This'll be his most popular album so far and probably the one I come back to the most.

I watched the entire video. Just a couple things.

First of all what is it with these type of white guys on these formats on radio going extra hard with the cussing 24/7 in every sentence? Those Andrew Shultz type of white guys. "I'm so cool and down i can curse when discussing these things"/ And they always with someone Black like the guy in the video or with Charlamagne. Its like they think they getting cool points just cussing up a storm. Like those cacs that when you walk past them on the street and they working outside a car shop or construction every other word gotta be a cuss word. Always thought there was some insecurity there with trying to intimidate people by cursing lol.

But anyway with the whole Kendrick debate my only thing is that people are entitled to their opinion but im sick and tired of people not arguing rationally and coping out with that overrated argument every second. Nowadays people cannot disagree with something without calling it overrated. Because everyone talks about kendrick he is overrated. 8 years ago they would have called him underrated and the next big thing. you can go through 300 rappers throughout history and find something on the internet about them being overrated. nikkas are too lazy nowadays and cannot make proper arguments.

they just get mad and say someone is overrated. and often in cases like this with kendrick they only say they hate him cause of what other people say in praise of him. that is straight female shyt. make your own decision based on your own thoughts on the music. not cause your mad people talk about kendrick but don't bring up ghostface or jadakiss or whoever. that is what one person in the video bringing up ghost and jadakiss. and ghostface is one artist that people truly pretend they like and half of us dont even know what he is saying and could never quote lines from him.

Lol, Take Care being a classic is not blasphemous at all only Kendrick album that resonated near that level is good kid maad city. Kendrick got introduced to the mainstream through that album. Stop being a sheep nikka.

Only :flabbynsick: and corny elitist hate on Take Care. It is a memorable, seminal release for its era that is still selling.
Stop :mjlol:

Take care is :trash:

Nikka you around my age, from the same city, and you basically admitting to it with this post that Take Care is a classic. Music is about the moments. I'm not going to sit down and pretend the only classics coming out are the albums Kendrick is dropping because of high reviews lol, that's bullshyt.

YG don't got no albums better than Take Care :mjlol:, what is this based off reviews? My Krazy Life has an 80 based off 16 reviews, Take Care has a 78 based off 34 reviews. The scope is nowhere near the same. More Life right now has an 82 based off 24 reviews, more than any YG or Future album. My Krazy Life is a pretty good modern West Coast release but its clearly not better than Take Care. The best songs on Take Care are bigger and better than anything on My Krazy Life. C'mon son.

Stillmatic is a classic album to a WHOLE lot of people. Stillmatic Intro, 2nd Childhood, You're da Man, Destroy & Rebuild, 2nd Childhood, Rewind, One Mic, The Flyest. That's most of the album, everybody remembers this coming out the ETHER on Jay, this is a time in hip-hop history captured by this album.

Yeah, 5 years I don't hear shyt from To Pimp A Butterfly or untitled unmastered albums critics slobbed just what a year and a half later? Why? Because them albums did not resonate with the people. Which is why Kendrick has one classic good kid, M.a.a.d. City because people loved songs like Money Trees, Poetic Justice, BDKMV, etc. These songs got serious play in streets, moments were created to these songs.

The only songs on Take Care I consider filler are Make Me Proud and We'll Be Fine, the album is like 20 tracks that's a great batting average. An album that defines its time period is a classic.
You know what I love about your kind? :mjpls:

Somehow, someway, in some weird alternate universe you live in.

A funk and jazz inspired political concept album in TPAB, a concept album about growing up as a black youth in Compton, and a Hip Hop album with aggressive rap that's damn near hosted by Kid Capri that has rhymes about black people being Israelites is somehow for White media

But Drake's shallow pop rap is somehow, someway for the hood and blacks :dead: I guess all the dudes on KTT are definitely, undoubtedly nikkas too huh :heh:

My Krazy Life is definitely better than Take Care. Not even up for debate. The story he painted of growing up where he did, combined with the dialogue and over all theme of that album is alone more creative than anything on take care.But once again, you think that Take Care is better than American Gangster so you're hard to really converse with when it comes to music :dead:

all this shyt about people resonating with something in real time and no mention of how the "we gone be alright" chant was used during the trump protests just a few months ago :dead: , people by the thousands flooding the streets chanting that across the country. or that don't count? It Don't get anymore "real time" than that :deadrose:

Just say you like pop-rap and keep it pushin bro. It's cool.
