Your opinion does not equal consensus
There is no consensus on something that is subjective like music
They died. Crakkas are obsessed with death and nikkas are obsessed with what crakkkas promote to them. The same with Dilla. He's an all time great producer, but the man simply couldn't get placements the last year of his life and no one was buying his records. As soon as he dies, white folks act like they'd been fans of the man since he was learning to use the MPC 60 starting all of this "goat" talk. And it's disrespectful to those that were putting in work producing classics BEFORE him and AFTER his death. Biggie had 2 albums and 3 years active in hip hop(after his first release) and this mf got in the rock n roll HOF before Rakim, LL(he's in now), Nas, Wutang, De la Soul, and many others with at least 20 years in the industryI'm still struggling to see why and how Tupac and Biggie are top 5 still.
Kendrick, per actual hip-hop lovers, has 3 back-to-back-to-back masterpieces, the GOAT diss, and doesn’t really have a flaw in his game besides features.
Where the hell is Ice Cube in this (one of the pioneers in gangsta rap, which has roots all throughout the music landscape, best artist on a legendary group, 3 classics in a row, countless hits, longevity, etc.)?
