    and S80, GKMC and TPAB were all ghostwritten

    would his legacy change or would it be like drake and not really affect his career

    Of course it would affect his career.

    Kendrick in general is appreciated as both a musician and a more than skilled writer. If he had a ghostwriter, the legacy of his albums would be destroyed, but the tracks themselves will most likely still remain enjoyable as a tracks, not as products from Kendrick Lamar.

    GKMC would still be a great album. Everything else would be close to trash though.
    Eminem has used ghostwriters before.

    I honestly wouldn't care. If I enjoy the end product it doesn't matter to me who did what (example Dr. Dre)

    i feel he has so much more personal emotion invested in his music

    finding out he had a ghostwriter would destroy me

    On average Kendrick has three to five writers credited on every song on GKMC/TPAB.
