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

[lucky lefty]

Unless nikkaz was given crack pipes & 8 balls at birth instead of pacifiers & formula ain't no way someone could be so devoid of brain activity they believe any of those excruciatingly awful exercises in lyrical Larry Holmesness known as Kooondrick Sambomar 16's are even remotely in the same realm as decent much less classic

Queen Kenbytch Lamaze aka Kenbrick Flopmar aka coAndre -3000 aka Diet Nas Lost Lite Zero wouldn't know a classic verse if it raped his ugly thot momma, with his c00n ass weirdo voice, basic ass fake militant bars, & Ambien sponsored flow

Only reason that wack ass nikka even knows wtf a classic verse sounds like is cuz the GOAT Hov dropped a GOATly 16 on BDKMV and eviscerated him so badly he ran to write another struggle 16 to save the whatever scraps of his soul were left after the GOAT Hov snatched it & he failed miserably

His feature verses are weak for an emcee as highly regarded as he is.

For all that hype Control had you'd think nikkas would be able to quote you some memorable bars but when you actually try to pick out something impressive it's just

For all the hype Control had, it didn't change shyt in the landscape of hiphop neither

"He actually calling out names!"

"The 'everybody's friendly' era is over brehs"

"This washed up NY mixtape rapper just said he about to go hard in the studio now!"



after all that

Jay had quoteables before that! act like everyone didn't know Hard Knock Life like word for word.

The point is.. They made rememberable music enough music to stick with people that made people listen and force themselves to remember regardless of how lyrical it was. IE: Nas & BIG
Kendrick has how many releases? It's not like he has only a mixtape and one album

You know I fux with you are a poster and all that but honestly, have you gone through his entire catalog more than once to know his music well enough to where some phrases would be quotable among his fans? I know its not your type of music. Not talking shyt, just saying...

Maybe people from NYC were into it like that but non-NYCers the only thing quoted from Hard Knock Life, before it was used in Austin powers was the hook from the movie that was popular before he sampled it. And now what's the most popular line? One of him shouting out Biggie and it's a quotable because the guy is dead, not because it's clever.

If you want to talk about quotables on that level of Hard Knock Life 'bytch dont kill my vibe' is the same. That's not a quotable??

Yes they made memorable music to stick with people, that's why now they are GOATs. However judging someone by not having quotables early in their career (which he does have but let's just stay on topic here) when it's not over for a while, is premature.

Facts. That verse is the most overrated unrememberable overhyped shyt ever

 

[B-Mint94]

I really liked his second verse on Momma

 

[SunGod]

This question was asked all the time a while back. The answer was usually "he doesn't really have quotable lines" followed by "the entire body of work is the quotable".

I woke up this morning and figured I'd call you
In case I'm not here tomorrow
I'm hoping that I can borrow a piece of mind
I'm behind on what's really important
My mind is really distorted
I find nothing but trouble in my life
I'm fortunate you believe in a dream
This orphanage we call a ghetto is quite a routine
And last night was just another distraction
Or a reaction of what we consider madness
I know exactly what happened
You ran outside when you heard my brother cry for help
Held him like a newborn baby and made him feel
Like everything was alright
And a fight he tried to put up, but the type
Of bullet that stuck had went against his will
As blood spilled on your hands
My plans rather vindictive
Everybody's a victim in my eyes
When I ride it's a murderous rhythm
And outside became pitch black
A demon glued to my back whispering, "Get em"
I got em, and I ain't give a fukk
That same mentality I told my brother not to duck
In actuality it's a trip how we trip off of colors
I wonder if I'll ever discover
A passion like you and recover
The life that I knew as a young'n
In pajamas and Dun-ta-duns
When thunder comes it rains cats and dogs
Dumb nikkas like me never prosper
Prognosis of a problem child
I'm proud and well devoted
This piru shyt been in me forever
So forever I'm a push it, wherever whenever
And I love you cause you love my brother like you did
Just promise me you'll tell this story when you make it big
And if I die before your album drop I hope

na u wrong the 4.0/4.6 was a quotable

"A gun in your face and that's all u can come up wit"

That's high school making me chase u round for month, have a affair act like an adult for once"

Not to mention a bunch of others. Kendrick just doesn't have the ear of the people like that to have everybody knowing a verse from him atm. Most of his biggest fans I know shyts on tpbf to this day. It really doesn't have replay value

A page has passed and no answer. Define what a classic verse is and give some examples of recent classic verses from the last decade plus.

Also can you name any rappers you consider good or great who do not have classic verses.

 

[Pifferry]

Why are people so desperate to deny Kendrick?

 

[Steezy]

Not a better rapper under 30 doing it like k.dot been a stan since 2010

 

[B-Mint94]

Why are people so desperate to deny Kendrick?

When you've been hyped up and labeled a messiah like Kendrick has you're bound to generate people who will hate you.

fukk Kendrick voice, that's the homie tho

Listen to my new shyt, way iller.
