This is based on…?

Correct if wrong but it seems like kendrick actually had more hits on GKMC but DAMN had the bigger ones

yeah so what jayson's got one of the best pens in the game

That's funny. Q never made Section 80, GKMC, TPAB, or Damn.

I like Q but to pretend that Kendrick was just for nerd kids in high school?

I guess it pays to write delusional op ed's.

Not gonna lie i was a big Q fan early on because he was entertaining and relatable in his songs. Never got that same vibe from Kendrick though i also was f***ing with him then too

Control system cilvia demo thib h&c and ctrl all better than s80 and dare I say gkmc

When he said he scrapped two albums worth of stuff because it was "too similar to BFLP"

Hits on GKMC:
B**** Don’t Kill My Vibe
Backseat Freestyle
Money Trees
Poetic Justice
M.A.A.D City (First half)
Swimming Pools

Hits on DAMN:
Humble
DNA
Loyalty
Element
Love

6-5

I think your assessment is right.

Idk about this. Literally everyone from nerds to jocks were saying ya bish non-stop when GKMC dropped in highschool. It was pretty universally played if we’re talking pre-Swimming Pools then yeah it was mostly blog rap heads listening but no one was really listening to Q like that back then either

Fear and Feel top 5 kendrick

q is defo underrated, i remember when tde had their initial buzz, he was dismissed as a 'vibe' rapper. now look at the music that is successful these days - the frequency is the driving force whilst lyrical content has taken the backseat. Truly ahead of his time

hmm GKMC has more technically & they all performed great (I’m assuming) but also the two albums aren’t drastically different in # of hits & DAMN has the bigger ones (I’m assuming)

would DAMN or GKMC be considered his hits album?

Those would be historic plays. Popular takes into account recency. His point is just wrong.

idk what this proves, GKMC was pre streaming and most of these plays are from years ago.

Humble a good song, but I'm just saying compared to the f***in party classics on GKMC it's not as good

plus it's just got overplayed in 2017/2018 idk how anyone can deny that

I feel like this is an apple and oranges kind of thing.

Also good that someone is talking about Q in the first place. Miss that man 🥺

According to Chart Data, the Compton-bred MC's 2017 LP has now spent 200 consecutive weeks on the Billboard 200 chart.

truss me in 2017 that was the song of the f***in year especially with that video. I jus think party anthem wise GKMC has way more and better aging songs, maybe the nostalgia hasn't hit for Damn yet.

like there's no way u playing Element or Love at a party now

These music media sites been wilding lately I guess the click rates been going down

What kinda zoomer ass party is gonna react negatively to money trees

Listen I know Oxymoron is a classic.

But it's GKMC

Stereogum bunch of cacs tryna fit in for this s***

Nobody drops heat anymore

Hardly anyone in rap drops something that pushes the genre forward, so they have to go back to when hip hop was interesting
