    If I had it my way Kendrick is a 1 or 2 seed for the 10s and then Kanye. I think Nas had a bigger impaxt ita just that I think Kendrick has a bigger sphere of 10's influence. The only guy in the 10's bracket imo who could beat him reasonably under that criteria is Kanye.
    You could make the case for Kanye being one of the greats as a producer but his rhyme schemes are terrible.

    I agree with this on some level. His rapping is really bad these days. He has too many good songs in the pasta though. Songwriting is more important than bars.

    5. Kendrick Lamar

    Illmatic is a top 5 album(you could make the case for it being #1). Kendrick doesn't have even a top 20 album(I would venture to say I wouldn't even put him in my top 50). This shouldn't even be a discussion.

    I would put M.a.a.d and Pimp in my personal top 20 easy. And it is about body of work as well. What has nas done in the 10s

    It has shit to do with what someone has done in that decade.

    It's total body of work. Of rappers who had relevance in this decade, who is the best overall? Not who was the best in the decade.
