    Where did I mention Kanye rofl?

    And yeah Kanye isn't mentioned in these top 5 -10 debates ever. Probably because he is not really an "Emcee". He has crafted a lot of classic albums though.

    I mean't the argument is dumb. It's like using sales to argue someone is better than the other etc. Probably not the best comparison as it is somewhat apples with oranges. But like I said we have classics with poor critic ratings even if universally loved by most listeners.

    Lmfaoo at Kendrick's first 3 albums being comparable to arguably the goat 3-run in rap (Pac is close too). Kendrick dont even have 2 classic major releases yet

    Agree to a degree. Assuming you agree GKMC is a classic, I thought TPAB is at least also recognized as one too?

    recognized by who? Generally only teens that read critics reviews to get their opinion think people heralded that album when it came out. That album came and went. Which is why d--- emerged. He needed an album to double up on his sales and get more replay value.

    Yeah just always saw online people praising it. Just assumed was like accepted by the masses. I haven't really gone back to TPAB, for me Section.80 and GKMC is his best work lol. Actually Section.80 is my most listened to album (Based on Last.Fm) lol. Kendrick is by far my favorite artist in the past 6 years but It's difficult to really say how many "Classics" he has. I f----- heavy with d--- for months but don't even want to go back to it. Only go back to GKMC and Section.80.

    Music is subjective but there are objectivities, like its pretty objectively true Eminem is a better technical rapper than Kanye but that doesn't mean the music is better

    Stop reusing the same insults people throw at you

    GKMC is a top 3 rap album of the decade, I get the TPAB praise but its not on the same level imho. It's a lot more thought which is cool but not quite there

    Nah it's not lol. GKMC and section 80 are definitely his best works. Loved Kendrick from that era

    Pac is not close, Kanye's closer than Pac is. With that being said Kendricks run is better than Em's by a good bit. Every Kendrick album is better than MMLP/SSLP

    MATW>GKMC
    AEOM>any Kendrick project
    7DT>Any kendrick project

    all 2-3 classics. Kendrick only has 1. And Kanye doesn't have a better 3 album rum than Pac. Kendrick doesn't have a better 3 album rum than Em. But u listen to earl sweatshirt so this discussion is pointless

    That comes down to personal preference though. Think we can all accept the great albums etc but after that it really comes down to personal choice and becomes subjective. Making statements like that is somewhat too radical for me lol.

    Pac’s 3 album run was the GOAT to me.
