Remember. Just cause you don't understand him, don't mean that he nice.
my problem is not that you're criticizing his album but why do you keep making assumptions tho?

If you felt like I was talking directly to you, then you can disregard that comment, however in light of all the overt commentary praising his lyrics...I just don't see it.my problem is not that you're criticizing his album but why do you keep making assumptions tho?Remember. Just cause you don't understand him, don't mean that he nice.
Yo don't like Kendrick so I (Being the wonderfully generous young man I am) led you to a thread of an artist you like.Chill out whodie, it's always gotta be some "reaching the uninformed masses" stuff with you.Here Putty, I went through the trouble of finding this for youIf thats the best song on here in many of your opinions...I'm just not seeing that lyricism people say he has.
I guess its a feeling or an appearance he gives off.
I respect his following though.
***** dont kill my vibe
where from my post did i say this is his best song? you dont like his work. we get it. why are you still here?
please stay out of sYou are UBER annoying. How many times you gonna keep saying the same thing?
I didn't know this was a Kendrick Lamar circle jerk.
Ya'll can't take any criticism I see.

Now please
What does Cyhi have to do with any of this? I'm not out here trying to evangelize one way or the other.
Mind you all, I said "I respect his following"
Dudes are posting multiple times that they LOVE the album...and I'm doing what? I didn't say I hated it. I just didn't see what the hype was about.
Meanwhile I've listened to every KL mixtape and I've listened to the album twice...and I'm just not feeling it. I don't get it.
You all are REALLY bad at taking any sort of opinion from people who veer form the path. Thats partly why I think this dude is so overhyped.
You build up this mystique around him and I don't think he delivered. I think he represents a style of what you WANT "hip-hop" to sound like, instead of what it actually does. Just accept it as plainly as possible and see what it does. Its like this outright movement towards J Cole. The kid is boring to me...and dare I say overrated. He has a few memorable lines here and there but I just find him to be more of someone who wants to be something instead of just being himself. It comes off as corny and other times contrived.
To me he comes off as a string of nostalgia that people want to identify with so they can show that they're "real hip-hop" fans and so they give it this extra credibility to reinforce its appeal as opposed to letting the music speak for itself. Its like the purists who associate the perceived "age" of a song based on how the production is handled to therefore being indicative of quality. Hardcore KL fans give me that vibe of post-90s addicts who aren't really that diverse in their conception of music, but cling to things that tightly proclaim themselves as "intelligent" or "good music" without them ever really earning that title. Its the pursuit of trying to be deeper than you really are and thinking that KL will give you that additional legitimacy.
I give the album a 7/10. I just can't listen to it like that. Its kinda boring to me and his lyrics aren't really that deep. I don't think I ever rewinded anything or felt like I was missing something. He can put words together...but its nothing I haven't heard before. In terms of rapping, being "technical" is the last thing on the list to me if what you're actually saying is weak anyways. Rapping faster or with a weird inflection or in certain patterns doesn't really mean as much as what you fill those spaces with. Its not even his subject matter, its that hes not even really making it seem like its authentic. It seems more of a facade to a certain niche of "purists" than actually just being yourself.
Remember. Just cause you don't understand him, don't mean that he nice.
Those are just my thoughts though.
You all can get back to circle-jerking. Theres a reason I might not have been a big fan in the years leading up to this.
The Roots album is stronger than this as a concept piece IMO.
GET TA STEPPIN !
What are you even talking about?
I said my piece, and you're over here searching for threads of unrelated artists to ATTEMPT to make a point.
You're just reinforcing the notion that KL fans really can't handle any criticism.
I said mine. You say yours. Dead it if its REALLY not important to you. You DO have that option.
Silly, Drake just dropped Marvins Room pt. 30. Go check it out.
This shoulda been on the album.
See I can respect what you said.Heart Pt. 3
Im sorry this guy is just the best out to me. MD none of his stuff sounds like 90s music like at all and you would be hard pressed to name a rapper that he reminds us of making us feel good about ourselves for liking deep stuff or whatever. Nothing about his music is fake his album is a true story about him being a good kid in a war zone basically. Its straight real human being music which is why people like it. Not because they feel they have to.
There is a picture being painted with this album its not a bunch of random rap songs put together. Theres a story many people can relate to being told. Dont criticize us because YOU dont get it. You not liking it is perfect for me. Im happy youre not trying to fit in and like something you really dont. I respect that. I just feel like the reasons you gave for not liking it werent accurate but to each his own.
Gatzby who cares if a rapper is "Lame" as long as they are themselves and make good music. Every rapper cant be a gangster *****. Drake is dope, he makes dope music. Yal gotta get over the whole expecting people to be what you want them to be.
Contrasting opinion = Troll these days.
Gotcha.
