Kendrick Has More Classics Than Jay Z - Instagram

[tehparadox]

Objectively and going by consensus:

Kendrick: TPAB, GKMC, DAMN, S80 (and GNX is definitely going that route)

Jay Z: RD, BP, (Vol 2 can be argued)

Kendrick has more albums universally agreed as classics, whereas most of Jay "classics" are mostly a fan thing, outside of RD and BP

The cheat code for having a good discography is having a low output

Look at Sade or A Tribe called Quest

The cheatcode is just to make great albums

Jay been in the game for 30 years, got 13 solo projects
Kendrick been in the game for 15 years, got 7 solo projects, with rumors of a 8th project in stock

They have the same ratio, pretty much 1 project every 2 years

Main difference is that from a critical angle, Kendrick hasn't missed yet, while Jay didn't release great albums consecutively

Depends on what you like

Wouldn’t argue too hard either way tho.

What happened to this board?

It’s like it’s hard to find actual nuanced opinions these days. You can be a fan of someone but man y’all nikkas be doing the most sometimes.

Yes I get what you're saying, but the more output you're bound to put out a miss. That's the odds.

If you tell me someone who's has a large output with a great catalog I'm all ears

Jay-Z 96-03 >>>> Kendrick

Hov’s freestyle and feature run shyts on Kendrick. Like…what are we doing?

GNX is by far his worst album and is being overrated because of how terrible rap is right now

That's saying a lot because GNX is dope. I think it's the bottom tier of his discography though

 

[newarkhiphop]

"critically acclaimed" yall something else

 

[Hum Alistair]

Kendrick's worst album is, imo, GKMC, and its better than anything Jay ever made. Kendrick's disco is way better.

And TPAB shyts on Jay... Like…what are we doing?

 

[Jaylen Tatum]

Who the hell would pay to hear them debate this?

 

[No1]

I hate this message board. GNX as a classic?

Damn? GKMC, TPAB that’s it.

This overrating of Kendrick has gotten way out of control

It’s all bots in this page.

We've reached the point where nikkas can say anything about Kendrick and it's

There isn't even any shock value anymore and I'm never surprised, this is what a total lack of objectivity does
