Where does Kendrick rank all time? Whats his ceiling? Is he as good as Biggie?

[manofmorehouse]

Bruh, I hope u not serious with this. I like Kendrick music alot, but we're crowning him already?? People always say BIG can't be a goat because he only had 2 albums, but have u ever heard a better crafted story than "I got a story to tell" or "Niggas Bleed"?? Kendrick is definitely great among his current peers and may even become a GOAT one day, but right now it's premature. To illustrate my point, where is 50 Cent or DMX in a consensus top 10??

Of those three if anyone is getting taken off it's not Big, it's Hov

You have to give him some time.

time will tell kendricks legacy. as far as new cats while his catalog may be weaker id rather listen to cole than kendrick.

 

[StoneColdMikey]

Lol at give it more Time. Yall didn't give time to your old ass rappers. Dude already has 3 albums. That has not just critics approval but fans as well and it sells. Many people think all his albums are great to classic. But in my opinion he already top 10

what in the hell does that have to do with this thread at all...

a lot of ppl think he's got three classics in a row if you include section 80...i'm not saying i totally agree but theres not many rappers ever that have 3 classics in a row

i think it's to soon to say hes among the greats just yet, but that could also be part of the problem, because if he put out this quality of music back in the 90s then he'd be in the conversation with all the greats, a few more solid projects though and he could be right up there

A classic album doesn't just equal a classic album.

In other words, even If Kendrick has 2 classic albums, neither one of his albums compares to bigs 2 classics.

He is in elite convo when you start talking consecutive bodies of work.

i agree, i don't think section 80 is classic, but three albums in a row of that caliber doesn't happen very often

but overall the hip hop community seems to dismiss newer rappers and it may take more to get the majority of ppl to recognize

I dont like your classic logic at all if you said biggie was a better MC i could understand. But id put GKMC up against any album and it will hold its own.

Kendrick ain't gettin no accolades til he brings his dad those muthafuckin dominoes!

Lupe has two classics also. Remove Kendrick with Lupe.

At least two, if you don't count The Cool.

2/5 is a lot different than 2/2

but i also don't think lupe has any classics, f&l and the cool were solid but wouldn't consider them classics

tpab is not a classic. gtfoh
