Kendrick Lamar crafts clever wordplay like a Scrabble champion. His music can rile up and/or rejuvenate the masses. Don’t tempt him unless you want the repercussions. Like Ice Cube said, “check yourself.” You see like Common, Kendrick’s voice registers with Joe Public and that means something.
So, where do you rank Kendrick Lamar among the best in the rap game? I feel he is a highly rated player on par with Tyga. Actually, he is better than Tyga (who is great btw) I just couldn’t resist writing that cool sentence. You see Kendrick Lamar doesn’t have many equals in Hip Hop and it’s an injustice.
Combine talent, naturally/ God-given gifts, and work ethic and you get Kendrick Lamar. It doesn’t take Einstein to solve the K-Dot equation. Staying committed to the cause/ provides a way out of the clause.
Plus Kendrick Lamar makes some of the best music videos in the industry. His Poetic Justice video featuring Drake deserves an honorable mention. And Taylor Swift’s Bad Blood is one featuring Kendrick that should get recognized more often.
Society needs music in order to thrive. Music keeps humanity off the brink of extinction. What would you do without art?
Who knows? In a couple of years, Kendrick will be the number 1 favorite overtaking the likes of Drake. He can record underground mix tapes and mainstream pop songs alike.

The explicit lyrics and originally creative content of Kendrick Lamar defines his greatness. Replay the Recipefeaturing Dr. Dre for the full whammy as he pours out his overflowing juices. Rhyme comes easy to the Compton rapper because it’s hard enough “living just enough for the city.”
Sometimes, I swear he should be a comedian because of his sound effects. Martin Lawrencehas an entertainment effect. “Martin had a dream. Martin had a dream. Kendrick have a dream.”
