people with kendrick in their top 10 rappers
are often not fans of rap. you're never gonna hear a beat
from kendrick that makes you say "woah thats so hip hop" (aside from his last album),
while they are decent, he doesnt rap on straight raw hip hop beats
his delivery doesn't have the confidence and beauty a great rapper does
like rakim, nas or rocky or mos def ETC. idk any quotable lines from him,
more like random adlibs, they're just abstract
