Kendrick Lamar: #1 Hottest MC In The Game

Thursday, March 07 2013 10:41 PM EST | Posted by: Big Homie | Posted in: Blog, Focus

Sa prize!! King Kendrick Lamar takes the crown. Well deserved. Congrats.

“K-Dot earned the #1 spot in a unanimous decision, while 2 Chainz landed in the #2 slot. While both MCs made indelible marks in the last year, it was Kendrick’s artistry and commercial appeal that helped him earn the title. Lyrically, Lamar is an expert spitter who weaves complex rhyme patterns around soul-drenched beats, with as unique a style as rap has seen in years. And while verbal depth isn’t usually a marker for rap success, the Compton rapper moved major units when he dropped his debut album, good kid, m.A.A.d city”

The hottest in the game himself closes out the debate with “Poetic Justice” below.

Previously: #2 2 Chainz#3 Rick Ross l #4 Nas l #5 Drake l #6 Big Sean l #7 Kanye West l #8 A$AP Rocky l #9 Future #10 Meek Mill

  35. PARTYHARDERDENYAFATHER says:

  36. bEezze says:

    But even with all of the metrics, it’s Kendrick’s impact on the game that he’ll be most remembered for when the hip-hop community looks back on the year. Artistically, good kid was the album with which all albums were measured by in 2012. Not only did it resonate with fans, it was also a commercial success in an era where albums don’t thrive like they used to.

  37. Mattyboy says:

    Rightfully so!

  38. ANnderS0n says:
