:mindblown:

Swear to God I feel like I've entered the fukking Twilight Zone on here ever since TPAB dropped. :snoop:

Shyt's "Invasion of the Coli Snatchers". :pachaha:

You think Chopper ain't poppy cuz it was demolished lyrically, so your mind makes that assumption based on your thinking that such lyricism isn't found on poppy tracks.

Just imagine those exact verses on some other popish beat and you would probably say that ain't pop either, just because LYRICALLY it doesn't sound like pop song. It is pop production, but verses don't make it seem so. Listen to beat solely.

Synths do not make a song poppy.

Sounds like it too...

That's not a good thing and I like the album

Mural- A very large image, such as a painting or enlarged photograph, applied directly to a wall or ceiling.

Thats the whole point of mural though, smh. Yall just prefer kendrick because his "concious" rap is a more dumb downed version of lupes. Im just waiting for someone to be real about it and admit it.

I don't think anything on that album is dark at all. To me dark is something like Hell on Earth,
I'ma need you to tone it down a bit breh....an album like that is hard to replicate

He just talking out the sides of his neck, nikka dont know shyt about instruments or genres of music lol.

Since when is little death (clearly a blues/soul song) poppy? Deliver? Adoration of the magi? Body of work with clearly an r & b sax solo? Madonna? Ill give him blur my hands and maybe no scratches tho.

nikkas mad at Lu because his music catalogue is more diverse and hes open minded musically. nikka been incorporating diff styles of music since the start. (The instrumental)?

nikkas in here saying T&Y is dark :mjlol:
Problem is that you don't know how to describe production. They be using words like 'dark' for T&Y :snoop:


nikka you ain't ever heard a dark album prolly :heh:

When you are able to separate beat from lyrics, you will understand what I'm talking about. You don't understand production:ld:

Thing is everyone is arguing with you based on your definition of what pop is.....if you believe it's pop nothing anyone says will convince you any different.

It doesn't make it true though......

I never said a song or album is pop, just production. Lupe spitting his ass of, but not over the beats I want him to.

Problem is stans don't use logic, they just wanna up their artists, their vision is blurred.

It's pop production by your standards...... does that mean anytime Lupe spits on something you don't like it's pop production ?


Problem is you think your taste/standard is universal and anything else is invalid

Negro you mistake live instrumentation as "popish"

Some of y'all really don't think outside the box when it comes to rap music. Closed minded tragedies.

You haven't even explained why it was "popish". Just kept repeating "it's popish!" for the last two pages homie.

Lupe>> Kendrick.
