A lot of rappers have a year that can be a contender for greatest year of all time.
This Kendrick year is up there as a contender. But it’s just one of many contenders
I think the magnitude of what Kendrick pulled off this year puts it a tier above every other year
The Blacker The Berry came on before and I didn't skip
kendrick: "You hate me, don't you?
You hate my people, your plan is to terminate my culture"

Realizing Kendrick wasn’t admitting to being a a heroin addict throws me back to realizing it wasn’t three guys in one room first time he was tossed
Wasn’t only his singles. His features went crazy too. He pretty much dropped a diamond record every quarter of the year which is insane
His features were on singles, is my point
This year definitely is up there as one the greatest years a rappers had for sure tho
The greatest year for a rapper easily. I can’t think of any that comes close
Too many consecutive notable events to solidify that position
I saw some Utopia slander on Twitter and many people said the second half is quite mid compared to the first half
Tyler was universally praised for sure
I slandered Utopia when it dropped
MUUUUUUUUUUSSSSTTTTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

This level of glaze is why it’s difficult for me to not make fun of Midrick stans at every single release
What are some other comparable years?
Wayne: Carter 3 Amilli with 1 million albums sold
Kanye: Watch the Throne into MBDTF and Cruel Summer
Drake: 2016 Back 2 Back on Meek, Views from the 6 1 million sold
Drake 2018 cannot be the greatest year a rapper has had because he lost to Pusha T
that looks like it was edited on Instagram in 5 minutes
5 mins lowkey a super long time for an instagram edit
This level of glaze is why it’s difficult for me to not make fun of Midrick stans at every single release
not unfair
Drake 2018 cannot be the greatest year a rapper has had because he lost to Pusha T
Why not pick 2016 or 2015
His features were on singles, is my point
Even then, going on a “singles” run of that magnitude is that crazy. To totally dominate a year is not something to take lightly imo
I think the magnitude of what Kendrick pulled off this year puts it a tier above every other year
DMX in 98
That being said, what Kendrick did this year was straight up legendary. It’s not talked about enough how dude fully intended to go against Cole and Drake 2 v 1 by himself
This level of glaze is why it’s difficult for me to not make fun of Midrick stans at every single release
Dropping projects like this he’s earned a little glaze tbh
You see it
They keep saying “Drake 2018” but nobody is talking about Billboard success.
Kendrick’s 2024 is the best calendar year for a rapper in the history of the genre
scorpion mighta broken records or whatever but didn't hold a candle to Die Lit or KSG that summer
The greatest year for a rapper easily. I can’t think of any that comes close
Too many consecutive notable events to solidify that position
I’m not mad at folks putting it at 1. I gotta see how we look back at it in a few years when it’s over but it’s up there with prime em, prime 50, prime wayne, and prime drake fs
