Kendrick Lamar "Poe Mans Dreams" appreciation..

[Pifferry]

I like Sec 80.
But not nearly as much as GKMC or TPAB on any level.

 

[Renegade47]

But anyway, this for my pops
On his lunch break, eating in the parking lot
On "Wanna Be Heard," probably thought he worked my nerves
But really he was stressing me, getting what I deserved
Somebody said my name on the radio
He ain't know I was ready for, the world that minute
So the next time he roll up and drop grams in it
He'll probably be out of work, laid back, while he

These three lines hit so close to home. Dad coming home tired, beat to hell working his job at NICOR, having to begrudgingly turn off heat/gas at people's houses in the damn winter, almost fukking with his health. Always pushing to me and my brother to follow our dreams and strive for better and never settle. Took me long enough to actually realize and put to practice what he meant.

Interesting enough on this same song, Kendrick kinda took jabs at people on this board who hate on him whether coherently or not; damn near five years later.

You think about it, and don't call me lyrical
Cause really I'm just a nikka that's evil and spiritual
I know some rappers using big words to make their similes curve
My simplest shyt be more pivotal
I penetrate the hearts of good kids and criminals
Worrisome individuals that live life critical
So won't you bear witness while I bare feet
So you can walk in my shoes and get to know me

Kdot.

this. all this.

 

[Renegade47]

Digi-Phonics SHOULD have the cache Noah 40 Shebib has but Kendra has no vision.

 

[Chip Skylark]

IMO Section 80 is still his best project

 

[Pinyapplesuckas]

I'm drunk

 

[GeeEffKay]

The project that really started his rise. Knew he was destined for greatness after hearing it

 

[stealthbomber]

It's stand out shyt like this that makes Section 80 my fav Kendrick project. GKMC is prolly more cohesive but I feel Section 80 has better individual songs.


Shout out to Chapter Six.

I find myself going back to this track on that album

don't forget this one



one of my favorites

 

[Ironman]

My favorite song

 

[SirBiatch]

I actually love this beat. I'll tell you what Kendricks biggest mistake was. He went away from Digi-Phonics as his primary production team. Those guys are ridiculously dope. Once he went with that new bullshyt his weak vocals looked funny in the light.


This song is better than anything in TPAB by leaps and bounds.

People pretend like us older folk are too flabby to recognize the dope shyt, when we were probably championing the artist before most kids were up on him/her. I was always lukewarm on Kendrick but his best material always had "Tae Beast" written somewhere.

The track in OP, and the following:







I dunno if the style/sound switch to the new shyt was
a) because that boom bap sampling shyt is expensive and difficult to clear, so might as well hit up HitBoy for that turn-up shyt. [maybe Rocky felt the same way when he did "Goldie"]

b) The new generation are too zombied-out on trap and trendy sounds. So you gotta water yourself down to come to their level. [also happened to Rocky with his debut album. All of a sudden you see way less Clams and nikkas like Rico Love and 40 who have no business being anywhere close to ASAP Rocky]

 

[AJtheOne]

Yea this is one my fav Kendrick tracks

I always liked GLC part at the end too

 

[T'Challa Trillmonger]

