TPAB is the album that gets him there, and he's an artist I won't even try to guess at how his next cut will sound at this point, I was expecting some stronger west coast sounds and he went full artsy

For the icons who get put up there like 40, Pac, Snoop, Cube I really think Kendrick does more on the mic flow wise, fast raps, singing, pitching his voice. I think he got all those top ranked guys in the variety department.

He almost in alter ego territory, so while those greats have the classic albums and great backgrounds/careers like one said above, we in the snapchat chat age where moving past shit is culture, so if his generation and younger people hold him up and he keeps putting out dope albums he can get there.

I don't want an environment where he has to make another "alright" for people to say his work mattered but dude just need more time.
