Mar 5, 2016 yeah, most critics gave all eyez on me a score between 6 & 8 and hip hop fans were considering him as the 3rd best west coast artist. Women were on his d-ck though Biggie was the only one running his coast
Mar 5, 2016 Nah. I mean l love Kendrick, but time will tell. If he can break the 4th album curse and drop a project as good as GKMC & TPAB, he will be in the top 10.
Mar 5, 2016 10 years or so after his death edit: (December 2007). "Retrospective: XXL Albums" If pac was still alive, he would be snoop status
Mar 5, 2016 Kendrick will end up in the top 10.. But how are we ignoring how much better s80 and GKMC were than anything since. Dude peaked in 2012 imo, and wtf is with all this senseless classic talk? He has one classic, GKMC. Nothing else is a classic.. S80 is great though. He's become steadily more unlistenable too.. I just don't see how anyone listens to him (outside GKMC) and says d--- he might be the goat.
Mar 5, 2016 2 classics fam, the hip hop community won't consider s80 as one and even though I don't see him ever topping TPAB, I think he'll end up being in the top 10
Mar 5, 2016 it definately is in my eyes the top list is such a hard list to crack he's the best rapper of this decade hands down, just not sure about OAT
Mar 5, 2016 it has nothing to do with your opinion though, an individual person can't decide if an album is classic or not... it depends on diverse criteria such as quality (universal acclaim for example), relevance, impact, etc GKMC & TPAB are his only classics
Mar 5, 2016 lol i never said it WAS a classic i said it is in my eyes but yeah i can see people not thinking the same as me
Mar 6, 2016 can we stop acting like kendrick is as good as nas,bt,monch,eminem,gfk,doom,lupe,3k etc as a rapper? just cuz there are not many great new school rappers and he is the best of them doesnt mean he is automatically top 10 and lmao gkmc is his only classic
Mar 6, 2016 because tpab isn't just above 9/10, it meets the criteria to be classic and is recognized as one by the hip hop community, whether you like it or not just gonna steal that post from beski So TPAB: -the consensus AOTY according to the critics, its also #1 on 90% of the end year lists. http://www.metacritic.com/feature/critics-pick-top-10-best-albums-of-2015 -the highest rated hip hop album of all time on Metacritic. -the reason kendrick has the most nominations in one night at the grammy (since Michael Jackson in 84). -has 2 songs being played in protests, one of them is named the new black anthem. -being taught at some universities. -had a scholarship in its name. -influenced some goat artists like David Bowie, Prince and Chuck D, all in the same year. -the highest rated album of the decade in any genre on multiple platforms like RYM that only take people's rankings into account. -had RollingStone Magazine calling Sway in the morning to say TPAB better be #1 on every end year list because it's the most ambitious album of the year, musically. -is probably one of the most respected rap album by modern jazz musicians. -contains Barack Obama's favorite song of the year. - etc -etc #Legendary Kendrick Wamar the president of the new school...So many W's he can start donating em to less fortunate rappers [IMG] "Tell me who the b---- n----- hating on me Jumping on my d-ck but this d-ck ain't free To p---- A Butterfly another classic CD" [IMG]
Mar 6, 2016 you're not the one who can label an album classic, the culture does, and TPAB is indeed a classic.
