Kendrick Lamar vs Nas *AT AGE 29

[Race Jones]

I think anyone compared to Nas is a tough debate, BUT I'm noticing and having issue with people having trouble with bringing newer artists into the Goat conversation. I get it, you were raised on certain people, your mama and daddy played that shit in the house, that's cool, but there's mfs who came out after who are better. People put these old school artists on pedestals and can't imagine a new artist being compared to them.

K.dot is and should be in the top 5/goat conversation.

are you talking to me? because this isnt the case at all.

I have newer artist in my top 5

and my Top 5 is mutable never concrete.

I'm scared to ask, but can u drop ur top 5.

I only had a 2.0 in high school so im not sure what aesthetic means.

Im just showing the comparison if we look at kendrick & Nas 8 years removed from their debut.

Nas at age 29 was widely considered the GOAT already.

Oh ok.

I have a question....

Why do we compare artist that are generations apart with two different styles?

I mean where is the comparison? outside of "fandom."

I mean you really cant compare 90s rap to rap of today.

Somtimes sonically there is a comparison but thats about it.

and Im not trying to derail.

Yea with a list like that, there shouldn't be any issue with K.dot being in top 5 discussions.

 

[Race Jones]

I dont understand why youre so invested with me putting him in my TOP 5 sir.

I never said he wasnt dope. I never said that he didnt have the game in a chokehold right now. I said I wasnt ready to put him in my TOP 5

relax kang

I have no problems comparing artists across eras.

I just look at it and ask myself who i would rather listen to. Who has the better discography.

Ill compare Goodfellas vs Toy Story if someone makes the thread
