It's too many amazing rappers with incredible bodies of work to be seeing niggas have the same top fives that always include Jay Z, Andre 3000, Kanye, Tupac, Biggie, etc.
Niggas who think people have to include one of those artists in their top five honestly ruins hip-hop discussion and it also doesn't pay respect to many of the great artists in the history of this genre.
Kendrick isn’t top 5 of his generation. Yes, he makes great albums but so does his competition, and they play FAR more games than he does. Plus the real top 5 have a great legacy in the actual hiphop community. Kendrick doesn’t have much of any sons in the game right now.
Edit: I know the ratio is coming lol
One of the dumbest f***ing post I ever read in my life
Why are we talking bout art like sports
Rappers like Kendrick have turned hip-hop into a competition with all these "top 5" bars him and every other rapper is obsessed with. Art doesn't have to be a competition but the artists take it as a challenge and that's what makes fans pick a side instead of just enjoying them all
He has to do more than 1 album for me IMO
EYE think drake and Cole are top tier rappers who in addition to their albums, are on compilations, mixtapes, ep’s, they are doing their s***
That has to matter. If your competition is out here like that, it has to matter
I agree it does matter but only for our current music scene. If we talking one of the greatest of ALL TIME. should be undeniable. There are more than 1 GOATS and more than one way to get there imo

Sad. But true
He’s not. The only people who think that are Kendrick Stan’s and people who think not having Drake #1 is a personality trait.

for the record I only have 2 of the five you named as my top 5 lol
Hell Nasty NaS who’s a goat is dropping albums left and right
And Kendrick can’t do a tape, a feature, nothing and that’s okay?
I mean it is “okay” I suppose but it has to be an indictment on his standing in culture at least a little bit.
It’s like hypothetically if Jokic and Giannis are playing all 82 at an MVP level and people still saying LBJ is better despite him playing like 40, 50 games or something.
Ktt is like tv with the same shows but each is just a little different than the last
This man def just googled top 5 rappers
look at his most listened to rappers, he did that to troll
He has to do more than 1 album for me IMO

Man Cole and Drake are out here dropping underwhelming albums left and right
He’s not. The only people who think that are Kendrick Stan’s and people who think not having Drake #1 is a personality trait.
Yall are so hurt
Kendrick still has one more album to go before he can even pass up future on the GOAT rankings

whats ur top 5 of his gen? not a k dot stan but I can't see how he isn't in the top 5
Man Cole and Drake are out here dropping underwhelming albums left and right
They dropped some great projects this year don't miss out on them just because of Kendrick
It's hard to say Kendrick is top 5 or top 10 all time bc hes hasn't dropped in 5 years, but he's definitely a goat of this generation. Him and Drake for two different reasons.
Also, you can most definitely have Andre in your top 5 without Big Boi. That whole no solo album is such a weak argument.
Yall are so hurt
How? Kendrick is my #8 oat doa. It’s just dumb to even think he’s the GOAT of his generation. There’s just no way.
