Post em.

I keep hearing he's such a great lyriscist, but i just don't get it. I've listened to the album a few times and I can't recall any standout rewindable:ohmy: lines

Am I missing something?

Lyrically it's weaker than Overly Dedicated and Section 80 but he still brought the bars. Still more lyrical than 99% of the hip hop albums that dropped this year, last year, and will drop next year.

:ohhh: so its more about the lack of lyricism in the game than kendricks lyrical prowess

I guess I can agree with that, he is better than most people on the radio

Kendrick isn't a punchline rapper like Cassidy or Eminem. He's more of a Nas/Pac-type lyricist. He prides himself on storytelling and vibes versus "YO, WHAT DID HE JUST SAY??" Kendrick's music takes multiple listens to fully digest what he's saying. I couldn't give you my favorite 10 K.Dot quotes, but you know that I love the album as a whole tho.

I wouldn't call Pac a lyricist and nas has quotables for days. Post me some hot lines that people might have missed from k.dot

People really give a fukk about quotables. :beli: He crafts great verses that work great with the beat and hook - its a matter of overall product, not one liners here and there.

I see these kind of threads all the time, particularly on :hamster:. As if a MC is based on the odd one liner and punchline here and there. :stopitslime:
