while kendricks songs shine when listened to in the context of the album. I do, however, think samidot is the best rap song ever made and blows any kanye song out of the water

[@SnoopySnoo]

for me it was 11 for kanye vs 9 for kendrick, only differences are that i did mortal man over flashing lights, through the wire over wesley’s theory, and Jesus walks over dna

Going song for song with their fan favorites is incredibly close and could go either way though.
