Albums Kendrick Lamar - GNX (Official Album Thread)

[shopthatwrecks]

Kenny got nikkas in his own city riding with Drake. I'm sure he will be alright.



Album wise this is a solid body of work, really cohesive from front to back.

Snoopy n crip Mac share the same bytch raw .. that should tell u bout bleedin gum Murphy ass

 

[Yecht]

The best songs on here are him doing his best Pac or Nas impression.

That's the point. The best songs on any album should be the rapper sounding like themselves

 

[JoelB]

As much as Kendrick is praised as a super lyricist, he really has a knack for saying simple, catchy, phrases that stick with you and that people love to sing along with.

"We don't wanna hear you say nikka no moore!"

"..probably A-Minorrrrr!!"

"Mustaaarrrd!!!!"
And for me right now " Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, that's my bytch!"

Dude really knows how to balance between his different audiences. Can't wait to see him tour next summer.

Nah; you need to worry about your boy Embiid and not about Kenny right now, bytch nikka

 

[Guvnor]

That Luther joint make it the single.

Maybe Squabble Up next with Yg on the remix.

 

[ClutchVon]

TPAB is still his magnum opus, but I like this more than GKMC honestly.

we tanking for Flagg meanwhile u mortgaged your future for Mikal Bridges

plus yall dont have an answer for my zesty nikka

 

[Braman]

Just pointing out how fake yall are, but you cant help how you were born and raised


Ill speak the truth though for everyone else. Kendrick sounds like a fake ass Pac this whole album, and most of the beats either include samples of classic records (SWV) or were made to sound like old familiar songs (like One Mic, or the knock off NLU Mustard beat). He clearly ain't comfortable standing on his self-created "its just big me" pedestal on his own 2 feet after the pure trash that was Mr Morale - even despite slaughtering the Owl in the tiny hat and getting the Superbowl - so he tried damn near every cheat code possible to ensure he wouldnt completely fumble this momentum at the goalline.....


This album is microwaved chicken pot pie... mid ass comfort food


Don't worry though, that new Clipse album will be here soon to actually restore the feeling

You trying too hard .

Kendrick only has 2 highly overt samples- Luther and Heart part 6. This has actually been his MO, he did it on Poetic Justice. That type is sampling is only a problem when drill and mumble rap dudes do it and ruin it. Kendrick obviously ain’t that (and neither is Freddie Gibbs sampling Anniversary and Cupid )

Man in the garden is a flip. It’s not overt. And ironically he ‘made it to sound like Nas’ the same way your beloved Nas did on that same album, with Destroy and rebuild made to sound like the bridge is over. Also on that same album, ‘Rule’ is an overt sample of ‘everybody wants to rule the world’. Sampling and flipping like this has been a staple in hip hop longer than you’ve been alive.

[JoelB]

damn u got me

Spoiler

u rooting for a nikka name "big purrrrrrrr"

i dont wanna hear no fakkit jokes when RJ just left ya squad and KAT is still active

 

[TEH]

Agree with this except that Luther is the weakest track, I think it's the best melodic track lol

Kendrick to me still hasn't surpassed his GKMC days, those songs are still sicker than these songs if you compare them side by side. Just cleaner, better flows, more cohesive vision, more soul. Just sucks that to me that's Kendrick at his best, and people won't see that.

But glad it's getting treated well I guess

Saying Luther is the weakest is a true raisins in the potato salad comment. I know a lot of you didn’t grow up around black people.

This in bold says all we need to know about you, and your inability to critically think. So you get to determine who gets to do this? Log off and go c-walk down the street cuh

P.S. - I'm a known Gnauze hater. Yall really say anything to get these disingenuous points off

Have you ever took fade then ran 3 more back to back if you haven’t shut the fukk up and keep it rap
