What you consider correct or not is irrelevant. In this situation what the general populous does would be how everything was accepted, and that's 99% or so of people never mentioning Infinite and calling Em's discog perfect, flawless, or whatever have you

 

Oct 15, 2016

I agree, but again-- I just had a conversation about this with a coworker earlier this month or swore to me that Eminem was the 'greatest' because of how popular and successful he is. And this wasn't an idiot telling me this, just someone who perceived GOATness in that way.

and Eminem released Infinite by himself....and 99% of stans/fans/contemporaries would agree that it is irrelevant and completely not indicative of his career

Kendrick and Drake about to become #1 A & #1 B GOAT.

 

Oct 15, 2016

Thats what Joe Budden said a few months ago, the kid already has the best discography since Kanye. Would be crazy if he was to drop another great project

 

Oct 15, 2016

UU is great and so is s80. Everybody has a different #1 kendrick project just like everybody has a different favorite kanye project, it all depends on who you ask.

Again only time will tell. Those albums have many more years on them than the two mentioned

where as TPAB and MBDTF probably had more recognition on release than any of those albums mentioned. Either way they are guaranteed to be in the discussion once they age too.

 

Oct 15, 2016

Right now? no, he ain't even top 10.. but back in the days it wasn't rare to see him being discussed as the potential GOAT. It stopped as soon as he started tarnishing his catalog.

 

Oct 15, 2016

Illmatic is debatably as recognized in rap but notice it has way more age on it as well, not the most fair comparison.

However, TPAB and MBDTF have way more crossover appeal to other genres

 

Oct 15, 2016

Acutally done watching that s---, and they made some good points...no click bait here.

 

Oct 15, 2016

Does Kanye though, since Kendrick broke into mainstream circa 2011?

outside of his family and persona and everything...has Ye the rapper been more influential and got the recognition that Kendrick has? dunno

 

Oct 15, 2016

Of course...Kanye has been around way longer.

Influence, sales, and recognition since Kendrick Lamar broke through to mainstream?

Em and Drake got him beat on sales...prob not anyone else and hardly anyone has the influence and recognition K.dot has.

 

Oct 15, 2016

No he did not. They mention metacritic, and kendrick has never dropped a project that had a metascore as bad as 75 or 79. Kdot's average metacritic score so far is 88/100, the highest score for a rapper.

 

Oct 15, 2016

you haven't seen the video either... the guy who makes the video himself doesn't consider kendrick as the best ever, he's just listing all the arguments that could be made for that case.

 

Oct 15, 2016

No he did not. It's true that he had several classics within that 4 album streak, but like they said, nobody is challenging the level of acclaim kendrick has.

 

Oct 15, 2016

my flawless logic suggests using The KL Ep as his first proper album, as thats when he ditched the kdot label and started making music as kendrick lamar

 

Oct 15, 2016

notice how I said in this situation. Whether you think it's correct or not doesn't matter, we're dealing with whether hip hop fans care about certain albums/mixtapes in a discography such as Kendrick's early tapes or Infinite.

You're misinterpreting what I said.
