idk. my point wasn't to analyze diabolic technically. it was calling out your if you don't like you don't get bullshyt logic.
Compare some shyt underground rapper to someone that arguably dropped the best album of the decade breh. Compare some shyt underground artist to someone who has done nothing but gotten consistently better every album breh.

:manny: all subjective at that point. You named three lines, only one of them was dope on its own. Shows your tastes are much different than mine (and a lot of people in this thread, for that matter).

Bruh... so 1/3 hit. at least I got one. I'm still waiting on ONE from Kendrick.

And I deliberately named lines from a song that is not about quotes and more in line with Kendrick's approach (the story, not 'punchlines' or 'spitting').

If I start naming strong lines from Nas on songs where he's just spitting, we'll be here for years.

It's not that subjective. When you're GREAT, it's pretty fukking obvious.

But he has lines that a lot of people think are dope, both within context and without. I named some earlier. You don't like them, that's fine. Still seems like you're here to push an agenda instead of to actually seek out good lines.

No I'm not. There is no agenda or grand conspiracy. stop it. I'm just a hip hop fan. I ask the tough questions.

"I'm African American, I'm African, I'm black as the heart of a fukking Aryan" is dope because of the way it plays on black skin color, whites hating blacks, having an evil heart, etc. Describing an anti-black person by calling his heart black is dope, and putting it in the context of a song that's lashing against white supremacy is even more dope.

That line is mediocre to me because it's not a clear image. The repetition of "African" is redundant and straight up filler. I'm african-american, I'm African... dude really wasted some time on that.

"I'm as black as the heart of a fukking Aryan??" HUH? What the fukk does that mean? This is the Lupe scenario all over again.

You new nikkas are addicted to mixed metaphors and it's something I do not fukk with. Especially if the song itself (the vocals + beat) are trash. It's offensive to me, lol.

fukk all that "the themes of white supremacy and race" blah blah bullshyt. You guys are masturbating over randomly referenced themes but not saying a damn thing. The real issue is that that line makes zero sense. You can't picture it. Because it's not an image nor does it inspire an image. And even worse, it's an incorrect simile. It's a mixed metaphor. Similes compare like things. You can't say: "I'm as green as a red light." Them shyts don't go together, unless you're just spewing bullshyt on some comedy shyt. Or being sarcastic (which would mean that Kendrick is not black and only joking about being black).

Is that what he's saying? But if he isn't Black, then why does he repeat how African he is seconds prior? I'm already starting to lose interest. Can't waste my time on vague nikkas. especially knowing that real revolutionaries/strong thinkers are not vague and certainly don't mix their metaphors.

Mos Def has a line that goes: "I'm blacker than midnight on Broadway and Myrtle". That shyt makes sense. It's a specific location I can picture. It's at night. So it's really dark. And he's using the magnitude of that blackness it to compare to his own Blackness. Essentially, it's a simile that actually works. Comparing like things.

"This orphanage we call the ghetto is quite a routine" is profound because calling an entire neighborhood/segment of society an orphanage shows how hopeless it is for a kid growing up that way, and calling it a routine just shows how cyclical/normalized the violence is for people who live there. In the context of a verse where someone is talking about his brother who just got killed, that's even more profound of a line.

bland. It's too mundane. Those habitations are so close together and often mentioned in the same breath.

You're wowed by theme, but there is no unique/insightful image here. It's just a thematic statement. one that I've heard a million times.

@SirBiatch is a clown.

-He's told the Coli that Missy Elliot is a better lyricist than Kendrick Lamar
-He's told the Coli that Asap Rocky and Lil B are the two best artists of this recent generation.
-He's told the Coli that only a real man would wife up a woman who spent years of her adult life taking nuts to the mouth and gangbanged on camera.
- He's told the Coli that there hasn't been a great artist in hip hop in over a decade.

And that's just some of the dumbass sh!t this f@ggot troll has projected on this board. There's MUCH more and the dude only been a member since like February. He already has a litany of troll threads where he boldly claims some outlandish sh!t as fact and goads people into pointless conversations with him.

