Truth is: Hov has touched the culture for more than having timeless projects. Y’all can bring up critical acclaim or awards all you’d like but Hov’s status isn’t limited to that. Not many rappers have more songs or quotables to bring the culture together and stand as landmarks of the entire genre of hiphop
So as much of a GOAT as Kenny is, with his own stamp on the game - including a few things Hov didn’t do - the answer is a resounding

There's no way you're above the age of fourteen thinking Eminem is better than Kendrick

He's 35 the other one is 52
By the time dot is 52 u don't think he would be a figure in "culture"?
Nope. But we can finally start talking about Kendrick in the top 5 if he does drop a classic
That's assuming this is another unanimous classic like gkmc. If he drops another DAMN I think a lot of hip-hop might turn on him. I had a dream about that a couple days ago s*** was scary

Good post
Kendrick dropped the longest charting HipHop album of all time
Followed by the most critically acclaimed album of all time
Followed by a Pulitzer Prize winning album.
Kendrick already surpassed Jay
you’re a f***ing idiot man
Kendrick still has to prove himself outside of music to do that and that comes with him directing/support the career of younger artists which he has started to do well. Jay has done that (Cole/Rihanna/Dorothy/Snoh/Tinashe/Willow) and continues to, so Kendrick still has a way to go
As much as I hate that corny song Cole had a point: Yall act like two legends cant coexist
Why does he need to surpass HOV at all lmao. Theyre both in two seperate lanes
No lol
hov not only influenced so many underground niggas people like roc mach etc but so many mainstream rappers he had kanye west making beats for him and kanye still calls him his boss. all kendrick got is a cousin that look like he belongs in a haunted house
Kendrick albums are better than JayZ albums
Not all of them
4:44 s***s on section 80 tpab and DAMN
Kendrick albums are better than JayZ albums
when you first listened to rap seriously in 2015
That's assuming this is another unanimous classic like gkmc. If he drops another DAMN I think a lot of hip-hop might turn on him. I had a dream about that a couple days ago s*** was scary
I don't even know what I want to happen with this album
On one hand I want to be served amazing music
on the other hand the internet will genuinely be unbearable with the d***riding we will see if it's any good (or even if it's mid, he got that luxury)
Not all of them
4:44 s***s on section 80 tpab and DAMN
4:44 a classic but ion know bout it being better than TPAB
Both top 5 albums of the 2010s tho
even if kendrick drops a classic this friday jay z would still have more classics than kendrick has total albums and jay has more variety, influence, and hits. plus jay is just better at making music imo
Kendrick albums are better than JayZ albums
Do you want it?
There isn’t one verse on TPAB better than Smile, probably Kendricks whole career too.
people gonna bring up the pulitzer prize as if they cared about it before kendrick got it

I think you need to take a big step away for abit pal
Kendrick albums are better than JayZ albums
Jay Z has like sixteen joints to his name
Kendrick has like four
This comparison doesnt make sense
