Kendrick Has More Classics Than Jay Z - Instagram

[tkmc]

So you not even familiar enough with the other side to form a credible opinion. Of course you can't compare them

I tried to listen to Kendrick’s albums but I just can’t get into it. He has a couple songs I like though. I prefer other rappers on his beats.

Maybe if you a cac

The consensus was 4 in 2018, he released more projects after that.

Damn is the 2nd highest rated rap album ever, the 2nd biggest rap album of the 21st century in terms of pure charts performance, has the best selling rap song of all time, is the only pulitzer winning rap album ever, and was bigger in the streets than any west coast album before it.


That album is probably kendrick biggest classic.

Artsty fartsy critical acclaim dont count

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?

Are we really doing this

I legit have to login on thecoli to learn that Jay even got a classic album


Fans discussions always funny

More proof that nobody should be listening to these nikkas. So fukking out of touch and up so far hoity toity tastemaker cacs asses that they JUST now found out Jay has a classic album lol

Saying TPAB is trash is insane

Trash? Absolutely not

A jammin rap album, let alone the greatest album of any genre? Neither.

It's not a better RAP ALBUM than Reasonable Doubt, at all.

 

[JarrodG]

Kinda agreed. A lot of Jay-Z stuff aged horribly

You can't compare Kendrick to Jay. Kendrick is more like an Eminem type figure in the game. Skilled, pops up when he wants, some highly rated albums, dedicated fanbase. But at the end of the day he exists on his own planet. He's not in contention with Nas, Pac, Big or Jay nor is he fukking with their albums. All that Man In The Garden, Metacritic noise is forced.

No rapper has a better album than tpab. Simple as that. And you can argue theres no album better regardless of the musical genre.

thats a fact but some people are out of touch or stuck in the past. Theres only 1 other hip hop album with no objective flaw that can compare to tpab and thats mbdtf.

This overrating of Kendrick has gotten way out of control

I wanna say this, but Im not in to Kendricks music to even give an opinion. I will say its evident Kendrick has made his mark. Eye test can tell you that much. He is in stadiums for a reason.

They bots but tbh Jay classics ain't like other classics

Saying illmatic or the diary aint a classic would be crazy. But blueprint or reasonable doubt? It's just Jay z breh calm down

GKMC
TPAB
DAMN

That's three without controversy. If there's too much debate on whether something is a classic, it's not a classic IMO. So while I love S80, I can't really say it's classic because I'm not sure what the argument would be (influence, impact etc).

GNX just came out, I can't put it in that convo. It's a dope album with a lot of impact but just from a rap classic perspective...that title track is bad lol. I can't call it a classic. Yes there have been classic albums with bad posse cuts before, I just downgrade this one because it feels like he could have crafted a classic and decided not to.

Gotta agree with this.

I think Kendrick (damn, TPAB, GKMC are classics but section 80 is my fav) got him 3:2 with Hovs classics being RD and BP but even with Kendrick having 1 more classic album Jays discography is better to me cause Jay also has American gangster, black album, WTT, vol 1 in his catalogue which are a lot of borderline classics and bangers for singles. I’m still taking Jay >>> Kendrick

 

[Stick Up Kid]

Its actually not even close when u think about it.

 

[bigde09]

Jay Catalog is shaky when you really look at it.

Further more, the better RAPS, generally, for the people that actually like rap on here.
