Who is the king of hip hop right now /mu/
Andre 3000 will release his yearly verse and still pwn those wankstas
this man

tough question since both divide the field of appeal pretty cleaning. one's strengths are the other's weaknesses.
personally i think kendrick is extremely overrated for all the things people most like the attribute to him except for his ability to bring through a concept at an album level. as obvious as it is, it really seems to be a feat to actually do it and to pull it off so consistently and elegantly two times in a row is extremely impressive.
but the songs aren't as good. on some basic musical level drake has an unmatched talent and intuition for everything that moves people.
>>63485507
wow even his clothes match his cup...
>>63485507
>>63485542
Seconding these
>>63485542
are those mustache hairs i see?
>>63485470
the one who actually writes his own music
>>63485470
king of hip hop right now = drake
kendrick is much more talented than drake though
incomparable
>>63485835
This. There isn't a king of hip hop anyway, that's a KTT-tier conversation. Music and culture don't work that way,
Drake would be great if he didn't half-ass everything. I mean jesus, he hardly even bothered with Summer Sixteen, and that's an album song.
Drake commercially but seriously Kendrick
>>63485957
The fact this wigger has a fucking tank top that says "fuck college" is all I need to know. This shitty edgelord just panders to redneck high school kids tha hang out in wal-mart parking lots.
>>63487136
I didn't think either of them did.
drake is legit king of memes which means he's an unstoppable force in society
>>63488178
The fact that this nigger has a fucking hoodie with the hood up is all I need to know. This pseudo poet just panders to leftist high school kids that hang out in drama club
>>63488249
drake producers his own, and writes some of it.
I'm pretty sure kendrick write his aw well but doesn't produce.
Kanye
lmao hip hop is such a joke. These rappers are nothing but celebrities paid to act as the face for like twenty different actual musicians; most of them don't even know how to play an instrument.
>>63488425
I know, these are the same drooling retards who act like Kurosawa, Spielberg, or Felini actually do anything besides watch other people make movies for them.
>>63488484
You're misspelling Fellini, indicating an ignorance of cinema. You're also ignoring the fact that virtually all of those filmmakers understand perfectly well how to play their instrument (the camera) and are extremely familiar with film theory.
>>63488484
is this sarcasm?
i mean kendrick's skill in assembling the albums he does it very much like that of a movie director. that kind of skill is actually really rare. much more so than some grunt moving a light or suggesting a line or playing a part here or there.
NEW NEW NEW is fucking killing it dude

Of these two it's Drake, but overall this is the correct answer >>63485507
>>63485470
i was tormented by this question when i was 16, now i know its 2000% bullshit.
but
R: Drake
hip hop dies in 2016, thank god.
final chapter

I wanna fuck his mouth

I don't see Kanye, Kendrick or Drake as being able to take the crown...meme rap, imo. Out of them all, probably Kendrick was the closest with GKMC (a legit goat hip-hop record) but I don't know what the hell TPAB was
It's been alternating between Jay and Em since the early 00s, I'm guessing unless Andre or Mos come back and release a couple of records, no one will take the crown.
Maybe Joey Bada$$ in a few years
>>63489828
>I dont get what the hell TPAB was
opinion Discarded
>Mos Def
>anywhere near the best MC
senpai he's not even the best MC in the beatles. You do have a point with Jigga tho.
Joey Bad is getting there right now but itll tough to beat Kendrick when he's releasing b-side albums that make most rappers look fuckin un-creative. Anyone who cares should listen to lose control, aim high and ready by joey tho, his next album will probably break my ears
>>63485470
Kendrick. I like Drake but I see him more as the king pop rap
>>63485957
>tfw i know people who thinks this hack is good
smdh
The Best is Lupe. He has a chance to secure and cement the crown with his plans to release the three albums he's been working on forever this year.
But I highly doubt he can takeover, it seems he's shaken off any chance of mainstream appeal.
>>63488425
a rapper with a band... what a concept.
>jim morrison was a hack, but those dudes behind him were great.
>>63485470
>>63485957
>tfw my brother unironically likes this guy
>>63490279
Didn't this nigga go nuts? Talking about the Illuminati and shit?
if i was to choose out of those two, id choose that one that actually writes his own lyrics
>>63490279
He's also a Street Fighter god
He literally beat daigo

>Being this retarded
Drake doesn't produce shit. He has confirmed ghost writers, so we don't know how much of his shit he really writes.
Kendrick writes his own shit and is a much better rapper than Drake.
>>63488072
God fucking yes

EW EW EW

You're like a human pussy repellant.
neither of those clowns
>>63490279
This.
Plus he plans to make more trap-flavored songs, and you can imagine how amazing a trap song would sound with Lupe bars.
He actually made a song with Future already and blows everyone else away:
