    Kendrick is at the top of rap right now. Who can dethrone him?

    Is it Cole? Drake? Who is it?

    I'll never understand what people see in Kendrick. I don't even think he's the best in the West, let alone the best period. Game > Kendrick

    Kendrick is the best thing to happen to this genre since Kanye West.

    Tbh I don't think Kendrick is quite there at the top yet. So I don't think it's applicable to ask who can surpass him.

    This is true actually :manny:

    I think he'll cement himself with this second album though.

    Not trying to imply disrespect towards the GOAT Kenny I'm just sayin in terms of recognition from the general populace, I wouldn't think Kendrick is rated #1.

    This is true but no one can make hooks like 50, he's literally the greatest of all time at that. :whew:

    And that's what I define as "on top", is who is the most recognized as having talent.

    I doubt anyone atm can really surpass him. He's his own biggest enemy at this point, just gotta keep it up with good quality music.

    Term-X relevant.

    Nah, the message is going to be too profound for it to flop, the critics will EAT up all the social commentary etc, plus the album sales will be there 'regardless' and Jimmy Iovine will push for the boat out for marketing/promotion etc.

    Apparently 'i' flopped, but it was the NBA anthem, on every new movie commerical, performed on every major tv show and RapGenius.com song of the year.

    Word I'm talking about rappers though.

    RIP Nate Dogg though, so many classic hooks on his resume.
