Whats with the South African references ?

"Cape Town"
"Love me like Nelson"

Kendrick went to South Africa in 2014 and it completely changed the direction of the album he was writing at the time. He's said the level of poverty he saw changed his perspective on Compton and US struggles. Also the level of humanity and how nice the South African people were inspired him.

The production is just amazing. As with TPAB the songwriting breaks out from the traditional hip hop approach to song structure. I love how the first verse revolves around the guitar riffs, then the second verse is largely keys based. Then drums take over as the guitar and keys come together. All while Kendrick weaves in and out. It's amazing.

The D'Angelo influence is strong. The Dilla influence too. In TPAB I love how the sax comes in and out of tracks, or how you can hear Robert Glasper take over other parts of tracks. It makes for a very refreshing re-listening experience. Whereas most shyt is so static today, especially trap - same 808s, same sequenced hi hats, etc.

See...this irks me.

Dude's songs are content dense, but that doesn't mean he's the best RAPPER.

A dude like Hov can say way more with less words.

I think thats where fans of rap seperate imo. Some like the content dense stuff, some like the break it down simpler stuff.

Poetry as an art is like that too, people like different types

Kendrick is amazing. We need to appreciate his efforts because talents of his magnitude come around once a generation.
