Thread really became trash when I went to sleep. Niggas mentioning kanye west. Said kanye made rap more emotional 😂😂😂😂
Kendrick has already surpassed almost everyone in the game with his accomplishments.
Dude went multi platinum with substantial music, won awards and sold out tours. Legendary rappers and musicians in other genres admire him. There's a recent wave of kids who try to do what he does and don't even come close.
He'll go down as one of the greatest of the 2010's (all genres included not just hip hop) and one of the greatest hip hop artists ever. Like your personal opinion doesn't even matter at this point.
preach
did someone jus say kendrick stans r obsessed wit drake we dont think about that nigga, we dont need to we got the classics
Only 1 classic imo
This list is half “who”
His influence ain’t in the mainstream, it’s coming tho.
Post to username ratio is insane.
But everyone on this list is literally mid to top tier in terms of popularity in the genre. These aren't randoms. Especially when you categorize it based on their actual sub genres
hes the most influential artist of this era when it comes to influencing goat artists
prince
david bowie
herbie hancock
chuck D
list goes on
Kendrick isn’t influencing anything because he represents the unspoken majority of African Americans in the US
He represents the Compton California, flint Michigan, Baltimore Maryland not the Atlanta Georgia or Miami Florida
He doesn’t need to influence anything because he is who he represents
When are we gonna stop with the fake news?

none of them influenced bowie, prince and herbie hancock like kendrick did. Improve your knowledge before talking, and I'm saying this as a music lecturer.

How do you know they didnt? In fact, this is a bold face lie. Especially for Nas
Kendrick is definitely influential and you can hear this pretty clearly in certain artist music.
