You guys need to listen to more music

I was just about to argue this too. Biggie had about a 4 year span of commercial and critical success with two albums.

Kendrick also has had a 4 year span of commercial and critical success with at least two albums. Of course we've had a lot more time to sit with Biggie's music, but some people were calling him one of the best ever even when he was still alive.

Why are some people so frightened to give more recent rappers the praise that they're due? We don't necessarily need a decade to confirm that he's near the top. Of course, it is all subjective but the "he needs more time" or "it's too soon" arguments just don't seem valid.

Lock thread please. This is why Kendrick gets hated on.

Kendrick has the potential to be the actual GOAT,dude has that major label budget with the musical sensibilities of an indie artist, creative control and artistic integrity is paramount to the evolution of an musician. Most of the supposed GOATS had none of those, dudes came out the hardest on their debut then commerialized and watered down their music shortly after to double those dollars, which is why a dude like Jay Z can release juvenile weedplates like Magna Carta 20 years into his career with his debut ironically being his most mature work. Then you got Wayne aimless looking like clown releasing desperation projects with 2chainz despite being full of potential early in his career, wasted talent

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.

yes but ppl are usually afraid to consider new artists as goats

with that being said

 

Mar 4, 2016

not top 5 but with that catalog hes coming for the top 10 spot

 

Mar 4, 2016

this is one of the dumbest f---ing things i've ever read on the internet.

top 10 for me

 

Mar 7, 2016

Did you just post a tweet from someone who would be in the NBA D league if the sixers weren't a joke, as proof of Kendrick being goat?



Lololololol

Like herbie hancock said, tpab also had a more important impact than just universal acclaim, being used in protests & its influence on goat artists (prince, david, probably herbie too, chuck d, etc)

Like he said, it's also saving jazz music and its bringing a revolutionary movement

 

Mar 6, 2016

because tpab isn't just above 9/10, it meets the criteria to be classic and is recognized as one by the hip hop community, whether you like it or not

just gonna steal that post from beski






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.
- etc
-etc




#Legendary

Kendrick Wamar the president of the new school...So many W's he can start donating em to less fortunate rappers [IMG]



"Tell me who the b---- n----- hating on me
Jumping on my d-ck but this d-ck ain't free
To p---- A Butterfly another classic CD"

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

 

Mar 5, 2016

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.

 

Mar 5, 2016

Lmao I'll quote @stainzz every time someone tells me pac > biggie

 

Mar 5, 2016

10 years or so after his death

edit: (December 2007). "Retrospective: XXL Albums"

If pac was still alive, he would be snoop status

 

Mar 5, 2016

cuz discography is not the only thing that matter for f--- sake

biggie's flow blows every other rapper skill of kendrick

biggie was a better rapper than kendrick ever was till now
