Kendrick Lamar is the Kevin Hart of hiphop
8-16-13
"I didn't feel like doing this but it was needed.
Let's start with Kevin Hart. You have a overrated comic that is supposedly the hottest nikka around.
What has he really done. Mostly wack movie roles,,,2 wack stand ups that hit theaters and some youtube videos.
Got the nerve to mention eddies name in vain,when he is nowhere near that level.
Let's compare his so called run,to other nikkas that had it.
Martin: def comedy jam,the martin show,two funny stand ups (you so crazy,run tell that) that hit theaters and some classic movies (bad boys series,big mommas house,life etc)
Chris rock: (SNL is where i became a fan,cb4,new jack city,the chris rock show,many dope stand ups (bigger blacker etc),hosting awards (but actually doing a great job)
Dave chappelle: His main thing was the chappelle show,but it was so undeniable,that's all we need on him
Eddie Murphy the don: SNL classic sketches,Classic movies for around two decades (beverly hills cop series,48 hours and sequel,coming to america,harlem nights,golden child,trading places,boomerrang,nutty professor,dr dolittle,life,shrek)
Stand ups (delirious,RAW)
What has Kevin really done that will talked about years from now? NOTHIN AT ALL
Kendrick is the same shyt just in hiphop. Let''s look at some past hiphop don's.
Juvenile: When "Ha" dropped,everyone was on the edge of their seats for this different sounding shyt. Everyone loved back that azz up,many bumped follow me now,riide with me,ghetto children,off top etc. Everyone was was reciting his verse on RR's "down bottom" This nikka was really hot.
People wanna compare him to biggie and pac,well let's go to that
Biggie: when this nikka dropped READY TO DIE,even if you didint have the album,you knew Juicy,big poppa,warning,one more chance,WORD FOR WORD,not to mention his performance on total's CANT U SEE remix and others. The shyt was undeniable. If you heard the album,you had to know gimme the loot,machine gun funk,me and my bytch,everyday strugglee,unbelievabl etc etc.
2pac: to me 2pac's 1st classic (album) was thuglife. It wasnt heavy pushed commercially,but regardless,look at some of the songs: CRADLE TO THE GRAVE str8 ballin POUR OUT A LIL LIQUOR bury me a g HOW LONG WILL THEY MOURN ME.
Look at me against the world: If i die tonite SO MANY TEARS dear mama DEATH AROUND THE CORNER fukk the world OUTLAW it aint easy etc etc.
I could add many others but i'm sleepy and my point is made
both of them dudes aint shyt and were elected by powerful executives,to become strong in the game,probably kicking back a huge % on what they make on touring etc.
That's why anyone my age can tell they're buzzes dont feel authentic,nothing like the others i named."

And he's personally pretended pac was passing him a torch

i can't think of one rapper from that era who has been asked about kendrick that hasn't highly praised him. i think he would do just fine in the 90s

Gotta agree with OP. Highly doubt kendrick would last in the golden era. I think he's getting this appeal cause there's a drought right now and few rappers to turn to for real shyt. That doesnt raise to his rap skills to legendary levels or some shyt tho.

Better Kendrick than the rest of these nikkas who REALLY wouldnt even have careerw in the 90's
....i think Kendrick would be able to exist in that backpacker,conscience lane and be great in it,even in the 90's....would he get the accolades,and be slurped and called best rapper alive or of all time?hell nah,hed be underground or at best Common status....not a bad place to be,but not the first to come to mind when talking about who he best out.

It's the inner strength..
What Kendrick is doing isnt something new...if you 30 plus, youve pretty much seen and heard it all in the 90s...
What Blackstar or the Roots did in the 90s for me as a youth is what K dot is doing for a teenager today.
Success is all about timing.
Keep in mind there was a point where rappers would diss the roots for being a live band...look where they are today.
Salute to K dot for doing what he is doing

coolio sold millions of records in the 90s, Kendrick would be fine. but ye he's a product of his time & better off in his era, you could say that about every rapper though a lot of 90s rappers would not be as hot in this era
This.
It's always laughable when people act like such and such artists wouldn't be hot in the 90's. I love the 90's, came up during the 90's and saw Silkk The Shocker go platinum twice in the 90's. Magoo had a platinum album too.
