honestly, everything.

i liked her when she first debuted with her eps
but over the years idk she bothers me.

only time i like is when she collab with zay
i LOVE her collabs with zay they never miss.

and then i lowkey dont like her image.
fair enough, man

would you care to link me to the stuff that you do like?

i havent delved super deep into her work, but if you think she was better in a certain time period id love to hear that

S & Z ep’s

havent listened to them in damn near a decade

but i remember them being very chill & laidback

which was the type of music i was heavily into at the time

I like them both.

I could never hate her because teen girls like her music now.

I’m also a Kendrick … damn near Stan

But … chief …

The version with only Kendrick …

This is not it …

Sza is terrible. Every song is better without her. From Rich Baby Daddy to Telekinesis. It really annoys me how much she ruined Telekinesis. That wouldve been a classic with just Future

You'd rather hear the smurf sing over Sza?

:pachaha: :pachaha: :pachaha:
neither one of them can sing. The studio makes Sza sounds better than she is. Her vocals are processed and reverbed to the max to the point she sounds like she's under water. She makes dope music though, she just can't sing worth shyt.

nah kendrick's singing sounds awful on here :laff:


The first quality takes recording is usually the best take of any record.
Some artist can redo the performance. Yet once the initial vibe of th3 record is laid in the best takes. You not gonna atypically recreate a better recording.
It is going to always sound overproduced for rap off top.
.plus is easily discernable to older listeners and outputting.
Now most people are noob ears and listeners. Who basically are Sharon apple fans. You can easily fool them.

Blame yourselves for liking wack shyt.
You were told not to.

You can also clearly tell he wasn't even trying as he knew it wasn't the final song. Kendrick can have outstanding singing though (Untitled 6 for example where he had everyone wondering who the hell was this great singer singing along Ceelo...well it was him lol). Here, it was just a demo.
Ill have to go back and listen

You think he had vocal lessons?

Nah as a Kendrick fan his vocal performance was weak, largely in part because it was a demo. SZA crushed the shyt and took it where it needed to be.

Now if we are talking about 16 then you may be on to something.

Kendrick's version>>>Keem.

Neggable opinion. She took it from a rap song to a timeless cinematic experience.
