outside of maybe like TPTB he's just kind of ...there. how many verses actually stick out and leave an impression? Everyone remembers "u" but despite the emotion the most memorable part is the housekeeping part
the album is carried by the production, Thundercat, Bilal, Anna Wise etc. The same can't be said for GKMC - there is no good kid without Kendrick. That's why it will go down as his peak as a 'rapper'.
Of course TPAB has an incredible legacy due to its wider context and developments in America - before TPAB I feel like many black artists never really talked about their black identity before? But purely in terms of the music it can't compare to GKMC.
I remember listening to How Much a Dollar cost back in 2015 and thinking it was so deep...
