Eminem Says Kendrick Lamar is a "Top Tier" Lyricist of All Time  

Dude, you might have caught a reference I haven't seen on rap genius yet

U make musice that pacefy em

First thing I thought from Sway's line. 1000% a reference. No reach.

Impressive catch

That’s a double entendre

Game recognize game

Kendrick playing politics. He's a Wayne/Pac Stan.

@@mellakat80 indeed

Respect

And now Kendrick washes him and has for a while now

And props are definitely due..not been this excited about rap beef since the coasts got into it in the early 90s.

Because he’s a hip hop purist. It’s his fans who are 🗑️. They’re not even hip hop fans.

Like MGK going after Eminem.

He will be heart broken.

😊Yea right?

😂 woulda coulda shoulda

@@ruperte-du5zr Id say more like 50 Cent vs Snoop Dogg.

Even more proud today😂

I know he somewhere rite now just enjoying this moment & getting ideas from Kendrick to apply to his upcoming album lol 🤣

And is

He a hater. Can't celebrate Drake while hating.

Definitely not. Eminem and his 8 mile story is completely fabricated. Kendrick is authentic.

Em probably only sead that cos he was on video...and once Kendrick started dressing like jesus and other weird outfits I stopped Fkn with him..also he tries to hard in my opinion in his songs to be different, I don't get them

Very true. I remember seeing this video -- this exact one -- ages ago. Millions of people who never even knew Kendrick's name now agree with this.

​@@davidstewart1757 tbh how tf was drake ever gonna win?!?! Comparing drake and kendrick is like comparing McDonald's to a local burger joint. McDonald's is more successful... But that local joint will always make better burgers, and its not even close

And Busta Rhymes

Eminem is definitely top 10, Kendrick is #1 now all around rapper. Eminem introduced rap to a lot of white people that grew hip hops audience. If you don't know 80s rappers or 90s rappers there's no way you can have an opinion on the best all time.

Humility is the wrong word, humble works way better

Damn, I love this, wow! What a humble and wonderful take. Eminem's best take of all time. I couldn't agree more wholeheartedly with him and Sway - Kendrick is not only the best lyricist of this generation, but of all time.

He’s one of the best of all time himself so there’s no reason for him to be hating or jealous

@@jasonbelcho8609 Humility is a different form of the word humble. Humble’s in the definition of humility.

@@smmaistheway what a stupid comment

@@angryblonde8639 no he wasn't

As he should be he a 🎉 kdt a 🎉 win win

INDEED

Undeniable. In his first era and at his peak, Em was my favorite rapper for a good few years, he was freakishly interesting and creative, with ☠️skill and an obsession with his craft LEVELS above the rest. There were few rappers with those skills, charisma, storytelling, and most importantly work ethic, even outside the mainstream, let alone right in the centre of it. I dont wanna hear about 2pac, Biggie cos they were a different generation, even though almost the same ages. And JayZ was critically and commercially a star but nothing like the juggernaut Em was, Jays legacy was much more quietly achieved over time. Really only DMX came close with huge hits and talent to match at the time. And Outkast, my fave rap group, but their era weirdly seems both older and tounger cos they started before Em but biggest succes came later with Stankonia. Em gets flogged as if he fluked a couple good albums and everything else since been rubbish but Slim Shady and Marshall Mathers lp, 8 mile road album and movie, the features he did back then and the stuff he did with 50, not to mention dragging D12 to platinum status waa crazt. How BIG he did it all means hes forever a goat. It will never be taken from him. I didnt even include Eminem Show cos I find that often cringy now Im older. Kendrick had similar seismic impact but did it so differently. Section 80 was perfect, again, some of the best rapping and storytelling youll hear on a album/mixtape. GOOD kid was stunning first time you heard it. It was really a whole concept album that worked like a movie. Made chilled out songs, heartfelt tributes to fam and friends, ratchet shit like backseat freestyle that still sounds like nothing else. And he wasnt the same degree of pop juggernaut but one thing he did that Eminem couldnt was make some of his truly deep and soulful songs work as worldwide hits, without trying. Em always played the game with singles. Ive grown out of Em mostly cos even though technicallly his rapping got even more proficient his actual songwriting were almost never at that level again. And I mostly stopped listening to Kendrick in the same way after TPIB. I personally was already sick of p-funk and jazz in rap music. Unmastered similar obvs. But Damn was pretty great. Both artist so good at rapping that I think it makes them less capable of choosing truly great beats though. Early on they both used such good beats but i think are too focused on rapping to be elite best pickers. In terms of rappers who we used to call 'conscious' theres only really Kendrick at the top these days to me though.

