Idk, people always be hatin on others for having him in their top 5 but even though he's not very lyrically talented, he has a timeless flow/style and I'll never get tired of him and Dre.

Or he was jus motivated by his music? I guess only people from Cali can understand, I grew up on all of Snoop albums literally .

[@JaxRiley]

@@tiffanymantovani9500 Wasn't even talking to you 😂 and I was talking about Snoop.. I agree with you about Nas being better than Em tho, his lyrics just hit harder - although Em has a wider vocabulary and better production behind his songs, so it's pretty close for me. As for Jay, I like his beats a little more than his rapping, and I do like a lot of his songs, but he ain't even in my top 10

Its his top 5 I respect it since those are likely his most influential rappers to him. That's the beauty of others top 5 its what inspired them or motivated them in hip hop.

Lord forbid he pick someone else. He played that REAL safe lol.

[@lorcanzo2498]

It’s a good list tbf

[@13CL456]

Like Kendrick Lamar cares about “being safe”. Like it’s impossible he happens to pick 5 of the most iconic artists in hip-hop history as his Top 5 and mean it. I’m close to his age, grew up in the same era, and that is a totally valid list. Honestly, it’s pretty much exactly what I would’ve imagined, save for maybe Snoop. Would’ve been cool for him to go with an unorthodox pick like Kurupt or maybe a Pharoahe Monch, but I can dig it.

[@nicpayne8258]

Let’s be honest, he’s not gonna name any underground/lesser known rappers like Guru, MF Doom, Raekwon, Treach, etc. all his notable mentions are gonna be bigger than he is.

[@brentrebrab]

But if yu listen to his music yu know he tellin the truth. Yu can catch the influence all these have had on his music over the years

[@SUBZER0GREEN]

@@nicpayne8258 I hate how these lists are always a popularity contest. MF DOOM is objectively a better *ARTIST* than anyone in this list including Kendrick himself. My list would be DOOM, Ye, Kendrick, Black Thought, and Andre 3000. Basing top 5 lists on anything but creativity and skill is pointless
