I kind of disagree. What are Drake and Lamar gonna do, go after one of the biggest names in rap? That really went well for MGK πŸ˜‚

That said, he'd totally be debasing himself for the equivalent of a petty squabble so I also agree lol

Kendrick is one the greatest rappers of all time so if he really wanted to be could easily go toe to toe with Eminem. However, I don’t know why either of them would want to.

Damn they really came for you. Eminem himself has said multiple times that Kendrick is one of the best ever

This guy said something entirely uncontroversial about the only rapper to win a Pulizer prize for his skill in writing and he's being downvoted to the underworld.

Something tells me a lot of Lemmy users either stopped listening to rap a decade ago or skew in a very particular demographic direction

I'm the former. I've never really been big on rap outside of a few artists as 99% of it I can't relate to at all.

The few songs I can relate to and enjoy listening to I get made fun of for listening to by "og" rap lovers.

It sucks when people gatekeep like that. You can like what you like, even if it's not the most critically acclaimed music
