Oct 15, 2016 OD was decent at best as I already stated but what about his older mixtapes? That was only his last one.
Oct 15, 2016 also, mixtape taint discography? when you really think about it...a lot of people take 'mixtapes', aka non-studio official releases, to put out demos, screw-around tracks, parodies, etc etc just trash or more content for their fans that hardly taints a discography???? @BuffaloBoy V The World
Oct 15, 2016 the part where he was quoting when rappers called themselves the greatest was ridiculous who the f--- is putting ll cool j in the greatest of all time discussion
Oct 15, 2016 It doesn't need to indicative of his sound or career to be a part of his discography no matter how irrelevant it is.
Oct 15, 2016 name a new generation rapper thats better than him though? if any rapper is gonna survive generations itl be him
Oct 15, 2016 tbh I don't include O.D. in his "official" catalog either, and thats one of my favorite mixtapes of the past 5 years. A lot of kendrick fans even go as far as to say its kendrick's best project.
Oct 15, 2016 might as well not even mention that...people still act like anyone is in Kendrick's league lol
Oct 15, 2016 We're not discussing new school rappers we're talking about all rappers ever since he would be the apparent goat.
Oct 15, 2016 I'm not going off topic. I'm generalizing and broadening my argument. Why would mixtapes tarnish discographies, when the idea behind a mixtape is something that isn't perfect or finished or calculated
Oct 15, 2016 i'd agree with this but kendrick was just a kid when he released those mixtapes it'd be a stretch to try and include them in his official discography
Oct 15, 2016 and i'm saying he's the best of our generation, that surely makes him eligible to be considered for GOAT???
Oct 15, 2016 people that bring up singles or sales in discussions like this automatically have their opinions voided
Oct 15, 2016 This. If anything not taking his 2 last mixtapes into account is actually hurting his legacy as he's only 4/4 instead of 6/6
Oct 15, 2016 and like a lot of rappers said, kendrick still has one of the best catalogs, even compared to the all time greats.
Oct 15, 2016 @ them literally noone top 10 sure noone has ever claimed LL cool J is the single best of all time
Oct 15, 2016 They are official projects. He was over 18 for most of his mixtapes, 1999 and EARL were made when they were both kids and are both counted in their discography's by everyone.
Oct 15, 2016 It depends though. GOAT status and what it takes to be considered such isn't standardized for everyone. It isn't far fetched to say success translates to greatness. Do I agree with that? No, but it would be super easy to believe that rationale.
Oct 15, 2016 who you gonna show to your children? kendrick's insightful, thought provoking music, or some random trap rapper lol
