Can we PLEASE stop saying Kendrick has classics?

[Boogie]

Good albums, yes. Classics? Hell nah.

Saying Kendrick album is a classic honestly is a slap to the face of Hip Hop. Keep it 100 saying that any of these new nikkas has classics is disrespectful. That shyt gets thrown around too much.

That's all

I think classic implies it has stood the test of time, there are instant classics though. If his career gets bigger these will be classics to history, dunno if they would otherwise. I'm not a huge fan though.

 

[SuburbanPimp]

Okay

I agree, the word classic shouldn't even be considered until an album has been out for 6 months.....

 

[KravenMorehead™]

I like music.

 

[Poh SIti Dawn]

Can't take your opinion seriously, you got geeked off of owning a pair of new standards and named yourself APC Joey, lame

 

[Sad Bunny]

Gkmc is classic tbh

Honestly I used to get heated about people calling shyt that just came out classic - but I think its time to just acknowledge that the definition of the term has changed, at least in the way its used most often, and really doesn't have anything to do with standing the test of time.

Realistically, 'classic' in the traditional sense doesn't mean shyt any more to your average hip hop fan, because its not enough just to like something because of your own personal taste, everyone is insecure as hell and wants to be part of something thats significant on a broader cultural/historical level.

So basically everything has to be 'classic.' It's super annoying to see all these man-boys reaching for some kind of personal validation/belonging via their particular choices of entertainment, but it is what it is. This is the result of out of control capitalism - selfhood and identity can't exist outside of our relationships with the various commodities we consume.

Rap fans are embarrassing.

I don't think he has anything near a classic personally, but I don't think his new album is terrible, it's a 3 mic album to me, so it's decent, but just decent, people are entitled to have their own opinion though, I'm not mad at that.

I would need to give this new one some time but this is some of the best shyt I heard from one of these new nikkas

Disrespectful to who? This same sh!t is what 80s heads said about the new 90s gangster rappers...

I'm just grateful hip hop still exists and hasn't faded out into disco status

Kendricks stans try nailing that "classic" shyt into our heads to make us believe he has one

People needa stop calling albums classics until they been out for at least 5 years or more

People are way too desperate for a "classic" album these days

 

[Kaypain]

Can we please stop sweating over other people opinions on what the fukk they think?

Exactly. I don't even care anymore.
