I don't know about you guys but in the realm of rap music to be considered the best ever i believe that you must have at least 3 pure classics that lyrically and sonically incredible. While kendrick does have three classics i consider s 80 an underground classic. I know i know biggie is regarded as many as the best ever only having two classics. Heres why. One he died at the peak of his career after d dropping ready to die which is undoubtedly a top 10 ever rap album. Two the death of someone who drops an album of that quality is going to have there worth inflated and we have to considered life after death which is also a classic album. Ready to die is the most influential rap album ever in terms of rap flows.

Now im certain of this, that if kendrick lamar died today (god forbid, may kendrick lamar live to over 100 years) he would be regarded as the best to ever do it because of gkmc and tpab. We all know that tpab is the greatest rap album ever. From kl ep all the way to uu is more than enough for him to claim the best ever status. So at this point realistically kendrick is top 6. That top 6 being andre 3000, pac, biggie, nas, jay z, kendrick.

If kendricks next album is as good as gkmc or tpab
or just below them. He will be the greatest to ever do it. Jay or nas wont hold a candle to kendrick becuase they both have one glaring weakness. They both have dropped more mediocre albums than classics. Jay has like 12 albums and realistically has 3 classics out of 12 albums. Nas no comment, one of the best to ever do it but has horrible beat choices. Nas also has alot of average albums. 3k has no solos, pac dropped some average s--- too, biggie died too early. If u mention eminem u deserve a slap. Kendrick has no bad projects from klep to uu. The stage is all set for him and his next album will be better than tpab.

don't forget the music genre jazz was invented in the late 19th century, but was only perfected by Kendrick Lamar in march 2015 with his album To p---- a Butterfly

People who don't know this are intellectually incapable of appreciating the greatness and have very little knowledge of jazz.

I however know a lot about jazz because I like To p---- A Butterfly.

thats just your opinion though, which is subjective.

its generally agreed upon that it is one of the most groundbreaking and inventive pieces of art in the last 20 years, that is objective.

Never got the feeling that TPAB was ground breaking. It's an established sound. I think the thing that pushes it over the classic hump for most people is the timing of the release. Matched the subject matter perfectly.

 

Oct 5, 2016

It wasn't. If anything gkmc was overhyped.

ydb with them hard facts

Not really... the subject matter was just a bonus. What really pushed it in the classic discussion was the flawless composition (and all the praise it got from musicians praising the quality of the music)

I've always preferred GKMC but I understand why people think TPAB is flawless. Just never really liked it as much as I thought I would.
