    Comparing this thread to @Immy's drake thread

    Do you think he has hit his prime yet? dropping 2 major label important albums which were both successful.

    Every feature he puts out just seems to shine compared to other rappers, which also points to him being in his prime.

    Can you see him topping TPAB or even GKMC whichever you think is better?

    I actually do wonder if he's peaked yet.

    Will his next album be when he falls off? (People already think he has but let's not kid ourselves).

    It's hard to tell. I feel like he still has a lot to show and that a lot will be revealed in his next album

    Yeah he easily can. Kendrick has so much potential still, the best rapper in the world right now and he is still getting his feet wet.

    I honestly think that he still has a lot more to offer and accomplish. His future is still bright.

    About Kanye. Im actually hoping Kendrick does re do his verse. Waves is gonna be a big album and Kendrick knows that. We already seen what happened in Dre's album.

    These are my thoughts exactly. I'd be completely satisfied if Kendrick didn't release another album until 2017 or even 2018 because I know it will be worth the wait. He puts so much time, effort and thought into his music and projects. I understand how much time is needed for it to be at the quality that he has offered up to this point.

    The worst things Kendrick could ever do would be to rush an album, just try to please fans, or release projects in quick succession of one another.
