Honestly, artists like him are rare, not many make it out from a place like that and fewer are able to tell their story, achieve superstar success and never sacrifice their artistry in the way.

GKMC and TPAB are almost flawless masterpieces. Writing about himself with the realisation that millions across go through the same situations he did growing up, yet very few actually do make it out. Sing About Me is one of the best songs of all time.

I'm not a huge Kendrick stan but i havent listened to GKMC or tpab in a while and that's what made me write this thread. Listening to TPAB makes me wonder how the f*** was he able to put in so many layers in an album like this.

DAMN was great but i dont think it was as good as TPAB, whatever it is im sure we're all looking forward to whatever he does next

This forum can be pretty negative at times, i just wanted to say something positive. I think his success is definitely something to celebrate.

All I know is his next album will be a masterpiece

kendrick lamar is one of the greatest artists of our generation and a goat in general and we’re blessed to have someone like him and watch him rise

Having someone blow up to his level off pure skill, honesty & talent is rare during these times for sure

Need that new album expeditiously

I think about this a lot actually. From the moment Section 80 came out, it just felt like he was outta here!

Hearing him on Buried Alive was so f***ing hard too! Like bro is this KENDRICK on this Drake album!???

The greatest thing about all of this is how we all collectively realized the timelessness of his sound from the get go... Very very few artists can make works of art as dense and meaningful as he did... If I were a betting man I'd say he will be regarded in the same tier as Biggie and Tupac in the future. As a sidenote all the disrespect for Kendrick's music that I see on here is mad corny and pure contrarianism...

Glad I got to witness the come up

Bruh really one of the best ever

Op saying "a place like that" got me dead

Sme girl from high school must be so happy

still remember when swimming pools dropped. crazy to see how far he’s come

Remember how I hated that song

still hating it though

Oh man forsure.

And the rise of Tyler.

Both really came from poverty to doing amazing things.

Man I hate late 2012's odd future fans

I remember when HUMBLE got number one thinking ‘damn he really this big now’

not all of them
just take a look to oddfuturetalk if it's not 404

the greatest thats doing it rn

The goat

My first exposure to Kendrick

Can't believe it's been almost a decade
