Oct 8, 2016 He's getting there...It's amazing how he really has gotten better from project to project. Seems just like authentic progression from hard work slowly manifesting over the years to make him what he is today. Cool to be a fan and watch that take place. Most artists don't stay continuously moving forward like Kendrick.
Oct 8, 2016 I agree that all his albums are undeniably better than the previous ones, but s80 remains my favorite, if that makes sense.
Oct 8, 2016 Kendrick doesnt have to make a mainstream album to be great ...he can do that by continuing to be himself. He stands out and always has, which is part of his appeal. Kanye didnt become what he is now by following the wants and desires of whats considered mainstream. He made music that he felt was important to him and people felt that. I do think Kendrick holds back on his most recent features (for whatever reason) but i remember him saying something like the inspiration needs to be there. With GKMC i think he was inspired to tell his story and let the world know who he was and what he was about. With TPAB he was inspired to share his experiences from traveling and how it relates to what he's witnessed growing up. Ive only seen nothing but growth from Kendrick especially having listened to his earlier released songs. (like 2008/09 stuff). I guess i just appreciate that more than a discography of songs that have the same type of beats/flow/ etc. Kendrick has the perfect opportunity to continue to develop and establish himself as one of the greats.
Oct 8, 2016 I never thought he would top sx80 and he did it, I never thought he would top gkmc and he did it, I have no doubt he will top tpab as well.
Oct 8, 2016 He's had some bad ones for sure but: Sanctified Smuckers Can't Stop Nobody U Mad All Your Fault Figure it Out
Oct 8, 2016 It's insane thinking about how HUGE Kendrick's feature game was 2011-2013 vs now. Compare Nosetalgia to Goosebumps. So terrible.
Oct 8, 2016 We don't even know if Tpab is gonna be kendrick peak or not (I definitely prefer gkmc, but tpab is still a much stronger album) whereas Kanye already peaked with mbdtf (I prefer LR, but it can't compare to mbdtf)
Oct 8, 2016 Never really gave a f--- about his feature game...if anything I think he's getting better at it. Sure he had really great guest verses in 2011-2013, but most of us are completely ignoring the 200 terrible features he did when he was oversaturing the market.
Oct 8, 2016 I actually have more faith in Dot than Ye. Kanye been on the decline ever since he released WTT while kendrick been getting better ever since he dropped O.D...with the exception of UU but that was just an ep with bonus songs.
Oct 8, 2016 He won't. Kanye redefined genre with at least half of his huge discography, and all of them are classic. Kendrick is just a rapper, much better than Ye, but it's not the same, I'm sorry.
Oct 8, 2016 I don't know if he can reach that level but he & danny brown already have the best catalog of the new school. You can have the argument that all of their albums are either classics or cult classics.
Oct 8, 2016 Joe Budden: "Kendrick is 2/2 classics" , "Kendrick is the only one on the way to be able to compete with Kanye's discography " "But, he believes Kanye and Kendrick are the only cats in the game to ever achieve the back-to-back classic run. And for any B.I.G. fans raising your hand to speak up for Ready to Die and Life After Death, Joey’s got that covered. “I love Big. But, I don’t know how much credit Big is to get for his two amazing albums because Puff was there. I’ve never heard a bad Puff album. I’ve never heard any album that he had anything to do with be bad.” http://uproxx.com/smokingsection/joe-budden-podcast-kendrick-lamar-kanye-west-two-greats/ Thats the ONLY clever thing Budden has ever said Edit: props to him for saying tpab is one of the best albums in music history even though he didn't enjoy it, that's a rare case when budden was able to put his bias and own entertainment aside. If only he could do that with Drake...
Oct 8, 2016 i dont want to get into technicality, but srsly..using 8 accts at THE SAME TIME would take silly amount of work and effort..and money not him
