GOAT status includes impact. An ex-Nickelodeon child actor from Canada was and still is the top guy throughout Kendrick’s entire run. How can you be the goat when you never once stood at the top of your era :yeshrug:

He has to pass Nas and Jay Z first which will never happen. Especially Nas.

he's good but not that great

This here.

He's a dope artist. But I can't even say that he's a great MC. He's great at vision and doing his own thing. But I can't say I've heard a bunch of Kendrick verses that have amazed me, and I've been listening to him way before he was even signed. In order to be the GOAT, you have to surpass what previous legends have done. In terms of impact. With all of the great work he's done so far, he still hasn't been able to do that. The term "GOAT" gets thrown around too quickly now, to the point where it's starting not to mean sh*t.

you young guys claim someone is the goat and that "older fans" are hating, and yall don't even respect these artists enough to actually BUY THEIR ALBUMS!!! How can someone be your favorite rapper, when you don't even buy their albums? :russ:
How you gonna tell me what I do and don't buy? :dahell:

I bought his albums. Digitally and physically :dead:

And that original comment wasn't a diss breh breh

It's a real thing. If you've been listening to somebody (i.e. Jay z, nas, or pac) since enough was a kid or a teen, it's gonna be hard to look at someone newer and say they're better than the people you grew up on

That's like expecting someone who grew up in the 80's to put pac over ll cool j or big daddy kane

Everybody is gonna pretty much put the music they grew up on at the top of the list

Nothing wrong with that. It's all opinion. But kendrick will go down as one of the greatest because our gen is gonna put him in the category

Old heads may not all get it, but it's only a matter of time :manny:

bullshyt!!! :russ: . And you know you aint bought shyt. The reason I know you're lying is because there is no need to buy a digital AND physical copy. just buy the physical and download the mp3. That's what a smart person does. It's what I do.

not always true. I grew up listening to kurtis Blow and flava flav. Do you think I'd ever say either of those guys are lyrically better than Papoose. Guys like Kendrick and J Cole are dope rappers, but they are in a generation of bullshyt garbage ass rappers. It's like Dwight Howard being the best center in a center-less league for years. That don't mean he's a top 10 center all time. I made a statement years ago saying that if it was 1995, Kendrick and J Cole would be Skee lo. Dope rappers that get lost in the shuffle because it's too much competition. Mfers didn't catch on to Jay 'Z's debut until years later!!!!! J Cole and Kendrick got it made. They are dope rappers in an era of bullshyt and that helps them to stick out from the rest. But nobody on earth can convince me Kendrick Lamar is better than fukkin G Rap or Rakim. cmon now...
