"hip hop head" is the dumbest fucking term ever.
What, you know more obscure hip-hop albums than your friends, therefore you qualify as a hip-hop head? Lmfao.
It doesn't even matter about how many classic albums these rappers have, it's about the lyrics themselves.
Kanye never went outside the box...the fucking guy is always either talking about relationships or how the white man is bringing him down. And, please, don't hit me with the "OH MY GAWD U DONT UNDERSTAND KANYE'S MUZIKKKK"
His lyrics are also pretty shitty and for some reason are mistaken as poetical which is EXTREME bullshit. But, the funny thing is, people don't look at his lyrics alone when they consider him a "poet." They look at the production, mostly. "Runaway" wouldn't have been considered a poetical song had the production not been there...the lyrics aren't special at all.
"Sent this bitch a picture of my dick"
Shakespeare is turning in his grave.
EDIT: Kendrick is pretty good, but he's still young. GKMC was pretty fucking good though and better than MMLP 2 so depending on how great Kendrick's next release is, he could be considered better than Em.
