Emily Blunt can't stop admiring Kendrick Lamar's music.

In a recent Complex interview on YouTube titled "Emily Blunt & Dwayne Johnson Debate The Best & Worst Things Ever | GOAT Talk," the two were asked who is the GOAT rapper. After reading the question, Blunt immediately replied:

"Kendrick Lamar."

She continued:

"He should get a literary prize for how he writes. I mean, it's just so beautiful and extraordinary and clever and weird. And every time I listen to one of his songs, I hear more and more things, and it gets cleverer and cleverer and cleverer."

Appreciating Kendrick, Dwayne Johnson said:

"What I love about Kendrick is that he just f*cking attacks lyrics. That's what I love. Just voracious."

"And she’s absolutely right 🐐," another user, @nihxl.87, wrote.

Fans largely agreed with Emily’s take, praising Kendrick’s lyrical genius and showing support for her choice. While Emily was clear about Kendrick, Dwayne went with American rapper Rakim.

"You know Kendrick and how he flows and his writing. Back then, back in the day, how it was going, it was like in the 80s, Rakim came along."

During the interview, Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt were also asked about the GOAT song to cry to. Johnson picked What a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong, while Blunt chose La Vie En Rose by the legendary singer.

When asked about the GOAT actor, Dwayne took James Stewart's name, while Blunt took Denzel Washington's name. She jokingly took Dwayne Johnson's name as well, calling him her top actor, leaving Dwayne laughing.

The two are also set to star together in the upcoming movie The Smashing Machine, scheduled for release in the U.S. on October 3.
