Gkmc is a great rap album, but its also one of his worst, objectively. Let's say it's an accessible one for casual listeners.
Albums Kendrick Lamar - GNX (Official Album Thread)
- Thread starter H.J.Duck
- Start date
yeap, I'd agree with this.
I mean tbh, everything after tpab is switchable, but one thing is sure, tpab has the top spot on lock and I feel like you can't even debate this...there's nothing to discuss lol

Btw, hiphopdx released their 20 best TDE albums just before gnx came out
hiphopdx.com
They have:
1. To Pimp A Butterfly
A jazz-rap masterpiece, To Pimp a Butterfly elevated Kendrick Lamar above anyone that could be billed as his contemporary with a ruthless interrogation of what it meant to be Black in America in the 21st century. The album was to Hip Hop what The Beatles’ Revolver was to rock ‘n’ roll and almost a decade on, it still swirls with a hypnotic surrealism. It’s not only the crown jewel of TDE’s catalog, but the best album of the 2010s.
2. Kendrick Lamar — good kid, m.A.A.d city (2012)
The West Coast was back and it was being carried on Kendrick’s diminutive shoulders. The blog rap star, coming in with the hype of a Dr. Dre co-sign, was the shot in the arm Hip Hop needed in the early 2010s as he mixed cinematic storytelling with stacked rhymes and radio-friendly hooks, without sacrificing authenticity. good kid, m.A.A.d city still sounds as fresh as ever.
3. SZA — SOS (2022)
The long-awaited sophomore album from TDE’s First Lady gave her the status deserving of her talents. The sultry-voiced singer went from cult queen to mainstream superstar seemingly overnight as women everywhere appeared to resonate with SOS‘s themes of female angst. It also spent a remarkable 10 weeks atop the Billboard 200.
4. Kendrick Lamar — DAMN. (2017)
Further developing some of the ideas and sounds he explored on To Pimp a Butterfly, DAMN. is a more personal project but no less vast. Aside from being Kendrick’s first album to sell over half a million units in its first week (603,000, to be exact), it wrote the Compton kingpin into the history books as the first ever non-jazz or classical musician to win the Pulitzer Prize for Music — just in case any Drake fans thought about doubting his credentials.
5. ScHoolboy Q — Blank Face LP (2016)
While Q has not quite kicked on commercially in the way that Blank Face LP promised back in 2016, the album remains a scorching, ominous and often psychedelic masterpiece. Q, at his best, has arguably the most engaging voice in Hip Hop as songs such as “Groovy Tony,” “Str8 Ballin” and “Ride Out” prove.

That's accurate as fukk.
Common said the artists he talked to considered he had 4 (and that was before morale and gnx came out) and that the only artist, at the time, that had more classics than Kendrick was Kanye
But, all things considered, he has the two highest rated rap albums and none of them are gkmc, which was praised as an instant classic when it came out
Some dikksucker who is linked in with with R&M. You know how them x spaces be, a bunch of dikkRIDING industry cucks circlejerkin
Crazy when you think about Kendrick's discography,
One album is the highest rated rap album, influenced the likes of Bowie, Prince, Herbie Hancock, Beyonce, revived LA's jazz,...and considered by plenty of musicians, artists, lecturers as one of the best albums in music history.
One album is the second highest rated rap album, and first (and only) non-classical-jazz album to ever win the Pulitzer.
One album is highly praised too, considered as a modern west coast Illmatic.
What a catalog bruhs

How did all this big dikk stuff even start?
Why the concern about the size of other men’s penises?
Not hating. It’s just I genuinely don’t understand. Is it an inside joke I’m missing?
It’s his gimmick
I don't know about Blank Face being top 5Btw, hiphopdx released their 20 best TDE albums just before gnx came out
