What is sad about this whole frenzy is that some of the more "relevant and popular" rappers have chosen to be "about their money" instead of hip hop. I knew people seen hip hop as a get rich quick scheme but not like this :snoop:

The most overblown verse of all-time. I still don't see what has all your panties in a bunch. Buncha mumbo jumbo and he threw some names in there. :beli:
He did something that none of this generations superstars had the balls to do and because he did it, he gets the praise for it...What's not to understand?

Because he's getting praise for just saying names, not actually dissing or having a hot verse.

How to Rob >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> this shyt

I thought it was a hot verse :manny: but lets say I agree with you and believe the verse was straight :trash:. He would still deserve the praise he getting because he's proven many times over that he's one of the elites of this new generation, so for someone like that to do what he did is unheard of now, so why shouldn't it make news?

How convenient that you point out how to rob cause I was gonna mention that. That track didn't make headlines cause he was spitting some genius shyt, it turned heads cause some new young nikka had the balls to say "I will rob every one of you rap nikkas" and called out each and every name.

At least How to Rob was clever. This was just a bunch of gibberish surrounded by him naming a buncha rappers.

This guy is not elite. He's not wack, but nowhere near what he's hyped to be. Just shows how watered down the game is now.

I hope you're right but I'm far too cynical to believe it...

The fans seem to have an endurance for repeditive content that I don't see ending anytime soon...We're not out of the dark ages yet...

You'd have to close every club in America to get n1ggas to no longer be intrigued by the drum.... "The club" and "the church" are too ingrained into Black culture for anything else to breath...

And lets be real... Unless females hop on this super lyrical/content train (which I don't see happening) n1ggas are gonna be hesitant to demand it from artists..At the end of the day, everyone wants to get drunk and fukk somethin...The culture has been led by women since the late 90's...

You gotta make sure that these lyrical dudes get TONS more money off of touring than the club rappers. Then the dumb rappers have no choice but to switch up for the better or make crumbs (in music industry standards). SMH @ these p*ssy whipped simps that look like trap nikkas want women to control what they listen to. So that is where the simping has gotten outta control in today's world. Maybe this can mark a new beginning where MEN can listen to the music they choose and not think about what bytches think about it.

I finally bothered to listen to this today. Probably should have checked it before all the hype, because it's a pretty regular verse to me (might be extraordinary in 2013, but that doesn't say a lot). I would consider it "good."

The best aspect so far is that the verse seems to be inspiring other rappers (Joell's response was nice).

If that's truly what kendrick was doing, I salute him. Time will tell what the impact is.
But, if this verse is the pinnacle of the "bar raising" movement, I'll just listen to shyt from the 90s and know I'm not missing anything.
