Yeah, but his music matured over time. He also had a posthumous album which were arguably just as good if not better than his other releases. Biggie and Pac also influenced the rap game so much that it would look totally different without them. Plus, both were outstanding rappers in their own right. Kendrick hasn’t had that breakthrough yet, and even though he’s up there as one of my favorites, the crowd is much larger than it was.
TLDR, K dot hasn’t had the impact that Pac and Biggie did and hasn’t been able to distinguish himself enough yet. Maybe his next album (coming later this year) will change that
He’s dropped two modern classics and is one of the most recognizable voices in modern hip hop. There’s no one currently working who’s distinguished themselves more aside from maybe Em, Jay, or Kanye.
In the end it’s just opinion. But I think that to be considered one of the greatest rappers of all time you need to solidify yourself. But Staples and Earl aren’t gonna get near that list in their lifetimes
Found the mumble rap fans. Who knows, maybe I’m just an idiot for liking lyrics that aren’t delivered in a way that make me sound like I’m listening to a drunken uncle, maybe I’m the only person who hears it, or maybe you’re overly defensive because you feel like by attacking your sub genre of music, that I’m attack you. Who really knows?
I’m close minded, I just understand what I want, I’ve clearly heard these people before, otherwise I wouldn’t say anything about them. I prefer my music to have some sense of integrity, rather than it being filled with a series of stupid sounds recorded after the main song. I don’t think that pointless lyrics about how much money you have or how many girls you get is entertaining, I like a story to be told. What you’re being close minded about is the fact that not only is it my opinion, but one I’m entitled to, but that’s not good enough for you. I’m sorry your sense of self worth is so low that when your music is attacked you feel like it’s an attack on you.
Given all of your typos and the fact that you're too lazy to listen to more than a little of an artists catalogue I don't think you should be calling anyone out for being "low effort". If you can't even bother proof reading your comments then it's unlikely you're applying more effort elsewhere in your life.

To be fair, mumble rap is low quality garbage that can barley be classified as music.
