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

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.

he's on track, if he carries on like he is itl be a few more albums

You disliking it doesn't make it overrated. I can't think of a better album this decade, except maybe Mbdtf. There's indeeed a few albums that I enjoy a lot more, but none of them can compare to how great tpab really is.

 

Oct 8, 2016

but they also both have the most overrated albums of the decade (yeezus, gkmc)

 

Oct 8, 2016

none cuz kanye has none

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.

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

out before besky gets in

 

Oct 8, 2016

personally i think he needs to dish out 3 more classic albums to be mentioned in the same light of our lord and savior, kanye

what you think tho?

@KendrickSXN this tag hasnt been used in a while

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.”

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...

TLOP is a masterpiece though, even if its his worst album yet thats just cause the standards have been set so high by him, still a great album

Kendricks feature quality has completely fell off the map, he from from dropping s--- like his verses on collard greens, blessed, nosetalgia etc. to s--- like goosebumps, im ya dogg, really doe, etc.

s80 and gkmc are both leagues ahead of tpab and UU also, its like he forgot what made him so good in the first place

 

Oct 8, 2016

After TPAB kednrick is now in his own league

Like The goat martin connor said, you can have the argument that tpab has all the technical qualities to be the greatest musical rap album

 

Oct 8, 2016

Stop right there before it's too late

 

Oct 8, 2016

u some other s--- for this one max

 

Oct 8, 2016

dont underestimate someone who made 8+ alts to stan his favorite rapper

 

Oct 8, 2016

kendricks career has been on the decline since gkmc, kanye has never had a drop in quality

 

Oct 8, 2016

he has like 20 alts still

 

Oct 8, 2016

He will never compare to kanye in terms of impact, but I can see him getting up there discography wise. I remember when TPAB dropped I didnt f--- with it more than GKMC, but I had to grow up.

Classic album, he didn't miss one track on this album man. it's mindblowing.
If his next album is anything like it, I'd seriously consider kendrick as a contender for top10
