[@pickmeup95]

charles hills His was better. Kendrick's was pre-written btw

[@DFMusic811]

Kendrick - storytelling, flow, delivery Soulo - entendres, metaphors, punchlines, and overall wordplay Both incredible at what they do and they continue to be to this day.

[@fazormcghee7936]

I think objectively we can say Kendrick is a better rapper but kendrick was heavily influenced by ab soul. Ab soul would have always been the rapper he is but if Kendrick never met ab soul, he never would have became as good as he became. He completed with soul back in the day and that competition pushed him to be better because ab soul was the best rapper in black hippy and it was obvious. It's like with biggie and Tupac. Biggie was the better rapper but pac was bigger than rap. Soul is the better rapper but kendrick is bigger than rap.

[@odwaathabilempelwane619]

You still saying that?

[@probablytachi8875]

@@odwaathabilempelwane619 when I saw him perform it was as like watching a nuclear explosion happen in the background ur not in danger but shit was going down, Kendrick was just okay even tho Kendrick’s music catalog is arguably more diverse he’s just not at the performing level so depends on how u wanna look at it. I also met soul at a video shoot the energy was a lot more turned down so maybe Kendrick had a bad performance and ab just had a really good one. Idk, But from what I saw ab souls delivery in person and presence makes him a better (live) artist. But better overall I’d say about equal. Different strengths/ weaknesses
