Is he in that

Kanye,Rihanna,Beyonce,Snoop Dogg, Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, Justin Timberlake, Brittney Spears, Taylor Swift, 50 Cent, Eminem, Michael Jackson tier to you?

A certified American and Global Superstar?

i mean you can see with big stepper how well he does without drake or sza

Well he just performed at the superbowl so there you go

in 2017 he was arguably the biggest pop star in the world.

I think he is one tier below but this is his moment to get in that category

I was travelling last December in Asia and this is be the first time I heard Kendrick songs outside besides Humble and the GKMC hits. GNX is going crazy

first non-superstar with multiple diamond eligible songs

He should prolly drop another album this year tbh

Go on a Wayne run

Yes? lol.

Yeah…..

He became a superstar in 2017 man lol don't let Drake stans downplay his career

Duh

Taylor, Em, MJ, Beyonce, Rihanna? No lol

He's one of the biggest rappers OAT though. Just not a global megastar

Prime Britney was also bigger and 50 was more mainstream.

But he's not not a superstar, just isn't a pop culture sensation

He's a superstar, but not a worldwide megastar icon. His reach doesnt go beyond strictly music which i feel is instead the case for many of the names listed in op. Kendrick's aversion to the limelight is definitely the main reason, and im honestly surprised he's reached another career high while not engaging much with the world, 15 years in at that

I think he is
But unlike most in that list, he just doesn't have a certain identifiable schtick/gimmick, image-wise

He's more casual

So u won't c ppl trynna look like him or dance like him or whatever
But people love and respect the person he is

he's a rockstar

Yes daddy

Definitely bro everything the culture need in an artist

Na Facebook doesn’t know him

More underground if anything

What the f*** is this thread

yea

Hilarious for OP to not include Drake in that list

Yes, he is the face of Hip Hop right now

He has the first 2x Diamond rap song ever and just headlined a Super Bowl performance.

Anyone saying he isn’t a superstar is not living in reality

He been that since DAMN honestly.
