    He can't top To p---- A Butterfly, that album is gonna be his magnum opus.
    When you think about it, you could say that he fell off when he dropped gkmc, but he redeemed himself by dropping his best album to date: tpab.

    Kendrick has also understood how to make music, now he understands what works and what doesn't work in music.

    In my opinion what makes Kendrick great is that not only is he a stellar rapper but his production accentuates the ideas he's trying to get across and for me, this isn't an opinion I reserve for Kendrick it's what I use to measure every rapper by. When I listen to Jay-Z or Nas or Kool G Rap or with more more contemporary artists when I listen to Blu,J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar, Wale, Fashawn etc. I'm judging them by how they use the beat AND their pen, in Kendrick's case he's taken it a step further and hired on some incredibly talented musicians and writers that can bring more to the table than the typical beat maker can.

    On average they (the typical beat maker) simply won't know anything about Bebop scales or Altered scales, syncopation and polyrhythms, shifting keys several times throughout a song, writing charts for several instruments or other more complex musical ideas. Kendrck didn't know anything about that before GKMC.

    "he a stellar rapper"

    i dont think he is that great of a rapper , what does he has over jay,nas,doom,lupe,em for example as a rapper??

    he can make good albums indeed, but as a pure rapper ? maybe flow over lupe and doom but they k--- him with other aspects

    Why you mad maximus? I bet you can't even respond to my comment...

    if you like gkmc more thats fine, but I'm not interested in reading about your personal tastes, I'm here to talk about music and its technical aspects.

    Why are you so biased?

    A lot of people still believe section 80 is his best album. I disagree with that, I think tpab is his best project so far, but it is what it is, A lot of hip hop heads still believe s80 as his prime.

    You can't say it's "all about opinions" and then laugh when someones says gkmc was underwhelming compared to s80
