Now that the hype is completely gone, can we admit Kendrick Lamar doesn't have a classic verse

Nah, he was on a few features right after Jay Rock started getting national airplay. The Game was carrying him for a minute, let's not change history, if you were really in LA at the time you knew who "K-Dot" was. I was there the summer of 10 right before my freshmen year, had a block party on N Wilmington, and someone was blasting some of his shyt out of their car.


I knew of him from blogs. Didn't hear his music actually played until Swimming Pools blew. That isn't to say he wasn't played at all but Rick Ross was what most knuckleheads I knew were listening to at that time.

Further highlighting how lame you are.

Ole "he seems beneath me so he's dumb and I'm better than him" bytchmade boy :mjlol: :umad:

At the end of the day, theres more raw truth, emotion, honesty, and sincerity in The Migos, Gucci, Future, and countless other artists than Kendrick will ever have with his hifalutin "project-window" raps.

So stop it. You're just reinforcing the notion that this nikka aint that nice at the end of the day.

I can look at a dude like Big Sean, rapping about his life, being fly, and still dropping more educated gems than Kendrick but getting disregarded because he's not doing it on ATCQ production and doesn't have all of the industry pretending to be wow'd at the fact he's remotely "pro-black" (which is a marketing gimmick at the end of the day)

Ye it's kinda lame but I enjoy the fukk outta doing it every now and then :blessed:

I listen to all those artists you mentioned but unlike you I don't compare and try to pick holes in shyt, I just enjoy what the artist created instead of looking at it with some sort of forced rhetoric I came up with :dame:

::Listens to a handful of young current rappers: hears Keef influence all over.. Heard no Kendrick influence::


:bryan:


Y'all shytting on me for that Keef comment are in denial so much. You're out of tune with the young gen and clearly hip hop as a whole. Sounding like a bunch of ignorant white people in the 00s who were shytting on Wayne cause he wasn't and his music was "respectable" enough in their eyes, while propping up back pack rappers

:bryan:

Claim I'm sounding like a complex cac with my opinions while actually sounding exactly like the cac back pack rap fans from the 00s

The irony & cognitive dissonance :mjlol:
Real talk...Kendrick is the safe rapper of the moment. :heh:

I mean hell, even Drake has more edge than Kendrick right now :pachaha:

White dudes love kendrick cause they want to pretend to "break down" his lyrics (which are more simple than lego bricks :mjlol:) and claim to know "real hip hop" because it doesn't have that element of rejection of the mainstream and outsider perspective that whites can't identify with.

Its pretend poetry for the uninitiated to pretend to be associated with. Its the shyt your white boss at work can claim when he says he "loves rap...kendrick, he's nice :troll:"

At what you've become since I took a hiatus from this forum and came back :mjcry:

You were a dope poster. The fukk happened to you?

I'm
Objective. You and the posters disagreeing with me about keefs influence & impact aren't.

Idc if a artist is "objectively" bad. Or not dope lyrically etc. I look around, hear & see the influence & admit it, unlike most people who let their person opinions blind them from the truth

I don't like young thug, but thats not gonna stop me from saying he has had influence

Bruh, how old are you? :dahell: And how tight are your backpack straps? :what:

You LITERALLY just said the comment in bold.

You've spent this whole thread talking about one's intellectual capacity for preferring "hardcore" artists over someone like Kendrick then trying to assign some function of mental fortitude to that.

its the essence of elitism and its precisely why most of you all are ultimately insecure. You're projecting that you claim to have "good taste in music" when in reality, you're trying to signal to others you know more than you do.

Again. No one I know, and we're talking really successful people here, pretends to engage that fake deep shyt...because we're smarter than 99% of rappers out there, so we can enjoy the bullshyt as much as we can bullshyt movies, TV, and other forms of media.

Those who are really educated? They're out here enjoying life, not pretending to engage in what industry determines as "high culture"

Breh you talking out your ass now :what:

You say Kendrick is safer than Drake :what:

You said in an earlier post that TPAB had no originality
:what:

And the fact you said Big Sean drops more educated gems
:what:

Facts. It's pretty funny how I'm the one sounding like a complex cac but those same complex cacs in 00s would've shytted on Keef to prop up "intellectual" & "conscious rappers" like Kendrick:mjlol: like they did with Wayne & immortal technique

I'm pretty sure the posters calling me that are white & trying to overcompensate

:bryan:

who gives a fukk if these no talent here today gone tomorrow dumb dumb rappers are tryna sound like chief keef. it's an easy recipe to duplicate, like fast food disposable candy. kendrick's music has more depth on every level. musically, lyrically, conceptually, structurally.

these rappers just wanna get a song on the radio and get paid. they don't have the power or the vision to do something as creative or distinct.
