Albums Kendrick Lamar - DAMN. (Discussion Thread)

[Lootpack]

It wasnt cryptic he said that before the album was offically out. He was referring to the leak trying to convince people it was not real

A random picture of Morpheus tagged along with the release date of the album isn't cryptic?

Roger that.

Blasphemous how? Do you got a counterargument to any of this?

That whole statement is filled with smart dumb rap logic, Im on my phone and I don't have the patience to type out the shyt, but Gates more polished than Kendrick? Buggin and I'm a Gates fan, it's clear how much more polished Kendrick is if you listen to a track

If we're talking dope concept albums, I think Jay's "TPAB" is "American Gangster" and I personally
feel he has music right up there with Kendrick but then again, he's been at it longer and is already
solidified as a Legend.

fukk all that pretentious musical prodigy games these nikkas playing, Jay is >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> as a rapper.

fukk the "music"...you nikkas just trying to enforce music industry standards on some shyt that doesn't need help, let the shyt speak for itself before you go ranting about how "amazing" it is even if you only liked 2 songs.

Man i wish the whole album was like humble

Bro people are laughing at Gate's raps NOW

sees a poster whose location is Sydney, Australia try to give a rap opinion

Man i wish the whole album was like humble

Im glad it wasn't, humble was the weakest track to me

Kendrick's control of his voice tonality is garbage compared to Gates period. Polish is not purely about lyrics, it's about the entire package as a rapper. His hook game is MUCH better than Kendrick Lamar which should be obvious when you look at the singles. Gates is able to alliterate his rhyme schemes better than Kendrick despite that Kendrick sometimes has more complex schemes.

No smart dumb logic at all, if you care about the craft of rapping Gates has Kendrick beat in a number of areas. Kendrick has Gates beat in his ability to create songs that are outside of the box (example: Cartoons & Cereal).

I can almost guarantee you're an idiot
That line makes sense in the context of the story (which you probably didnt get) and isnt nearly as ridiculous as Kendrick talking bout "let me put the head in"

Talk about lyrics and why they make sense in context then use "Let me put the head in" as
something which doesn't fit within the context of a song about LUST of all things brehs

Mind you those lyrics are preceded by :
"Heartbeat racing like a junkies, I just need you to want me
Am I asking to much ? Let me put the head in...."

He's asking to hit and is overcome with lustful feelings for whoever
the song is directed at. IF you can't discuss Hip-Hop on this basic level
while trying to position yourself as a "Serious Intellect" on matters of rapping
then how can you genuinely get upset if people think you're just trolling ?

Lol.

Poitier, you're a cool dude but this post wasn't a good one breh.

That song grew on me and all the other radio friendly songs are actually dope but a whole album??? fukk no.

 

[Poitier]

imagine listening to Element and thinking any of what Kendrick is rapping is believable

Look at how winded of an explanation you had to give then look at the very simple explanation I gave for Gates...you dont realize how that makes it more ridiculous?

 

[Poitier]

Like is Kendrick suppose to be angry and hopeless on Feel? Is that what Im suppose to feel outside of him saying it?

 

[GreenGhxst]

That song grew on me and all the other radio friendly songs are actually dope but a whole album??? fukk no.

Out of all the songs on the album that one got a skip, it ain't bad but it's the weakest imo
