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.
In that hypothetical lebron would still be better. Like Zion missed a ton of games but he’s still one of the best players in the league. Is some role player suddenly better than him because he plays more games?
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.
Hes better than Drake
They dropped some great projects this year don't miss out on them just because of Kendrick
Both of their albums were solid this year but also some of their best in a while and still not anything remarkable
And I’m a HUGE drake fan, I like clb more than most people
Man Cole and Drake are out here dropping underwhelming albums left and right
I don’t think their albums are underwhelming tbh
And I wish I could say that about dot’s albums but I can’t because he don’t drop
Don’t drop albums, features, mixtapes, nothing
Listen man…part of dropping is taking that risk and opening yourself up to criticism. That alone is worth something if you’re comparing them to someone who hasn’t dropped anything in half a decade in this climate
They dropped some great projects this year don't miss out on them just because of Kendrick
CLB is not great
They dropped some great projects this year don't miss out on them just because of Kendrick
Both of those albums were complete dogshit
Even KOD and Scorpion were better
They dropped some great projects this year don't miss out on them just because of Kendrick
If Kendrick dropped a clb offseason level album y'all would be on his ass. No album better than that
Hes better than Drake
At rapping sure. No way in hell am I taking Kendrick’s discog over drakes.

You are not giving the mvp to someone playing 40 games and if he’s playing 40 games a year then his value is impacted
Dot is basically not playing ball at all year in and year out
Lol Google works bro. Literally type in Andre 3k GOAT and s*** pops up.
Eminem
Drake
Lil Wayne
Jay z etc have all named Andre.
Meaning u couldn't do it lol
The only one who has explicitly stated 3k is in their top 5 with that list u just gave is drake and hov
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
Kendrick don't have sons because he's not an easy artist to mimic. You got to have the skill, artistic intellect, and passion for music with substance to even attempt to emulate Kendrick. Even if you had all that would you have the story that resonates with the fans. Kendrick stands alone.

Drake an underrated lyricist
Drake an underrated lyricist
Hes not in the lyricist convo cause of ghostwriters
how about both of them are goat of this generation
Drake for his crazy run and being the most successful rapper (in terms of popularity, sales, commercial etc)
and Kendrick for being the best technically skilled while also being very popular
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.
U certainly can but reasoning doesn’t make much sense when Andres peak performance is showcased in his work with big boi and if they’re close in skill what makes big boi exempt from the accolades Andre gets?
Hes not in the lyricist convo cause of ghostwriters
That’s crazy he’s never had a ghostwriter that ghostwriter s*** is sooooo corny niggas have no idea what a ghostwriter is
What drake did no different from what any other rapper has done lol
Kendrick don't have sons because he's not an easy artist to mimic. You got to have the skill, artistic intellect, and passion for music with substance to even attempt to emulate Kendrick. Even if you had all that would you have the story that resonates with the fans. Kendrick stands alone.
Yea i can only name like saba and lil simz as his main “sons” and theyre both great in their own rights. its like how nobody tried to emulate dark fantasy, only 1 dude can do that
I don’t think their albums are underwhelming tbh
And I wish I could say that about dot’s albums but I can’t because he don’t drop

U realize its not just a sport but an art, Id rather an artist take time to drop a great album that people genuinely love (which is not the case for CLB, maybe a lil more so for the Off Season but not to the level of FHD) Than just drop albums every year that just have some good songs on them
Meaning u couldn't do it lol
The only one who has explicitly stated 3k is in their top 5 with that list u just gave is drake and hov
Bro I'm at work lol. I'm not about to go and look up multiple articles for you to prove that Andre is considered top 5 lol.
If you want to know then look it up. If not the choice t
Drake - thesource.com/2020/05/14/drake-drops-his-top-5-doa-on-instagram-includes-lil-wayne-and-andre-3k
Do the rest yourself.
OP is kinda right
I remember back in 2017 consensus was kendrick was comparable to drake but now I’d be pressed agreeing with that statement
