Kendrick Lamar and simply because he's hungrier and extremely versatile. He's more of a technical rapper and he's going to get even better with time. 3K's heart aint in it like that no more (eeeaasssyy now @Stew LOLOLOLOLOL) , 3K is nice af no doubt but Kendrick will become a better rapper than him off the strength of sheer passion. He's already 2 classics in and aint eem use his Dr.Dre cheat code yet. When it's all said and done Kendrick Lamar will be on Eminem's level lyrically.... As for 3K nevermind a solo we'll be lucky to even see an Outkast album in a decade.... read it and weep.....
You think Eminem is more lyrical than 3000? -

Andre 3000Sion just lost my respect
-
Andre 3000Kendrick himself would even tell yall he aint better then Dre

Andre 3000Last verse of aquemini>>>>>kendicks whole career

Lmao.. ? this thread

Andre 3000Andre 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 ? all dogs/Then what do you call broads/felines in heat meowing for some yarn ? "
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

Kendrick LamarAfter that 50 Cent J Cole poll I don't take these seriously anymore

Andre 3000Styles 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
? 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 ? for a whopper with cheese
Do you
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 -
Andre 3000I think its pretty obvious that 3k is one of Kendricks biggest influences.Andre 3000 and i'll tell ya'll why.

This is the answer to the thread. Dre got bars that you wont get till years later and ? . -
Andre 3000Well that was easy

SMH @usmarin3 mangling those bars from TAOS4

Andre 3000I 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, ? like 3000, Lupe, Nas these ? 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.

They're both ill, Andre has the longevity and the better wordplay. I just wish he'd come with a real solo album tho.
-
Lol what?
This."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"
This is what he said in that verse:She said, Why you in the club, you don't make it precipitate?
You know, make it rain when you can make it thunderstorm
I'm like, Why?
The world needs sun
The hood needs funds
There's a war going on and half the battle is guns
How dare I throw it on the floor
When people are poor
So I write like Edgar Allen to restore, got a cord- -

Andre 3000
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. -
