I don't consider "GKMC" to be his debut, but I'm still rolling with it... Which is saying a lot cause "TCD" holds a special place in my heart.

But "GKMC" is arguably the greatest concept album oat. S***'s a sonic movie.

lol

Yeah gkmc is his first album on a major label, so niggas be mad when people say major label debut but it literally is

Sxn 80 was gonna be a mixtape but they decided to release it as an album so lowkey it makes sense as both. Sxn 80 def was treated like a tape and compared to other mixtapes in real time

Sxn 80 is a dope album too but Gkmc was the real start of Kendricks run for 90% of people

Sxn 80 is kendricks first album in the way that b****** is tylers first album to me

Like iykyk but you cant get mad at someone for not knowing lol

Only swimming pools aged bad

The recipe is really the goat album cut

. It’s a great point about how like that time mixtapes were in a gray area that was disappearing cause niggas went from remixing s*** to full Albums. A kid named cudi, SFG, LLA all coulda been albums type s*** nigga just realized his worth so it’s technically the first. A damned good one at that

Bro that was the best era of mixtapes ever too

Because niggas would give you an original song thats the future of the sound but then rap on their favorite mainstream beat the next song

So Far Gone is actually a really good example of that, it was genuinely a mixtape in the sense that the beats he was picking felt like u was going through his playlist

Like yea we gone rap on dj screw, 808s & heartbreak, hov, santigold etc like bro put his ipod on shuffle and rapped and then was like oh yea take best i ever had and successful too

lock this thread

Literally one of my fav singers ever after seeing this post I been listening again brah omfg

No matter which you count I listen to both GKMC and Section.80 more than Dropout

Either this dude is lying bout his age, or he was an actual infant long ago on ktt1

GKMC doesnt have Jesus Walks

Super close but gkmc

OD is his label debut album

You are under surveillance

Look at you deciding to be kind on the internet

Tough one.

It's equal to me.

GKMC is a better album but College Dropout has a few songs better than all of GKMC

GKMC

The College Dropout and it’s not close

People be so mad for no reason lmfao

S80 was his first album.. but an indie release.

GKMC Major Label debut, and basically when he put himself on the map mainstream
wise

Was just playing it today. Still sounds good, even better if you wit people who were outside then
