See, if you were under 30 you might be open minded about these things.

Re: Kendrick- The Heart Pt 4 (IV)
Song is dope but Kendrick is starting to make songs that don't have a lot of replay value for me. Even on TBABF, I find myself skipping a bunch of joints. But his songs also seem to really work in the album format, so it works when you say fuck it I'm just gonna throw the Kendrick album on and let it rock of that makes any sense.

Re: Kendrick- The Heart Pt 4 (IV)
felt this moreso on GKMC. on butterfly all the singles work well as standalone tracks, as well as in the sequence of the album. both his albums though i'll usually listen the way through.pradadon wrote:Song is dope but Kendrick is starting to make songs that don't have a lot of replay value for me.

sounds like an early 00s Dre beat that Xzibit rejected because it was too generic. Voice/raps are still as shitty as they are every time I decide to give him another try.Hair of the Dog wrote:

Re: Kendrick- The Heart Pt 4 (IV)
looks like his new project is gonna be a reworking of the prima donna theme with an aquarium metaphor or something. implicit admission that the EP didn't come off like he wanted it to. i thought it was cool thoDLG wrote:he's been on some weird shit lately but pretty much every beat on Summertime '06 is flames.thatkidnero wrote:i'd say pick beats and sell recordsDap wrote:Can someone tell me what Kendrick does better than Vince Staples?

AT LEAST MY NARCISSISM HAS REASON
this guy has drifted into "B-plus at best" rapping territory on every song now, and since he's got a Grammy he thinks he's invincible.... FUCK NAW DAWG you're not that dope, quit gassing ya self
that tweet about him being Mr Top 1-5 is fucking ridiculously RIDONKULOUS
he's not even Top 10
I prefer Kanye and Drake and even Big Sean over Kendrick, personally

I tend to agree, and this coming from someone who has been a big fan of his work to date. This has me a little pessimistic about the album.....we'll see.GUCCI CONDOMS wrote:This is beyond awful.Hair of the Dog wrote:

Re: Kendrick- The Heart Pt 4 (IV)
does Kendrick have the guts to say Drake's name yet?
probably not cause he doesn't want to get Meek Milled
sure he raps better than Meek, but is he better at the modern rap game as Drake?
DOUBT IT

Album is great, Kendrick is 4/4 imo. Favorite cuts so far: DNA, Duckworth, Pride.

Re: Kendrick- The Heart Pt 4 (IV)
Somewhat agree, but I think because I overplayed it to death over the past week it seems out of place on the album.

which is awesome because the whole song is basically a drake impression
kendrick raps fucking circles around drake, writes better songs, makes better albums. no contest.
