Game was hot in early/mid 2000s but did he really have the WC torch at the time?

Nah. This Kendrick Lamar.

And I put a lot of info so we can discuss his work here instead of turning the general music section into a kendrick section.

I mean if we do it for certain video games that deserve their own threads then why not for these bigger artists, especially since they're relevant today.

As much as I feel like musicians need their own threads (granted which ones are warranted and which ones aren't?), I can't help but wonder if this will be locked along with each other one.
