Yeah, I was just talking about in general not that they say they are the best all the time.

We all like to sound-off on who our favourite MC's are, who's the top 5, the GOAT, etc. You don't really see that with prog rock or jazz fans, etc.
It's an environment in which every rapper believes he is top 5 material and every rapper has the belief that they are the alpha male.

Kendrick's lines aren't any more far fetched than when Nas and Jay-Z decided to battle one another over who held the unofficial 'King of New York' title for example. It's just we haven't had a rapper (maybe with the exception of Kanye) who's come out in some time and said look, I'm the best, prove me wrong.
I think that's only going to enhance the scene as a whole, which has been really good in the last few years. It's the old cliché about tougher competition increasing every individuals efforts as they all vie for attention, for the limelight, for the right to be a Top 5 MC.
Kendrick is undoubtedly the hottest act in the hip-hop scene at the moment and if anyone had the right to say they were the best at the current time, it's him. I hope for diss tracks to ensue out the back of this, I know this isn't a diss per se, but you know what rappers are like they'll take personal shots at one another over less than this and for us sitting in the sidelines watching, that can only be a good thing.
Right and to add

Jay Z was the one that started that beef with Nas.

Nas didnt start that.

Nas just responded lol


You cant call some rapper out and expect for them not to respond which is why all these rapper responses to what Kendrick said isnt shocking. I just dont get how some rappers start beefs and then get mad when someone responds. Why get mad when you started it? lol

Kendrick really knows how to use his hype, that's pretty much all that's happening here. The King of NY line does give me a chuckle, though, and it's relevant, as that's about all anyone cares about.

Yeah, when he said that I was like oh brother. You know how many NY rappers are going to come out of the woodwork to talk **** about that?


Also for realtalk thinking he doesn't have to resort to this. He has taken shots are other rappers before.

You probably didn't hear his freestyle he did 3 years ago.

Plus, hasn't it been everyone's anxiety that NY won't have some new kid to call king? I mean, it's been a kind of race to find the new messiah anyway (i.e. Kendrick) but NY in particular is always needing someone fresh to bear the crown, i guess because it's rap's birthplace and the home to many of the great lyricists.

Except for the whole part about him not being from NY. Lol.

People are mad about that.

Of course, it's super baiting, but my main point is that everyone wants that title, even people who can't have it. People link themselves to the east coast when they want to be seen as a true hip hop legend, so his appropriating himself so, no matter how inappropriate it may be technically, is pretty understandable.

I agree. I don't remember if it was mentioned here, but it did honestly seem like people took that part too offensively for the most part.

It was a verse, he was saying he's already king of L.A. so now he's moving on to bigger and better things.
