Kendrick = the New Pitbull/ Flo-Rida

[TruDatz]

Caught highlights of the AMAs last night and saw Kendrick looking like the token black nikka on stage with Maroon 5. I didnt even know dude was on that song. This shyt starting to get embarrassing. How you go from tryna sell some pro-black, I'm the rap savior image to jumping on every lily white pop song with forgettable ass verses and adlibs?

Kendrick getting the looks Flo-Rida used to get. He the go to rapper now. Factz.

In just one year alone:




The Sia song:




Kendrick's verse not even 20 seconds bruh smh





Any other rapper would be getting called out for this. nikkas even felt some type away when Wiz started doing this shyt but silence on Kendrick smh.

I'm a fan of dude, but I had a problem with it too. That's Hip Hop in general though. Somewhere down the line, and it happened long before KL got on, but commercialism became acceptable.

 

[Tombstone]

I hope not, hopefully he's just tryna eat and not going down that path.

 

[StraxStrax]

Damn, he's making hit songs?

fukk him!

:sean_:

 

[Lurk Angle]

Yeah this is where hip hop has been going for a while

 

[10bandz]

i like kendrick but all these pop cac features he's done is sus as fukk

 

[JMD]

I'm not mad at him...If he ever makes a song with Pitbull or Flo-Rida tho

we just gonna act like hip hop hasn't been commercialized since the 90's? and in the 90's every rapper would put out songs with r&b singers on the hook trying to get a hit. those were more often than not mediocre

yeah, R&B singers. Not pop cacs

r&b isn't what it used to be, commercially Kendrick just does these to collect quick checks. At the end of the day we all know about his music and what he stands for

 

[Renegade47]

interscope pimping him out

 

[SirBiatch]

Kendrick was always pop rap (especially once GKMC dropped) so this isn't surprising at all. His base is made up of casuals and hipsters. His music doesn't stand for shyt.

Which makes it all the more hilarious because Duckworth's blatant attempts at pop show how little charisma he has in comparison to 9 All Powerful

But go ahead and ramble off-topic bout anyone but K Dot Minaj, especially ASAP Rocky and SirBiatch

 

[L&HH]

OP is onto something. If this were Jay, Nas, Drake they would be getting crucified on this board. I recall nikkas even shytting on Juicy J for his Katy Perry feature.

 

[smokeurobinson]

Q Tip( who had that same grassroots image that Kendrick has) didn't get any slack when he did this pop song