smoke good eat good live good

Yeah. I'm still posting on a site that made a bit of a scene about me admitting CACdom after years of speculation, seemless N Bombs and my math being broadcast for all to see. Ive yelled at Billy Ocean over the phone, N Word included and had him alert that alive one was outchea. I have hood dysfunction all over my resume but I eschew it because I'm almost 39. I grew up in a pitch black community when black people were arguably at their zenith of innate coolness. It's why I can call black people corny as fukk right now and mean it without violating. I say "speed on or get peed on" from time to time because a cat from Chicago who's long been murdered said it back in 1994. I had working relationships with weekend fiends because the alpha fiends were my peoples parents and would flip you upside down for your work. Sometimes they'd even go that extra mile of human deception to cling to decency.....instead of strong arm robbery they fake swallow the work at the first sign of a jake mobile. Human condition undefeated. I'm 150 pounds soaking wet pale as a ghost watching a brolic shooter puke up his guts to sell me on the fact that he can't vomit the crillz up. That's that shyt you can't unsee. That's that story that'd darken up the oscars if told properly. That's why I behave the way I do. That's why hip hop is incredible. That's why I make a thread about X Clan last night and one poster responds @hillsta. That's why despite me flagrantly saying the dreaded N word, intelligent posters of color, hood and suburban like me around. That's why SOBOTKA gang in the Prius last night was hood recognized and appreciated. Season 2 is godly btw. How the fukk do I even exist? I'm an anomaly to end all happenstances. I have rhymes I wrote in 5th grade that got me placed in suicide watch. Colin K to Cool C to Melanon to eat a dikk. Dave Winfield ran over my foot in the parking lot. I fukked Killa Sins baby moms when she was hot. And she don't fukk white boy's. Sin knew. He wasn't even mad. My wave is so pure. Only cacs j bow to honestly are Paul C, Graf writers I can't name and Eminem even though I'm more G'd up them Em. 3rd Bass are hands down the most credible white act recorded, ever. Serch is a sellout now though and Pete looks terrible and is a two bit crook. Em is the real deal in his bones despite his trailer park upbringing. I luckily am not white trash. I'm liberal CAC free love gone way left on some a ha shyt. Action Bronson would shake in my presence. Cower. Even super Wiggers like Ill Bill ain't seeing me. RA would be me if I could rap incredibly well but was innately a bozo. El P would get smacked in the face. Cage was a cab driver. Mighty Mi was a punk. Necro I never met thankfully. He has that CAC genome that propels clicky, reactionary kinda racist behavior. Jews from the projects that like rap and heavy metal equally? Gtfoh. I never even heard heavy metal growing up. I never even had CAC friends let alone a whole click. I had straight nikkas and ricans. How I'm so official I had a flagrantly gay neighbor named kishmere who made clothes in the early 90s? How we all knew he was gay but didn't speak on it? How I fukked his sister who may have been a tad slow but bangin physically? How I went OT upstate to sling work and was more scared in Syracuse then I was in Staten Island? How while in Cuse, we saw some other city cats trying to hustle too whose car broke down and they were terrified because upstate wolves are next level. One of those losers was albino like Krondon too. Straight loser. How I always maintained a shred of humanity when pumping crillz was the thing to do. Go through emotions of drug holding.


This is why I kinda love @SirBiatch. I hate missy, lil B and can't see the rocky genius. I can't even wrap my head around a 30 year old black male never having heard Bobby Brown or the first two Cube albums. I tend to loathe people who think Nas is the goat. But, there is something to be said for intelligent people who come to conclusions on there own terms. Thinkers. @Art Barr may be one of the most singularly insightful cats I've ever encountered on some rap shyt but he wild as hell. That's my thinker right there. He said some of the most intelligent, well thought out and useful shyt of his posting career, and make no mistake, he's wilt chamberlain of tap forums, when he addressed my N Bomb fiasco. And he ain't tell one lie. We spoke on the topic prior and he told me man to man that shyt won't fly on the road. I half agree. Who else? @Mephistopheles is a thinker. I used to wanna take his head off but he's a valuable man. @SunZoo is maybe the most zen cat on here. Dude is as racially adjusted as well to do CACs but he's been in bathtubs ducking strays and has only ever been pushed to the brink when defending Pacs honor. @Walt is my ace. He may be the smartest person I've ever met in any capacity. He's fuxked. Being that smart and black and tall and officially from where he's from has got to be a nightmare. He's like the inverse version of me but way more noble.

@Yoda is soft as hell but means well. He needs to cut that gay lingo shyt out ASAP.

@mobbinfms is mad vanilla. Like he likes my presence but has weird allegiance to an e gang and really seems taken with @Billy Ocean.


@charmander is the GOAT.

@Wacky D is a lesbian. Straight up. He a bull dyke fronting like a man.

@spliz cool but he kinda green. He love me though. N word be damned.


@funkdoc from jersey, the old head who pops up in my throwback threads and had first hand knowledge of early 80s hip hop is my favorite. He bodied somebody too, admittedly and lawfully.

@Juggalo Fred my other fav.

@hexagram23 wasy dude but he kinda wimped out on the n word bebacle. I think it's a geographic thing. NYC & KC are mad different. He love me too though.

@Ayo!-BEZ is loose. He'd swing for the wrong reasons. South shore islanders are loose. Home team.


@Iron Chin Wilder is my favorite. He'd love me in person.

@Hades thinks I'm a racist, and he truly thinks that, yet he is a moka only fan. He also stans Kweli, which is the tell that he'd crumble in my presence but the moka love speaks to a spirit of good.

@The Ruler 09 is the poster I least wanna acknowledge as an actual type. He's the embodiment of all things I loathe about late 90s teachers pet type fans mostly from other countries. KRS One my dude but he needs a consigliere to hit these marks with a switch from time to time.


@Malta is a basketball genius and I want an answer to my clipset inquiry. They play GS better than most teams. JJ Reddikk is a stiff CAC version of Reggie Miller. But he not as waify.

you wrote a whole analysis essay about thecoli

 

[Conscious Pilot]

The improvement from Overly Dedicated to Section 80 was leaps and bounds.

Always felt if he put this, ADHD and a few others and took out some of the weaker tracks of GKMC, GKMC would have been a certified classic.
