The way they used bono genius. The song starts out with how kendrick really feel about a given situation and then he get off the phone for an Industry speaking engagement and spreads a good introspective message with a pop artist.

Both of which reflecting how he really feels.

That's a very good analogy. There was nothing really new about Drive's story. But it had a Feeling, a Mood, and a Look that was undeniable. And its execution:banderas: Just how I feel about this album.

Props.

I forgot who it said it.... I think John Updike.... but the point was don't critique a book you think someone should have written. Critique the one they did write. I feel a lot of the bytching in this thread is people criticizing an album they think kendrick should have made.

Yeah, I really wanted a ton of rewind energy tracks like everyone is asking for and was pretty let down at first, but when i step back and look at the album, i see a Drive/There's A Riot Goin On, etc type feeling, execution, mood. Call it watered down if you want. i dont care. But for me, this album, you dont rewind the tracks bc you rewind the album.

Cuz I feel like if some nikka like Tyler The Creator did the exact same song it'd find itself in the wack weirdo rap try-hard section. :jbhmm:

The same few people keep coming in here getting mad at others because they like the album :mjlol:

Kendrick got nikkas mad as fukk :russ:
Exactly & I don't understand it. If people don't like it, that's fine, but why keep checking the thread? Ol' misery loves company ass nikkas. :camby:

nikkas love trying to seem "different" by going against the grain on every fukking thing & it's annoying as shyt.
