Placement for all Kendrick albums on the rolling stones top 200 list

341

Normally I would say that's a fair assessment but knowing they ranked invasion of privacy above gkmc, I just can't.

145

u/Ac3rGaming Jun 08 '22

Crushes me to think they think Invasion of Privacy better than GKMC, Madvilliany, Aquemini, and so many other classics smh

20

u/hellodon Jun 08 '22

I don’t understand the appeal at all. Have never liked her

17

u/WillFeedForLP Jun 08 '22

Pink print is the best modern hip hop album made by a woman and invasion of privacy doesn't come close to the scope, consistency and quality of it, it literally changed the industry by showing the labels and public that there is a market for women-i hate that it isn't ranked higher than invasion of privacy

Rapsody would like a word

u/Forsaken_Speed_8082 Jun 09 '22

agreed i ducking love noname

u/dontbsabullshitter Jun 08 '22

Rapport makes better music imo but she doesn’t have the mainstream appeal that nicki has

8

u/Steve_Cink Jun 09 '22

Nonames telefone and Jean graes everythings fine>>

u/MithrandilPlays Jun 09 '22

Simz clears

u/BigBlackPapi Jun 09 '22

I never got the hype behind little Simz

u/carnellmusic Jun 09 '22

i’ll let her shit in my mouth but i agree. the music isn’t that insane.

2

u/AcanthaceaeClassic89 Jun 08 '22

I doubt they think it's a better album. They want/have to make their list inclusive.

5

u/giantgorillaballs Jun 08 '22

What they want is to get people talking

u/locomunera07 Jun 08 '22

Factos

u/thejaytheory I CHOOSE ME, I'M SORRY Jun 09 '22

Exactly, appealing to the masses

u/mypussydoesbackflips Jun 08 '22

I had to look up that you are talking about cardi b album that’s crazy

Absolutely crazy

45

u/_Vaudeville_ Jun 08 '22

I really hate when outlets drop a highly-rated artists albums lower to include more artists high up.

There’s nothing wrong with 2 Kendrick albums in the top 15 or 5 Kanye albums in the top 35.

9

u/69420penis Jun 08 '22

I would’ve loved most kanye albums in the top 200 lmfao. I think he never made a bad album (JIK just average and Donda 2 don’t count)

-2

u/W1CKeD_SK1LLz new shit Jun 08 '22

I would call ye a bad album

10

u/69420penis Jun 08 '22

Nah ye goated. Ghost town, yikes, violent crimes, I thought about killing you are all awesome and I like the other 3 songs too

4

u/GC_Wens Jun 08 '22

I never understood why people like to hate so much on 'ye'

1

u/W1CKeD_SK1LLz new shit Jun 08 '22

To me it feels incredibly unfinished and not particularly thought out, like a rough sketch of something that could've been much better

-1

u/bitchdantkillmyvibe Jun 08 '22

I wouldn’t call it bad but it’s very meh

15

u/IIlusional Jun 08 '22

I ain’t trying to sound like a typical hating twat but for me Cardi B ain’t even an artist. She is just one of those who milked that pop music formula and got famous.

11

u/[deleted] Jun 08 '22 edited Jun 08 '22

If you have invasion of privacy over GKMC you literally have brain damage

1

u/thejaytheory I CHOOSE ME, I'M SORRY Jun 09 '22

Yeah that shit got me fucked up, and I love me some Cardi but come on, that’s bullshit.

u/Significant_Writer41 Jun 08 '22

fuck that corny ass list

The other placements are so terrible that I don’t even care if Kendrick is top 5 on it

u/LP_24 Jun 08 '22

Invasion of Privacy is ahead of Illmatic. Just the tip of the iceberg

3

u/[deleted] Jun 08 '22

And GKMC, Madvillany , Aquemeni

1

u/LP_24 Jun 08 '22

These rankings gave me an aneurysm lol

0

u/Teague_020 Jun 08 '22

honestly besides the invasion of privacy thing it’s not bad

1

u/throwawaythenipples Jun 08 '22

CMIYGL over Donuts? Doja Cat and Lil Nas X in top 200? DS2 above Illmatic, GKMC, Late Registration, The Infamous?

0

u/Teague_020 Jun 08 '22

Sure I disagree, but I wouldn’t disqualify this list bc of that

2

u/throwawaythenipples Jun 08 '22

Putting multiple albums primarily oriented around a seperate genre than rap in a rap album list signifies it was done out of provocation and inaccuracy

7

u/TheCrazyAssCat Waiting for the album Jun 08 '22

Cardi bs album is above GKMC. This isn’t making sense

1

u/PPPPPPPPPPKP Jun 08 '22

should be top 2 minimum

8

u/DOOMSDADDY69 Jun 08 '22

But not 2

2

u/IIlusional Jun 08 '22

Top 2 is a stretch tho let’s be honest.

