    Kendrick Career Trajectory: Let’s Discuss

    RosettaStone
    Apr 22
    Drops OD (fire, starts gaining traction getting people attention)

    Drops Section.80 (fire, now he really poppin we ready for the debut excited af)

    Drops GKMC (classic, it’s outta here, got the drake feat and everything, he’s up next if he continues, mind you section 80 and GKMC are released within 1.5 years)

    Then when world needs him most he vanishes like the avatar

    Comes back 3 years later with TPAB (generally unlistenable no matter how many intellectual words you want to use)

    Year later he follows it up with untitled unmastered (won’t even speak on this cuz it speaks for itself)

    After he realizes he’s murdered his fan base, starts doing random horrendous pop collabs and songs

    Year later comes with meh attempt at a pop crossover album DAMN where he tells people be humble and sit down

    Vanishes again afterwards for nearly 3 years

    He’s regarded as the end all for rap but I just don’t see it with this timeline. What am I missing?

    Now this is what's really off topic in here

    Damn was a classic and a top 2 album of 2017

    Lol damn was is and will not be a classic

    If damn is a classic then every album ever is a classic

    Imagine influencing the greatest to ever do it David Bowie and Rosetta Stone comes and says that your album is unlistenable

  • Jalen Brunson Fan

    You mean the album that won a f***ing Pulitzer Prize? Lmao

    Lol nah it’s actually pretty well accepted that Kendrick’s 3 major label albums are great albums even outside of Hip Hop. TPAB was cited as influencing iconic musicians like David Bowie and Prince, Damn won a Pulitzer Prize. Just look at some lists of best albums across all genres of the 2010’s and see how high his albums rank there. TPAB especially gets ranked top 5 consistently.

    Exactly!

    A YouTuber that does reviews that I watch that mainly covers rock has multiple Kendrick albums in his best of the decade video.

    Kendrick has crossed most genres. I know a ton of people who don’t like rap but love Kendrick.

    Something that I have not seen with Drake.

    Great link to great post

    Dudes saying you need lots of time to release good projects

    Section 80 and GKMC time gap was like 1 year haha

    But let’s take 3 years to release DAMN!

    “TPAB generally unlistenable”

    Damn is a “meh pop crossover attempt”

    How mad you gotta be to type all this out

    There's literally a thread about DAMN being a classic on the first page in Music and they want to argue about it in here

    Nah, Damn is a classic. Kendrick got multiple classics.

    Meanwhile Take Care is probably Drake’s only classic.

    How many sales did it amass?

    A #12 can be okay if the numbers were respectable.

    Of course not. He's always been a massive force.

    A #12 is fine but dropping 1-12 is not good
    One of the worst drops in chart history
