Is “GNX” Kendrick Lamar’s most impressive album?
Kendrick Lamar just made history—again.
His critically acclaimed album GNX has officially broken the record for most weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Rap Albums chart, holding the spot for a whopping 22 weeks. This achievement solidifies GNX not only as a commercial powerhouse but also as one of Kendrick’s career highlights.
Blending sharp lyricism, powerful themes, and hard-hitting production, GNX arrived with the impact of a tidal wave. From the venomous “euphoria” to the viral energy behind “Not Like Us,” Kendrick seemed like he had gotten to a point where he simply couldn’t miss. Since then, the album has sparked endless think pieces, won multiple awards, and shifted where Kendrick is ranked in many people’s eyes.
With this new milestone, Kendrick surpasses the likes of Drake, Future, and Travis Scott in this particular chart category, which should tell you he is definitely in the Big 3, if not 1.
