They're trying to make Kendrick Pac, and it's not working

[Kokoro]

Im a Kendrick fan and I agree, he is not and will never be Tupac. Period

There will never be another Tupac. End of Discussion

Plenty of nikkas have been inspired. Pac was inspired. Kdot desperately wants to be viewed as the new pac but doesnt have the talent or heart to pull it off. His team is pullin out all the stops.
They gave him the perfect script,director and press&promo and he still cant nail the part and drive it home.Cause he's wack

How is he trying to be Pac, when they don't even make the same type of Music???
They dont even sound the same.
Kendrick is more in the vein of 3stacks mix with Nas.
Pac was never as artsy as Kendrick is...
Kendrick aint out here shirtless on stage in a bandana . Pac wasn't out here performing with a band having choreographed performances.
Kendrick is inspired by Pac because Pac was great.

And if u talking talent, Kendrick is lyrically better than Pac.
Comparing Kenny to Pac, is like comparing Curry to Jordan

If Pac was alive, he'd be proud of Kendrick.

Why does everybody keep bringing up the white media like we don't get to hear shyt on our own time and terms?

Miss the GKMC Kendrick sound. The new one isn't my taste, but critics love it so much.

I like some of Kendrick music but he seems contrived deep like Jay Electronica. And you are right, Pac's lyrics touched you. Probably had more to do with his upbringing in a revolutionary family. Of all my favorite Pac lyrics, his feature on Scarface's Smile, smile are the most memorable. The words still ring true 20 years later. Was a young genius.

 

[Man On Fire]

He just doesn't have the music/thoughts to back it up

The thing about Pac was he could HIT your heart. Kendrick just can't do it. Pac had universal appeal, he could make a song that was catchy, that you could dance to, but would make you think, and make you feel something. Pac went for your emotions, and he always got it because he was gifted. Kendrick thinks the way to our emotions is our brain, he's too cerebral, trying to sound intellectual (where Pac WAS actually intellectual) and have "Deep" meanings to everything. The new album is basically TPAB throwaways. The whole jazz kick is feeling way too calculated, acting like because you have a fukking saxophone playing random bullshyt in the background your message is gonna hit, that we're gonna think of you as some revolutionary. The critics with constant dikk riding. The most soulful moment on this new album was when Cee Lo starts to sing (on a song that sounds like 50s supermarket muzak). And let's not forget the Adidas commercial He's looking real funny in the light

Yet another crybaby thread.

The same white people that told me the Makaveli album was garbage

The problem is that with Kendrick it seems forced. People don't feel like he even believes half the stuff that comes out of his own mouth.
Just like with Pac, his thug persona felt forced like something he just had to do, but his beliefs and dedication towards black people always felt genuine.
I don't care what anybody says, Kendrick's pseudo intellect is not that good.
Just like Hov said,

"Cause the nikka wear a coofie, it don't mean that he bright
Cause you don't understand him, it don't mean that he nice
It just means you don't understand all the bullshyt that he write..."

Kendrick proved that when he just goes in and focuses on making good music, nobody can touch him. He's trying to be too deep.

 

[Stone]

Maaaaannn y'all are trying way too hard, either fukk with it or don't Jesus christ

 

[BarackStar]

Won't be another pac let it go

I like his music but Kendrick Lamar is the epitome of the college dorm room rapper.

I remember pac and was a big fan of his when he was alive. Kendrick is just someone for the 90s baby generation he doesnt have that universal appeal.

His fans can be pretentious though. They use his brand of rap to bash other rappers.

In 1993, Tupac shot two off-duty police officers.

The incident happened as two brothers, Mark and Scott Whitwell, were almost hit by two cars as they crossed a street with their wives. A police spokesman said that an argument followed, during which one of the brothers pointed a gun at the people in the two cars.


A witness said Shakur fired at the brothers. Three 9mm casings were found at the scene. The upshot is that both brothers are in satisfactory condition at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta with wounds of the stomach and buttocks.

Per a 1997 New Yorker article, “The charges were dropped when it emerged that the policemen had been drinking and had initiated the incident, and when the prosecution’s own witness testified that the gun one of the officers threatened Tupac with had been seized in a drug bust and then stolen from an evidence locker.”


Yeah and is Pac acting like he's the savior of humanity? I figured someone would try to say B-B-BUT PAC DID COMMERCIALS TOO!



Anything like this?

Buying shoes, REVOLUTIONARY SHYT!!

Remember at the end of the 1995 Source Awards when Pac was on stage and yelled "fukk America" and "fukk White People?" Could you imagine any rapper saying that now?

Greater than Kendrick's whole discography

just that song too.

i peeped that too, he doesn't have the charisma or the sound or the fire inside that 2pac had, i guess he's the white blogger type dudes' version of 2pac, which is disgusting.

Yep...
a post racial 2pac of the Obama era.
