Going strictly off the visual with no context, it didn't do anything for me. I get your point tho

That's the best you can come up with?
wow
See... this is what I'm talking about. Y'all will bend to accommodate Kendrick in any way possible, then have the nerve to mention his name next to Nas. Did Nas do a track with Britney Spears on It Was Written? Did he have collabs with The Spice Girls right around Nas Is Like?
I don't like pop. Frankly, I never have. If you grew up in the era I'm from, the whole point of why hip hop was so attractive was because it was totally unlike pop. I might like the occasional pop song but I wasn't sitting there like "yo, NORE really needs to make a song with Smash Mouth right now." Cmon man
Are y'all really naive enough to think that a collab with bubblegum artists is still gonna maintain the integrity of this artform we love called 'hip hop?'
Rap is not pop. If you call it that, then stop.

typical rosenberg playing dumb. Right off the bat, understand that as you seek my attention, don't expect to get a reply every time. And if you say enough dumb shyt in a row, you'll get tossed in Ignore Hell and that's that.
The way you attempt to rewrite history to coddle Ducktales is pathetic as fukk. And if you are as old as you claim to be, a true testament to how a fraud can be any age.
Nevermind that Jay-Z collaborated with Linkin Park way after he'd already established himself as a top tier rapper.
The Black Lips? I've never even heard of them. Googled them and they're some underground punk rock band with barely any views on Youtube. How in the fukk is that pop - especially in comparison to Taylor Swift, Sia, Maroon 5, etc?
Tim McGraw is country/pop and that collaboration made total sense because Nelly was always a pop rapper. Unlike today's frauds, Nelly never came out the gate pretending to be something he wasn't.
Compare one-of, outside-genre collabs by legendary rappers at least a decade after their debut* to an Interscope geek who debuted in 2011 and was already dikkriding pop by 2012, brehs.
*It wasn't a decade for Public Enemy and Anthrax. Before you start on some tangential bullshyt to pick apart a minor part of the response to deflect from the main and obvious point
Just like a bytch, Kendrick is an established artist so let's throw that Jay was an established artist out the window
All those artist sold millions or either have CAC fans which you always bytch about, but you moving the goal line again
You better put me on ignore you horse mouth b*stard because every time I see punk shyt from you I'm going to expose call you out on it

I'm not accommodating Kendrick Lamar. Any artist of the rap genre or any genre are free to collaborate with whom they choose. They should be defined by the content they make not who they associate* with. I say that(*) in the sense of them working with other artist whether they're from the same genre or not. At his core he is a rapper and his discography and other artists reflects that. Whether you choose to believe that or not is up to you.
Yes there are artist out there that do not work outside of their camp/genre/label. And yes that is respected among the culture, and at the same time collaborations are in that same pot.
But i'm going to be 100 with you. I didn't join on this site to debate something like this. Especially something as inane as this.
In this day in age where Social Justice Warriors and Anti's are flagrant. Genders are in the double digits,people ain't vaccinating their kids and our president talked about chocolate cake in the same sentence as bombing a country. I ain't with it.
We can agree to disagree or we can continue this stupid ass conversation about how Kendrick Lamar and other artist are synonymous with Pop and Beyonce.

Video is cool with me. Not the visuals I would have went with when the beat switched. That shyt deserves some extinction level event madness to match the tone. Would've been godly

Breh, you should have stopped entertaining that shyt after Kendrick = Beyonce.
Chill.
This sounds cute in theory but in reality, known artists don't just do songs with anybody. And they're not going to do songs that don't benefit them. So no... you weren't going to hear Britney Spears ft Nas in 1998 because neither fanbase was trying to hear that. Totally different fanbases.
The reason why Kendrick can do tons of collabs with pop artists is because he shares the same base as them. This isn't rocket science but we can pretend it is if you want
ah. You're on your edit shyt.
The convo is stupid to you because cognitive dissonance is real. I already explained how Kendrick and Bey are similar, and they've even collaborated. You're just not tryin to hear it. Just be honest and say "nah, I aint trying to hear that - I need Kendrick's credibility to be rock solid" instead of pretending like the argument aint matching up intellectually.

I apologize, the conversation isn't stupid, it's inane. Stupid would be me not giving you the benefit of doubt that you simply dislike the artist and hype surrounding him which is understandable.This sounds cute in theory but in reality, known artists don't just do songs with anybody. And they're not going to do songs that don't benefit them. So no... you weren't going to hear Britney Spears ft Nas in 1998 because neither fanbase was trying to hear that.

I don't think his credibility will be, "rock solid" by your standards or even remotely to the point to satisfy you. With that being said, being honest doesn't make you right. It doesn't make anyone right. Requesting Kendrick Lamar or any artist prove to you that he's established as if he owes you that is fukking ridiculous. It's cool to hold your opinion to high standards but you're getting full of yourself when those high standards are shyt. You're another cog in the culture gears and you're stripped I.E washed. I just joined and I can see from this conversation alone that your negative rep isn't from "good opinions" or even "unpopular opinions".
shyt, no wonder people straight up call you on your bullshyt instead of talking to you.
I ain't with that attention whorin' shyt. I'm done with your ass.
