no.
A Written Testimony isn't Jay's to count, and a classic is too strong.
I Am gets dragged a bit too much but is not a classic. You left off It Was Written...
Lyrically Cole could've given him a hard time. But as I said to someone else, this wasn't about "king of rap" shìt.
He has like one project that is universally considered around 3/5. Everything else is at minimum a 4/5 or higher.
Now, he has some of the best diss records ever. Hard to argue against him being top 5.. He has a bulletproof resume.

#CrownKendrick. End of thread.
Problem with your theory is that there were alot of those back in the 90s. You cant just assume Kendrick wouldve been one of the ones lucky enough to be picked out among the many. Especially when bar wise,is he really up there with lyricist of that era
?Now if hes going to be presented to us as a artist who Dr Dre discovered,and is Dres new protege? Of course that increases his chances/luck of being acknowledged and standing out. It obviously helped him in 2012
I think your catching my drift here. You want to jump to the conclusion Kendrick wouldve shined through in the 90s among the goats. When he didnt even shine through organically in the 2010's
This still doesnt make you wrong neccessarily. Im not saying he couldnt have POSSIBLY shined among diamonds in the right situation in the 90s. He does have the skillset that its possible. But do you understand how many rappers we could make that same assumption for lol? When I think about goats,most of them are self made,and made a label. Kendrick you could argue is a label creation or at least started out that way. And theres no way you will ever be able to prove that Kendrick wouldve blew without a Dre/Eminem cosign. So i dont wanna hear what he wouldve done in the 90s like hes a definite. I know what DMX wouldve done in this era,I know what Pac ,Nas,Jay,Cube,Snoop wouldve did
You got Jordan whos a freak athlete before his time that couldve thrived in any era. You have Lebron whos a freak athlete,freak of nature who couldve thrived in any era. I just dont see Kendrick as one of those definite ones. That freak of nature/anomoly that would thrive in any era. He couldve thrived,or couldve easily been a back pack rapper in L.A with a modest career. Im not going to say im sure he wouldve been bigger than Rass Kass. I mean Soul On Ice was a great album is it not? And bars wise? Stop it
If you think all those are classic,you cant fault anybody for saying Kendrick got 5 really
Vol 1? I Am(Im going to assume you meant It Was Written, and Gods Son too
?
Solidified he’s top 10 and can’t nobody argue me on that. It’s not just taking the W on Drake because most people in the hip hop world wouldn’t be shocked if he won. The fact he turned one of the biggest rap stars into a damn laughing stock, shyted on his brand and did it in so many styles just to show how talented he is. I’ve never seen a battle go down like this in hip hop
He would simply be one of them. There's no problem with the theory when I'm stating that he's cut from their cloth.Problem with your theory is that there were alot of those back in the 90s.

The ability to rap isn't even a premium today...there's a very good argument these 90s greats would be relegated to writing for Aubrey and Kanye.
