A number of publications named the triple platinum-certified debut as one of the greatest debut albums of all-time, even the album’s cover gained recognition. There is no debate that the project was a complete body of musical excellence.

Fast forward to 2019 and the album’s long-lasting impact has earned Kung Fu Kenny another accolade to add to his legacy. good kid, m.A.A.d city has surpassed Eminem’s The Eminem Show for the longest running Hip-Hop album in Billboard history. The Detroit rapper released diamond-certified album in 2002. It was his second album to sell 10 million units. Both Kendrick and Eminem are proteges of Dr. Dre, so it was only right that Kendrick surpass Em in this milestone.
