    Kendrick is one the greatest rappers of all time so if he really wanted to be could easily go toe to toe with Eminem. However, I don’t know why either of them would want to.

      Damn they really came for you. Eminem himself has said multiple times that Kendrick is one of the best ever

        This guy said something entirely uncontroversial about the only rapper to win a Pulizer prize for his skill in writing and he’s being downvoted to the underworld.

        Something tells me a lot of Lemmy users either stopped listening to rap a decade ago or skew in a very particular demographic direction

          I’m the former. I’ve never really been big on rap outside of a few artists as 99% of it I can’t relate to at all.

          The few songs I can relate to and enjoy listening to I get made fun of for listening to by “og” rap lovers.

            It sucks when people gatekeep like that. You can like what you like, even if it’s not the most critically acclaimed music

      Not the guy you responded to… But I don’t hate Kendrick. I just think it’s weird how people watch these beefs like it’s American idol. If I was to pick a side it would be with Kendrick. But I really just think all this shit is stupid. It’s apples to oranges. Then again I don’t really listen to this type of music. I just don’t understand why, if someone is claiming to be a real hip-hop emcee, they would go against drake… Who is an entertainer.

      Beef is lame. Beef is for when you have someone threatening your life, or freedom. Right? Idk anything other than that is just drama?

      Tbf I’m ootl on all this. I don’t really listen to either… Although I think listened to DNA? A few times.

        Well Drake is the biggest rapper right now and considered to be in the “Big 3” along with Kendrick so it’s not all that surprising Kendrick would diss him. Drake being a fake rapper only adds to that really.

          I’m out of touch lol. I probably shouldn’t even chime in. I dipped out of radio music when the baking bling era started peaking.

          (Not saying that to sound stuck up or hate on emcees… I’m Just very out of touch with that culture.)

          Edit: shit… Saying radio music is even outdated.
