Jay-Z and Kanye? Sure
you have some of the worst rap takes of all time.

Kendrick doesn't have a quarter the talent of Kanye.

I think it's closer than you would think.

With that being said, I find it kind of bizarre that Bruno Mars won album of the year over Jay-Z, Kendrick or Childish.

The vast majority of rap is repetitive, self-indulgent, unintelligible rubbish. If you're going to be in that business, you should at least do the repetitive, self-indulgent, unintelligible rubbish as best you can.

For my money (yeah, I'm old, wanna fight about it?), Dre and Tupac were about the best at that sort of thing - from a creation and (in Tupac's case, particularly) expression standpoint. Yes, they relied heavily on samples. Maybe they just picked samples I liked as hooks.

Most of this new (c)rap?
