See What Other Rappers Think Of Kendrick Lamar.


                            Kendrick Lamar

                                     Lil Wayne

“Ain’t nobody touch that dude,” Lil Wayne said, referring to Kendrick Lamar in 2014...

                                    Eminem

“There’s a certain hunger that you can sense about Kendrick. He raps to be the best rapper in the world. He competitive-raps. That’s one of the things that’s going to drive his career. He’s going to be around for a long time,” Eminem said in a 2014 interview.
“I love [Lil] Wayne, Drake, Big Sean, Schoolboy Q. I love Kendrick [Lamar]. I just try to pay attention to what’s out. Wayne puts out a new song, and my ears perk up. There are certain artists that make me do that just because of the caliber that they rhyme at—it’s like candy to me. Kendrick, the way he puts albums together — front to back, they’re like pieces of art,” Eminem stated in 2015.
“When I first heard Kendrick’s debut on Aftermath, I couldn’t believe it. The fact that it was his first real album and he was able to make it into a story which intertwines with the skits like that was genius. That hasn’t really been done that many times, let alone on someone’s first time up. The level of wordplay, the deliveries, the beats—it’s just a masterpiece.” – Eminem shared in 2016.

Wale

“As far as executing, writing rhymes and telling a story, [Kendrick is] one of the top five rappers of all-time,” Wale said in a 2017 interview.
                           Kanye West

“Kendrick is an inspiration. Thank you for the vibrations and the spirit. Your meaning, message and execution are gifts to the world,” Kanye West said in a tweet from 2015.
“With Kendrick, that’s God MC. Can’t no record go out without him approaching the mix, the sound of his voice, everything like that,” Kanye West shared in a 2016 interview.
                                      Nas

“No disrespect to nobody else in rap music, but Kendrick Lamar, I’m really happy about his record. I needed that. His record reaches you. It gives you hope.” – Nas shared in a 2013 interview.
“J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar, Drake, Lil Wayne and Rick Ross.” – Nas named his top new school rappers in 2016.
                               Travis Scott