​@@anurag02075it's been 30 years

​@@CallingAllTortoises💀💀💀💀

Em always been for the culture that's why so many rappers, young and old, respect him

Drake is a culture Vulture. He stopped off here (UK) & ransacked our funky house (2007-11 era) & took a classic and completely flipped it to make 1 dance. Great for him. But he's a less subtle Jay X for copy and pasting. If you know Jay Zs body of work you'll know how many hooks/beats have been "borrowed"

Cause Drake's fanbase is made of people who don't like rap. If a bar is more than a double entendre or isn't baldfacedly direct, it goes over their heads. Look at their responses to Euphoria as an example. "Kendrick didn't even say anything" when every thought was a different insult with multiple meanings.

because slim shady was a fking joke. he only got good with age

Because he’s white. What white man do you know gets respect from black rappers.

@@Gush27 In all honesty, I don’t really go to him when it comes down to bars. I put Ab-Soul over him

@@BeefGeneral It’s a real great album, but I personally believe Only Built 4 Cuban Linx is the greatest rap album ever. Illmatic would be number 2

💯

Thank you. I hope enough Em Sicarios read this & comprehend just why Kendrick is simply the most consistently vital rapper to do it. And by consistently vital, I mean *introspection, artistic vision, activism & social commentary* BEFORE we even get on to the Saiyan tier cadences, schemes and lyrical play.

@@thetrickisirarelyrespond5945 Facts! A lot goes into his lyricism and word play. So much more than just buzzwords and gimmick punch lines. You gotta isten to his lyrics for months to finally figure out the multiple meanings to just ONE VERSE sometimes! I watch RU-vid and get breakdowns on lyrics and be like WOW...NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT!

@@hookswu6251Did you trip over MGK’s Corpse when ya walked in? Cause D🦫mn… Are you Trippin

It's par for the course for Marshall.. he's always very respectful of the pioneers and the elite EMCEES

@tf_u_talking_aboutbro. Have you heard of a guy named 50 cent? Or maybe how about all the people he influenced. How much he’s done for the game. He’s so good people rewrite verses for songs when they hear his on the song. He pushes for better lyricists and is a hip hop head through and through. He’s the best selling rapper of all time. He had 10 albums in a row debut at number one, and his first studio album (not infinite, but sslp) debuted at 2. He has the most riaa certifications in history and he doesn’t even update them. Brother he has done more for hip hop culture than 99% of any other rappers. He’s one of the top 5 man.

Dude just a hater!

@tf_u_talking_about what tf do u know. You must be one of those "i hate white people" guys. Im white and from Detroit and there isnt one song from em on my playlist. In the streets we dont listen to em but we respect what he has done. You just confirmed your exactly what i said, a hater

@tf_u_talking_about Eminem is an emo rapper 💀💀💀💀💀

@tf_u_talking_abouthe changed it by breaking down the barrier of non black MCs not being respected or taken seriously after vanilla ice. Now there’s loads of successful white rappers even Indian & Asian like Ez mil who’s Filipino he was inspired by em & now he’s gaining global recognition for his skill as a lyricist. Usher even said Em inspired him to make confessions one of the greatest r&b legends. Ems style has inspired loads of MCs after him like Cole, Kendrick, ren, nf, logic ect that showed he influenced hiphop culture even if you don’t personally like him.

Calm down buddy, it’s just a rapper, it’s not Mark Twain. Btw Everyone to scared to talk about Eminem getting Botox injections and fillers like a Hollywood pop princess he used to make fun of back in the day. Dude looks like a plastic f*ck doll

This is nothing but the truth. I just respond oh okay and already know the level of intelligence a person must have to say Kendrick isn't lyrical.
