Facts

While Kanye, Drake, future, trav etc were shaping the culture and sound of the 2010s and 2020s Kendrick was on the sidelines. When he wasn’t he was pandering to the Grammy academy and submitting music for Pulitzers. He had a different business model

Let’s be serious — Rap would be the exact same without Kendrick. Streets would still be listening to that they are now. Can’t say the same for other artists

User below me will have a negative life changing event happen to them tomorrow

At minimum 3-4 classics (time will tell on GNX even though I think so already) and 7 great albums

Several huge moments (BET cypher, control verse, black friday, like that verse, drake beef, Grammy performance, the pop out)

Huge features (NMPILA, Mona Lisa, f***in problems, new freezer, goosebumps, etc.)

What’s stopping me from saying he already has

PREACH!

How the f*** can the GOAT of a genre not be a driving factor of the overall sound and landscape of said genre?

Kendrick is performing shows as the headliner in the biggest music festivals in Asia/Africa/UK/ South America

Him and MAYBE Travis are the only rappers doing this. He’s about to tour a stadium and probably take it worldwide. Yes, he’s bigger than future

Mr Morale is a classic

Go peep the Spotify and Billboard numbers in those continents and get back to me on if he’s bigger than Future.

lol yeah just rap heads have carried GKMC and DAMN to never leave the charts

Dumb take man

Kendrick occupies the same sacred air that Andre 3000 occupies.

Two people that you’re supposed to say are absolutely incredible or people look at you sideways.

But neither of them niggas are anyone’s top artist.

ye in op tell me all i need to know

I mean...it's all subjective anyway so he has a case for it.

u on dis b**** 24/7 wat dat make u real talk

Imagine ranking Kendrick higher than f***ing Kanye.

Kanye made “Deep”’music that also f***ing FUN. It’s not impossible.

Man we should call you Pol Pot the way you hate any sort of academic argument

You are using one European entity created in the 2010s and another metric system created in Europe in the 1980s that was sold to the highest bidder and is now ran by a man who is business with the same entities that allowed Kendrick Lamar to ridicule their largest investment next to Taylor Swift

Yes, he’s bigger than Future

You’re talking a whole lotta bullshit.

Future is wiping Kendrick in a Versuz WITHOUT F***ING QUESTION.

Travis too!

I’m not talking bullshit

I’m presenting you facts. You bringing up hearsay and opinion based competitions

Do better. gnx out now. Super Bowl in 2 months

Niggas suck at their trolling

that wasn’t a srs post bro i wouldn’t even know who ltg is if he didn’t go viral on twitter a few weeks ago lol

also haven’t played sf or paid attention to that scene in over 10 years (i’m not gamer but my friends/roommates were deep into sf3 and 4 in college so i kinda had to play)

this typa s*** still get me kinda emotional tho

Friendly reminder that being anti-intellectual/anti-woke doesn’t make you any smarter than the same people you’re criticizing
