woke as a derogatory term is a dogwhistle for niggas w trash opinions

Best of his generation easily. Still got work to do to be undisputed as number 1 tho

Always was

I agree with others ITT that he is now undeniably the goat of his generation. Once you get into all timers I think there’s too much subjectivity to say for sure.

smells better fosho

For me yes. He has another classic or two in him.

Thinking about it its really hard for me to imagine kendrick ever falling off

Been a goat since 2015

You dont make a album like GKMC and follow it up with TPAB and follow that up with a album big as DAMN and not be a goat

He’s gotta start beef with everybody who’s in contention for GOAT

Like who?

His mind is so unique to anyone out there.

He won’t fall off.

I mean I would usually expect more grown music when he gets older like hov but idk how he can make more Grown music

Yes

Exactly. 4:44 is Jay’s version of Mr Morale.

& Mr Morale is just supremely better written.

He makes hits better than Nas

I thought his career has been on that kind of run since he started, this beef cemented it

He would have arrived there anyway imo with the strength of his discography and how he’s mastered all aspects of rapping

He was already that. He confirmed it with this battle.

I need an album that’s like Damn 2.0 before I say anything

He been the goat

Yes, objectively

Kendrick ticks all the boxes for the GOAT title. He's the only rapper to snag a Pulitzer Prize and is likely to end up with the most Grammys among rap artists.

Kanye and Jay both have 24 Grammys, while Kendrick's at 17 and will likely pick up at least 3 next year, putting him at 20.

If he drops another album, he'll be darn close, especially considering he's way younger than both and will probably release at least 2 more albums, securing the top spot for sure.

While I believe awards aren't everything, Kendrick's catalog is one of the best plus he just destroyed his main rival making him the best in his generation and arguably of all time.

Just look at what he did to Culture Vulture, 5 diss tracks and each one's different, Kendrick's range is unreal.

And don't even get me started on his character. He hasn't sold his soul and has remained true to himself, something only a few do.

Kendrick the GOAT.

He been the goat, its just now yall can't use "not battle tested" angle against him.

no
