Louder, let him be. Like Tom Hardy says, that shit is bait, pure and simple.
Looking at the modern rap landscape, we’re in an era where Kendrick’s mastery of not only the craft but the culture is undeniable. I don’t think there’s ever been an era in hip-hop where one artist stood out so definitively as the greatest. Not even in 2Pac’s absolute prime... not even when Eminem was blowing white kids away with how white hip-hop could be (and also spitting some genuine fire from time to time).
I say this as a dude who has not NOT listened to Kanye West in more than five years, but still... Kendrick is the king as far as rappers go, and saying otherwise is nonsense baiting.
One only has to look at Kendrick’s rhyme schemes to appreciate his mastery of craft, and one only had to listen to how good he makes halfwit producers like Dr. Dre and Mike Will Made It sound to understand his supremacy in the ‘10s.
My guess is that Rob has still never listened to a full Kendrick album.
