    has to be top 5 because 2 classics, 1 good album, and a ep

    Yikes

    Meanwhile you got someone like Ghostface who has 3-4 classics, tons of features, huge parts in the greatest rap group of all time, on top of a 20+ year career who OP has probably never even gave a proper listen. Lol.

    You understand how many great rappers there are right?
    He surely has the potential to become top 5, but for real it is way too early to call him top 5 now.

    only tpab & gkmc are undisputed due to their universal acclaim

    but yeah, I'd say you can have the argument that hes top 10

    but hge needs more time for the top 5 (maybe having 4 classics instead of 2)

    I love kendrick but only tpab & gkmc are considered classics.. s80 still great though

    with that being said, you have to give him more time, some are already praising it as a top 10/15 though, but top 5 takes a lot of time
