    Believe me, it's not insane at all, but I respect that.

    Illmatic is timeless for sure, but let's be real... as good as it is it sounds outdated nowadays. Still in my Top 20.

    Great album.

    I wonder if Kendrick can deliver as good project as GKMC again... d--- was dope tho.

    College Dropout, Late Registration, Graduation, 808's, MBDTF and Yeezus is my fav run in Hip-Hop.

    ^ insane opinion

    i think it's illmatic, but it could be cuban linx, could be paid in full or great adventures, could be soul food or the outkast debut, bizarre ride, etc. but i think it's illmatic.

    This thread is both underrating and overrating GRODT

    Saying that tho, there’s no way it’s better than Doggystyle

    I love 50 and GRODT is a great album but it’s not even close to Doggystyle imo. Doggystyle is not only one of the most influential rap albums ever but it’s a near-perfect record that you can make an argument for being in the top 10 greatest rap albums of all time. I couldn’t put GRODT in a top 10 or even a top 25. GRODT is def an iconic, must-listen rap album but the stanning in this thread has been almost as bad as the Em sxn lol

    where do you find 50 in kendrick’s music? you can draw a direct line from kurupt, wayne, outkast, and eminem to kendrick.

    Hyphy Movement would have been so much bigger had Dre never passed. It’ll forever live in the Bay though.

    True, Doggystyle is better than GRODT because it's a better album than GRODT.

    also 50 was not an insignificant influence on how some rappers sounded in the wake of him, but the same could be said of snoop — who was putting out hits a decade before 50 and continued to do so after 50 fell off.

    Im saying the only real analogues is they're both dre produced debut's that kick-started each artists career in some way but Thematically pretty different albums.

    I wasn't sayin "GRODT has a betr title das y I like it" No I give GRODT the nod cause it bumps in the whip you idiot
