His catalogue imho, doesn't touch a Jay, Nas, Big or Kast (we all know Andre was the catalyst behind their major success)

As a matter of fact, song for song, Kendrick ain't in the same league as those guys. And I love him for who he is. But his music is not beyond reproach. I can't name one song of his I can place above those other artists' greatest songs in their prime.
