it was very successful. I agree. But what do I have to get over? hahhaa. it doesn't affect my life if he sold 10 million or not. I'm not in competition with KL or his label at all. NO RAP ALBUM has sold 1 million physical copies this year or last. Streaming is the future and streaming counts towards sales. That's all I'm saying, but it aint the same thing as physical sales. A million sold today aint the same thing as a million sold 10 years ago. So the word "platinum" being thrown around(for artists like Future) is very deceiving. You can go platinum without selling one copy of anything. Digital or Physical and that's where the industry is heading while I'm fine with it. That's the bottom line. And if you think Aftermath put up those millions without a 360 deal, you're a goddamn fool. Jay Z and Madonna, 2 of the biggest artists of all time, have 360 deals but J Cole(signed to Jay Z) and KL don't? :russ: Keep telling yourself that.KL is with TDE who is signed to Aftermath, who is under Interscope. But KL is pocketing 100% merchandise, publishing, and tour money hahahah.

What's Kemdrock's appeal? I don't get it.

What his best album front to back, I don't mean hits I mean the best body of work made with passion.

I’d go with to pimp a butterfly but you can’t go wrong with most of what he’s done at this point.

I will say this tho: if you’re not into him, don’t force it man. Not everything is for everybody.

DAMN. is a classic album but TPAB is the album made people put kendrick in the biggie, pac, andre 3k and jay z conversation. I think he's a got a good 2 or 3 more classics left in him. Kendrick is going to displace Nas to be the GOAT. He's top 2 or 3 atm.

I wouldn't go that far.

I'd say he could be top 30 def not top 3.

Being in top 30 is a good thing but you judge an artist by their impact in total and he is NOT bigger than 2Pac, 50 Cent, DMX, Joe Camel, Biggie, Cam'ron, Snoop, Eminem, Wu-Tang, Mobb Deep, Rakim etc. Those are the real actual GOATs. From what you wrote you def are not of the age to say who the top 3 is if you haven't lived through the other eras in real time not through YouTube and Google Images.

From what I have heard of Kendrick I wouldn't even put him in my top 50 but I do acknowledge his talent and he has a huge current fanbase so he is doing something right for the times but to say he's had a bigger impact than Nas whose been around since 1992 commercially til now is fugazi. If Kendrick is around in another 26+ years then you can give him the GOAT title but he's only been at this level for less than a decade with the biggest machine behind him.
