Lessons From To Pimp A Butterfly

[SunZoo]

His overrating makes me judge his music harshly. IMO KDot is just a B teamer. The push to make him elite artist is

I understand what you're getting at but if Kendrick isn't elite (in this era) then who is? B teamer out of what pool of artists? J Cole is a fukking tuna fish sandwich and Drake is a pop tart. He's the perfect medium between boring and vapid.

Cats will consciously or unconsciously try to sandbag a rapper just because they don't like his "stans". That's kinda ghei.

No matter how deep or introspective a artist gets the more backlash he'll receive. Glad he went a different direction and created layers within a cohesive album kinda like Lupe did. If he woulda went the safe gkmc 2 route he wouldn't be getting this much shyt. I learned that this era of fans can never be happy.

It's just when u hear some1 supposed to godly on the mic I expect more. KDot get a lot of points along with Cole for their diverse subject matter. Drake is the only star of this Generation. Dats sad as hell but it's da truth.

I learned that people don't even listen to music anymore. Yall listen to machine beats. No appreciation for craftsmanship either.

Who said there was a lesson to be learned tho, you bum?

We just enjoy creative music..with actual content instead of shiit like "you could be big as madonna" and "in the 6 cookin with the wrist motion"

such a lame ass generation breh

it's funny when one song (wesley's theory) has more depth and meaning than 99% of rappers whole albums these days (including fukkboy op's sweetheart aubrey)

 

[intilectual recipricol]

My bad....I thought this was a serious dicussion. Carry on with the fukkey.

breh you was the one looking for a father figure in rap music ... your whole perspective is warped. You need serious help.

That Drake stans are male do-do chasers

He overthought it.....plain and simple.....great concept and idea, however, back to the "gym/studio" we go.

 

[iFightSeagullsForBread]

fixed. If we're comparing Kendrick to great rappers across the spectrum of hip hop, Kendrick is a D level artist.

For modern hip hop, C/B- level. There are lots of rappers in the underground that attempt to make songs just as 'deep' and spoken-wordy as Kendrick, but don't have any push whatsoever.

You call Kendrick a D level but have ASAP Rocky as your avatar.

Pretty much, and I ride harder for Rocky than almost everybody on here

Because Rocky is a better rapper than Kendrick in every single way one can judge a rapper.

The only thing D-level about Rocky are his actual rhymes. Everything else about him, the important shyt: beats, flows and charisma, is executed at an B+/A- level. And anyone who doesn't notice this is being nearsighted.
