Op gone

Y’all always worried about sum “influence”

Never too early for a bait thread

Most those artists he mentioned have straight up said theyre influenced by Kendrick in interviews 💀

And second half of KOD sounds like a big kendrick impression

super real

A combination of the timing of him releasing an inaccessible & heavy album by mainstream standards & thug & future asserting dominance over the sound of music stifled the direct influence he might have otherwise had on this new gen. post-gkmc up until tpab I’d say he had pretty tangible influence on people who considered themselves his peers, inspiring them to put more thought into the concepts & messages of their albums.

jid... so nobody

Lets not act like the anderson pak,logics,boogie didn't come from kendrick

smoking on @op pack

They rank rappers on who tried to sound like them or look like them 😂 not the actual skill of the rapper

You can’t imitate greatness. Kendrick influence runs deeper than that.

D smoke

New accounts are really full of dudes scared to post their clown ass takes from their main account.

Beside the list looking rough a lot of these picks are superficial

God does this place ever talk about anything new

bro if influence didnt matter rakim is out of the top 30

You dont have to hear the influence

Yg wouldn’t have made a concept album if it wasnt for gkmc but you dont hear the kendrick sound on mkl

Rappers who take themselves too seriously probably wouldnt be singing like drake wayne etc if kendrick didnt do it first

Na not saying it didn’t matter, but its not the number 1 thing like niggas was on this site think

Idk bout this one
