My point isn't about the music he's already dropped. That music is solidified already. Those albums are great. I'm not talking about that.
I'm talking about dude being missing for DAMN. near 5 years and still coming out talking about being the GOAT when he's done nothing to prove that he is through his actual music and work ethic.
I'm asking if being lazy and going missing is something we now champion in hip-hop since Kendrick fans seem to wanna do that when if any of his peers did the same while he remained active, they'd use that to criticize any GOAT claims they made.
Damn is better than every Drake album released since Damn came out
aka Scorpion/Dark Lane/CLB
Damn also better than every J cole album released since Damn came out. Who else competing for his goat status?
Op wrote paragraphs to try to defend their argument and listed the new eminem and nas albums as examples
also you a drake stan and I'd rather drake take 2-3 years off and drop something amazing instead of dropping mid every year to stay on top
Drake has dropped amazing music throughout his career and most importantly, he's remained consistent. Some projects have been better than others, I admit, but he keeps putting the work in. That's my point.
Where does D’Angelo rank in r&b for you
I'm talking about rap, not R&B and I rate other R&B singers above D'Angelo even though he does have an incredible catalog.
@op doesn't even like Nas and Eminem
Yall just hate Kendrick 😆
Kendrick just has really good marketing machine behind him.
The same marketing team that brought you success stories like Reason
This s*** reminds me of ESPN chatter
gone have to beg to get it deleted like dr_
You just mad Kendrick has been lazy as s*** over the last 5 years. Not my fault.
Youre an idiot
Horrible argument
None of those Nas or Eminem albums are touching any Kendrick album
They don't have to. They're legends in their own right already and no one would dispute that. My point is that they've remained more active than the rapper who makes GOAT claims and has remained quiet in the last 5 years (which are his prime years).
This only applies to people who don’t have a discography of:
Section.80
good kid, m.A.A.d. City
To Pimp a Butterfly
untitled unmastered
DAMN.
& the Black Panther Soundtrack
Kendrick is the exception, not the rule
Foolish argument.

I think I speak for a lot of people when I say I wish Eminem hadn’t remained active
There's a reason Kendrick isn't brought up in any meaningful VERZUZ talk
GOATs can do VERZUZ
Foolish argument.
“Bringing up the fact that someone makes really good music in a discussion about music is pretty foolish”
