Kendrick Lamar G.O.A.T Perhaps?

American Rapper Kendrick Lamar born Kendrick Lamar Duckworth in Compton, California is in my personal opinion one of the greatest rappers of all time and not just in my generation. His musical flow is like none other. He's often stated that his biggest musical influences and top favorite rappers are the late great Tupac Shakur,The Notorious B.I.G, Nas, Jay-Z, Eminem, DMX, Ice Cube and Prodigy of Rap Group Mobb Deep. So far Kendrick has won a total of Seven Grammy Awards as well as received the key to the city of Compton back in the year 2016. Kendrick Lamar has released a total of three studio albums in which two of those three were certified platinum. He is also currently signed to Top Dawg Entertainment and Aftermath Records as well as a member of the rap group BlackHippy alongside fellow labelmates Ab-Soul, Jay Rock and Schoolboy Q.

Since that moment Kendrick and Dr. Dre has been working together on several of Kendrick's songs and Dre's long-awaited Detox album. In fact Dr. Dre made an appearance on Kendrick's good kid, m.A.A.d city album on songs called The Recipe and Compton; Kendrick himself even made an appearance on Dr Dre's album Compton on the tracks Genocide, Deep Water, and Darkside/Gone.

In Conclusion, Kendrick is one of my favorites is because his punchlines are amazing and he's an innovator as well a great influence and role model on the youth today. Kendrick doesn't drink alcohol or smoke marijuana and although he knows people who "Gangbang", he himself doesn't participate in those activities. Kendrick is rarely involved in Rap beefs but when his name is mentioned he answers back with a dope track of his own. In my honest opinion, I believe that Kendrick Lamar is the King of Hip-Hop and will be on top of the throne for several more years to come.
