How was he mediocre? Just because you don't find it entertaining doesn't make it mediocre. An average fan might get bored of it since they are looking for club hits

and alot of random jazz sampling
you know that doesnt make sense right ? :ufdup:Im sure half of what you call "random sampling" is live instruments, especially knowing thundercat worked on this.:dahell:
Do you think movies without gunshots are boring aswell ? :dahell:

It was amazing to me!! I still play it in the whip. Don't really care too much for what rappers like Drake etc. are putting out.

I want rap music with meaning, themes etc. Not just money, cars and hoes. Thats why I love J. Cole, Big Krit and K. Dot.

Check out his features on Compton I think that's more of the Kendrick you're trying to hear.

I think the problem with most fans of his was they didn't want to hear him experiment so early in his "mainstream career". I honestly think that had he waited until he was more established on a Kanye like level this album would've resonated better with his fickle fanbase. Me I'm a blind stan of his so I'm fukking with any of his projects regardless

He's been AWFUL. He was awful on Flying Lotus, Awful on These Days, Awful on the Bilal album. TPAB is what it is but he's fallen from grace crazily IMO. I don't even like him at all anymore.

I'm about to play the new Dre album and see what he's talmbout on it but I have low expectations.

There are are quite a few reasons. I wouldn't call it boring but it isn't getting the rotation I thought I'd be giving it. D'Angelo's album gets more burn. :patrice:
Bet. So you dislike it for non-jazz related reasons which is different from the OP
