I use the terms interchangeably, so what I meant to say Kendrick isn't a heavy using punchline rapper.

Something is always about "well, I feel like someone is better at it, so that means this guy can't do it at all"
Thats not the case. Just cause you guys feel like someone may be MORE lyrical, that still doesn't mean Kendrick isn't lyrical at all.
Thats like me saying "Oh, CP3 has better handles and ball control than Rondo or Kyrie Irving". Does that mean they aren't great ball handlers? No
when did i mention punches as being the scale for good lines? i only said punches and multis are what garner the most attention in cyphers. I was more alluding to the thought that Ken doesn't really have lines that need to be reheard, or that are open interpretation, that are really deep, or might go over heads. Whereas he has dope songs...even though he doesnt get much radio play, he makes good music, whereas somebody that may have more complex or creative lines, but has less personality, doesnt get as much props. i think born sinner was better than gkmc, but thats just more my flavor.
that funk flex free was fire.
For as soft as everyone says he is dude is one of the only mainstream rappers who still rocks baggy/loose clothes

to me -- this is the epitome of rapping and lyrical ability . not only is he coming with the stuff i mentioned earlier (consonance , assonance , alliteration , multiples , etc.) but the way he goes about detailing the conversation between his Uncle and father about how he should be brought up , drugs , and the struggles of the hood is CRAZY
saying Kendrick doesnt have bars is either just hating , or you have a completely different criteria for what makes rap good than i do . theres just no other explanation
i see you...and raise you.
Im open minded and more than willing to consider your opinions...provide some lines that you guys think are hard then. Show me something that I might have missed. Because I can give you madddd lines from guys that I think are better.

Kendrick is lyrical. Just listen to the guys music, almost any song honestly.. I honestly don't know how anyone can listen to dude and not recognize how the dude drops mad lines. Everything doesn't have to be a SMACK cypher/battle verse.
Everything doesn't have to be deciphered in order to be considered a great lyrical verse or bar.
And Cole got mad bars, not knocking young light skinned.
Lupe in his prime is definitely smashing dudes, as well as a gang of other cats. But that doesn't mean Kendrick ain't a lyrical beast.

Since when did wearing baggy clothes make you tough or wearing fitted clothing make you soft there is NO correlation. At All

TDE, slaughterhouse, & A$AP mob put together really good cyphers though
I thought it was listening to Gucci Mane and Chief Keef?
