smh. that the 2nd one as well as cartoons and cereal didnt make the album is an executive producer fail. whoever exec produced that isht didnt care about kendricks legacy, cause those are 2 great songs, as great as the album was, it was heavy and very bleak. it dont really have any songs u can just bump.[/quote
a bunch of drivel & hurt feelings.
did you really waste time posting all of this?
then again, youre probably getting paid to do this.
lmao
???thats what i thought!

you stressed the most generic selling points possible.
either youre a paid poster or you sipped the Kool-Aid and fell for the propaganda.
ExpandEvery reason we say it isn't a classic can be said for every album dubbed a classic.

I think the impact GKMC had was to recalibrate the standard of good music. At a particular time, everyone was just doing whatever the fukk they wanted but after that album, people are a whole lot more critical of music and originality and content etc. Its particularly true for all the "new artists". So while Yeezus and MCHG had little impact because they did not match their earlier works, all other new artists are being so critically scrutinised because nothing has lived up to that standard yet and people dont care MUCH about those artists. J cole, Asap Rocky, Hopsin, Krit are probably the best examples of rappers who without Kendrick's blitz of a year period (not just GKMC) would have been huge drake like superstars but arent.
with that said, I'm getting old but gkmc is probably one of my favorite albums of the 2000s
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 haveanymany mainstream radio hits that you could blast while cruising 2 miles an hour but those are both definitely classics.
Is what it is.![]()
