Never took you for a big hip hop guy but I reckon you'd like Kendrick, especially To Pimp a Butterfly.
For the record he blew up about 5 years ago and has put out three classic albums back-to-back. Most hip hop aficionados and fans already rank him among the greats like Pac, Nas, Biggie, Eminem etc. for his lyrical talent and his artistry.
He's probably been the most important man in music for the last few years.
Also Joey's song isn't that bad!
One of my mates was a big Rap fan in the 70's when it all again - he said back in 1976 that he thought "Pastime Paradise" from Stevie Wonders "Song's in the Key of Life" would be the future of music.
So I sort of got into Sugar Hill Gang and GrandMasterFlash when he went solo. Later on same friend got me into Easy-E who I still like to listen to when I'm riding.
However, I don't like Snoop, Dre, IceCube, Eminem, and so on. Their music is purely designed to make money.

I listen to loads of stuff these days provided its actually good. (Ive listened to humble almost a dozen times since it came number 1 in the top 100 and for the life of me still cant figure out why.)
And Thats a subjective question because the masses want stuff thats simple and readily accessible and thats translates well to pop and modern hip/hop and rap which means more people listen to it so it gets more airtime which equals to more popularity and sales, But if I had to put a name in the ring simply on quality of their recent released stuff id have to say The Foo Fighters. Also explain what you mean by most important man is music. Do you mean in reviving his genre of music?, Inspiring loads of other musical artists? or something else?
The Foo Fighters would be totally irrelevant today if they weren't such an established band. They haven't put out a good album in years (I actually really liked Wasting Light - that came out in 2011). Try again.
He's the most important man in music because he is universally loved by critics, his peers and fellow musicians, hip hop heads, casual fans and even Barrack Obama. No one else in music has had the same aura and cross over success as he has had. He's an icon of this generation, and it's for the right reasons; his music is provocative, political, technically fantastic, he tells important stories, and he can write a banging pop tune.
Isn't Kendrick the new Kanye who was the new Jay Z who was the new Diddy who probably took the torch from someone etc etc.
My only concern is how quick we are to labelling someone the 'best ever' (the boffins words, not yours Parksey) then move on as soon as the shiny new thing comes along.
Its actually a good parallel to the Foo Fighters. For some reason people keep coming back to them whereas in Hip Hop it seems legacy doesnt last as long.
(Foo Fighters had 2 studio albums out before Diddy released his first one - geez).
Personally every time THE NEW Foo Fighters song comes on I'm like "oh thats a pretty good Foo Fighters song" but by the 3rd listen i hate it and never want to hear it again.
Im no Kendrick aficionado either but i loved King Kunta but think Humble is a nothing song.
Great video though. really great.
ayo plizzle.
kendrick is decent but i'm struggling to get him into my top 10.
however - i can see why people are on him. the competition is trash. look at the dudes he's up against ffs

He's a 21st Century Bob Dylan. The music itself doesn't come close but the lyrics and content is as relevant and poweful today as Dylan was in the 60's.
However, the music itself goes nowhere which may be intentional but it needs to be more creative to hold my attention.
Overall not for me but I can see it being important for others.
Can’t believe Parkesy left “Free” off his TPAB list.
Always singing that to my wife
At the barbers today and they had Beastie Boys tunes playing. I'd forgot how great they were.
