1. The most popular rap album of the decade according to Billboard if we aren't counting Views
2. Had more influence than most albums y'all claim are classics
KOD
Eve (Rapsody said that she wanted to make something more catchy the way Kendrick did with DAMN.)
FM! (The whole radio idea is what Kendrick did on DAMN. with Kid Capri and Vince also sounds like Kendrick on some songs, Vince thinks that Kendrick is the best rapper of this era so wouldn't be a reach to think that it did influence him in some way)
IDK - 24 (The whole Is He Real? album bites DAMN. concept pretty much)
Cardi B - Money
Logic - 44 More
Nicki Minaj - Barbie Dreams (2nd part of the song is diet DNA.)
Iggy Azalea - Sally Walker
Rich Brian had his latest album mostly produced by Bekon which produced half of DAMN. and the intro for his album literally bit BLOOD. (that s*** was corny af tho )
Redemption and CrasH Talk if y'all wanna count them
Baby Keem one of the most promising artists on the rise
There's probably more I'm forgetting
3. First rap album ever to win a Pultizer
4. The album that turned Kendrick into a star
5. Iconic music videos and live performances
7. Critical acclaim
8. This doesn't have much to do with the album being a classic but the DAMN. tour was amazing and I'm pretty sure that was Travis Scott's first big tour
etc
who says it is not?
Usually a certain stan base which I will refrain from naming.
Kendrick Lamar more like kendick lame-o haha
More like kendrick the little b****
its only a classic bc they shoved this s*** down everyones throat. any album with this much push would be considered a classic

It's a classic because it has everything that makes an album a classic
One of the best mainstream rap albums and if u disagree you're pretty much delusional af
damn is as much as a classic as views, recovery, the massacre, and vol. 2. So it isn't a classic at all

What a great counter argument to op's post!
