Pride.

I think Kanye quoteables have dwindled over the years because Rhymefest stopped writing his lyrics.

Cyhi aka im a chip munk like Aaaalvin Prince can only do so much to make this nikka sound lyrical these days.

I don't think kendrick is good at creating ironic catchphrases, using puns, and similes.

But I like his music because he creates a visual and can encapsulate his concepts into songs with words.

If the song is about this it sounds like it's about this and often it's powerful.

Unlike Ross on Accident Murderer

@Ziggiy know about that Ross song

Lupe >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Lupe is not in the same lane as Gates at all, he's pretty much the undisputed king of "reflective rap" lol. Lupe is high concept to a fault.

From a lyricism standpoint, I'd completely understand why you'd feel Lupe shyts on Gates. You ain't gon tell me that Lupe's introspective music is fukking with Gates's introspective music at all though in terms of raw emotion, delivery, clarity and detail. Kevin Gates can take you into his world in a way that Lupe simply can't.

Honestly. After this.

I'm not entertaining any negative Kendrick talk. In real life or otherwise

Music is too good

Already top 5 DOA.

It's not even worth arguing anymore

Lust






















fukk is this shyt going be to love below 2017






DNA









DAMN.

 

[Still FloW]

Kendrick inspired by FEWTCH VANDROSS, dropping 2 BLASSICs in a row

Hendrix so revolutionary with the influence

 

[JDH]

So whats the verdict? About to start listening

And pop songwriting. How many rappers are making a storytelling track like Tiger then making a pop song like 2 phones then an emotional ode like Ask for me. shyt is insane.

Anyways this is a Kendrick thread. Liked the production, like hearing Kendrick muse over his self-doubts, and its actually enjoyable to listen to instead of a musical exercise....like new Lupe. Still undercooked a lot of his thoughts and there is a lot of hotep rap in here but a solid entry into his catalogue.

"Is this a fukking joke?"


And don't come at me with that passive aggressive shyt on some

I had enough for tonight

 

[MostHatedBox]

Duckworth! This album is going to grow on alot of people that are usually not feeling Kdots music. Even got Drake stans in here giving positive reviews

 

[Recca Gatsby]

Kevin Gates "pride" > Kendrick Lamar "pride"

You dun derailed the fukk out this thread wit your nonsense

 

[onelastdeath]

So whats the verdict? About to start listening

Verdict is that he's an animal that can't be stopped

And outside of some ghostwriting fukkery coming out he's more likely than not going to retire the goat

 

[Mowgli]

Ahhh when kendrick slow down the rapping he uses alot of great writing devices.

That fear
