How much longer will Kendrick Lamar be relevant?

[FreshAIG]

He'll be just like that fekket Nas. Cats will say they like him because they feel obligated but will never bump his boring ass music.

I think Nas is great (Old Nas) but I agree with this about Kendrick and a lot of his fans

 

[wire28]

How much longer until cac hip hop heads, and pseudo intellectuals find a new rap savior ?

Probably about ten years longer than whoever you have in rotation right now

And that's a low estimate

 

[MINT]

He can do whatever he wants next, he dropped 2 of the best modern albums and it's my civic duty to support such a talented artist.

I have been supporting hov since 1996 because of BP & RD even though he fell off a few years later.. it's the same shyt for kdot, I'll have to support him for his 2011 & 2012 years.

I been doin the same shyt for Eminem, I have to buy all his albums because of how great mmlp and sslp are

 

[ahomeplateslugger]

he'll go plat/gold for another 5 albums at least. he's the biggest west coast artist right now making great music so that alone will help keep him relevant until he calls it quit or (god forbids) falls off.

 

[Wild self]

He can drop whenever he wants to! When his next album drops in 2014, he will solidify his status in Hip Hop.

 

[Long Live The Kane]

for a good while...he hasn't peaked yet far as popularity goes...he has a big chance of being the darling of this year's Grammy's, a best new artist or album of the year win paired with a stand out performance and he's gonna get even bigger mainstream wise...the anticipation for his next album is gonna be huge...he could end up being like outkast big (with allowances for the difference in eras)

 

[wavy]

agree... his albums will be celebrated for a long time



and I'll actually purchase this album... couldn't buy gkmc because of drake presence on it

lmao my nikka

 

[FlyRy]

Realistically speaking, probably another two decades

i love kendrick but

Why wouldn't he? He has the creativity and talent to do so.

If Drake somehow managed to stay relevant for the past 4 years, I'm pretty sure Kendrick can pull 20 more

 

[MINT]

dude ain't in his prime yet.

favorite for the grammy awards, has a chance for aoty, performing... great music will always win

because in 40 years of hip hop.. how many have stayed relevant that long? hov pretty much.. snoop was up there but he tailed off in the past 5 years.. nas stans will say nas even though he's not revelant mainstream wise .

that's about 16, 17 years that both snoop and hov(so far) maintained relevance.

 

[Bay Area]

I like the Nas comparison but California is even more loyal than NY so he will always have the Cali machine behind him on top of the national support that he will most likely keep.

 

[samtalksradio]

Considering his album is overrated and only had about 4 or 5 good songs I'd say he already is irrelevant.

 

[CDoty]

for a long time because of GKMC.

you wanna be sherane so bad

 

[MINT]

will depend on his next album, if it's a classic like good kid then he'll be relevant for a good while. and like someone said before, the west fukk with him.
