In 2012?
yes
The Recipe and Money Trees are still some of my favourites songs ever
and he hasn’t made anything that even remotely touched my soul like these songs yet
after TPAB came out he wasnt?
Jhene Aiko - Stay Ready feature was the last time I really enjoyed Kendrick
I remember there were rumours about TPAB that it would be g funk resurrection album with Dj Quik and Battlecat production
not ashamed to say I was disappointed asl
still respect him as a musician tho
I don't see him
Did he do this based on the amount of times they appeared on his show
I don't see him
Does Skip even know Spanish for him to be ranking Daddy Yankee?
Top 5 with EVERYTHING considered, not just lyricism
Impact, Quality, Subject Matter, Production Choice, Flow, Consistency, Song Writing, Personal taste for me is in no real order
Hov, Ye, Wayne, Kendrick, and Nas or Pac
Honestly if he would have kept the GKMC and TPAB vibe for all his albums, yeah he would be but I honestly don’t f*** with most of his other projects like that has great songs of course but as far as enjoyment out of an entire project, I only get that from GKMC and TPAB
The other projects bring his place down a bit for me personally.. He’s still Top 10 though
He's not in either of mine. He's in my top 20s tho.
idk. not really. I would say he's top 10 this generation just because of how ambitious his albums are conceptually, but at the same I hardly play his music. only projects of his i really listen to like that are TPAB, Section 80, and Damn. that's not good for a 'top 10' rapper. still respect him a lot as an mc tho, the insane amount of skill doesn't really match up with his output. top 20 sounds fair. he SHOULD be top 5 though. wish i liked to listen to his music as much as i like to dissect the ideas behind it. Kendrick will probably write an amazing book or movie one day.
