People would be calling this the greatest album of all time if kendrick made it, but that's a story for a different day

Kendrick is a house slave bytch. He knows too much and should be going deeper in his lyrics instead he chooses to dumb it down to fit the contemporary mainstream appeal. fukk him for that ol pseudo woke fake activist

All that vitriol is unnecessary, Kendrick is dope as hell.

He’s four albums in who knows where he’ll be by 7.

I didn't say he isn't dope. There's just this perception of him that even he tries to give off like he spits the type of shyt Lupe does but if you really listen to Kendrick he really doesn't say anything meaningful at all

21 different producers were part of Lupe Fiasco Drogas WAVE
Twenty-one different producers were involved in Lupe's album-making process, many of those production scores were joint efforts, and a good majority were self-produced. The talented Chicagoan is a noted switch hitter, having produced a good portion of his recent output, partly because he likes to work on his own time, and working alone gives him far more control over the end result.

Those Lupe produced tracks

 

[CHICAGO]

THIS FEELS LIKE A TRUE FOLLOW UP TO "THE COOL"

I WASNT SURE IF HE WOULD EVER HARNESS THAT ENERGY AGAIN.

"THE COOL" IS TOP 10 ANY GENRE FOR ME
AND THIS IS THE ALBUM IVE BEEN WAITING FOR.



​

 

[Silver Surfer]

I'm surprised by this album too not cause of his ability but because of his effort in the music. For a long period of time he hated making music because of the business side of things

 

[-InFeRnO-]

I'm giving out daps like it's candy outchea

Haven't even been able to formulate my thoughts on this album yet

Been listening to hip hop for 13 years and I don't remember ever enjoying a project on first listen like I did with this joint..

Has me remembering why I fell in love with this genre in the first place

shyt is a masterpiece brehs

 

[WhatsGoodTy]

Wav files is uncanny. Like,how does one mind come up with this?

 

[Professor K.]

So we know Jonylah Forever and Haile Selassie are 4-5 years old, but how old do yall think the rest of the album is?

within the last 3 years I think, for example murals Jr was created 3 years ago

 

[CHICAGO]

TIMBUCK2 WAS MY FAVORITE DJ.

THIS nikka WOULD BE IN THE CLUB PLAYING
PROJECT PAT'S CHEESE AND DOPE
IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS SETS.

DUDE ALWAYS PLAYED THAT REAL shyt
MIXED IN WITH THE CURRENT POPULAR MUSIC.

THEN SOME NIGHTS HE WOULDNT PLAY
ANY CURRENT POPULAR MUSIC
AND TALK shyt ON THE MIC
WHILE DOING IT.

I feel like this album will be the supreme clientele of this generation. An album that's completely different and unique from anything around it. It won't sell crazy records but in time it will be viewed as an iconic album among hip hop fans and artists alike. This shyt gonna truly impact the game going forward just like supreme did. The word of mouth is gaining steam and it's already being called a masterpiece all over social media. The real heads know. It's only a matter of time before the rest of the world has to take notice. Keep talking about it. Spread the word.
