    yeah, most critics gave all eyez on me a score between 6 & 8 and hip hop fans were considering him as the 3rd best west coast artist. Women were on his d-ck though

    Biggie was the only one running his coast

    Nah. I mean l love Kendrick, but time will tell. If he can break the 4th album curse and drop a project as good as GKMC & TPAB, he will be in the top 10.

    Kendrick will end up in the top 10.. But how are we ignoring how much better s80 and GKMC were than anything since. Dude peaked in 2012 imo, and wtf is with all this senseless classic talk? He has one classic, GKMC. Nothing else is a classic.. S80 is great though. He's become steadily more unlistenable too.. I just don't see how anyone listens to him (outside GKMC) and says d--- he might be the goat.

    2 classics fam, the hip hop community won't consider s80 as one

    and even though I don't see him ever topping TPAB, I think he'll end up being in the top 10

    it has nothing to do with your opinion though, an individual person can't decide if an album is classic or not... it depends on diverse criteria such as quality (universal acclaim for example), relevance, impact, etc

    GKMC & TPAB are his only classics

    can we stop acting like kendrick is as good as nas,bt,monch,eminem,gfk,doom,lupe,3k etc as a rapper? just cuz there are not many great new school rappers and he is the best of them doesnt mean he is automatically top 10

    and lmao gkmc is his only classic
