i don't care what the industry said, i'm an individual not an industryNO stop trolling
1. first week sales = 55K and still stuck at 190k as of today..
2. the culture doesn't even care about that album
3. the hip hop industry doesn't care about that album
4. it was objectively average at best.
5. the general consensus is that it is a fail.
reasons on why it is a classic
1. nobody thought kendrick would even sell those numbers. the dude sold more than cole did on his debut and cole is more commercially appealing than k dot.
2. the critical acclaim.
3. the rapping and production itself mesh perfectly well
4. cole's debut album so far has sold 700,000. kendrick's album just went platinum in july. who would of thought an album like GKMC would sell that well. No one.
pretty sure this is a classic. if you can't see the influence of this album than you are blind. this shyt changed the game.
No it isn't, an album is a classic because of the culture/hip hop industry, because of a majority.
An individual will never decide if an album is classic or not.
radioactive is a fail and trash album and It comes from someone who enjoys it.

this post embodies everything that the threadstarter is complaining about and everything that's wrong with the younger posters on this forum.
sales and fake industry props have absolutely no bearing on an album being a classic. NONE.
the rapping & production are supposed to mesh. what do you want for that? a cookie?
and not that it matters but whoever thought that Kendrick wasn't gonna outsell j.cole is an idiot. that dude Kendrick had an entire award show dedicated to him before most people even knew who he was. him going platinum is not an achievement. anything less would be an utter flop.
yall too caught up in hype, politics & bullchit. yall don't understand this rap chit. that's why yall prop up average albums and artists.
what majority?
I only see gkmc being propped up as a classic by industry outlets and the idiots that take their word as gold(forum posters). his album's buzz isn't even remotely as big as what yall be acting like on here.
every city/town Ive been in since the album dropped, his music is all over the radio but aint nobody bumpin his tapes.![]()

what majority?

lol i love how people call artists with positive music industry plants when the true plants are these negative artists condoning molly and sellin weight


People requestin that shyt.
And how you know what everybody is bumpin? You likely only associate with other elementary hip-hop fans and people who pretend they are the upper tier of internet forums by speaking some industry plant shyt.
What you've got wrong is that it isn't Kendricks album that isn't popular off of hip-hop forums.... It's this industry plant internet theory.
So you're the true herb.
"This is whats wrong with younger posters on the forum" LOL... you're definitely of the upper tier of internet forums. Above us all bruh![]()
Anywhere that posts music that people want to hear?
I guarantee these "industry outlets" have had word on many other artists that ended up flopping. The appeal is the realness of Kendrick.
This industry plant shyt is some internet forum rage over Atmosphere not selling records.
FOH
Solid 4 MICS. Liked it better than Cole, Wiz, Drake, Wale etc debuts. So I'd agree that K dot dropped the best debut of the new school. Classic? Well can the album breathe? Sure we've had some "Instant Classics" in Hip Hop but time verified it's Classic Status. GKMC is getting an industry push through magazines and blogs. Let the people make it Classic. I also agreed with the person that said, "Where's GKMC Juicy, Dead Presidents, It Ain't hard to tell, Gin and Juice etc". Every Legendary album has that song that ALL of Hip Hop f*cks with. It's been about 10 months and I feel the same. I don't think it's a Classic. Could it grow into one? Yea possibly we've seen that happen with a lot of Great rap albums from the past. What's weird is 2 of my favorite songs on the album weren't even on the main album they were bonus cuts:
