At first I was with OP but after consideration he just might be the greatest of the last generation on a creative level.
Blueprint is better than both albums bro, all three are classics but let’s not deny all that Blueprint is. And Kendrick doesn’t have a song as good Heart of The City.
Reasonable Doubt too
Kendrick's definitely the last truly revolutionary rapper if we being real. No ones been able to make anthems like "alright" which has become the theme song for protest
WHO ELSE
WHO ELSE HAS DONE IT
YOU NIGGAS POST SMILEYS CAUSE YOU DONT GOT ARGUMENTS
P**** ASS NIGGAS
"work ethic" as if he is just sitting around doing nothing lmao for all you know he's made 3 albums but hasnt put em out because they aren't up to his standard, let artists cook man you going to listen anyways when it comes out
Lmao that one song?
first try and he did it right... made more waves than Alright
Nobody acted like that tho
Trying to think because I don’t remember either
Boring album.
Subjective. It resonated with me. DNA, Yah, Element..he making music for the negro subconscious
first try and he did it right... made more waves than Alright
That industry ass song where he said “not all white people are racist”
first try and he did it right... made more waves than Alright
Are you serious?
They chant "Alright" at every protest
first try and he did it right... made more waves than Alright
Nigga EVERYONE was playing Alright during Floyd no one was playing that Lil Baby s***
WHO ELSE
WHO ELSE HAS DONE IT
YOU NIGGAS POST SMILEYS CAUSE YOU DONT GOT ARGUMENTS
P**** ASS NIGGAS
Relax I just thought it was a funny post. I don’t care about “revolutionary rappers” I don’t listen to music for protest anthems lmao
Who is else is making social/political records on a mainstream level?
Quite a few
Are you serious?
They chant "Alright" at every protest
"but they don't play it at the protest tho" the new "outside"
I guess what folks are saying is no one has dropped projects as impactful as Kenny. Not a lot of artist have made social/poltical records that charted.
That doesn't matter, though lol. I don't need every Kendrick album to be a classic, that's y'all. One day, he will drop an album that won't be seen as that and then what? Y'all think that'll end his career or ruin his legacy in any way? No.
Every Drake album isn't a classic. Every Drake song isn't great but that doesn't matter because his legacy is already established. All he can do at this point is continue to build up his catalog and solidify his legacy by continuing to give the game moments with his music that we'll all remember when he eventually isn't doing this anymore.
Kendrick gets PRAISED for not dropping any music and remaining inactive but if any of his peers did that, they'd get criticized and that's the truth lol.
I don't even know why I'm getting attacked like his own fans haven't been crying for new music for years now. They WISH he was more active so this isn't coming from just anywhere lol.
Quite a few

It's that kinda impact that makes a rapper great tho. Not a lot of rappers can make records that aren't intended to be politically charged and achieve that.
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
you reallny named DAMN and BP Soundtrack like they are masterpieces huh
