Definitely taints the legacy. Some rappers don't care about it but it's important. Especially in a genre like hip hop where you're oftentimes only as good as your last.

drake song

No cause he would have still had great raps.

Yeah I also thought of that while mentioning dre cosign

Damn bro i been in here from the start and dont even remember a single a tim3 u agreed to somethjng thats not a troll bait opinion

Atp i respect your consistency

3-4 classic albums, won one of the top 3 biggest beefs in rap history in blow out fashion, actually a good rapper/storyteller, revived the West from a deep slumber.

rare moment I agree with Mafia Boss and not UncGramps!

dude, most rappers start dropping slop by their 3rd or 4th album or have pretty inconsistent discographies, how tf are you using kanye f***ing west of all people as the example to hold against kenny? are you even listening to hip hop or music in general if that's the standard for judging greatness?

stop bringing up kanye for no reason you clown lol

Everything has mostly been mentioned but his overall energy and ability to make you feel what he says is what does it for me. No other rapper strikes me as more human than Kendrick

That stan is going to ruin your thread. Good luck tho

I think his ability to make both mainstream rap and weirdo rap at a high level makes him particularly special as a guy who loves both

Following a quintessential modern concept album with an even better album imo is the most impressive thing he’s done

Which is what makes Kendrick the GOAT

Thanks for proving my point

You gotta do what most rappers dont if you wanna surpass them, and Kendrick has more classics on the way to solidify it even more

Hopefully Kanye gets back on track so he can partake in the greatness again

Is your defense that Kanye lasted 7 albums instead of 4?

discography is enough lol gkmc tpab damn

DAMN is really impressive

Kendrick will never reach prime 04-14 Kanye. Be it classic albums, popularity, hits, influence--nothing. Few duds in his late 40s and 50s changes nothing. Thats like saying Jordan ruined his GOAT case by going to Washington

Longevity has never mattered in GOAT discussion. It's always been prime vs prime until recently--and thats only cause of Lebron lol

DAMN and GKMC aging best of his albums imo

Popularity wise maybe, im talking strictly rap/hiphop

Most people put Hov over Kanye, even tho Kanye clearly has more influence

He got past 5’4

pretty sure GKMC was his sophomore album

Ngl damn is his worst album for me

But it's so good so that's crazy for me

My bro used to tell me he was the goat tpab days

Only when he dropped MM did i finally accept it lol.

Dude is actually the goat. Hov, nas, em are below him with all due respect

The beef and gnx just solidified what i already knew

Would like to see him in a beef with someone who could actually beat him
