Kendrick is Obviously Talented, But If This Were The 90s That nikka Would Be Aceyalone/Del The Funky Homosapien Status

This whole thread premise is based off of YOUR OPINION.

And every response is opinionated. We can play opinion game all yall want, fat of the matter is yall in here cherry picking and grabbing low hanging fruit for arguments. Do better you mongoloid.

"Acclaim" is an opinion, dumbass. its a GENERAL opinion. We not talking about NOW, we talking about where he'd be at THEN. Stupid nikka.

I said he would still be one of the best in that era if you take his musicality and rapping today and put it in the 90s. Luther would have been alive to send in the real vocals.

There were/are artist who were/are considered some of the best ever that weren't commercial draws. You not proving nothing. Aceyalone and Del got some of the most critically acclaimed albums ever.

Ok but they wasn’t working with George Clinton, Dr Dre or battle cat. Sound wave would have still had that nikka lit in the 90s. Good Kid mad city would have still been a classic album in the 90s based of the story telling of it on the whole album. Actually that album would have been very fitting for the 90s.

nikka I’ll be 40 next I been listening to hip hop since the 90s. I can tell you right now I have never seen a rapper at 37 dominate in this way in hip hop. All the rappers were all going in there legacy years at that age.

Jay had Kingdom Come
Eminem had Recovery
Wayne had Carter 5
Kanye had Yeesuz
Kendrick had GNX which I would say is a better album at the age then what I listed above.

Lebron and Steph still playing at 37 and 40. In a tougher,more physical,higher IQ league i dont think they would be. Tom Brady played til 40,if you could kill QBs like you used to,i dont think he would have.

Hes surviving under a different set of rules. There were younger,hungrier artist who pushed Jay to the background. Kendrick was never around enough or as big as Kanye and Wayne for people to get sick of him. Theres a new standard for him now,the rim has been raised and the trampoline taken away. Can he dunk like Vince under these conditions? His albums arent on par with goat hiphop albums for me. Its a reason people alway reach to talk about other genres. Bu bu but if you compare him to Miles Davis

Subjective opinion. I think Kendrick came up around a good crop of artists in the 2010’s. You had Drake, Cole, Wale, Meek, Big Sean, Krit, Future, and ASAP. Plus the other TDE artists he came with Jay Rock, Ab Soul and School boy Q. I fukks with 2010s hip hop more than I did the late 2000s when it was just Wayne and Ye dominating. The 90s is identified as mostly big and pac even though there was alot of great artists around.

Kanye and Wayne didn’t really have much competition by the time they were dominating.

For years people have been slobbing on Drake's nut. And then look how quickly those 'fans' turned on him when he lost a beef. The 'fandom' was never genuine; never real. Same problem with Kendrick. Folks just latch onto whatever is perceived as popular. Like we're still in high school or some shyt.

When Kendrick makes one misstep these folks will quickly turn on him too. Suddenly the highly 'acclaimed' "GNX" album will be forgotten like MC Hammer's comeback on 106 & Park.

Future was around the biggest artists of the south at that time getting knowledge and learning how to record you know how many nikkaz would have killed to be in a position being side by side OutKast and Goodie Mob soaking up game. If that didn’t happen who is to say he wouldn’t be the future he is today. Drake was signed to young money by the time best I ever had came out. You wasn’t around during the replacement girl days when he was begging for features from Trey Songz. Drake wasn’t poppin in his own city until he got that Wayne co-sign.

had heard heard replacement girl but figured id never see him again.Im only saying as someone who didnt really know who he was,Wayne had no impact on making me view him or how i viewed him. And even after finding out he was with Wayne it meant nothing.Plus is the Wayne cosign even a thing? Hard to compare that to a Jay or Dr Dre cosign that are proven. Drakes a different type of machine creation we havent seen in hiphop before. He was given hits to pop out like a pop star,no mystery why he was succesful.


Future music doesnt sound Dungeon Family esque. Not to mention their cosign meant nothing in that era even if they gave him one. His music was his own and created its own momentum. Can you compare that with a Dre cosign and being called "King of the West" by Snoop and Game


These are things that helped bring eyes to and propell Kendrick. There has to be an asterisk when comparing him to goats.

This is a damn lie. T.I, Jay, Nas, Game, Jeezy, Ross. Hell some of those names were on top of the game BEFORE Wayne and Kanye (T.I was the hottest rapper in the world 06. Hell he was on Kaye heels in 04 and 05 and he didnt even drop an album that year).

 

[CM_Burns]

No lol... like billboard said, Kendrick was always bigger, Drake was just dropping more material, spamming streaming services.

LMAO.

Jay and Nas were legacy at that point. Jeezy, Game and Ross were not dominating like Wayne and Ye in the late 2000s stop this. Those two pave the way for a lot of the artists coming up in the 2010s. I said late 2000s not early.

I said the were COMPETITION, just like YOU SAID. Late 2000s is 2006 - 2009. You lying if you saying those dudes weren't stiff competition for ANYBODY around that time. They weren't at the top, but they were to be noticed and on each others radar.

Nas had a #1 album at 38

Ok and like I said I wasn’t fukking with hip hop in the late 2000s. If I was it was either Wayne or Ye. Jeezy and TI were cool but I fukk with the 2010s southern artists more like gunna, future and thug.
