Future of HipHop: Kendrick

I'm sure everything that needs to be said about this dude has already been said...working with Dre, cosigned by everyone in hiphop. I'm not really going out on a limb here saying dude is nice, but Kendrick has that extra something special that makes people like Kanye transcend the bounds of hiphop and become something more than just a rapper. He may be too conscious for superstar fame, and his rise hasn't been nearly as meteoric as, say, Odd Future; but he seems to be the type of classic artist with plenty of substance to go along with his skill. Wise beyond his years, the sound is contemporary, yet classic. So far, his "mixtapes" (both OD and Section.80) have been, in his own words "better than most ni&&as LPs"...Only time will tell.
