Trying to give this Anderson .Paak dude a fair shot

[CHERUB]

Yea i said the same about his voice. Im good on him. I know theres a hype train but he aint for me

 

[HipHopFeeling]

lol @ people saying 'don't fall for the hype' and 'hypetrain'. Like it or not, Paak might become one of the greatest artists of this generation. Dude been rocking big festivals (also Jazz/Blues etc) for years, even my mother and grandmother listen to him. He's not some one hit wonder type guy and he doesnt need the rap game either tbh

 

[HipHopFeeling]

I heard him first on DFD's songs btw

 

[reserved_one]

I was skeptical on Paak at first..but one nite when I was alone drunk and high off weed thinking about my ex broad in my feelings, I just started playing some of his music off youtube. Once you know I was jamming to all his shyt for the next 2 hours lol. It helped get over what I was going through. I like how he's on the HOH tip without completely degrading women. The potential is all there. Paak knows how to make good songs. His voice however is the biggest issue and the Kendrick comparisons will come but I've gotten used to it. He"s more of a crooner than an actual singer.

Cant fukk with his music like that. I want to becuase i need good music in my life but he aint cuttin it.

Plus, i really cant fukk with a nikka who got a hoop ring on his nose. very faggy shyt right there.

Didn't 2Pac have a nose ring?

Ain't a fan of pac like that anyway. He was a much better artist than this queer though.

 

[Piff Perkins]

Not every singer gotta be Marvin Gaye. Nothing wrong with being James Brown or Mick Jagger. Paak can sing but usually he just does this Brown type croon/riff that is just...soulful. And he's clearly a good songwriter given how dope the melodies are throughout the album.

Malibu is still my AOTY.

Dude's trash. People keep trying to make him happen but I'm not seeing it.

I expect all these off brand weirdo R&B nikkas that showed up in Frank's wake to disappear when Frank comes back

 

[duncanthetall]

Paak is dope. Come Down is one of my all time favorite songs

Lol @ this. Frank never owned any lane and ain't shutting no one down. Both the weekend and Miguel have had better careers while having dropped around the same time.

 

[Monoblock]

I like his raspy voice. My shyt.

I never said Miguel or The Weeknd. I'm a huge Miguel fan, and The Weeknd went full pop but he's alright in my book. Add Gallant to this list. And Frank's No. 1.

Rest of these dudes though

Frank's is internally an afterthought outside of the online coalition (and nikkas like Kanye and jay) that worships him

Who else would you say are the greatest artists of this generation?

 

[Ribbs]

There's a lot of great artists who have unorthodox voices. I never had an issue with his voice, it's better to be different than to sound like everybody else.
