    Duno how he could top tpab, quality wise, this s--- is pretty much the audiobiography of the past 30-40 years of L.A.

    but I can see him doing more commercial songs

    Absolutely not, kendricks too talented and creative. He's shown no signs of slowing down. Crazy thing is he's just getting started...at least musically.

    But as a rapper, I think he peaked with section 80.

    Critically? Definitely
    Artistically? Don't know, all his albums are different, I wouldn't be surprised if his next project was a rock album.
    Commercially? I don't think so, it all depends on whether or not he wants to make "mainstream" music.

    Gonna be insane to see where Kendrick goes with his career and who he ends up working with. Like years ago I couldn't even imagine him working with some of the artists he did on TPAB and come out with the product he did.

    Kendrick is a really smart guy. I think he knows where to head. And he seems like he is in it truly for the art and not just the money.