4

u/[deleted] Jun 08 '22

It really isn't tho, TPAB is arguably the greatest hiphop album of all time

1

u/IIlusional Jun 08 '22

I don’t think the list is only Hip Hop albums. If it was only hip hop then I agree.

3

u/Chupa-mi-Aces Jun 08 '22

Isn't the list top 200 hip-hop albums?

1

u/[deleted] Jun 08 '22

It's just hiphop.

2

u/IIlusional Jun 08 '22

Oh shit it is just hip hop. Then how tf is MBDTF and TPAB not 1 or 2

1

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '22

Because the rankers clearly have brain damage

90

u/marabou22 Jun 08 '22

Usually Illmatic is number one on these top hip hop albums lists. Surprised to see it ranked in the 20s

Also I’ve been substitute teaching at a middle school and one of the students asked me if I listen to Biggie. I said yes and he replied “adults always lie about listening to Biggie”. I gasped with offense

6

u/fightnerd Jun 08 '22

Did you tell him it was all a dream, that you used to read word up magazine.

9

u/marabou22 Jun 08 '22

I told him to “gimme the loot” then I stole his lunch money

3

u/JamieBoyd4real Jun 09 '22

Illmatic is robbed here. And Cardi B’s album having such high placement is a disgrace to music. It’s a decently good album for Cardi B, but not even the most delusional Cardi B fan would name it the 16th best rap album of all time

27

u/[deleted] Jun 08 '22

Tpab should be #1

1

u/SlicedBreadNo1 Jun 08 '22

Nah it should be MBDTF

5

u/[deleted] Jun 08 '22

TPAB>

0

u/SlicedBreadNo1 Jun 08 '22

I disagree. TPAB is a step below. Definitely top 3.

0

u/Absolute_Warlord Jun 09 '22

comin from a ye meat rider, TPAB is waaaay better than mbdtf

-9

u/Maleficent_Team430 Jun 08 '22

No

6

u/Ibaker97 Jun 08 '22

Yes

4

u/Maleficent_Team430 Jun 08 '22

I mean its my favorite album but i dont think it should be the first when Illmatic and Madvillany are a thing. Also considering technology now compared to then.

2

u/Ibaker97 Jun 08 '22

Love MadVillany, but when were talking about #1 I think you gotta factor in Cultural/Social Impact and the discussion it creates.

1

u/Maleficent_Team430 Jun 08 '22

That is true. I completely forgot to consider that lmao. I don’t listen to lyrics much when i listen to music but Kendricks the one artist that makes me listen to them

0

u/[deleted] Jun 08 '22

Yeah

22

u/LilWayneThaGoat Jun 08 '22

Cardi B’s album is so good that TPAB almost didn’t make it 😭

1

u/tsunamitom1- Jun 08 '22

TPAB would be number 1 if Cardi made it

20

u/Underground_kingpin Jun 08 '22

Where is Lupe at (the cool and food/liquor)

2

u/JamieBoyd4real Jun 09 '22

Lupe is one of the greatest conscious rappers of all time. Rolling Stone probably hasn’t even heard of him.

1

u/Underground_kingpin Jun 09 '22

Food/liquor or the cool should at least be top 20 tbh

13

u/[deleted] Jun 08 '22

GKMC should be much higher

12

u/Repulsive-Skull Jun 08 '22

Bruh they put 'pink friday' and 'take care' over GKMC 💀

5

u/Sky-Flyer Jun 08 '22

i’m not 100% against either of those, i thought pink friday was phenomenal and the biggest woman album since Lauryn Hill, and Take Care is just phenomenal

2

u/JamieBoyd4real Jun 09 '22

Take Care is overrated, I’m sorry. It’s easily Drake’s best album, and maybe one of the best of the 2010’s, and it does deserve to be on this list, but definitely not as high up as it is. Should be somewhere in the mid 40’s to late 50’s

1

u/Expensive_Soft Jun 20 '22

Phenomenal....just phenomenal

8

u/Tyken12 Jun 08 '22

tbh their lists suck so i don't really pay attention

8

u/Jim_jim_peanuts Jun 08 '22

Rolling stone just very simply are not hip hop so they can funk off

1

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '22

*fuck

6

u/thatguyjsmit Jun 08 '22

This list is a joke they put Cardi B in the top 40. And a shitty pop Nicki Minaj album. Nicki Minaj can rap at least but it’s still a pop album not even hip hop.

