Cut him some slack on this broKendrick is a corny faux conscious artist whom was marketed as deep so he wouldnt be judged fairly against drake,whom was sonning him for 5-6 years straight. He made ineffective songs that didnt remotely match his so called status and hid behind consciousness to avoid the fact that he was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay behind drake and really wanted to be him.
Therefore instead of people looking at the fact that drake was dropping and/or apart of hit after hit after hit,while kendrick was doing lil to nothing,being outdone by sean,meek,wiz etc
He's looked upon as not having to do that cause he's conscious or deep when really he never was deep at all and his whole style is bitten from andre 3k. Song's corny.
This is whom he always was. Real nikkas like pac would of said some hard hitting shyt rather it was pop or not.Sad to see Kendrick sell out like this for cacs![]()
same way i feel..i guess maybe when and where its played in the movie may change my mindthe song is cool. but when it says SOUNDTRACK FOR BLACK PANTHER.. yeah i expected more African Pride and raw edge.. this some bullshyt

Kendrick just used the conscious image shyt for extra props and so critics would judge him with kid gloves.
They graded him on a curve because he was "deep" and not talking about drugs bytches and hoes.
But he's just another mainstream rapper

What do you mean?
1.A better example would be How do you want it,an actual single as well. A record in which 2pac has fun asking a bytch what she wants but also puts some medicine in the applesauce by throwing shots at delores tucker and other political figures,getting to an entirely different subject.1What hard hitting shyt was Pac saying on What's Ya Phone #
I could go on and on but you in the red and hate on Kendrick like it's your profession. Here are the facts jack:2 Kendrick makes mainstream rap, which means he makes pop rap. Pac made pop rap. Hov made pop rap. Most of your favorites have made pop rap. The reason I give Kendrick dap is because he also releases conscious or thematically interesting/heavy music. DAMN has bangers and ladies tracks. It also has Yah, Feel, Fear, XXX, and Duckworth. You know who else made albums like that, ie a mixture of stuff for the masses plus some dope shyt with some thematic or emotional weight? Pac. Hov. etc.
The song is good for what it is.It's a song for a Disney/Marvel film. It has to be accessible and "poppy".

Pure genius
2. I have no problem with anyone being mainstream. That's not the issue here.
The issue is falsehoods.
Rappers whom get record deals but pretend they're still indy,so they can get extra credit for their artificial buzz which has been manufactured by interscope since 2011.
Then they push this conscious image to dodge the facts that their singles werent doing too good for many years and they didnt want to be looked at like they were lower than drake,sean and others.
Then he dissed a bunch of nikkas that he did music with,so he could garner attention that his music wasnt bringing
But didnt RESPOND TO a bunch of shots that came his way as if he was too pop to respond when some nikkas got at HIM.
Now he's a full blown pop act,which is what he always wanted to be.
