Has Kendrick moved up on your all-time list, after this beef?

[Guvnor]

Pusha T. Are you elevating him too for beating Drake or nah?

Pusha T is a beast and got elevated but his Drake beef for sure. Would I say he is top 10 based on his body of work? NO!

I would say he is top 25-30 though.

 

[Guvnor]

None of the albums are bad to me. But here’s my unofficial ranking:
1. TPAB
2. DAMN
3. MMATBB.
4. GKMC

Funny cause I would have to say...

1.Damn
2.GKMC
3.MMATBS
4.TPAB

3 of them are universal classics but I personally prefer MMATBS over TPAB.

Story of Adidon was a crazy diss record and it laid the blueprint for what Kendrick did, but the cultural impact of Pusha's diss vs Kendricks isnt even comparable.

Videos are coming out of South Africa and Japan where people are chanting "They Not Like Us". Nba/NCAA teams have already incorporated this song into their marketing, it broke damn near every streaming record....this is more than just a "diss" song at this point, we're watching a cultural phenomenon take place in real time.

How many rappers can say they've created a moment like this?

That's cause it's a catchy record and Kendrick is a bigger star. But like I said before. Pusha put the chinks in son's armor. Period. No way around it. Kendrick could've ONLY dropped Not Like Us and it would've been big. That's cause it's catchy. But the DISS record Kendrick dropped was Meet The Grahams. And where that template come from? Exactly. Pusha deserve them flowers cause not only did he do it. He provided proof wit it.

breh Im not denying Push putting the chink in Drakes armor. Kendrick still had to go and create 6:16, meet the grahams, Like That, Euphoria, and Not Like Us.

How many times have we seen battle rappers have an angle on an opponent but lose anyway because they didn't execute it properly? It happens often...shyt, J.Cole, who is the better technical rapper, failed to execute properly and embarrassed himself worse than Drake. (yes im aware of Cole's reasons) This shyt aint automatic.

Ya'll trying to diminish this Kendrick run like it's easy to do just because he worked with a known angle. Which is why I asked you, out of all the names on the All Time list, how many have multiple classic albums and a monumental, culture-shifting moment like this? If it's not that big of a deal, we should be seeing this happen often. It's been 23 years since Ether/Takeover...how bout we just give the man his credit. Push got his flowers already...he didnt make a song that being sung all around the world right now. Dot did.

This is like when people see a successful business takeoff and be like "Man I thought about that idea years ago". Ok, but did you put in the work to execute it?

 

[Abstract83]

I already had Kendrick rated somewhere in my top 10.

I'm not diminishing anything. I'm just saying that no Pusha. No Meet The Grahams. Hardest diss in this battle.

Why would it elevate him.

Drake not no spitter like that

 

[BuckFilly]

Stayed the same. Drake still ahead of him

 

[PHamm]

To his fans.

Red lived in the 5 mic era… and had no 5 mic albums. That’s what we went by at that time. He has no classics

The idea of Red being an all timer when he wasn’t even at the top in his own era is laughable. He’s dope but he is in the personal favorite category

East coast posters gonna have your hear on a plate

 

[PHamm]

let's not get carried away now

he's not even above Curren$y or Jim Jones on my list

him and Drake might get in the top 30 though if I had to actually do a list

Lol! Is Freeky Zeeky in your top 30 too ?

 

[AMcV'88]

Lol! Is Freeky Zeeky in your top 30 too ?

this song is better than 80% of Kendrick's discography



edit- oh shyt now I'm down the rabbit hole

 

[Stick Up Kid]

He surpassed Ice Cube, Big Pun Scarface and Eminem tier

He's in Top 5-7 range with Tupac, Biggie, Nas, Rakim, Jay Z

 

[Curufinwe]

He was already the best current rapper of his generation and stayed the same since 2012.
