Lol @ 'yea cuz he produce too'...Ok, so does Black Milk. So did Blu. Krit got a better record than Below the Heavens? Dont answer that bc I dont feel like debating that but point is: Where is Blue right now? Yea ok...
Yall love that man lls this thread is a pretty silly question
And fuk the popularity Kendrick is actually BETTER ANYWAY! !! Better rapper, bwtrwr,artist, better music.
But you know why yall pickin Krit???
First album niggas love me cause they thought I was poor
Guess I'm successful; industry don't love me no more
Wow. The IC is this cliche...

kendrick a great artist and rapper but so is krit, yall can let all the weird robotic voices fool yall and act like "but but but i cant understand country slang and i dont like subwoofers" is a hindrance if u want to tho. only advantage kendrick has is making a single that can get substantial radio play, and getting a record label push, that's IT, kendrick kill features? so does krit. aint heard kendrick kill krit on a track they both were on yet. but it has been the other way around. kendrick has deep substance in his songs, tuh, so does krit. kendrick known global? cool he might be known more globally, but krit tour all over the globe too. not too shabby for a nigga yall say is only known online and in the middle of mississippi...
lol @ niggas callin krit irrelevant and local and comin in here with a got damn black milk and blu. like kendrick more if u want but come on guys..

most of them post were three years ago as well, there's still two years left to determine, its longer than a long shot but what if in year 4 krit goes triple plat and kendrick barely scratches gold, u niggas know fans is fickle like that and will be talm bout, "kendrick irrelevant!" but thats a reach, the following isnt, im just sayin, krit aint irrelevant and kendrick isnt "clearly" a better rapper.

1 of the biggest injustices of modern rap lol Is:
All these new niggas gettin their name lumped in with Kendrick Lamar undeservedly
Cole, Wale, Krit...They are not on his level people.
2 critically defined classiss, not personal favorite classics, not 'good ass mixtapes'. This why the game misses the Source. Without it 3, 4 niggas will just MAKE FHD = Pimp a Butterfly for te sake of their interests
You cant talk your way into elite status.

its funny u say that cuz the ic is the only place they're considered classics from what i see. your 6 homeboys dont count as eeeeveruwhere else. matter fact its seems the ic threw out the "lets see how long it lasts" rule for classics with tpab. yall niggas called it classic after hour 3. thats why its hilarious as fuck to see niggas call other artists over hyped on the ic in defense of the ultimate overhyped artist known as k-dot. and u said critically defined classics, not personal fan defined classics, so which is it? cuz the critics define those artists albums as pretty close to if not classic from what i see. but what u describing is some FAN personal favorite shit.
imo kendrick and krit both have good to great bodies of work but not classics.

Classics take time. The critics don't decide that and neither do the fans (although a fans subjective and personal interpretation of a classic holds more weight than a critics analysis without time).
@S2J you willing to argue with everyone but The Source? You scared of Benzino?
That said, if there is any album in the last five years that might universally be considered a classic or instant classic: it's GKMC. I like Krit, but he hasn't and likely never will make an album that has the same widespread impact as GKMC. I'm not saying that because I don't like Krit or any of that bullshit. Krit is dope and none of this is a knock on Krit I hope he has his time in the sun, but GKMC changed shit. A whole lot of shit had to fall in place to make that album as special as it is. That shit changed the game. Classics are not only defined by time, but when those joints are as timely and impactful as GKMC they define that period in time.

what is this impact and game change that GKMC had? what is it that makes it so special?
cuz it me its just a good album.

Look bruh, this isn't about how you feel about the album. Everything after GKMC is measured up against Kendrick's shit. Cole's last album is a clear example of that. Cole basically dedicated a song to him (and Cole's album was great). What other rapper was accepted, praised, and promoted by greats from this rap shit the way Kendrick was in the past five years? What other album has received the type of universal acclaim that GKMC has from the mainstream and the underground? What other rapper is being apologized to by other rapper's because they won an award and he didn't? What other album in the past five years was as widely anticipated as the follow up to GKMC? What other rapper in the past five years has his songs sung at protests?
Kendrick resurrected Dre, he resurrected the West. I'll go so far as saying that Straight Outta Compton the film wouldn't have achieved the success it did if it were not for Kendrick's success prior to the film. He put Compton back on the map.
This shit is getting redundant.
You can ignore the current climate of shit because it suits your narrative, but objectively speaking GKMC had a huge impact on multiple different cultures. You not being moved that way is anecdotal.

i dont have a narrative, im just not gonna over hype shit.
no diss but ur response is almost laughable. what are these pieces that had to come together, being mentored by dre? gkmc is a nice album in 2012, but i wouldnt say define that year. accepted praised and promoted by rap greats? oh u mean just like every other rapper mentioned in this thread? universal acclaim, we've been thru that one.. getting an apology from macklemore is impact now? lmao... widely anticipated, just like albums from every other rappers mentioned in here(drake and cole especially).... ONE song sung at a protest, that isnt even on the album with such an impact...ok i guess... kendrick did reinvigorate the west, but boosting dre and straight outta compton, HA!!!!!! and u say my thoughts are anecdotal...
im not ignoring the climate of anything, as a forecaster fans like your self are just reporting shit that aint happening...
hey if u think gkmc is classic cool(that should really be the main factor anyway) but its time for yall to chill with the over hype, its disgusting. they played a song from the recession when we got a black president and niggas dont say shit as crazy...if in came i here and said "krit changed the worlds view on tellin stories about cars forever! his songs played from caprices pulling up to the protest!!" would that be "game shifting impact"?
imo its just a good album and it isnt killing any of his peers best albums(except prolly cole's). he didnt necessarily influence a song style or way of rapping, he hasnt received acclaim that is so far and ahead of his peers

It's funny how cats always compare Krit and Kendrick and make up crazy ass storylines for them. They both put out quality music and tour. Making money only difference is krit is more regional while Kendrick is more mainstream.... Drake still out doing them tho

I rather have him stay underground. I don't want him to go mainstream. Keep making that ridin music. I don't want to hear no KRIT Feat Lana Del Rey or Taylor Swift. I hope he reaches Tech N9ne status when it comes to the fetti.
To answer the original question, K.Dot no doubt.
An for the people downing krit or jcole when they get compared to Kendrick
Y'all seem to forget Kendrick recognized there talent and skill along time ago
An has given them props multiple times
Now do I feel Kendrick is overhyped ya, the perfect example is the control verse...if u check the lyrics alot of that verse was filled lines or rippty rap
What made the verse was the name dropping...everyone took it as a diss but really it was a nod of recognition he named every new generation rapper he felt was a contender for the rap throne
An basically said he got respect for them but can slaughter all them on a track and is the best rapper out of the new generation
An will go down in history as a legend... That's literally all he said nowhere did he say fck them..etc etc so it wasn't a diss
So I never understood how folks doubt them cats skill against Kendrick when even Kendrick himself noticed there skill and perceived them as a contender for g.o.a.t rapper at one point and time

so mainstream appeal, again. Kendrick being more of a storyteller I could give you maybe but it's debatable . Krit works with artists from Ross to The Roots to BB King. Krit sounds better on his own production though IMO

GKMC and TPAB are the only 2 Kendrick projects I fuck wth heavily. I have like 5 from Krit. If i had to choose ones work to be gone forever it might be Kdot (yes I'm aware this opinion lost the "one has to go" poll)
