I have seen people go back and forth about this for years, curious what you all think. This always reminds me of the infinite v sslp debut debate. Which one we thinkin is the official debut album?

I consider GKMC the debut but technically the debate is S80

GKMC is his mainstream debut Sxn 80 is his actual debut

i mean it was literally section 80 lmao

tf is a mainstream debut

Always confused me too, I think it might mean being backed by a major label officially

When the mainstream public found out about him

Me and @BRAVE got the same swag

Gkmc is his major label debut but who cares tbh

What matters is the art

S80 was Kendrick's debut studio album.

Right. They’re both studio albums but Sxn 80 wasn’t released from a major label?

Wait, so nobody heard S80 until the rollout for GKMC? I don't get why the distinction is necessary tbh, GKMC shouldn't be considered his debut at all. He put S80 out into the world as his first album, that's his first album

EDIT: "I'm Lucy, I loosely heard prayers on your first album" is more applicable to GKMC

I remember Kendrick himself tweeting something about this saying he was "(insert number) album's in"

Kinda want to find it, because he either does or doesn't count s80 with his other albums

He counts GKMC as his debut

I mean was section 80 sold or was it free?

I consider S80 the debut album, and GKMC the better album

This is a great point tbh

i consider both classics only thing that matters
