No idea what homeboy is rambling about, but the quote from the article he's criticizing is on point
I think most fans and critics would agree that Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp a Butterfly is, indeed, overwhelming. I reviewed To Pimp a Butterfly in about 72 hours. In that narrow band of time, I "got" the album's messages and themes but couldn’t grasp the motivations for the album’s sound. Why, in 2015, would a recently platinum-selling rapper make a jazz album with Lalah Hathaway, Ron Isley, and George Clinton?
Lotta dope producers pushing boundaries these days, but kendrick made a funk album. Not even g funk. It's a vanity move that hurts replay value.

2. Drake

"We were listening to a lot of Kendrick Lamar," says Visconti. "We wound up with nothing like that, but we loved the fact Kendrick was so open-minded and he didn't do a straight-up hip-hop record. He threw everything on there, and that's exactly what we wanted to do. The goal, in many, many ways, was to avoid rock & roll."

this is hot. so was cole's verse over "alright". i'm not tryna hear them do a collabo album though. their rapping styles are too similar. why can't kendrick just do an album with future like a normal rapper......

^Kendra is way overhyped. Sure he's a good MC, but 90-95% of the actual music he makes is garbage. Not to mention he's annoying as FUCK when he does that alien sounding voice.

Give him some actual HipHop beats by dope HipHop producers and force him to only spit in his normal voice and I might actually kinda like the guy. But until then, no fuckin thanks as I'll stuck to listening to actual HipHop that represents HipHop Music & Culture.
