Initially when it came out I wasn't feeling it, but it took a morning of me coming home from work, and listening to it with no distractions to be on some, "this is a good ass album" pov. Since then I've burned it for 3 different friends, lol.
Does Kendrick's new album go over my head?
- Thread starter JAY?
- Start date

comparing Illmatic to K. dots album
Step your comprehension game up breh. Didnt compare it to illmatic
I was saying that even Illmatic gets hated on sohh I cant even get mad at people hatin on this great album
Lmao first of all Native tongues weren't didnt have no major rapper except ATCQ, You can count De La too if you want. They were all still not as successfull as the LL,Nas,Jay,Mobb,BIG,Foxy,BigPun,Onyx,Lox,EPMD, and so on pretty much had the same sound and subjet matter in the 90's. Stop lying to yourself breh, Today you have gay rappers like Wiz, gangsta niccas like Young Jeezy, swag rappers like Big Sean, lyrical geniuses like Kendrick, country niccas like Big Krit, then you have Drake, Weed rapper like Currensy and all of them got their own soundnd Only one of them talks about coke
We also had the west coast sound. Dre, snoop, Nate dogg, kurupt
And the Midwest sound. Common, bone thugs
Etc
So where on this album does Kendrick's lyrical genius come to play?
Maybe I'm wrong, but when I think of lyrical, I thinks of shyt like this

C'mon son
You know damn well West and Midwest are the most hated regions by purists except the south of course
matter of fact the music from Midwest, West and South in the 90's is better than anything NY ever did to me.
It's all opinions breh, but you and I know today Hip-Hop has grown to a state where u can come from any background,race etc and if you make good music be accepted. Only music that really "died" was Pop and Radio music.
There's so much quality rap coming out today if you look in the right places, and what I love is that there's something for everybody

I'm from NYC. Never hated the west but of course I rock out with the east
I don't really fukk with west coast rappers but I respect what they did.
My point was that there was different sounds back then
Everybody didnt sound the same
There's was definitely different flavors
Hip hop has grown to a state where fakkitry is allowed as long as u can rap
That's corny to me
I grew up in the era where 'u couldn't speak it if u ain't live it'
I'm not saying these new kids aint talented but
I don't want to hear child actors talkin about catching bodies
I don't want to hear officers talking about sellin bricks
To me, it goes against hip hop
To me, it's about the struggle, about the hood
Doesn't have to be as technical or as lyrical but it definitely has to be real

I feel u on the realness part of if, but to be honest Prodigy nd Havoc are known to be fake, I can go own, rappers getting exposed ain't nothing new in Rap, it's just that today with the internet and the social media its 10 times easier to expose the fake
fakkitry
Only gay nicca I know is Weezy, other "flamboyant" rappers like Big Sean, Wiz etc are nothing new either just check Rap in the 80's similiar styles just can't say they're gay.Back then there was SO much Gangsta rap were today "Gangsta Rap" barely gets any play which I think is good because everybody in the hood ain't gangsta breh, imagine in society as a whole

Havoc has never been known to be fake
nikkas question prodigy now, but back then his gangsta was never in question
He went at anybody
It is easier now to expose the fake
But the problem is, there's no consequence to being exposed
If what 50 did to Ross about his history, his girl or his moms back in the day, they'd be real beef
Now they laugh about it, it's a joke
