Diddy says Kendrick Lamar killed us and is bringing competition Back to hip hop

[Rominati]

All this overhyping of Kendrick is really gonna bite him in the ass in the long run.

 

[George's Dilemma]

But Kdot is Hov's son

And u would know that if u were an actual kendrick fan

You're right. Being that Nas sat back and watched Jay grow famous and then smiled like the proud father who watched his only son make it......well that would make Kdot his grandson.

They were saying the same shyt about Drake.

They're just nut hugging to appeal to "real hip-hop heads" who need their egos stroked.

The thing is...Drake isnt half the artist that K. Dot is nor does any of his albums hold a candle to GKMC.

1. Drake has mopped Kendrick on songs they've both rapped on

2. Drake is easily the most well rounded ARTIST of any entertainer in rap/hiphop right now.

3. K Dot could learn a few things from Drake. If Drake really wanted to go via Kendrick's lane, he'd completely murder it. Ya'll forgot who Drake was before he is who he is today.

Nope

He can rap and harmonize, cool. I'm not talking about his R&B records, i'm talking about Rap. Drake isnt half the rap artist that K. Dot is.

Drake can't use the same content as K. Dot. Drake's only struggle is wondering if his moms will make him a tuna sandwich or nah, so how exactly can he go K. Dot's route when he never dealt with street shyt or any real struggle?

and don't forget that kendrick had the best song on TC, that song burried alive

 

[Jone2three45]

Yeah puffy would know,
He's been "killing" the game since '97.

Kendrick is still one of the most overrated artist ever,
I only listened to his album 1.5 times.

 

[Sucka Free]

I then why in the hell did he sign French s n1kka wit absolutely no skills or Cassie. F@@k way Diddy saying right now and I like Diddy.

I'd bet money Drake would always have the better verse between him and Kendrick.

Don't get his sound fukked up. Drake CAN RAP. Dude is one of THE best rappers out right now.

He may not be battling per say but it's still competition in the sense that a million people purchased his album as opposed to insert artist's name here_________________. The rap game is full of monkey see-monkey do. N!ggaz hop on trends trying to capitalize off of what's hot. Well what's hot according to GKMC's sales is lyrics, substance, creativity, authenticity, quality production, etc., basically what the majority of HipHop music used to be. So hopefully what Diddy stated rings true because that means artists are actually gonna have to put out a solid product capable of competing with or at least emulating GKMC quality or/and success.

It's funny how so many dope albums came out in the 90's but not without reason. The quality of the music was like capitalism when it comes to consumers benefiting from companies competing for your dollars. So many 3.5, 4, 4.5 mic albums, and the occasional 5 mic. Regardless, we were eatin back then. For a while though the game was like Scrappy's struggle plate. Things done changed. Long live competition when a n!gga with talent and substance is the rabbit that the greyhounds are chasing.

But its been that way tho..What u think got 50 diamond status?

What u think got Drake double plat status?

What u think got Ye continuously gettin double plat?

Yall nikkaz just arbitrarily attribute Kdot to making "lyrics, production, authenticity, etc." hot again but thats farthest from the truth.

nikkaz acting like Kdot's machine push from gettin lyricist of the year awards off "independent albums" to having nikkaz like snoop and game herald him as the new face and king of the West aint have nothing to do with it.

Kdot is a spectacular artist dnt get me wrong but yall mufckaz laying it on really thick

Sht reminds me of how nikkaz got like when ye beat 50 in sales talm bout some "Yess real hip hop is winning over tht hard gangsta sht that destroys our ppl"

Fast forward...now nikkaz is asking for it back and complain about the fruits of such an event(Drake, J Cole, etc.)

 

[Jone2three45]

Shyne was the only one to speak the truth about the album.

What did he say?

 

[macadomusic]

You mean he put out good music as opposed to doing it over great music. The vocals are part of the music, and true there's been other great lyricists, candid and honest to the point of being vulnerable. However, it's been a while since somebody released an album displaying the full package. I've heard subpar to the point of borderline illiterate artists over great production, and elite lyricists over below average beats. His album and his prior mixtapes have the best of both elements. He gave the game what it's been missing.

His honesty in the booth is the ultimate credibility too. From Compton, red team affiliated but not a banger per say, yet involved and familiar enough to speak on his experiences without forcing the listener to believe he was a triple OG is a breath of fresh air. And to be able to spit that life as good as the GOATS. It's only every now and then we get a great one.

Personally I think Nas is who forced artists to look in the mirror at themselves. See Let Nas Down or like Pusha T said, "It ain't hard to tell we cant all be Nas" which was an admittance of Nas being almost like HipHop's conscience. Name an artist the he aint influence, Kendrick being the latest son to make his father proud in a sea flunkies.

Saved this to my documents, and anytime someone downplays Kendrick, I'll quote Endiphrint's post on this glorious afternoon.
