This is actually a good question.

If this was baseball, Kendrick would definitely have a better batting average. Nas is one of my favorite MC's of all-time. Top 5 for me. But bro has a lot of weak/average albums I don’t even listen to anymore. 30 years in, and out of his 17 albums, I only listen to three of them a lot. Illmatic, IWW and The Lost Tapes, if we count that as an album. I also f*ck with the OG I Am and The Firm album. Magic, too. Away from that, I mostly listen to his unreleased sh*t and features.

Kendrick has one album I can't even bother to listen to. But dude's catalogue is crazy. The albums and mixtapes are some of the best music we've seen since 2010. He's not a GOAT yet like Nas though. But he's been way more consistent. I can say that.

Kendrick has been more consistent than Nas major release wise. But if we consider all of Nas' features and unreleased stuff as well by sheer volume alone he wins.

Let Kendrick release 17 studio albums, 5 compilation albums, 2 lost tapes and 1 EP... and he will have misses as well.

But this Questions is ridiculous,

Nas has borderline or classic albums in
Illmatic
It Was Written
Stillmatic
The Lost Tapes
Magic
KD2 and KD3
I AM
God Son
Life is Good

Kendrick has
Section 80
Good Kid
To Pimp a Butterfly

Yeah, and will K Dot still be releasing music to get to that volume of discography. Nas is the best to me so when I say Kendrick is more consistent it's not a dig at Nas. But you got to give him his besides his debit and his last every album has been a major event on a major scale and he is doing it with quality music. Hard feat to pull off in this climate.
Nas' unreleased shyt can compete with most's official discography. So whenever you add that he's the best.

Easily Nas, although to be fair to Kenny, he doesn't have as many albums. I think his discography will only get stronger as his career continues. He's especially got the momentum to drop a classic now that he cleared Drake outta here.

But still, Nas got a better discography than Kendrick in this decade alone.
