Proof that Kendrick Lamar's hype is fabricated duck tales

[mbewane]

Hey, I'm not deluding myself; people love this cornball brother.

I sat down and listened to GKMC the other day and tried my hardest n/h to get it, but I just can't see why that album was dikkridden into bolivian. shyt is lukewarm as fukk.

Same here breh. I really enjoyed Section 80 but GKMC was a letdown for me, still don't understand what people see in it.

I could only listen to that shyt once... its just not that inspirin on any level.
I dont think people in America love dude at all... I never heard it in a car, only know one nikka with the album, and no nikkaz that actually listen to it. Sadly Ive seen more actual Wale discs in peoples collection. heard more Wale comin from people's cars than this fake ass shyt.

if he was a 90's rapper he wouldnt be talked about. He dont have the music or charisma to shine without this exact machine strategy. If he was a 90's rapper,he'd be one of them bums with ads in every magazine but still flops. And his songs would look even weaker against nikkas covering similar subjects in a much greater fashion

the disconect from reality in this post is staggering. but no surprise coming from the guy who thinks TRU is better than wu tang

I have to try it now with all the talk it gets in the booth. He hasn't really been for me so far. Can't really rock with that voice. Listened to a song called money trees earlier and that was alright cause it was funny.

That being said though, in that video, all I saw was a bunch of cameras raising.

Dude sells a million albums, has a song go plat, a song go gold, sells out shows around the world, had ESPN quoting a verse from a throwaway song, but no one has his album, bumps his music or knows who he is.

Basically you make a movie out of GKMC, the creative innovation and effort put into the album is what most appreciate about the album.

I understand all of that (this what is praised the most out of the album) but...if I want to see a movie I go and see a movie. That, and honestly I feel all the voice changes and some of the lines are corny. And what creative innovation did the album bring?

The album-as-a-movie thing is not easily pulled off, only one I can think of that I enjoyed was Prince Paul's "A prince among thieves".

He didn't just write verses and went to the studio and had Pro Tools sessions. The creation innovation I see is the concept of the story he's illustrating. It's cohesive and nothing feels like it doesn't contribute to the story. I see no filler during the narrative. Real is the track that ends the narrative on the album. After that its back to present time.

You may not appreciate albums like tha but many do and it's one of its reason for the critical acclaim.

90s yes he would, why because it was plenty of lyrical elite selling albums n getting love, we talking about a time where coolio was going platinum, you cats trying to make it like Kendrick couldnt have made it , when Tag Team, 69 boys both made literally the same song n both went platinum, you had gimmicks like C+C Music factory.

Pac wasnt mention as an elite until he started catching cases and shot up, before that, Pac wasnt no different than E-40, Spice 1, or Mack 10, nobody really gave a damn, you bought what you wanna buy, boosted album sales even more with columbia house and bmg hustles.

You can scream Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, Biggie, and Pac all day, but Hammer and Vanilla Ice was going diamond, so nobody back then gave a shyt about being elite and lyrics, Poor righteous teachers, Kane, Rakim wasnt seeing Hammer or Ice sales, if they were that elite, rhyme shoulda been payin.

Kendrick could've been elite and sold records at the same time, Cmw, Quik, 2nd II none, Hi-c, Wc, Coolio nem did have to struggle to sale records once nwa kicked the doors down. Kendrick would have sold and been elite just off the strength he was a different kind of rapper like d.o.c was be4 the accident, Kendrick being with dre now vs dre back then, and knowing both doc n dot are both lyrical kendrick would have been 2nd rapper behind d.o.c to have an album entirely produce by dre. Something nobody else has had since 89. and Doc was from West Dallas Texas.

80s, he wouldnt because the east hogged the scene back then, other regions didnt get shine til the 90s.

I said talked about as being elite, like as one of the best artists, if Big, Pac, Nas and Jay were all out I'm sorry but he wouldn't be looked at in the same bracket as them. I don't feel Kendrick is lyrically elite at all, I don't even feel he's good lyrically, and he's nowhere on the level of a Nas or a Jay. He's nowhere on the level of a Big Pun or Big L. My personal opinion is Kendrick wouldn't have been talked about as elite, I have no idea whether he would have made it or not, but he wouldn't have been as big, I guess I feel he would have struggled with the competition. He isn't the most commercial nor is he the most lyrical, he wouldn't excel. Coolio was dope to me on the first two albums and he had some massive major hits too. Ok.. but I take Pac's first and second album over Kendrick's anyday, the 3rd was Me Against The World. The first had Brenda's Got A Baby and the 2nd Keep Ya Head Up as singles. Originally I wasn't even talking about record sales, I was talking about being mentioned as an elite MC, no-one looked at those two as elite MC's. But record sales wise I think there was more commercial music that would have done better than Kendrick then too. You getting it twisted, I'm talking about being an elite Mc not record sales, the two are obviously not synonymous. We all know who was looked at as the best from the past eras. Lol a lot of the rappers you talking about weren't mentioned as elite, and Kendrick isn't even as good as them lol. But you have your opinion and we're not gonna agree I don't think so it's all good. But my point remains, no way in the 80's would people say Kendrick was as good as Rakim or Kane and i the 90's no way as good as Pac or Big. And those are just two of many from those two eras.

Some of you need to go outside and chill out on this whole trolling thing.

I respect your opinion, but the whole thing really makes me feel like those pieces of contemporary art where you need a whole essay to explain what is so great about a certain piece of art. Personnaly, that's exactly how I feel about this album, people saying it's amazing and GOAT and whatnot, but when I actually put it on, I just don't see what's special about it, even from a "technical" point of view.

Just my opinion tho.

Stop acting like GKMC and Section.80 weren't classics. If Kendrick were a 90's rappers y'all would be dikk riding him endlessly with little slander. GKMC was even 80-90's esque. I don't see how anyone can honestly dislike Kendrick. well I take that back, nikka is the best in the game.

I doubt he would've even blew up like he has in the 90's.

More than likely, he would've been seen as a novelty act.His music would've had minimum intrinsic value to that 90's crowd.

We're living in the "famine" era of hip hop(Hell music in general).It's dry as a desert out here and the people are thirsty.These new cats are like mirages.Mostly backed and well marketed by the "machine" than they are talented.

D+ rappers from the 90's could hop in a Delorean and become B+/A- rappers in this day & age
