The leadup to TPAB had me thinking Kendrick was about to drop a *lyrical* masterpiece where he was going crazy on every track. It ended up being a *musical* masterpiece, but I still feel okeydoked to this day with that whole "best rapper alive" rollout and ain't looked at Kenny the same since :francis:

After Cole dropped Miss America and that one promo video, I thought Born Sinner would be a classic





i thought born sinner was dope, but that trailer video with the song at the end i'm still waiting for that full song to drop. it's been over 10 years, and i heard he never releasing it to the public. something about the beat was too powerful compared to what he rapped on it.

every album after born sinner i was waiting for it, but i gave up that ghost

That's how you know the industry is dead. People cry about how rappers don't make good music anymore. How lyricism is dead

The Herbert album comes out and gets little to no fanfare

Rod Wave has sold out stadium tours

Not that Rod is bad. Just shows what "fans" value these days
It was always this way breh.

I don’t have a song to prove my point but I thought after Proof died Em would go straight Hip Hop on his next album. cut out all the corny dumb shyt and drop a serious straight up Hip Hop album to honour his friend and the culture he loves. Still has yet to happen and at this point it never will.

Wasn't it around that time Em was supposed to drop an album titled King Mathers?
