i don't see kendrick changing the game though?

he's just a unique artist in his own right, but i don't see his influence rubbing off on anyone, maybe our definitions are different

but also its hard to tell in this day and age as well. when pac was around people were basically all limited to the same platforms, music television, and the radio. it was much easier to gain extreme notoriety, if you could break through to those platforms. thats mainly where kendrick kind of suffers. he's broken through to that platform, but no one gives a shit. i know i don't. he has his fans for sure and he's made bangers but to pretend his influence on the culture is even remotely near relevancy with pacs is just ridiculous. we could speculate on if he COULD be this generations pac, and look back on it in 20 years, i just don't think it will happen because of how entertainment and popular figures are in and out the door so fast

also when pac was earning accolades and having his basic lyrics examined in colleges it was during a time when white guilt wasn't an overbearing wet blanket of faggotry, kendrick benefits immensely from the political climate that the light was shining on prior to his emergence

i mean hearing people fawn over his performances at award shows where left leaning dweebs pretend they've oppressed people is a little different from a guy who was an actor/background dancer turned political rapper turned gangster rapper when people were much more comfortable ignoring it and giving awards to depressed white guys making rock music lol
