    he could probably be in Kanye's discussion just by being consistent for another 8-10 years

    however u have to imagine Kanye could release more good music during that time period aswell to distant himself more:jordan:

    he needs at least one "mainstream" classic (that is more mainstream and more appealing to the casual listener) and one more classic in tpab style but with different sound

    though tbh if you're talking about overall amount of quality music? Kanye will probably never be surpassed

    there's more to ye than just fantastic albums though. Kendrick took kind of a risk with TPAB, but wonder if he'll go all out like Ye with 808s or Yeezus.

    Yeah when you really put it into perspective...Kanye has been putting out consistently good, genre defining music for 10+ years. Whether I have liked every album personally or not is irrelevant, the man has never fell below standard. He has that over just about any other hip hop artist and that's where his true greatness lies.

    but on the other hand, kanye is known for taking risk with his music like no one else in hip-hop and that's what makes him goat
    doubt that kendrick can do something abstract like yeezus or 808's

    He has two classics already, so he's got a chance to beat Kanye overall if he keeps his streak going. I don't think he will ever have the influence that Kanye has though. His chances are like 10%.

    also I feel like kendrick needs to get a lil cocky and arrogant in his music and make music like he knows he the best and no one's better
    he is too nice to everyone and he aint really dominating hip-hop rn

    when kanye dropped mbdtf he knew he was better than everyone and showed it in his music
