INDEED

[@DumbBaby]

Undeniable. In his first era and at his peak, Em was my favorite rapper for a good few years, he was freakishly interesting and creative, with ☠️skill and an obsession with his craft LEVELS above the rest. There were few rappers with those skills, charisma, storytelling, and most importantly work ethic, even outside the mainstream, let alone right in the centre of it. I dont wanna hear about 2pac, Biggie cos they were a different generation, even though almost the same ages. And JayZ was critically and commercially a star but nothing like the juggernaut Em was, Jays legacy was much more quietly achieved over time. Really only DMX came close with huge hits and talent to match at the time. And Outkast, my fave rap group, but their era weirdly seems both older and tounger cos they started before Em but biggest succes came later with Stankonia. Em gets flogged as if he fluked a couple good albums and everything else since been rubbish but Slim Shady and Marshall Mathers lp, 8 mile road album and movie, the features he did back then and the stuff he did with 50, not to mention dragging D12 to platinum status waa crazt. How BIG he did it all means hes forever a goat. It will never be taken from him. I didnt even include Eminem Show cos I find that often cringy now Im older. Kendrick had similar seismic impact but did it so differently. Section 80 was perfect, again, some of the best rapping and storytelling youll hear on a album/mixtape. GOOD kid was stunning first time you heard it. It was really a whole concept album that worked like a movie. Made chilled out songs, heartfelt tributes to fam and friends, ratchet shit like backseat freestyle that still sounds like nothing else. And he wasnt the same degree of pop juggernaut but one thing he did that Eminem couldnt was make some of his truly deep and soulful songs work as worldwide hits, without trying. Em always played the game with singles. Ive grown out of Em mostly cos even though technicallly his rapping got even more proficient his actual songwriting were almost never at that level again. And I mostly stopped listening to Kendrick in the same way after TPIB. I personally was already sick of p-funk and jazz in rap music. Unmastered similar obvs. But Damn was pretty great. Both artist so good at rapping that I think it makes them less capable of choosing truly great beats though. Early on they both used such good beats but i think are too focused on rapping to be elite best pickers. In terms of rappers who we used to call 'conscious' theres only really Kendrick at the top these days to me though.

He had 10 albums in a row debut at number one, and his first studio album (not infinite, but sslp) debuted at 2. He has the most riaa certifications in history and he doesn’t even update them.

Kendrick is historic. I mean STUDY-WORTHY in an academic sense.

They're gimmicks. They're clowns and they're goons. Kendrick is soul-searching deep. He's the kinda deep that makes you realize your life is more important than your job....that your existence is more important NOW than it has ever been, because you are the change needed for the world around you. Stop asking for change and BE THAT CHANGE.

Personal opinion, but I think it's the best hip hop album of all time.

@@Gush27 In all honesty, I don’t really go to him when it comes down to bars. I put Ab-Soul over him

@@BeefGeneral It’s a real great album, but I personally believe Only Built 4 Cuban Linx is the greatest rap album ever. Illmatic would be number 2

I've loved Em since the beginning. I don't care if I'm 85 years old, I'm NOT dying until I see him in concert! ❤

[@tigerwoods373]

Yeah I remember being in middle school listening to em recently after he released lose yourself. Back when you needed a cd player and something like lime wire to download the songs. I actually bought 8 mile and 50s album with in da club. Damn thing would skip after a bump. I would cut a hole in my hoody pocket and have the headphones go through because we weren't allowed to have any electronics. Em and 50 cent were a staple for me. It's kind of funny when I think back, I used to think I knew what he was taking about but when I listen again I think of all the stuff I didn't have a clue. I was about 12 and it's not like I could just google what the stuff was. I felt just like em sitting on the bus being the only white kid too. 😂

[@MonicaDorsey-lm5bb]

[@MowglyNair]

People who don't listen to Kendrick that deeply but are into rap/hip-hop don't seem to have basic comprehension skills. He is in a league of his own. Nobody writes like he does, nobody is as clever as he is, nobody touches issues like he does, nobody has that level of killer music and production to back his words like he does. He is art.

[@Mozart-80]

Calm down buddy, it’s just a rapper, it’s not Mark Twain. Btw Everyone to scared to talk about Eminem getting Botox injections and fillers like a Hollywood pop princess he used to make fun of back in the day. Dude looks like a plastic f*ck doll
