[Built 4 cuban linx]

cmon now, first kendrick got like 8 classics, now this shit?

 

[T. Sanford]

KDot was bodied before on a song.........3000 does the murder man dance on features.

3000 verse on Gangsta Shss>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

 

[Lab Baby]

Last verse of aquemini>>>>>kendicks whole career

I think he was talkin about the song "Aquemini" lol but Ironically that song("Chonkyfire") was the only track The Source named that wasn't up to par with the rest of the album.

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

 

[TayGettem]

Tbh Andre is retired from rap so its not a contest Andre has said his not in touch with the times anymore

So its unlikely he will ever drop a solo album

An I think his most recent verse was on T.I's song Sorry

But y'all giving Andre alot of props just cuz his a legend in rap and was what most of y'all listened to growing up

But y'all selling Kendrick sort cuz that boy really is a top tier spitter

 

[za'kiss]

Never been that impressed by Kendrick Lamar lyrically. He has good content though, not much in the way of bars IMO.

As for Andre 300, well, 'nuff said.

Ms. Jackson >>>

Y'all niggas buggin w/ these polls. Kendrick Lamar is mad overrated imo, simply because there's hardly any other "lryical" mainstream rappers to choose from. The bar is so low these days.

 

[R.D.]

While i don't think they're a world apart like some people reacting...this wasn't really hard

As I think about it, Dre does everything Kendrick does better. Only thing you could use to lean towards Kendrick is him having more solos

I think Kendrick is only overrated from a certain subsection of fans. Overall he isn't overrated imo.

Andre 3000 is easily the better technical Lyricist and MC he's top 5 greatest of all time Lyricist and MC. 1 of the most complex MC's ever. I find his music really boring but can not deny that he is top 5 greatest ever Lyricist

But Kendrick is the better overall Rapper and to me makes the better music than Outkast and is much more entertaining to listen too

@Stew about to catch a body

 

[mackanaven]

Kendrick.

[Verse 1]

I used to want to see the penitentiary, way after elementary

Thought it was cool to look the judge in the face, when he sentenced me

Since my uncles was institutionalized

My intuition has said, I was suited for family ties

My momma is stressing, my daddy tired

I need me a weapon, these niggas ride

Every minute, hour and second, ministers tried to save me

How I'm gonna listen, when I don't even hear God?

Heaven or Hell, base it all on my instincts

My hands dirty, you worried 'bout mud in your sink

You like to mistake a street nigga for real nigga

The same nigga that killed with ya, a squeal with ya

I deal with ya like my son, stare at the sun

And you'll be looking in my eyes, homie

Stand for something, or fall for anything

And you working with two left feet at the skating rink

But anyway, this for my niggas

Uncles, 23 hours sending me pictures

I want you to know that I'm so determined to blow

That you hear the music I wrote, hope it get you off Death Row

You came home to a pocket full of stones

A Metro PC phone, then you went back in

So when I touch the pen, the pen is in my view

I'mma get it right, just so you

 

[GunTown]

Kendrick.

Kendrick vs Andre bar for bar?

Really?

 

[GunTown]

Bar for bar, word play, punchlines, double entrendres, metaphors, multi's, rhyme schemes, battle raps, similies, flow

Jay Z, Nas, Canibus, Andre 3000, Big Pun

Are better than anyone

But thread is clearly asking better 'overall' rapper
