So Kendricks album came and went without making an impact

[B. Pumpaveli]

I know this is a touchy subject because a lot was riding on him but it's time to admit he disappointed.
1 month since it dropped and nobody is still playing or talking about it. It didn't make any impact at all and it won't do anything good for his career either. He should forget about taking another 3 years off.

No singles, no standout songs, no replay value and disappointing sales. GKMC was 10 times bigger.

Its not a bad album but the classic talk was way off. Its alright yall can admit it. Lets just be honest.

I think this sort of statement would mean more if this wasn't said about every album by a major artist

Also gtfo with that highest rated album OAT on metacritic stuff

Those reviews might as well have been written before the album came out the way those cacs overhyped it

He's not a rapper that can hype people up like Waka or Chief Keef
He doesn't have the shock value of a Lil B
He's doesn't have the ability to strike emotion like Lil Boosie
He's too ugly to be a ladies' rapper like Drake
He's too conscious to be a swag rapper like A$AP Rocky
He doesn't have a charismatic tone like a 50 Cent
He's a lyrical rapper who can't paint pictures like a Nas or Eminem (see Renegade)
I think the problem is that Kendrick is a jack of trades and a master of nothing.

I've always said this about Cole and Kendrick - NOTHING about them stands out. They have no stand out qualities. That's the definition of wackness. And those are the kinda cats that kill hip hop - the ones who are in it for a paycheque and offer nothing great to the genre.

Lil B, ASAP Rocky - they have qualities that stand the fukk out. Some things they're wack at, and some things they're brilliant at. And that alone makes them way better rappers than Cole and Kendrick.

It has nothing to do with Nelson Mandela, Wet Dreamz and the hood.

 

[Monster]

he hould adopt ake persona, and do something that mainstream would like.


right now he's half fake which is where problems come. if you're gonna be fake you got go all theway.

But people are still discussing the album here everyday? When the Booth can go a week without discussing TPAB in some fashion, come back and make this thread.

He's a better artist than all those people except arguably Nas. He raps better, tells better stories, makes better music and knows how to put together a great album. He's already delivered 3 albums that range from very goodt to classic. That alone puts him in the top 100 rappers of all time because let's face it, most rappers tend to fall off after 1-2 albums.

And Kendrick's really just getting started. He's got at least another 2 great albums in him.

best response I have heard.

These dudes act like the "sophomore slump" doesnt exist.

I applaud the effort but he has to pull a Big Sean for his third album.

Get off Kendrick dikk
