RIP MR. SMOKE
All this hype kendrick created off one verse just shows how much respect and admiration he has from his peers. and imo, that alone proves he's got the crown right now. I don't think any other MC coulda turned the entire hip hop community upside down the way kendrick did. not kanye, not jay, not drake....definitely none of these other new rappers. people know there's something different about kendrick. he's built from the same cloth of the legends of the 90's. hip hop has been watered down for so long now, I think us fans forgot why we fell in love with hip hop in the first place. but kendrick came through and slapped us all in the face and reminded us all of that very fact. that creativity, that competitive edge...36 chambers, illmatic, the infamous, ready to die, the chronic....a whole nation of artists consistently trying to better eachother and prove they're the best...thats what hip hop is. so I don't think this is an over-reaction at all. I think this is just a wake up call...an appreciation for an MC who's bringin back the spirit of true hip hop. kendrick is building an unstoppable movement for himself and he did it with nothing but great fukkin music. it's remarkable to witness. as a life long hip hop fan, I couldn't have asked for a better MC to be the new face of the culture. Kendrick is sittin on the throne and reppin that crown right.
