The only thing I genuinely enjoyed from Kendrick was Section 80. I still play that 'till this day and 'Chapter Six' in the whip is smooth enough to bring democrats and republicans together for 90 seconds in Alabama. Still, I struggle to get into most of his stuff. I try to give it a shot but it just never clicks. Occasionally, he drops a gem on me.. 'How Much A Dollar Cost' is a personal classic. For the most part however, I simply can't get into his material, which is bizarre because so many herald him as this hip hop savant. I tend to stay positive about the guy, though.
He's not anyone I check for but his success speaks for itself. Ultimately, that entire TDE crew confuses me considering their hype. The only one I check for and play consistently is Isaiah. His latest album was a drop off in quality from 'Cilvia Demo' which was stellar from start to finish but his stuff is so much smoother and enjoyable than the rest, imo, which is funny because he's basically the runt of the group while Kendrick is the franchise. To each their own, I guess.