He's a coward, an idiot, and clear troll. He gets his nut off by saying dumbass sh!t that garners attention. It's like some mad scientist decided to take one terrible aspect from each of the most prominent trolls on this site and put them together to form this weird amalgamation, monster troll. Like a fvcking troll Frankenstein.

act like you didn't imply that not liking kendrick means you don't understand the technical aspect of rapping when kendrick isn't some technical marvel. and the album isn't even the best album this year. don't hide your hands now.

kendrick isn't dope. :yeshrug:

I own all of Outkast albums and lyrically he isn't touching Andre or sir lucious left foot

these new artist are benefiting from a failing music industry. they have to market artists as genius's and super talented even though they aren't really that special

back in the day you had to earn these titles...the music industry doesn't have time for artists to develop like this, they need that $$$ yesterday so they're speeding up their careers and hype...and a lot of you sheep fall for it :mjlol:

They tell me it's a new gang in town
From Compton to Congress

Ain’t nothin' new but a flu of new DemoCrips and ReBloodlicans
Red state versus a blue state, which one you governin’?
They give us guns and drugs, call us thugs
Make it they promise to fukk with you
No condom, they fukk with you
Obama say, "What it do?"

Kendrick started out as a punchline rapper on his early mixtapes. He gradually evolved into making cohesive bodies of work. He know he got bars but he more about making music with substance.

Thread is a troll thread along with this his other 1000 threads on Kendrick. Booth is 100% trash tho. This isn't the place for serious discussion on music. The Coli gonna stay #NotTop10 with this shyt. Is what it is tho :manny:

I hate using art comparisons, but this nikka @SirBiatch wants to look at 2 sq inches of canvas to judge an entire painting.
When a song is made cohesively, pushing one or more central ideas or themes, one line isn't going to cover it. Look at Ignorance is Bliss, or HiiiPower or Keisha's Song. You can't contain the entire message into one line.
That would be degrading for the artist. What he wants is to prove a pointless point, "My favourite rappers are better than yours because they rapped when I was 13 and it changed my life forever to the point where I judge them based on nostalgia and the opinions of a circle-jerking group of equally nostalgic hip-hop heads around the same age as I."
This thread is stupid, just like his complaints about most music.
He said Big K.R.I.T. wasn't remarkable, that let me know he doesn't have a legitimate opinion on hip-hop in this day and age.

Dap & Pos Rep for this for this truth alone.

"Look inside the eyes of the last Mohicans survived
You won't last a weekend outside
Seen a pastor tweaking, then sunk his teeth in a rock his demise
Later on that evening you heard the grieving of angels that cried
See a demon don't compromise
And so I walk alone with a cross and a diamond stone
I'm a diamond inside the rough that's too mighty for maricons
I might as well put all my killers in YSL
Put my voice on this microphone, put you p*ssy nikkas through hell
Hell's fire, I never lie, you will never grind
I know the priors they running by us when we do crime
I know that section eight wanna discontinue my Moms
When they heard that Ohio State gave me 30 racks in July
Oh Lord, this can't be life, no it can't be life
When they day breaks and you earned them stripes
And you learned that strike
From upstate will adjourn that life and confirm that life
It's good bait for the warden that might get awarded and write
Now your fate can record it denied a reporter replied
The death rate will eventually climb, so eventually I'm
On a track race for the dough before time get a clock that resigns
So about face if it ain't business, I get offended, I mind
Now one fake, I'm a realist in strive, I'm a billion in five
Well a billion cause the limit is the sky and I live on cloud nine
And I recognize my nemesis gon' try to put a finish in my shine
But p*ssy, we'll hurt you
Life in the power circle"

Kendrick Lamar has a better flow Then Notorious BIG and Mase
:bryan:

Kendrick raps like he's reading paragraphs from a book.

Anyway, Kendrick is dope AF but let's be real here, 16 pages so far and no one has posted any Kendrick lines.

@SirBiatch is reaching when he says Kenny never said "anything impressive" but Kendrick isn't about those memorable lines.
