    Imo,

    Biggie=Kendrick>2Pac based off my personal taste and my comprehension of the music

    TPAB is similar to Carter 3 in that its not as good as its lovers say and not as bad as its haters say but it's still a debatable classic imo

    Wtf? Lol you're the hipster with bad taste not me. I think over time people have realized you don't know what you're talking about when it comes to music. And yes, I'm a bigot because I love the Kendrick album about white oppression and black empowerment. Whatever you loser. You've never been more irrelevant.

    this concept is all new to me :kanye:

    grammys are a stupid way to determine who's better than who... macklemore won a grammy over Kendrick's GKMC... does that make Macklemore a better artist/rapper than Kendrick? absolutely not.

    Honestly I don't care; just as long as he stays hot and continues to release classics then he's on the right track.

    He's 3/3 for studio albums, that's for sure.

    Well you take Drake and Kanye off that list for a start

    And he needs to release more music and make some great hiphop songs without the need for it to be played wthin the whole album TPAB has come and gone for most people. He still dont have songs that are as good as NY state of mind, Gave you Power, Stan, etc and more by some of the people up there with the greats

    He was a better rapper and has albums which still get played 20 years later and will continue to get played. Kendrick only has GKMC as a 'classic' S80 is great but isnt a classic and TBAP is just meh and wont last

    Tpab is the highest rated rap album of all time just because u don't like an album doesn't mean it won't last.....also Kendrick was just as gifted as biggie lyrically if not better
