Lmao.. Fuck this thread
Andre 3000 and i'll tell ya'll why.
What makes Andre 3000 special to me is he is the only rapper i know who can make conscious raps not boring. He drops little nuggets in his raps that's food for thought and it's so subtle and resonating.
"She said, why in the club you don't make it precipitate/ I said why, the world needs sun/there is a war going on in this world that no man is safe from"
"If niggas all dogs/Then what do you call broads/felines in heat meowing for some yarn balls"
Technically it's not even that close to me either. When i listen to Kendrick it sounds like he tries too hard to be lyrical and wordy. Andre 3000 can say in 8 bars what Kendrick can say in 32 bars. It's that quality that GZA has also, his words and the little food for thought hold more weight with less words. I'm not taking anything away from K Dot because he is nice. Andre 3000 is just special to me though.

I'm not ready to give Kendrick that stamp just yet. Maybe when it's all said and done.
And SMH @ Em being the barometer for premier lyricism. C'mon broham. Yes, he's one of the best. No, he's not thee best. His fall off has been too drastic.
Pharaohe Monch and Lupe lyricism >>> Em's. Sorry @Sion and @Stew

After that 50 Cent J Cole poll I don't take these seriously anymore
Styles will change. They say change is dang-erous
As a King standing on the terrace
While his partner pointing up at the riflemen
Coward shooter, never know when your life will end
Then live like there ain't no 'morrow
And if one come then this the motto
Now I put message in bottle
You go to the nearest beach and open your car door
And walk to the place where the sea meets the land
Yeah, it's easier to run the street than walk in the sand
Hey, I'm talking young man. As if chalk in my hand
I will take y'all little ass to school
It's cool when the kids call me Sunny, the hood calls me Stacks
The B's call me honey, Hollywood calls me back
Crack and I have a lot in common
We both come up in the 80's and we keep that bass pumping
That's a nega-tive comparison, embarrassing
Unfortunate that if you come up fortunate the streets consider you lame
Ha, I thought the name of the game was to have a better life. I guess it ain't. What a shame
I don't slang. Never slung but I'm one with the slum that has a name well fitting
Plenty cheese getting. No wonder why they call it the trap
So watch your tail and I'm not kidding
The rats and mice will give advice, they say, "you can paint and draw
Get out of here. Go show them that we're more than slanging raw."
That's when I broke into my Big Rube impression
And I tried to enlighten but that night I learned a lesson
That the morals that you think you got go out the window
When all the other kids are fresh and they got new Nintendo Wiis
And your child is down on her knees praying hard up to God for a whopper with cheese
Do you B) hit the street hard with a flair
Or do you A) go to school for heating and air?
Dare make an honest living or make a crooked killing
Or do a bit of both until you're holding on a million?
Brilliant. You got one foot in, one foot out
You put your left foot back in and then you shake it all about
You do the hokey pokey til you turn your life around
That's what it's all about. 3000 out

I'm not too fond of either of these choices so I picked Kendrick because I have 2 Kendrick songs on my phone

SMH @usmarin3 mangling those bars from TAOS4
I had a compelling argument for Kendrick based on the success he's had crafting quality albums. But man, if we base it on "go in the booth and get busy" Andre's in another stratosphere. With respect to X-men, niggas like 3000, Lupe, Nas these niggas is class 5 mutants, verses that will sit you on your ass, consistently. Kendrick will give you that feeling at times, but not consistently. Kendrick can't freeze you like a "made Nas proud" or a "Mural" can, control is his crown jewel and it's not on the level of those works, he's always solid though, more than above average, he's just not going to blow your mind like Andre would. I know Kendrick has 2 and a possible on the classic side, but I honestly believe 3000 streaming his consciousness for 15 tracks of straight hip hop will set the world on fire.
