No offense gramps but you sound like a fukkin hater. Music is self expression and is meant to be felt by who it is felt by. K.dots purpose in life was not to make music that appeals to the standards of "bigbossman"


If u don't feel the music, that's fine.



Now kick rocks :youngsabo:

Here's where you and the poster you quoted are wrong.
i am an old head. and if you've seen in the past how i rate hiphop music from this site to sohh in years past. you know i dont play. i personally listened to the album. i'm on the westcoast. so i know a dud or a wack rapper, when i hear one. especially if they from here or repping the coast.

what i'm hearing is a poet. the guy is a poet. you can hear it. we dont have many of those left in main stream hiphop. in addition to that. you have an album where the dude is being honest. whether thats about self or he's reppin for other people out there with this lifestyle. the reason its honest and the reason honesty is a fresh approach. because its not being done in hiphop. the labels usually wont let that out. not in hiphop. if its hiphop. its rick ross lies and floss city. or its 100% strip club music.

You have lupe who was in full preacher mode. which is needed in this generation of hiphop.

and now you have KL speaking His truth as he's seen it.

he didnt make up coke tales, he didnt make up lies about having all the women, he didnt make up lies about having all the chains, he didnt make up lies about having all the cars. he didnt make 10 songs with a strip club beat and a strip club repeat southern hook.

the dude made music about life of a young nucca from the best coast. i'm here. been 15, been 21, been 25 before. so i can attest. the dude spit the truth down to the interludes. this is something i have been asking for, for YEARS. go check my history on here and sohh. how many times have i stated that i dont have a problem with dreamscape rap as long as there's some truth involved as well. the 2nd half of it almost never happens nowadays. thats why this album DESERVES the props its getting from these outlets. now granted it may be getting the industry PUSH. i dont care. its GOOD hiphop. it deserves it. Drake was not good hiphop yet it got a major push and shoved down our throats.

LUpe was good hiphop early on, even though i wasnt feeling dude yet. that got the critical acclaim just like this. why? honest hiphop is respected.

i know its been awhile since the industry allowed 2 albums to drop in the same year that are spitting a lot of truth. but it happened. stop crying about who pushed what. and recognize what the album is. more TRUTH then 90% of mainstream hiphop today. IS IT NOT?

if you cant say NO. then shut up and hop on the bandwagon and support. dont get caught up in semantics.

if XXL gave a 20 year old Nas a XXL but before that they gave some clown wack rapper a XXL. i wont say i think XXL is relevant. i was say that i believe they finally gave the XXL rating to the right mcee.

thats what we're saying with this one.

one last thing. i aint white. i'm black. i do hiphop. i am hiphop. i dont look at charts then go buy it based on what is trending. i only put my money on something that deserves a listen.

:rudy: @ this.

i dont even know why youre quoting me. was that an accident? because none of this is addressing anything that i said. i'll answer just to be on the safe side. i dont care about how you feel concerning this album or kendrick or lupe or whoever. thats not the point homie.

and its pretty evident that youre riding for dude because youre from cali. its like you typed up an article trying to sound impartial, only to give away your bias with this "best coast" ish at the end. okay buddy.:beli:


THIS.

POWERFUL POSTING.

these dudes take me out, the way they go overboard trying to hype up an artist strictly because of their content; completely disregarding the fact that the actualy quality is not up to snuff.

I've skimmed through some of the tracks and that shyt is sleep inducing.These new rappers are fukking trash. Classic LA/NY rap is gone for good.

Thank you!

Don't know what dudes on here are talking about with all the "classic" talk. Its not bad, but like you said very sleep inducing.

Something seems to be still missing from these albums nowadays.

Ah well back to the 90s records......

the album is good...but u know the only reason he got that XXL is because of his label affiliations.

In reality it's probably a XL album.
