I’m all for the newer generation to get in there but being that high up is a exclusive club for a reason & it’s still a bit too early to let them jump ahead of some legendary artists. I believe Kendrick is on his way…but not now.

He was more than Revolutionary, but Is Iconic. If anything, he should be #1.The first on his level, then followed Biggie, Eminem. Jay-Z, Nas... I said followed PAC. You can disagree and not like PAC, but still doesn't change the fact that he paved the way and was the first of his kind. Your favs are inspired by PAC and list him at the top. Like it or not.

He also popularized treating Hip Hop like a business instead of an Art. With "I'm a Business-Man" Rhyme along with his approach.
