I do agree that Kendrick is on the level of the MCs you mentioned.

I do like him to that degree.

However, I don't think he's above making just good music.

The thing with K Dot is that a lot of his fans already rate his shit classic before it drops. That the shit I don't rock with.

I was anticipating this album but I didn't go in looking for a reason to love that shit.

If he releases Drake type songs...which he did...I'm not going to ride with it because it's Kendrick. That's some fake shit to me.

Btw...Aesop is head and shoulders above Kendrick lyrically. But I'm sure I'm crazy for saying that too.
