thegreatdivineI don't know how the man y'all call the GOAT can make that claim when he's been ducking putting in the work for almost 5 years now.
In the time Kendrick has been away, Eminem has dropped 3 albums, 4 if you include the 16-track deluxe version of MTBMB:
Revival (2017)
Kamikaze (2018)
Music to be Murdered By (2020)
Music to be Murdered By (Deluxe) 2020
And another album is allegedly dropping next year.In the same time, Nas has dropped:
Nasir (2018)
The Lost Tapes 2 (2019)
King's Disease (2020)
King's Disease 2 (2021)
Magic (2021) Out TonightHow are you calling this man the greatest of a generation when he's not actively competing in what are the prime years of his career and his peers are putting in the work and even legends who are 12-15 years older than him are outdoing him in work ethic?
Are we now rewarding laziness in rap/hip-hop?
I remember you was conflicted

Dec 23, 2021·1 replythegreatdivineI agree with the critical acclaim take and how no one was ever gonna give it a bad or even mixed review, especially considering when it dropped but it's also one of the greatest rap albums of all time so lol.
So you think his process gave us one of the greatest rap albums of all time and yet you here complaining he's taking too long to drop another one
Stfu and enjoy greatness

kenneth branaghthe uncomfortable truth is Kendrick releasing an album deeply centered around race relations during a time of peak racial tension for the first time in social media era, with a backdrop of black music from funk to jazz to contemporary hip hop, is literally bulletproof to music criticism from "white" publications (Rolling stone/p4k/etc etc), you couldnt give it a bad review upon release,
it's exactly what the journalists said in their retrospective one year later

Think imma put this somewhere in the top 10 worst posts ive seen on both sites

Joe Jigga BidenI counted it since I counted stuff like collision course for jay
But that wasn't a soundtrack album and it had Jay on every song lol.

Anyone saying "critic bait" is a racist im deadass serious
It’s reverse psychology because they want to be entitled to great black art that surpasses them in a genre they look at as inferior

Worldpremiere_Lets be honest man. We all know kendrick is gonna come with an amazing ass album. He literally changed into a completely different person since damn dropped. I think thats why he did that show encapsulating his entire career. Esp since he was clearly going thru some of his worst life experiences during the making of DAMN.
he out here riding beach cruisers, meditating and doing psychedelics now bro. he aint that same kendrick. He got a lil daughter now. What im saying is, he took the time out to live life and grow after dropping like 7 classics. Thats what GOATS do
Fair enough.
Dec 23, 2021The amount of mental gymnastics and personal criteria's that y'all create, then try to push as the general consensus, all in order to justify your hate for a particular artist on this site is beyond ridiculous.
Dec 23, 2021According to @kenneth_branagh and the handful of Black journalists stuck writing for white publications for a check they are referencing, Black artists are no longer allowed to make Black music that celebrates Blackness or references racism in America without it being "critic bait" because white critics are supposedly "not allowed" to say anything negative about it.

i can already tell it's a "drake is the undisputed goat" thread in disguise lmk if im right
She really don’t know s*** about music other than Drake’s discography and doesn’t even ride for his best work. I truly don’t get it but it’s okay.
Dec 23, 2021GKMC and DAMN are just as acclaimed as TPAB.

He dropped Section.80, GKMC and TPAB in a 5-year span. He doesn't need 5 years to make a good album lmao.

Dec 23, 2021·3 repliesProblem with the discourse is that everyone has to be a GOAT, but if you narrow the definition of GOAT to what it should be then Kendrick's argument is weakened. Kendrick fans can lean on Eminem, Drake, J Cole etc. but if we're talking Greatest Of All Time his long break has to go against him

naahh man. It really doesnt. in a current top 5, work ethic matters. But in terms of actual GOAT ? Only ur albums matter.
i cant say d angelo is mid just cause he only dropped 3 albums

GKMC and TPAB are still two of the best rap albums of all time, no matter how much whining on ktt2 you do!!!!
