Kendrick Lamar now has the longest running number one album of all time on the Billboard’s rap charts.
GNX, which was originally released last November, has been number one on the chart for a record breaking 22 weeks, highlighting the longevity of the project.
The previous record holder was Pop Smoke for his posthumous album Shoot For The Stars Aim For The Moon which held on to the number one spot for 21 weeks.
Lamar also looks set to continue lengthening his run as he continues to break records left and right.

He and SZA can also boast about having the highest grossing co-headlining tour of all time.
As the North American leg of the Grand National tour nears a close, the two TDE heavyweights have been a huge success on the road.
Through just 23 shows across America and Canada, Kendrick and SZA have grossed more than $256 million.
The duo’s average gross per show has been $11.1 million and they have sold a total of 1.1 million tickets across the record breaking run.
The average concert on the tour has been attended by 48,000 fans.
SZA gave Kendrick Lamar his flowers on the latest stop of their Grand National tour in Maryland.
During the portion of the concert where both stars are on stage, SZA reflected on how valuable her former TDE labelmate has been to her career so far.
Getting emotional, SZA said: “He put me onto the biggest moment of my life. This is also the biggest moment of my life… I’m so thankful, and I’m so thankful to y’all.”
The two “Luther” collaborators then shared a close hug before continuing to perform.
SZA previously revealed she had doubts over the co-headlining tour with the rap superstar.
Sitting down for a chat with Chappell Roan for Interview Magazine, SZA has confessed to suffering from anxiety.
She said: “Every time I had to go on stage, every time I had to get on a carpet, I’d have full-on panic attacks. I used to not show up to something because it was like, ‘I’m never going to win. No one cares that I’m here. Why would I go?’”
The TDE singer said those issues spilled over into her tour with Kendrick: “Same thing with the Kendrick tour. Everybody’s going to see Kendrick. I don’t even know if I have anything to show these people that’s exciting and new.”
Drake’s next album ICEMAN(but he really meant GAY MAN) will beat that record and be recorded live from DJ Akademiks’ ass. I’m definitely buying it.
I hope life gets better for you.
K. Dot defeated the competition. Made the world see the gutless punk ass white boy for the true loser he is.
Incorrect. It’s the lack of talent and beta males that really see Drake as an opponent as the reason for this overrated response. This album is ok, so these crazy numbers from yours and record breaking is coming from internet trends. There’s far better albums with less results. Thank Universal. Nothing about this is natural. If you know you know
Revisionist concepts are for internet nerds. When you are blessed with the presence my thoughts, don’t intervene with your contrarian filth.
As great greg, I can confirm my butt baby Drake the 6 God only lost because UMG sold him out but as long as I guzzle Drake’s cum my hubby will cum from his top, I mean come out on top when he drops Iceman and finally comes out the closet.
Do you really think that anyone who has read your past comments believes you came up with that one by yourself? You are a racist, misogynist and a simpleton and you obviously paid someone to come up with the comment to @Huh. I doubt if you even understood @Huh’s comment but knew they shut your ass down
The same Canadians always crying like their favorite rapper over my comments. Besides maple syrup, nothing great has ever come out of your country.
So now all the people who comment to you are Canadian and/or white boys. It has never crossed your mind that women also comment here. And if you really want to hate Drake why don’t you hate him for being a pedo instead of being part white. But go on and be the woman hitting dwarf’s fuck boy.
I must reiterate…no one is reading all that shit my boy.
This is a stupid record because the onlybreason it exists is because of no physical media. Its just the same people streaming it over and over again. Back in the day, when you bought a disc, it was yours to keep. You werent renting it.
My unbiased opinion is that album is trash.. I rather listen to Section 80
so where is the review? Why don’t you do the reviews anymore? This website is trashhhh since 2 years
where is the review of GNX??????????????????????????????????????????
It took a while for the album to grow on me. It is dope. Congratulations Kendrick
Now I cant wait for the clipse album
