This generation is always trying to be a part of history by making the average shyt they love out to be greater than what it is. This is what happens when everyone has the internet and followers. The sad part is that this generation contains our future writers and biographers 30-40 years in the future. To anyone in their 20s reading this, I suggest homeschooling in the future.
Illmatic, RD, IWW, and Blueprint is better than KL's entire existence. It would be more of a fair fight to compare Nas and Jay's 3rd best albums to TPAB. Then we can go from there.

Love Kendrick, Good Kid Mad City, Damn and GNX up there with any classic
But Nas got Illmatic, which was a game changer and to this day still rap's bible
Jay, a top 5 GOAT too and RD almost up there with Illmatic, I think kenny and Jay on the same level as far as rap shyt go
Kanye changed the game, but I'd put Nas, Kenny and Jigga over him

I like some of his music but i actually think that Kendrick is the most over rated rapper to exist 
Besides 2/3 songs i really couldn't get in to his last albums & that the case for me for most his album besides GKMC & even that I don't rate it much as others.
He's talented with the pen though

I like Kendrick just fine.
A lot of his music sounds like a run on sentence. GNX, his least lyrical album is easily his best one when I kinda flip through them mentally.
I haven't like Kante since graduation. And I wouldn't even rank GNX over albums like Stillmatic or even American Gangsta let alone illmatic or RD.

Stop clicking on them then
Music, like any type of art, is very subjectiveI like some of his music but i actually think that Kendrick is the most over rated rapper to exist

I grew up in Queens new york, early 00s, and lyricism was in our DNA
So from the GOATS who I aint grew up with like Rakim, LL, KRS, BDK, Biggie, Wu... I had to go back and learn the culture just to fit in n discuss with my peoples
This what makes me appreciate Kendrick as a top tier lyricist and what he doin for the game right now
It is not for everybody but I can still appreciate that hes adapted to the current culture and what the youngins want
''fukk a double entendre, I want you to feel this shyt''
Like 'Pac, I think there is a skill, and an expertise on givin the people a complex feeling/thought into a simple way
Where u from breh?
Jay Z & Kanye yes
Not Nas
Not Nas
What I love and respect about Kendrick is that he is going to serve as a bridge, wether people try to over-hype and downplay whoever, there is no DOT without the previous generation, Jay, Nas, Em, 3K and others all in his DNA, and that's absolutely vital to preserving the history, people who can bridge the gaps all the way back to the architech's

What age do you think a proper historian of hip-hop should be?
My older uncles think 90s hip-hop is just a rip off of old funk and soul beats while my younger uncles swear KRS, Kool G Rap and Rakim can’t be surpassed.
It’s a certain age of people who have Nas, Jay, PAC and Big at the top and the younger generation no longer does.
It’s all subjective.
