Dude really has no bars. But I can appreciate the tone of his albums.
people are afraid to SAY this.

This is just like art student expression.

This isn't rap music.

This is Gil Scott Heron shyt. If you want to make audio museums that the black museum attendees will appreciate, say that. But this is made of think pieces of literary students seeking meaning. This isn't easy listening. Thats my biggest complaint of what he does. Its just so dense AND lacks actual bars that its weird to really typify. Dude doesn't do punchlines but then we're suppose to elevate it above his peers who are infinitely more witty or insightful.

Thats fine if he wants to do that, but a lot of this stuff cant be listened to more than once.

People hate me when I say Wale and definitely Drake might wash him in a battle and shyt like this is precisely why.

Has no bars? :mjlol::russ:
kendrick has arguably the lowest quotable/punchline/bar/reference ratio to lyrical density of any rap artist ive ever heard. EVER.

Bruh. FUTURE has more punchlines and bars that are mind-blowing.

Kendrick has vibes and wavy shyt for sure...but Come on man. You got Wale out here fighting for his life and Kendrick is out here kinda just...saying whatever comes to mind out of his rhyme book and people are gassing it. Its just...aight.

Ppl actually call him the goat or a goat. I don't even consider him an emcee at this point. Gil Scott is a good comparison. Kenny is capable of making powerful music, but he ain rappin. And he's constantly getting outshined by features

Y’all waste no time do y’all even know what hip hop is ?
...here we go... :heh:

@Tony D'Amato You know whats funny? He keeps playing into the "black pain" shyt knowing damn well MOST of us ain't trying to wallo in that shyt. He's selling it.

This is him just trying to do more performative shyt since BLM TPAB and Alright changed his career direction thematically.

...dont act like we ain't see it...
