Maybe these nikkas will get the clue to stop "straying"
...Dude had a good blueprint going with GKMC,as a artist you can do what you want but if people prefer what you originally gave them how is it they fault
...Oh we should buy the old album
? Sometimes change of direction works and sometimes it doesn't
...I do think people don't hate this album as much as they put on though,but I think most of that is coming from all the classic talk from fans and critics....People feel like they need to go harder against this album because of all the praise.
And of course you have the Drake stans
...Lets not pretend Drake doesn't want the props and respect Kendrick gets from critics and legends at this point,dude is a student of the game and obviously does. Yall can hype up his success if you want to like that's the end all be all,but if he don't push out some classic albums soon whats he really doing?Besides waiting on the day a competent mainstream hiphop artist knocks him out of his spot and we forget all about that nikka
.?Lets not pretend that nikka aint been hanging on by default and weakness of his peers in his lane.
I mean besides a few people on the internet I don't think people really hate this album. Most of the people I talked to just said it was too different. Either Kendrick over estimated his influence or he gave rap fans too much credit to think they wanna hear some shyt like this. Some people when they listen to hip-hop just wanna hear hip-hop not all that spoken word, jazz, neo-soul shyt.
...I definitly didnt have the same feeling when I heard the beats on this album
Either Kendrick will feel he accomplished his goal and continue to do whatever he wants comfortably, or his confidence will be hurt. If he allows that to happen. shyt's gonna get worse before it gets better. Hopefully he's secure enough to realize that selling lower would be the expectation for such a left field album, and move forward.
? I now Doggy Dogg World might be a comparable trac we can use off top of my head....But lets be honest though too,you cant compare Snoop and Kendrick as emcees....Snoops flow lends itself to the beat,in the sense you can pretty much nod your head to Snoops flow even if he was rapping acapella
