If sales is success then Drake>Em over the last decade. Weak argument. Kendrick's 3 albums can go head to head with Em's and imo tpab is better then anything Em's put out.

[@joeljames8165]

Lil Nigglet I’m not hating on Kendrick let’s just get that out there, I like him and have been through all of his stuff (just not K Dot stuff), Kendrick doesn’t really rhyme much, all through DAMN it’s just he repeating the same word or line over and over again to seem like he has a rhyme scheme, it’s rare to find tracks where he had a rhyme scheme which is actually decent, his voice is something I feel like you can’t use as a argument against Em, everything he spits you feel (not encore tho), he is one of the few artist where you really feel his pain and anger, his sadness, storytelling yes Kendrick has that, but I hate how everyone thinks em has one song for storytelling, Fine Line, Deja vu, Bad Guy, Groundhog Day, these are a few of his story telling masterpieces and there’s so many more, Kendrick is yet to do something of the level of Stan, but other than that it’s all he has that against Em, as for flow Kendricks flow on Pimp is average, it doesn’t work with the Jazz, em flows with the beat, like toy soldiers he hits a word only on the sound of the drum beat, as for his faster rap, as I’ve been through pretty much everything he’s made he almost always makes sense even when rapping fast, people need to stop discrediting fast rap as Kendrick can’t even do it, Rigamotus is his fastest and it’s still slow, I’m not saying speed rap makes someone the GOAT but Em is one of the quickest rappers who still stay lyrical, one of the most lyrical, some of the best rhyme scheme in rap, one of the best battle rappers, he’s an amazing story teller and has done flows from a-z, flipping them up constantly in a song, Kendrick tells amazing stories while not rhyming too great, repeating words constantly, and not changing his flow more than once in a average song, also I know there are some examples where he had better rhyme schemes and flows but in a average track Eminem does a lot more, also from what I’ve looked up Eminem has sold more than Drake, just not streamed more

[@joeljames8165]

Lil Nigglet well I respect your opinion and this is just a debate I’ve wanted for a while as I feel like Kendrick is kinda overrated, I do enjoy and love his music, but see I disagree with the body of work aspect, pimp for me didn’t work, like sure the message is good, and the flows would be great if the jazz didn’t exist (I love jazz btw so it’s not hate on that), but I feel like he flows without the music and not too the music, pimp was forgettable to me, I know I’m in the minority but I feel like people argue that he has a message and that’s why it’s good and that’s not a reason for a good album to me, I feel like in terms of rap he peaked at GKMC, Damn was good but it wasn’t anything like MMLP1 and Eminem Show, I agree Eminem isn’t flawless, and Encore is something which was by far his worst to me, but it was a whole drug thing and that doesn’t make him a worse rapper for having a miss, unpopular opinion here but I didn’t think Relapse was bad, infact if you get rid of the accents then you have some of the greatest flows, word play, double triple entendres and rhyme schemes he has to offer. I really cannot say Kendrick is anywhere near Eminem when it comes to rhyming and in his more storytelling songs I felt like it’s more simplistic compared to if Em was to tell the story, Damn was littered with poor rhyme schemes, and was easily his worst album if you was a fan of PIMP, , and I only hold Stan on a pedestal cause it is know as one of the greatest rap songs for a reason, in terms of story telling Eminem has better to offer which is more personal to him and something more relatable, but at the end of the day we all relate to different people. Kendrick is good and maybe one day he can be called the GOAT but I still feel like he’s so far away, technically speaking, like Eminem’s early albums are so relatable to many people and it’s why it hit so hard and inspired so many people to listen to rap and to start rapping. He’s had a much bigger impact, he’s been know as a goat and is always top 3 in almost everyone’s list, look at the rhyme scheme for lose yourself (I know a generic em song to choose but it’s a easy example), you don’t see Kendrick telling a story and saying something which hits hard and people can relate too while rhyming almost every word in the first verse, to me all Kendrick has over Em is storytelling, Em has flow, rhyme scheme, wordplay undoubtably, he puts the most feeling into his music, the list goes on, and when you compare Eminem right now with Kamikaze he’s just back on form, The ringer is possibly the greatest rap song for the past few years honestly, no hook just rap and he kills it, Em has such a wide variety of songs where as Kendrick seems to stick to the more conscious rap, which is great and works for him but it’s just Em will always tick more boxes and it’s why he’s the GOAT, for me MMLP and Eminem show will always be the greatest hip hop albums ever, I wouldn’t put a Kendrick album in the top 5 personally, but respect to your opinion and the songs you told me to check out are amazing undoubtedly, I always felt like people like Kendrick because they prefer his music not because he’s actually better

Regardless of who he mentioned/dissed, he also hinted at his four major influences: Jay Z, Nas, Eminem and Andre 3000.
