    to be fair amazing albums like this always distance themselves from the rest.

    Most critics said at that time that it was gonna be difficult to take that AOTY crown from tpab :rejoice:

    I never really fell much into the trying to argue whos best hole. I feel like s--- is far to subjective. There's a reason dudes from certain regions of the map are inclined to like different styles of s--- more than the other, even in the same genres of music. Too many influences on what make you personally connect and feel strongly enough to be like 'Aye this dude is #1."
    Kendrick and Future both at the end of the day are on the top of the throne in their own subdivision of sound within hip hop music right now.

    Drake maybe had the bigger hit in 2015 but that's about it
    Future dropped better tapes, was everywhere

    even was the better artist on their collab

    100%. Men lie, women lie, facts don't.

    So TPAB:

    -the consensus AOTY according to the critics, its also #1 on 90% of the end year lists.
    http://www.metacritic.com/feature/critics-pick-top-10-best-albums-of-2015
    -the highest rated hip hop album of all time on Metacritic.
    -the reason kendrick has the most nominations in one night at the grammy (since Michael Jackson in 84).
    -has 2 songs being played in protests, one of them is named the new black anthem.
    -being taught at some universities.
    -had a scholarship in its name.
    -influenced some goat artists like David Bowie, Prince and Chuck D, all in the same year.
    -the highest rated album of the decade in any genre on multiple platforms like RYM that only take people's rankings into account.

    -had RollingStone Magazine calling Sway in the morning to say TPAB better be #1 on every end year list because it's the most ambitious album of the year, musically.
    -is probably one of the most respected rap album by modern jazz musicians.
    -contains Barack Obama's favorite song of the year.

    It's a lot of grey area in music. I think it's entirely plausible to say that Kendrick had the best album, Future had the best year as a whole, Drake had the biggest hit, etc. However you wanna go about saying those things that is.

    No clue...

    I'm guessing because he had bigger hits because IYRTITL was disappointing apart from a couple of songs

    While Future dropped Beast Mode and 56 Nights (best mixtape in 2015 imo). Also outshined him on WATTBA.

    Just like the Hiphopdx awards, they had the most accurate ranking tbh

    everything considered:

    Kendrick
    Drake
    Vince Staples
