God this whole beef between Kendrick and Drake got me loving Kendrick more than I ever did

[dominicariceaga]

Imagine just having a normal conversation with Kendrick. Just chillin

[jauharilee]

Em is definitely the criteria. Em and Jay would have a fire album.

[shawnishere]

I’m black. And niggas keep ignoring Ems goat status, it’s hard for black Stans out here😂

[sleeperino]

Jay and Em are both #1 for me for different reasons

[chilldock]

Definitely seen the Em in him during this beef 😅

Kendricks voice sounds like a less squeaky Eazy E voice. Both are legendary!

[NaydineOlyn-lwer]

I didn't know he has such a calm and soft voice. I'm surprised

[deejkeithanmusic]

I see so much Em in K Dot. The artistry. The range. Versatility. Potency.

[BarryPA]

I love his voice! It is soothing yet dangerous!

[opelomokgadi]

Jcole said the same thing, you can't be comfortable, stop sleeping if you want greatness...

[dissraps]

"Painters practice art, do you?"
*confused Nascar driver*

[Kate-fipr]

I love his voice. It is soothing. He should do ASMR. Rap ASMR.

[tylerbrown]

I never understand the hate Jay gets from so many hip hop fans when he is literally the dude who all of your favorite rappers were aspiring to be.

[rudereptile]

Man Eminem is just something else ... I mean my dude has literally nothing left to rap about.... Thank God for those who dare and diss him ... Thanks (Game, MGK, etc.. )

Lyricism at an elite level is poetry. It’s sophisticated, layered, and nuanced. It takes so much talent to not only come up with the rhymes and the bars, but to also have flow, cadence and delivery. It’s word art.
