Eminem has 2 certified classic albums

Wayne's best album is Carter II

CARTER III was his biggest but in retrospect wasn't that great

I appreciate that Kendrick puts so much time and effort into his albums, I really do, but theres something about that urgency of needing to dominate and be number 1 that Hov and Wayne had, that just makes it more difficult in a sense. Like if hov took 3 years between each album when he was younger, every album would be reasonable doubt / Blueprint level. Same for Wayne. If Wayne wasnt dropping 75 guest verses in a year, multiple mixtapes, all at the same time, imagine how much better the Carter series would be.

would Biggie still be considered one of the GOATs if instead of 2 classic albums he had 5 decent ones with a lot of hits?

its the hustler mentality verses the aesthetic/creative mentality

both are beautiful and deserve their flowers

Also maybe a conversation for another thread but I honestly believe west coast rappers will never be in the conversation for GOAT aside from 2pac who ain’t a real west coast rapper born and bread. Idk if it’s bias or what but I’ve always felt like they had to fight for respect harder

Kendrick moves like a dangelo type artist but when you really look at it he’s one of the most popular artists. Kinda crazy

Both them verses was doo doo but it was exciting ngl. He a heat of the moment type of nigga. Like with that boring ass Control verse. It's a bunch of woofing not much wordplay like Wayne and Hov be doing

I agree 1000% both are dope. Reason why I never understood the Drake vs Kendrick debate. Two completely different artists.

Production trends haven’t been suitable for West Coast rap styles since the early 2000s, so they don’t have the same opportunities to make transcendent GOAT rap hits/albums

kanye goated cause he did both at the highest level imo

his output during that 6 album run and level of creativity will never be touched again

Wayne has the worst albums of any GOAT lol.

Forsure. To me if you drop one classic, youre in the discussion. Word to Lauryn Hill, but in terms of being number one. A dominant force. You need a run. Like 50 had a run at being number one. Wayne had a run. Hov had a run. Kanye had a run. Pac had a run. Drake has the run rn.

Kendrick one of my fave albums ever and he has one of the dopest discography’s, but it is a bit of a cheat code if you arent as active.

If a player averages 30ppg but only played 4 seasons, did he have a better career than the guy who averaged 25ppg in 11 seasons?
