Kendrick is Obviously Talented, But If This Were The 90s That nikka Would Be Aceyalone/Del The Funky Homosapien Status

This is based off that dumbass shyt Jadakiss and Fat Joe said I fukking hate them cornballs. In an era where being "weird" and super eclectic is far more accepted than it was in the 90s, of course he gone blow up; not to mention who else on the west is competing with him commercially?

i've actually said this before.
he would just be another alternative Cali rapper. we've hads lots of artists and groups of Kendricks elk in the mid to early 00s.

its not like he raps any better than these artist, lets be honest

I felt part of my brain dying listening to that video clip.

While agree that Kendrick probably wouldn't be experiencing the run he's on now back in the 90s, it's not because of tastes changing, it's more about lack of top end variety. Saying he'd be Del status is a wild overstatement.

To go back to the clip, they're overlooking the fact that Dre, Snoop, Tupac, etc. wouldn't be able to dominate LA radio like this because most of their runs overlapped, so it was easier to mix things up a bit. But now, if you're a southern California station and want to go with local acts, who else from the region is anywhere near as prominent and popular as Kendrick Lamar? Most stations would much rather play "Luther", "TV Off", "Squabble Up", and "Peekaboo" every single hour than anything else.

Really, this speaks more to the fact that hip-hop is hurting for legitimate stars right now more than anything.

Good kid madd city is a classic in any era bro. Not even a fan of him like that either

 

[iseetrolledpeople]

Kendrick surrounded by artists on his level of artistry, people going direct, challenging him blatantly? Gtfo. Kendrick rapping gangsta? Cooking in the studio with prime X Y Z producer, rapper whatnot? He would be even greater.

He is a rapper not a gimmick.

Drake wouldn't even be allowed in hip hop back then. He'd be a professional victim in the 90's.
