I'm legit blown at that hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha I don't think anyone is saying he's the GOAT. That's clearly Eminem. But Macklemore is unequivocally top 7 all time.

Well then we agree. He's top 5 in my book also. I agree with you also that if he's above or below Macklemore is inconsequential. They are 2 and 3 depending on the mood ones in.

daveakl Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Top 12: Reggie, Jay-Z, 2Pac and BiggieAndre from OutKast, Jada, Kurupt, Nas, Eminem, Macklamore, Kendrick Lamar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 (edited) Outkast, Kanye, Kendrick, Doom, Tribe would be my top 5 hip hop artists. Kendrick is the best doing it this decade and certainly worthy of being in the GOAT conversation. He's got a discography that can compete with Kanye, The Roots, Tribe, Outkast, all of them. 5 great projects with no sign of slowing down whatsoever.

Why am I Mr. Pink? Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 How has RA, Brother Ali, Slug One, Lil Dickey not been mentioned yet ... Honestly .. Kurupt? Jada .. as in jada kiss? (I used to date one of Gail Gotti's manager types .. wife of Kurupt. Id get to go back stage and stand with all the female groupies that got brought back after the show. Then some big guy would come and pick some of the groupies to go to the back back area and Id just sit there by myself and eat their 5 hour old catering. Good ole days) I promise I wont come in this thread again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mammajamma Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Lupe still best alive. kendrick is building quite the resume though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Lupe deserves some love, but he fell off around Lasers. I don't know how Macklemore is in this discussion, I don't believe he's put in enough work to be in top 5. Kendrick Lemar is cool, but I also feel Big Sean is underrated in terms of hip-hop artists this decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had best rap album 2 years ago with Tetsuo & Youth not to mention his non-album work over the past 2 years might be his best. he's on top of his game right now Edited April 20, 2017 by mammajamma 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StillUnknown Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Lupe is probably on the mt rushmore of pure lyricists, but he also annoys me i have to be in a certain zone to listen to Lupe, which keeps him off my lists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Drogas Light was worse than any Kendrick project since the KDot days. Pretty wack stuff, especially Pick Up the Phone. T&Y, Food & Liquor and especially The Cool are my ****, but his discography is so much weaker than Kendrick's overall largely because his ear for beats and hooks is so much worse. Lyrically, they're very close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said he won best album, so was looking around to see who gave him such an award for that album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
