fukk OUTTA HERE: GKMC is not a classic... aint even close

[Lyrically_N_Gaged]

It feels good knowing that it's just a small minority of people that refuse to give Kendrick's debut a proper ranking based on whatever anti-westcoast/industry hype plant perspective they have on him. Time will drown those people out and GKMC will get the recognition it deserves in hip-hop by the new listeners that come in.

The lyrics, the story, the pain, and everything leading up to it is something I hope get's remembered like the rest of the classics do. It's like people pick what year they stopped liking hip-hop and say "That's it, after this year there is no way that anything will compare to the music that was playing when I was younger, had little to no responsibilities, and the people I looked up to gave it their stamp of approval"

I chose my year to be right after Kendrick dropped

Kill this thread already...

Nothing but a pointless rant, start a blog or something. What's the point in all this, besides people going back and fourth in a endless cycle explaining why their personal opinions matters more than the other. Truth is, you ain't going to change our minds, we ain't going to change yours. While you sitting telling us why you think this album is this or that doesn't deserve this and that or Kendrick Lamar is this and that, his voice is this and that, etc... We'll still be listening to it.

You asked us to explain why we think it's hot and we did... so .... now what. Is worth it? Did I put enough work in?

oh shyt, i dared form a discussion on a forum? by youre avi i can see why youre so offended... keep 'swagging' skywalker

and very few gave a real answer on why its classic. just "cause it is", "it will be in ten years cause thats what the industry dictates", "i dont even like it that much but it IS a classic", "its better than the rest of the trash"... foh. save ya hurt feelins for ya girl

all i see is a bunch of bitter drake stans.

kendrick is hip hop for hip hop fans. drake is manufactured pop for teen girls.

In ten years people will still proudly listen to gkmc. In ten years drake fans wont exist, theyll be too embarrassed to admit they liked drake.

 

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

where the bul at?

i listened to "overly dedicated" yesterday and that chit is weak too.

IT'S CALLED A CLASSIC CAUSE THE PAID OFF INTERNET STREET TEAM SAID SO........ shyt IS TRASH

real spit.

When are you people going to stop saying "you must have started listening to Hip Hop in 2003 if you think this is a classic" despite the laundry list of long time fans who say otherwise?

This is the best Hip Hop album released in at least 10 years, and arguably the best Hip Hop album released of the entire 2000's.

fixed.....

You still don't get it... you're wasting your fukking time. Trying to clown me cuz a nikka dress nice? fukk outta here. You're weird dude, you prolly got on the mismatched hightop socks right now, with the neo strip sleeveless v-neck and the snapback that says SWAG across it.

What you mean real answer? You don't even have a real definition for "classic". Everyone is different, we gave you reasons why we think it's a classic, if you don't agree, o well, wasted your time in the first place.

The way you initiated the discussion came off like a rant... like I said they got blogs for that, you better off starting a Tumblr account nikka. Just like every other cynic that rants about shyt that gets too much praise in their eyes, nothing but common cynicism.

Theres no real answer, it's all subjective, as far as I'm concern, there is no set criteria for the "classic" status quo. If there is, please by all means list them...

you wasted more time on this post tha n i did on all mine. stop thinking about me my dude. there obviously is a section of this forum that dont feel the same as you. i can ask a question, i can do so in however way i want. you dont like my methods keep it to yaself and post about the album; all the extra shyt ya spewing is unnecessary. talking bout wastin time..if there is no real answer and its all subjective than my reasoning for thinking its not classic is more correct than the 40 people telling me its classic cause the publications say it is

*doesnt waste time looking up willy wonka gifs

stay consistant

 

[GhettoNintendo]

let's make this clear: those who say it is one are generally amazed at the idea of a concept album

reasons on why it is a classic

1. nobody thought kendrick would even sell those numbers. the dude sold more than cole did on his debut and cole is more commercially appealing than k dot.
2. the critical acclaim.
3. the rapping and production itself mesh perfectly well
4. cole's debut album so far has sold 700,000. kendrick's album just went platinum in july. who would of thought an album like GKMC would sell that well. No one.

pretty sure this is a classic. if you can't see the influence of this album than you are blind. this shyt changed the game.

 

[GhettoNintendo]

although the sideline story did start the whole you don't need a single to sell well trend (in this era)

 

[Ashtrey]

Big Sean using skits on his new album he says for a more classic feel. The influence of K Dot the God is already being felt

real spit.

Then I have nothing more to say.... Kendrick just isn't for you b. That's fine with me

 

[954UAlreadyknow]

its arguable.............I just dont like 'Backstreet Freestyle'


The first half of 'M.A.A.D City' before the beat change that hook sound goofy as fukk


Besides that I could listen straight through

by that logic Yelawolf's radioactive is also a classic
