If GNX dropped in 2000.

[verhonggen]

The best album

I like the Thriller comparison this is getting.

 

[RAX 010]

GNX slaps because it's 2024 and when Kendrick came out repping Compton but not spitting gangsta raps is what made him unique...for him to now embrace the street shyt makes it dope because it wasn't forced he is showing us all aspects of his art and now the wheel is on his street shyt ..
So as far as a conscious artist dropping anything in 2000 wouldn't be easy unless they were established like mos def or the roots or wu tang...but it's hard to speculate something like that

 

[Left.A1]

I'm a honkey

We know trailer park

 

[nahnah]

It would be an insignificance.

Gnx is one of the most overhyped albums in recent times and I'm a Kendrick fan

 

[RegB]

it would be 2nd aoty after mmlp.. Eminem was an huge cultural phenomenon in 2000, no rapper was going to outshine him that year..

anyways jurassic 5 paved the way for kendrick,, and their best album quality control came out in 2000 to little commercial success, although the underground crowd fukked wit it heavy of course..

 

[ROFL_GUY]

Mmlp sold 7million physical cds

In 6 months in 2000

 

[prophecypro]

West coast sound was still popular (eastsidaz, balance and options, last meal, restless) so sonically it would vibe. Also given it has hyphy sounds it some places before hyphy (hey now) it would be considered innovative.
Maybe a top 10 release still

 

[A Tribe Called Quest ™]

Yeah Kendrick album would be laughed at In 2000...he is great in this era because the music is wack

He better than 95% of rappers back then

 

[Thatrogueassdiaz]

Would be laughed at. If you weren't at least in high school in 2000 your opinion doesn't count on this matter.

 

[Regular_P]

Look at all these bots in here, @VegetasHairline

 

[LiveFromLondon]

Using creative voices and inflections has been a pretty substantial part of hip-hop for the last 40 years.

Do you nikkas even pretend to like it?

From A Tribe Called Quest, to Busta Rhymes, to Nas - it’s not unusual.

When has Nas ever done this and Busta doesn't sound cartoonish on his records like kbot on his records

 

[Womb Raider]

If GNX dropped in 2000, Drake would’ve died in 2000

[JQ Legend]

3rd behind Supreme Clientele and Like Water for Chocolate

Aint no way that album even close to MMLP

In all honesty, it woulda been lucky to crack the top 10 that year

MMLP
Country Grammar
We Are The Streets
The Truth
2000 BC
SDE
Dynasty
Rule 336
Back For The First Time
Restless
And I fukked with GNX but nah

 

[Grand Conde]

It's not even a top three Kendrick album...or the best rap album last year.
