Am i really the first person to post anything about this? Figured the interwebz would be going nuts. He spazzed on this. Looks like the new album is dropping in 2 weeks too.

Obviously you're much more on the cutting edge than everyone else on here but I'm pretty sure anyone using any sort of social media was aware it existed. I've got no interest in hearing anything he does but I'd seen it mentioned.

I so often feel like im the only one who can't get on board the Kendrick hype train. Feel like his voice fuckin sucks and a lot of his psuedo intellectual shit falls flat. Just screams try hard in every sense of the term.

I feel like that about WSG. While Kendrick you can only stomach so much, when he raps he fucking raps.

Kendrick is dope and I generally like all his shit, but he aint Nas or Jay or Pun in their prime. So people need to dead all that shit. He's just not as good.

Why does the fact that he's marking some clown fgts in the Pop Rap world matter so much? Who gives a shit? In the real HipHop world clowns like Drake and Big Sean are irrelevant. smh

And don't get me wrong, I think Kendra is dope for an MC/Rapper. I just don't like 95% of his music. Thank god he stopped doing that terrible alien voice though...

But why won't K Dot go after some real gawdz like Cyrus Malachi and Figub Brazlevic to solidify his place in hip-hop.... His reputation would go thru da roof!

The real Hip Hop world ended in like 1997.

And I will argue that any indie/underground whatever word you want to use to describe an artist trying to recreate what Tribe, De La, Gang Starr or whoever did in the 90's is just as fuckin bad as Big Sean and Drake.

Don't get me wrong, I can listen to an Eclipse Rap Is Outta Control show and vibe to some of the music, but that is because he is picking the very best that is out there. Some of the other stuff is just so bad. And it has been like that for years. Most of the shit Bobbito played on the CM FAM show towards the end was brutal.

There is no such thing as a "Real Hip Hop World" anymore. It's either good or it sucks. IMO anyway.

Right. I mean, I hadn't mentioned grime and I never really liked it much apart from a couple of songs but if you really want to hold on to that worst poster title two years in a row you just do you.

The irony in calling people old and out of the loop when you think no one knew about grime until Drake came along though.

exactly. meh. this guessing game shit is weaksauce actually. :fail:

it makes me not want to hear it being so blatantly aimed at someone, but being so blatantly hidden about it. how serious can you be if you won't say names, bruh bruh? :bunk:

at least with Drake's sub-subliminals, it's pretty clear who they are aimed at. :gyeah:

Kendrick needs to shit or get off the pot for the throne now. Let's be clear like Funk Flex :omar:

the song isn't that bad... but it's also not AMAZING lyrically.

K.Dot is lucky the standard of rapping is so low in '17. Kendrick would be above average in '93 :cas:

Grime artist going plat=100k records. More life outsold every grime album OAT and it's more widespread geographically.

All that, and Skepta still can't make a good song.

Um, OK. Why are you going on about grime and Drake in a thread about Kendrick though?

Do you need someone to talk to?

GKMC is not better than:

illmatic
IWW
Reasonable Doubt
Blueprint
Black Album
Capital Punishment

It is better than any Drake album, however.

And I really like Kendrick but let's be real b

^fair, i know this is not an argument i'm gonna win on here. it didn't occur to me until my friend made the bold, random claim: GKMC>illmatic. i'm like nah son. it can't be. then i realized that was closed-minded thinking, i wasn't really comparing them. what GKMC does better than any of the albums you mentioned is tell an emotionally resonant story that changes the protagonist, and by extension the listener. unlike say illmatic it's way more than the sum of all the songs included -- its "X-factor" is huge.
