I Think Y’all Hate Kendrick Bcuz He’s From The Coast

[dora_da_destroyer]

nikka said Kendrick is mediocre

That's the kind hate this thread is talking about. No one says he gotta be GOAT, but to call him a mediocre rapper, stop.

 

[Benefited]

but bounce would be the south, one of his influences

and his flow and delivery is brooklyn to the core

Im not talking about bounce beats. West coast always had beats meant to make you bounce that had bounce to them/funky beats.

Brooklyn to the core?thats arguable.

 

[who killin it?]

its just a vocal minority with father issues that hate kendrick

 

[Panther]

Has nothing to do with him being from the west.

That annoying voice and flow he has is terrible.

His lyrics aren't mind blowing either but people stay gassing anything he drops

Bunch of lying muthafukkas up in here.

I seen it when Cube was The King of Hip Hop 89-92

Tupac when he was The King of Hip Hop from 95-96

And now since Kendrick Lamar was given the King of Hip Hop crown in 2015

They can't stand to see a West Coast Emcee running the game

 

[West Coast Avenger]

Oh you know that's why........NY has Cardi B at the moment running their hip hop game........nikkaz is always mad when a bruh from the West Coast is on top....

The problem people have with Kendrick is definitely the way he is covered by the media - in particular, i think, media outlets which historically have never had much time for hip hop before mbdtf "transformed" it into a "legitimate" artistic medium. (I mean, they still don't really respect it which is why they push the narrative of Kendrick as a "writer" rather than a "rapper").

These media outlets aren't merely content to hand him hip hop's crown (which is irritating enough because they don't have any credentials to support their role as hip hop kingmakers) but are constantly trying to elevate him to be some kind of leader of my generation. But I don't, and does anyone, actually know who Kendrick is and what he stands for? What exactly is he leading? The message in his music is obfuscated by meandering lyrics and the vaguely defined tenets on which tpab and damn are built just seem to be a repetition of the sort of views held by any left leaning person. Where is the radical position in his music? Where is the challenge? Oh, you wondered why he can sell so many records...?

He makes good popular music with lyrics that sound like they might be deep or something because they are weird and don't properly make sense (Hov already dealt with his type - just cos you don't understand him, it don't mean he nice, it just means you don't understand all the bullshyt that he writes) and with a political stance that's vague enough that a sizable spectrum of political views can feel validated by it.

I wish the media could just leave it on the "we really like how his music sounds"-level rather than think-piece-projecting him to a platform he is not cut for.

Kendikk is actually mediocre at best.

Look, 2Pac is THE golden standard in Hip-Hop and Kenprick comes nowhere close to his level.

I'd rate Tony Yayo and Jim Jones higher than Kendrick.

There are 60 emcees I'd rate higher than him even Drake... and I don't really like Drake.

Kendrick never gave us a verse like Jimmy's on I'm Ready.
he'd malfunction if he had to try and put that emotion and pain in his music the way Jim did for years.

Jim Jones gun sound ad-libs > Kendrick's Star Wars gun sounds.
Jim Jones basically being NY's Pac during his New York Ryderman years > doing a fake interview with Pac.

i could do the same for Yayo but i don't want to do that Kenny..i like him.

What is it you didn't like?

Kendrick is a terrible "emcee" if you wanna call him that.

And those accents he puts on when he "raps" are so excruciatingly cringeworthy.

Kendrick is the Black Eminem. He's doing the exact same style and you dikkheads are eating it up just because his skin is brown regardless of his talent which he doesn't really posses.

Another industry plant.

PS. Don't use Gawdfather's name or aggressive imagery content in vein.

Even gawdfather knows what's up.

Well, Tony Yayo is as NY underground street as it gets.

Until Kendrick can write a better song than, "So Seductive" or "Live By The Gun" or "Bullets Whistle" or "Weed & Hennessy"

Kendrick fxcking boring. He has no passion.

"You want a problem, no problem... you don't want that smoke" - Gawdfather

Also, I didn't say he was complete shxt just that he isn't as great as the media makes him out to be.

I get more enjoyment from Jim Jones and Yayo than boring ass Cendrick Lama.

50 gives all up and coming talent some of his shine on his platform so that feature literally means nothing.

Nobody hates Kendrick because he’s from the coast, people just don’t like being force fed a rapper and being told he’s the greatest ever.

Kendrick is a great rapper, but he’s not a top 10 rapper of all time.

Yall ain't being forced nothing

Every rapper has their hyperbole as the greatest. I mean theres nikkas on this site telling me Young Thug is better than Tupac.

 

[Kaypain]

Kendrick has been called a top 10 rapper by 105.1 and hot 97, he’s been labeled a generational rapper by cacplex, a savior from XXL, and lauded as the best rapper in this generation by the New York Times.

^^ That’s being forced down people throat.

And your second statement is also factually incorrect. Lupe fiasco doesn’t get forced down people throat, yet people acknowledge that he’s one of the best rappers this generation as well. Same thing with Big Krit.

Nobody gives a fukk about neither of that shyt. It's called promotion nikka

 

[GeeEffKay]

That’s what happens when you’re on top gettin all the praise and accolades

Also how can you take any of these losers hating serious when you see the rappers they are championing themselves

 

[Kaypain]

I hate him because he's corny and doesn't talk about anything

Neither do you on this forsaken forum
