Is Kendrick Lamar this Generations NAS?

[illscan]

I can't see any other artist compared to Kendrick, or nas, or biggie, or jay, or EM, or pun.

Reason being they made their own style. So it's hard to compare.

And although Cole raps with influence from a lot of the greats, the only person I can see him being compared to is Joe budden

You can hear Kool G Rap all over Nas & Pun.

Accurate comparison. So who is the new Jay? Big? Pac?

 

[King of Trash Style]

Accurate comparison. So who is the new Jay? Big? Pac?

Daylyt is Pac

G Herbo is Scarface.

I dislike the "who's the new ______" question because I feel like it's a disservice to the current artists and their own skills.

Of course you can be influenced by somebody, but we have so many great hip hop artists now and we try to compare them to the older greats instead of letting them have their own lane. Not to mention these guys are and will continue to influence generations like their predecessors.

That's somethin that has ALWAYS been done. NaS was the Rakim/G Rap of his generation.

I don't think it necessarily means they are the clone but it's more of who they represent to this generation. Or what role they play in the game

Drake in no way is comparable to Jay in any way. Worse comparison I've ever heard in my life.

Now this is very accurate I wasn't even mad when a handful of people compared Drake to Lauryn Hill

WTF are cats listening to?! These comparisons are absolutely repulsive.

Who in here is making comparisons?

Roles and comparisons aren't the same thing.

If I say lebron is the mj of this generation...that's not saying lebron is mj.

 

[SoleByThePound]

He's a better artist than NaS.

Not sure if there will EVER be a better MC than NaS, but Kendrick may be the closest one.

Kendrick wants to be Pac-like.
Cole wants to be NaS-like.
Drake wants to be Aaliyah.

All of this

I'd say Kendrick is a hybrid rapper. I hear Pac/3 stacks/Common
