Going with Kendrick, Nas is a very close second tho..

both had great albums and killed features all year, but since GKMC was better than LIG I'm going with Kendrick

Nas is the only solid choice up there. Lupe fell off a cliff and the rest of those guys aren't what I would call lyricists.

O.C. is a lyricist, and all of them are emcee's also

 
Of course, it already seems people are saying Nas just because his history at being a lyricist.

I personally think dude is on cruise control at this point.

Yes. Nas is the GOAT, but people are voting like its untouchable 94 Nas we talking. He's not 01 Nas. I personally think Nas was more lyrical on Distant Relative then he was on LIG.

Nas gets my rapper of the year nod, but i think Lupe & Kendrick would rap circles around Nas. 2012 Nas that is.

I cosign this to an extent. Nas might be on cruise control but Nas on cruise control lyrically is still superior to the majority of the game.

Kendrick definitely is up there this year, and while I'm not the biggest fan I'll give him his props for dropping a game changer for the masses. Nas album is just better IMO and lyrically I feel the content was appropriate/mature considering how long he's actually been doing this.

Okay, but we're not just talking LIG vs. GKMC. Its Kendrick's verses on other artist albums and mixtapes too. the cypher, the on spot freestyles at radio stations. The more i think about it, the more i feel Kendrick just runs away with it. I feel you, but your going back to "old days" and not stayin in 2012.

Kendrick needed a lot of that for momentum and to generate interest in his project too though. Nas isn't going to be doing the cyphers, on the spot freestyles etc. because he's a proven veteran. And when it comes to the overall product, I think Nas wins this one because of the material and content on LIG.

I guess well agree to disagree on this one lol
