he unfortunately started slowing down like 3 months after he got a claim to the top
<300k units. not built for being the goat
wow im glad this dumbass keeps putting foot in his mouth
enjoy that 325k baby boo
he's been a legend since damn
been a goat since he killed the biggest rapper of all time
kendrick is a solid artist, but let’s not act like he’s the first to piece rhymes together
Rapping ability – His delivery is probably his weakest point. His voice and tone aren’t very captivating and sometimes sound flat, like he’s rapping from the bottom of a trash can.
Writing – What exactly do you mean by “writing”? It overlaps with concepts and storytelling
Flows – Kendrick isn’t doing anything new lol. Nas, Lupe, Wayne, Black Thought, Em, Cole, and Andre 3K arguably had better flows years ago. Let’s not rewrite history to prop him up
Concepts – Sure, he’s made conceptual albums, but so have others like Lupe. If you think his are better, that’s just your opinion
Cohesive albums – We all heard his latest stuff—it sounds like 10 different versions of NLU. I mean the consensus was this s*** was a mixtape and another one is dropping in 3 MO
Making hits – He’s had hits, no doubt. his biggest one was seven years ago however
Storytelling – If you enjoy his stories, cool. But as a 38-year-old multimillionaire still rapping about stuff he heard in Compton, it can feel played out to most
Diss tracks – Big asterisk here. He made up a fake daughter (AUTO L) weak lines like the Haley Joel Osment bar, and made wild accusations while ignoring real predators around him. Plus, he picked a fight with Drake when the whole industry was already piling on. But the real elephant in the room here is that 2x out of the big 3 have accused bro of botting while hes still pretending
Pop songs – I’ll give him this one; he’s got some pop hits.
Let’s not ignore how much the media and industry have pushed Kendrick. Without all that backing, we might not even be having this conversation. No other rapper—Jay, Ye, Travis, Drake—gets that level of excuse-making blood
your posts been big time floppin since half of drake sxn got banned for racism blud
might have to move to r/ovo soon

kendrick is a legend but i can't convince myself he's a better artist than
jay z, lil wayne, nas, kanye west, eminem, andre 3000, drake, pac, and lauryn hill. not even including personal biases like dmx, ghostface, skepta, jay electronica, 50 cent, jada, a few others
but these are all incredible artists it's splitting hairs and comes down to personal preference really
Vs who else in ur 10?
Gucci Mane did more for the culture than white critic idol Kenny

you're passionate about kendrick all of a sudden, i don't want to spoilt this moment for you, but you're easily, easily influenced
you’ll accept whatever is handed to you without much scrutiny. Kendrick dropped a subpar project, and look at your reaction—celebrating just because he sold 25k more than expected 😭
imagine the numbers tyler would have done if he had the push and affiliations kendrick has with the music industry
if Kendrick was really on some watch the party die s*** and the industry & media decided to back someone else, you’d be right there consuming whatever they promoted, no questions asked
enjoy this moment but don't act like you're doing something out here. you are the target demographic for this campaign
