[abematic]

ROFL. That's what I said.

Of course, he think FYEO was dope.
And Ima day one fan of Cole, album was straight fugazi dissapointment

 

[cragmatic]

Have yall checked out Dissect podcast? Dude did a song by song break down of TPAB.

I had no idea "These Walls" was related to the events in "Sing About Me"

That podcast deepened my appreciation for Kendrick and the 3 (commercial) albums he's put out.

3 commercial albums huh? Smh

 

[SoleByThePound]

but he has multiple near classics no?

"Ain't nobody touch that dude," Lil Wayne said, referring to Kendrick Lamar in 2014.
[h2]Eminem[/h2]
"There’s a certain hunger that you can sense about Kendrick. He raps to be the best rapper in the world. He competitive-raps. That’s one of the things that’s going to drive his career. He’s going to be around for a long time," Eminem said in a 2014 interview.

"When I first heard Kendrick’s debut on Aftermath, I couldn’t believe it. The fact that it was his first real album and he was able to make it into a story which intertwines with the skits like that was genius. That hasn’t really been done that many times, let alone on someone’s first time up. The level of wordplay, the deliveries, the beats—it’s just a masterpiece." - Eminem shared in 2016.

 
[h2]Wale[/h2]
"As far as executing, writing rhymes and telling a story, [Kendrick is] one of the top five rappers of all-time," Wale said in a 2017 interview.
[h2]Kanye West[/h2]
"Kendrick is an inspiration. Thank you for the vibrations and the spirit. Your meaning, message and execution are gifts to the world," Kanye West said in a tweet from 2015. 

"With Kendrick, that's God MC. Can't no record go out without him approaching the mix, the sound of his voice, everything like that," Kanye West shared in a 2016 interview.
[h2]Nas[/h2]
"No disrespect to nobody else in rap music, but Kendrick Lamar, I’m really happy about his record. I needed that. His record reaches you. It gives you hope." - Nas shared in a 2013 interview.
[h2]Vince Staples[/h2]
"Talking about all-time, we can say Michael Jordan is still alive, but he’s not beating LeBron James one-on-one. You talking about right now, it’s Kendrick. Easy. It’s not even close. Or [it is] Kanye." - Vince Staples said in a 2017 interview.
[h2]Travis Scott[/h2]
"I look at them [Kendrick Lamar and Andre 300 as the best artists, so for them to come to my world and rap with me is crazy," Travis Scott discussed in a 2016 interview

 

[RIP sleazyy]

You forgot the most important one.

"He's overrated." - random ****** on the internet

"He's overrated." - random ****** on the internet

That always puzzle me.

Look, man, he only seems amazing because everyone else is awful.

In reality he is just alright.

 

[RIP sleazyy]

If he's just alright these other ****** might as well hang it up

 

[SoleByThePound]

You gonna trigger a couple contrarians out there saying this

**** 'em!

 

[cragmatic]

Look, man, he only seems amazing because everyone else is awful.

In reality he is just alright.

Can't tell if this is sarcasm or not.

 

[Peep Game]

There's actually a lot of talented dudes out, but if you're comparing Kendrick to Young Thug, Rich Homie Quan, and Famous Dex, then I can see how "everyone else is awful"

 

[abematic]

They're comparing kdot to their turn up artist.
He don't make enough bangers

 

[P A Z]

3 commercial albums huh? Smh

Sorry for not citing OD, Section 80 and Untitled.

Just listen to the podcast and you'll see why I referred to those 3 specifically.

Maybeee I wasn't theeerreee
Maybeee I wasn't theeeeerrrreee
Maybeee I wasn't theeerreee
Maybeee I wasn'tttt... there


After a couple weeks, the only songs I find myself not playing are Duckworth (the first 20 seconds is glorious, but a large part of the enjoyment of it for me was gone within 2-3 listens once the story is clear), Blood (if it even counts), and Fear (the backmasked vocals were cool as hell at first, but I'm over that and really want to swap it out with a version where those are adjusted. It's also one that just kind of drags on to me at almost 8 minutes long.)
