    100% agreed. Eminem was unbelievable, and Kendrick and Kanye both had/have great primes.

    TES is my favorite hip-hop album, so #1 is pretty much undisputable. Kendrick had a stronger prime than Kanye because of College Dropout and Graduation's low points

    Em>Kendrick>Kanye

    Em had a lotta buzz in his prime, good or bad he had everybody talking, from the civil rights groups to the goverment.

    Prime: Em, Ye, K Dot

    Overall: Ye, K Dot, Em


    Edit: though Kendrick can potentially have a Lupe like falling off

    This may be shocking to some people but for me Kanye's prime as a lyricist was Late Registration-College Dropout. He never came close to those 2 albums again imo and I know people like to praise the f--- out of MBDTF and call it the best album ever but I've never been that high on it. Ye peaked early for me.

    In terms of individual verses, 2000-2001 Em wins it

    In terms of full projects, 2010 Kanye does (nothing from Em comes close)

    Kendrick isn't in the same discussion imo

    Eminem > Kanye > Kendrick

    Three great artists but Eminem was untouchable in his prime.

    If Kendrick had a 4th great album, he will be top 10 of all time.
