A lot of good points in this post but for whatever he brings to the genre, it is important. He does put out music that connects with the culture on a deeper level than the basehead rap. I don't think his music is particularly enjoyable or replayable but he has his niche and I don't think his style lends itself to lots of people seeking him out as a feature. Being the next Nas shouldn't be an insult (or were you just trying to take a dig). I don't think he is as skilled as a Krit or Wale but he has captured the lane so he gets the props.Now granted, I think his flow is trash and his music unlistenable, but he is the most naturally talented of the 2010 New School and yet in terms of popularity, finances and industry influence (fukk a grammy), he's a distant third...way behind Drake and J.Cole.
All things equal, Kendrick should be far ahead of anyone right now but he isn't. Why's that?It's pretty easy to see actually: this nikka doesn't tour, hardly does any features, no mixtapes in addition to taking a millions years between albums that no one actually listens to (check the numbers, they don't lie
). He hasn't done anything to suggest that he's actually making plans to solidify and/or expand his legacy and future in the game. He has ZERO ambition.
With disingenuous cacs and misguided hotep nikkas fawning all over him, Kendrick should be the undisputed number 1 but he's busy resting on his laurels.Critical acclaim don't mean shyt, breh.
He reminds me of some smart kid who really should be at Harvard but the nikka never applied himself so he's now stuck at some second rate state school.
With that said, Kendrick's next album is do-or-die for him. It will determine whether or not he'll be relevant in the next 15 years or just another Nas....someone who everyone respect but he isn't a real player in the game.
If he creates TPAB part 2, it's over for him.
Critical acclaim does mean shyt if it comes from the critics you value as an artist, especially if he includes his fans as critics

Not sure if he's lazy but he certainly is terrible at rapping.
as better question is, is @Ms. Elaine a woman?

This is a terrible post. He's one of the top 3 rappers in the game in terms of everything -- quality, popularity, critical acclaim, etc. FOH with this.

I don't know if he's lazy but I know whenever I listen to his new music it makes me lazy as fukk and makes me nod the fukk out. Still love GKMC tho.
