So does this mean Kendrick Lamar is officially the number one rapper right now???

[SNG]

Kendrick is 37. It would’ve happened by now.

Kendrick is 37 and still dropped a number 1 record at that age in hip hop.

 

[Surreal]

Kendrick has too many classic albums for anyone to catch him

He doesn't have any genre changing Classic albums but great albums

Maybe his new one does that finally

 

[tehparadox]

Kendrick is 37 and already passed everyone as far as catalog


While other rappers been trying to have the best rap albums, Kendrick came out and dropped the best albums in music period

I can bet the same shyt, I only see you in Kendrick related threads

Bet. @FreshAIG @CHICAGO @hex @TEKBEATZ let's ban bet. Let's bet if 95% of this guy's post is Kendrick or Drake related. If I'm wrong. Ban me from this shyt. Son tried to call ME a bot. And to make this interesting. Let's extend this to @Nuuko @Revolutionary @tehparadox as well.

what? Tpab is vastly considered as one of the very, very best albums in music history, in any genre. That shyt also influenced Davie Bowie, Prince, Chuck D, herbie Hancock (and many more) last albums

Gkmc changed the standard for this generation and is now the longest charting rap album ever. It also had massive influence on modern rap albums.

I can go on and on.

Like Common said, Kendrick has 4 classics and you can argue nobody ever reached that number.

[spliz]

You probably don’t since I listen to all different genres of music not just hip hop.

nikka so what? So do I? Do I have to show u my playlists? On top of the fact I was a DJ for 20+ years. Lol.

Like Common said, kendrick is the only rapper with 4 classic albums.

It's a great album that didn't change the genre

Classics are fork in the road changes in music....like music totally shifted
Last album to do that was Future old joint

wrong...
Tpab and gkmc both had impact as in they influenced other albums.

Also impacting the genre is only 1 of the 4 criteria that make an album a classic (time, impact, influence, quality/universal acclaim). You only need to meet 1 criteria, not all 4.
If that was the case, most "classic" albums wouldn't be classic...because having an impact is one thing, but a lot of these impactful albums were objectively decent at best.

Ok cool my shyt ranges from classic rock, 80’s new wave and R&B to cash Cobain and bay swag. Dancehall, afrobeats, techno/house, and Latin music.

 

[Big Boss]

Top 3 GOAT

Kendrick, Pac and Scarface

Great albums that didn't change the genre landscape

There's levels
