Kendrick Lamar is a master of triple and quadruple-time rhythms

Question: Who is the best rapper of all time?
Position‹5 of 8›: Kendrick Lamar is the best rapper
Argument1 of 2›: Kendrick Lamar is a master of triple and quadruple-time rhythms

The rhythm of a rap determines the song's tone. It drives the music and establishes a mood. Kendrick Lamar raps with a rhythmic talent that naturally controls the flow of the song.

The argument

Kendrick Lamar is an incredibly gifted rapper in terms of rhythm, and his album, "To Pimp a Butterfly," is an excellent example of his talent. Lamar is able to rap in a way that makes it sound like he is actively, yet naturally, controlling the rhythm rather than following a beat. Kendrick Lamar broke new ground by releasing the first rap album to ever win a Pulitzer Prize. Further, his "rhythmic dynamism" was cited as one of the reasons for the award, which he won for his 2015 album, "DAMN." Kendrick Lamar produces groundbreaking content, making him the best rapper of all time.

Premises

[P1]Kendrick Lamar commands rhythm with rare skill—on "To Pimp a Butterfly" he seems to control the beat naturally rather than follow it, mastering complex triple- and quadruple-time flows. [P2] His artistry earned the first Pulitzer Prize ever awarded to a rap album, with his rhythmic dynamism cited as a reason for the honour. [C] Because his groundbreaking rhythmic command sets him apart, Kendrick Lamar is the best rapper of all time.

Counter-arguments

Kendrick Lamar is incredibly gifted when it comes to rhythm, however rap is more than just rhythm. Kendrick Lamar isn't the only rapper with rhythmic talent. Other rappers with comparable rhythmic talent, like the notorious B.I.G and Eminem, are more accomplished and have more entertaining lyrics.

Rejecting the premises

[Rejecting P1] The premise offers an impression rather than a demonstration — sounding as though he controls rather than follows the beat is a description of how the music is heard — and it names no passage where the triple- and quadruple-time flows of the title actually occur. [Rejecting P2] The Pulitzer citation is also misreported: the award went to DAMN., released in 2017, not to a 2015 album, and a prize decided by a committee records a judgement about one record rather than settling a ranking of rappers — which is what the conclusion claims.
