Kendrick - GOAT? Top 5? Top 10?

[Mindless]

There's no doubt that dude deserves to be in the argument for top ten. My argument is that it's too early to be talking about a number one spot right now. Give those albums some time to age and see how they hold up.

Life After Death turned twenty this year. That album is still amazing. The question is, I think, in five years, ten years, twenty years, is Damn going to still be an album that you can play and be like "This shit is amazing and incredibly good. Not just for it's time but now as well."

Full disclosure, I haven't heard the full album yet. What I have heard is fucking great though. I'm going to get it on Google Play and bump the shit out of it for a few weeks and see how it goes but I have no doubt that I'm going to love it just from what I've heard so far.

Goddamn. Overthink shit much? Mother Goose was Top 5 Dead or Alive until School House rock dropped.

Fuck outta here with all this subjective bullshit.

( Disclaimer. I've not listened to a huge chunk of his work. But at the same time that probably says more about his abillity to hook me in........) He's in a shit era and I mean SHIT and he still can't stand out amongst the crowd as much as the greats from much more talented eras (Mid 90's early 00's) past. He'd be an okay servicable influencial underground/Semi commercial head in those eras (on his own product alone/collabs aside) He's ok. Personally don't get the hype behind him other than 90% of the other artists around him are garbage.

If you think a comfortable K Dot is better than a Prime DMX or PAC or Nas you are delusional.

If we are counting influence wouldn't Em be the goat? He indoctrinated the majority into hip hop in a way that the beaster boys of the world before him could not.

(Strictly a devils advocate argument. My personal GOAT is Blackthought)
