With all of the things you've gone on to say in this thread on why Kendrick doesn't have classics..and then you go on to say this :gucci:
So Far Gone. Classic
Take Care. Classic.

Both changed the course of modern popular rap/urban music. redefined how a core movement in music sounds.

On that same vein. Kanye's Yeezus and Pablo are on course to have done the same thing. Just like 808s.

Kendrick has the machine pushing weak singles and placing gushing reviews about his "lyrical expression"...except Kendrick gets exposed on rap forums like this.

Rap nerds are NOT Kendrick groupies. J cole gets exposed on here too.

Cole and Kendrick are favored among casuals who can NOT create their own opinions and need mass media and tastemakers to curate what they should value. You know who thinks Kendrick has classics? Your white coworkers who "hate rap but love Eminem."

Look at how dudes like big Sean or wale or others keep having to strive for the same acknowledgement despite doing way more for the culture.

Remember. Drake albums rarely do well critically. But the public response is always better over time.

Both great projects, but both with a handful of weak and average tracks, that alone means neither are definitive classics without going into everything else.

Why are all these dudes trying to insult intelligence?!

Bruh some of y'all ain't even go to college. Or grad school. How the fukk are y'all trying to talk down?!

You sound like Dwight Man or one of those Greek Negros..... The Honorable Elijah Muhammad and The Honorable Malcolm X didn't go to college.....And Malcolm X, Louis Farrakhan, Khalid Abdul Muhammad, Clarence 13, Yahweh Yahweh all came from a Man who dropped out in the third grade, The Honorable Elijah Muhammad

You was taught how to listen, repeat it back......

Every time you post this argument you get schooled on your flawed logic that views, singles and numbers equal quality. Not that Take Care didn't do extremely well in that sense.

An average track on a drake wale Sean or even Ross album shyt'S on Kendrick.

Even rick ross' black dollar mixtape buries anything Kendrick did front GKMC to TPAB

I disagree with all of this, but that's your opinion so cool...but this has nothing to do with what we were talking about, what I said had nothing to do with Kendrick.

Bruh I'm trying to make an argument that doesn't rely on sales.

Kendrick makes music people think should indicate quality.

Except you're shamed for liking drake or wale or Sean etc.

Kendrick doesn't live up the accolades. Not to mention, MOST of it is crafted support by the industry.

Chance the Rapper is gonna get Kendrick up outta here. Chance is a better artist AND rapper. Better on features. Dude is a legitimately commercially safer artist and he's infinitely more creative than just rapping fast, dense, and ultimately vapid lyrics over generic funk and jazz content.

Kendrick talks about the black male plight and you lose your shyt. And that's only cause white media approves of his packaging. He's hood but not gangster. He's black but he's not militant.

I get it.

But chance got him boxed in. And what's better is that chance is actually better than Kendrick. And we all know it. He people actually like chance too. They're not forced to listen to his shyt under the guise of "this is quality".

I'll name one. Big KRIT.

Another? Anderson's Paak.

Another? Robert Glasper himself.

Another? Even Lupe's recent underrated work.

Kendrick is NOT the king of shyt.

Dude can't even be respected as a feature artist!!!

I already checked you earlier about producers on TPAB and the artist that you claimed you knew about and named Jazz albums from 2016 and I seen you ran from that.

The Those artist latest albums you listed are nothing even in the direction, musically, artistically of TPAB....

Lupe Fiasco Album Tetsu Youth is Socially Answer to Kendrick TPAB like Sly Stone It's A Riot Goes On Answer to Marvin Gaye What's Going On

Other than that you know shyt about music you claimed, pull your panties back up you showin yourself