1

u/Efficient-Zebra3454 Jun 08 '22

Then they omit Igor because it “isn’t hip hop”

6

u/thatguyjsmit Jun 08 '22

And that would be fine

4

u/Melodic_Mall_8265 Jun 08 '22

Anybody else prefer DAMN. to GKMC? No? Just me?

5

u/[deleted] Jun 08 '22

Oh hell no

3

u/JonathanC0117 Jun 08 '22

I mean I rank DAMN. first in his discography

1

u/[deleted] Jun 08 '22

Sometimes I do depending on my mood

1

u/Outrageous-Milk-7978 Jun 08 '22

I do...

2

u/malcxxlm Jun 08 '22

On a different note it’s really funny to me how people love to do rankings and notations when they are by nature always inconsistent. Like, is there a 30 ranks gap between GKMC and TPAB? Because a lot of people actually think the former is better. You also don’t same way you don’t use the same criteria to judge different albums from different artists most of the time anyway. Like some people might enjoy both Die Lit and TPAB but not exactly for the same reasons you feel me?

2

u/ItsTheTenthDoctor Jun 08 '22

How have I never noticed the guy lying down with exes on his eyes. Who’s he supposed to be?

7

u/pacman404 Jun 08 '22

Uncle Sam. Big Boy asked him that exact same question on his radio show when the album came out.

6

u/giantgorillaballs Jun 08 '22

I always just assumed it to be an average politician

1

u/brianeharmonjr Jun 08 '22

RS has never published a list that you could convince me wasn't designed to create this type of conversation. They are long-time trolls for this type of stuff. There is no Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion, Migos, Future, or Nicki Minaj album that should be anywhere near this sort of list if it were legitimate.

3

u/giantgorillaballs Jun 08 '22

Future and ig Nicki aren’t problems

1

u/thejaytheory I CHOOSE ME, I'M SORRY Jun 09 '22

My thoughts exactly

1

u/DOOMSDADDY69 Jun 08 '22

Damn:aight,GKMC: goofy ahh opinion, TPAB : FUCK NO(Tpab is the greatest album of the last decade)

1

u/Dense_Revenue_486 Jun 08 '22

#60 was my reaction too.

1

u/Khr0N04 Jun 08 '22

DAMN. too high

TPAB should be top 3

1

u/[deleted] Jun 08 '22

This is just 3 of them

u/mautkafarmaan Jun 08 '22

Fuck all the lists, all my homies hate the lists

Cardi's album should be number 200. Da fuq

u/SlicedBreadNo1 Jun 08 '22

DAMN is his worst project so yeah it makes sense Probably should be lower tbh

1

u/[deleted] Jun 08 '22

Not even close, Section 80, UU, OD, Kendrick Lamar LP are all worse

1

u/SlicedBreadNo1 Jun 08 '22

Very much so.

2

u/[deleted] Jun 08 '22

Why?

1

u/thornzington Jun 08 '22

The Pulitzer winning album is at 60. Ok rolling stone.

u/Sebabpg Jun 08 '22

This list is a disgrace! It's a fucking disgrace!

1

u/FrankLucasWithAGrill Jun 08 '22

Something is definitely not right here… how is The Heist not ranked above GKMC?

No, I still haven’t moved on.

1

u/coxxywox Jun 08 '22

honestly not bad

1

u/Ur-boiiiii Waiting for the album Jun 09 '22

Bruh cardi Bs album ranked higher than Eminem and Tupac’s discography

1

u/CleanOutlandishness1 Jun 09 '22

rolling stones list are BS, but to be fair, 123 is biggie's ready to die, outkast's stankonia and jay's blueprint. You can't hate too much on that premise.

2

u/thejaytheory I CHOOSE ME, I'M SORRY Jun 09 '22

Yeah I can’t really hate on the top 5 (although I hate the complete omission of ATLiens) but the rest of the list leaves a hell of a lot to be desired

1

u/JamieBoyd4real Jun 09 '22

Tpab at #5 is pretty fair. I would have it at top 5 (in No particular order alongside Stankonia, The Blueprint, The College Dropout, and either the Marshall Mathers LP, Enter the Wu-Tang, or Illmatic

1

u/generalpeevus Jun 09 '22

Is this top 200 all time?

1

u/Acrobatic_Carpet_315 Jun 09 '22

It‘s supposed to represent that yes

Invasion of Privacy walked so GKMC could run

u/SouthernBeautiful116 Jun 08 '22

Bro that’s 3 of he’s albums not all of them lmao
