I really have trouble with Kendrick's flow. His lyrics are dope but I never fell like listening to him cause he sounds so soft and whiny. But I'm old school too. You used to have to sound hard on a record or you would get clowned. I guess that's why I can't get with it.
I'm also a NY east coast rap head. I would guess Kendrick's biggest fans are west coast cats more than the east.
But I do really respect him though. Lyrics are complex and well thought out. And the joints where his voice doesn't sound like a 9 year old I can definitely fukk with like "The Heart Pt II" "Hilpower" or "Sherane".
Bottom line is that it's classic whether I like K.dot or not. Way too much acclaim. And the Wu second CD or GZE first didn't really have
any many mainstream radio hits that you could blast while cruising 2 miles an hour but those are both definitely classics.
Is what it is.
