Is kendrick as notable as eminem, 50 cent, jay z, pac, biggie, ice cube or not just yet
I think kendrick's been the top of the gen x/millennial born rap dem for a decade. He's had critical and commercial success, done the superbowl, done sold out world tours. I'd say he's as successful as Jay, em, and all them, more successful than most 'GOAT' candidates. Only thing is kenny ain't as flashy with his business outside of music. Jay Z sort of established himself as a business man after being successful, then had his comeback album that was great, married Beyonce, owns ciroc, et cetera. Ppl dont find shit out aboht kendrick unless its through his music.
E: not in that order about hove
Tl;dr - kenny won rap a pulitzer within 6 years of being a rapper, got his grammies n shit, all your greats have good music but the canon bias is strong. Kenny has had more success than these older guys ur mentioning like 50c, and in less than half the span of career.
