[@charlesreiners908]

2012-2014, SchoolBoy Q, Kendrick, TDE, were king. Good Kid MAAD City gave the group mainstream national/worldwide attention, but unfortunately, as soon as they got mainstream recognition, they had already produced their best bodies of work (were already on a downward decline). Section 8, and Good Kid MAAD City were Kendrick’s best two albums (by far), and they were his first. Habits and Contradictions (2012) and Oxymoron (2014) were Schoolboy’s best albums, and they were his second and third respectively. Peak TDE, led by Kendrick and SchoolBoy, could be argued as the best rap group of all-time, IMO. IMO, this was rap/hip-hop at its absolute peak.
