So kendrick finally got the spotlight he wanted

@H.J.Duck

BET built last year's show around Kendrick too. and most people didn't even know who he was.

the only difference between last year's show and this year's, is that theyre more out-in-the-open with it this year.

PLANT PLANT PLANT PLANT PLANT.

[Still Benefited]

Its just funny to me y'all gettin mad at Kendrick for OTHER people hypin sit up.....fans hype that kendrick verse on control because he named names and here y'all come "bu bu but it ain't even that hot,all he did was say names,fuk Kendrick,who he think he is".

Then fans hype up a damn 15 second snippet and think he gon be goin at Drake and hype up yet another verse they haven't even heard....and here y'all come back in a frenzy "bu bu but it wasn't even epic like I THOUGHT it would be based off that snippet,and he didn't even diss Drake like I THOUGHT he would,fuk Kendrick for not delivering on my imaginations expectations"


This will be a never ending cycle of Drake fans and Kendrick fans hating the other artist because the FANS and the media overate both them nikkas. Get mad at each other and the media,y u mad at the artist?

and that hi five was

aight... let me say this. I'll keep it 100%, to me GKMC is one of the dopest albums released in years. and since I've been following TDE since like 08 or something (mostly Jay Rock because he was "the man" back then, still payed attention to other 3, KDot was probably #2 on my list until Q & Soulo dropped their mixtapes in 09 ) I was happy to see Kendrick blow up and rest of em get more attention in 2011-2012. Imo they deserve it because they're talented and all of em had been dropping good music for some years.

now, Im aware some people here were talkin about all the industry plant bullshyt etc. etc.... i personally didnt care much / didnt think it was that obvious because like i said i had been following TDE for a while and was already pretty much fan of all 4 of em after C4/Gangsta&Soul/Longterm had dropped. i figured that if someone as nice as Kendrick blows up it's good for hip hop. it's not like ur forced to like/listen anything u dont like.


however, sometimes enough is enough..I mean the reaction to Control was understandable. the verse was dope, not exactly verse of the year status but pretty much the first time in years a mainstream artist challenged his peers like that.

however, what's not acceptable, to me, is when after Control dropped, BET decides (or Interscope & BET, who knows) to use Hip Hop Awards just to promote Kendrick. not even TDE, just Kendrick... like, I get he was the biggest rapper in the audience... but their entire show was about Kendrick & his verse. it's like they knew their "award show" was garbage so they decided to use the hype 'Control' created to get more ppl to watch. they kept showing Kendricks reaction during live performances more than anyone else. easily.

then the whole cypher thing... they leaked the 15 second video weeks before, started a hashtag #KendricksVerse days before the show and kept talking about it more than any award categories, live performances or other cyphers. plus for the first time ever they let someone use a beat everyone in the world knows in a cypher


i could keep going but the point is, that when a person who WANTS to see Kendrick win, sees all that, something is wrong. and stuff like that doesnt even help him like it's supposed to anymore .. because people are not THAT stupid. they can see what's going on. only way they couldve been more obvious if they had just said it's not an award show, but a "bet hip hop party featuring Kendrick Lamar" or something like that.

and the sad thing is, Kendrick's cypher verse was good, it didnt need all the extra hype, people wouldve gave him props anyway. now it just looks stupid because ppl callin it the goat bet cypher verse n shyt probably decided it was the goat bet cypher verse after the 15 second clip & bunch of tweets before they saw the cypher

All that wall of text for nothing....



The people who were calling the shyt the best cypher of all time were the people who attended the dn show when they recorded it. So like wtf are you talking about basing their statements off a 15 second snippet?

 

[OnDaScene]

I didnt watch the cypher yet but I just looked up kendricks lyrics from it and

"I’m the master that masturbated on ya favorite MC"

wtf

this nikka gotta go

Here we go with this industry plant shyt...

You nikkas stick to the same old script every time this particular artist gets buzz or recognition. Sound like a bunch of females complaining about the most popular girl in school stealing their boyfriends.

aight, forget that if it bothers you. because that wasn't the point. they set it up to be the main event of an award show, they built their entire +2 hour show around one verse & one person, that's my problem.

edit. and it REALLY becomes a problem when what they're doing is so obvious that people who have been Kendrick fans for some years are saying this.

 

[Mr. Somebody]

Oh Soooo you're saying he can only go in when he's on a cac show? fukkouttaaaaheeaaa. If he's the fukking King That nikka should be able to Rock and Kill it in a shytty hole in the wall spot. If he's the savior you nikkas say he is.

Are you from new york?

Ab soul seemed like he had no life whatsoever compared to how he reps himself on his albums.

kdot or the only artist who delivered at the cypher

Lol. I don't know if it's cause you nikkas take this shyt personally/to heart, but what does realizing that Kendrick's shyt was over hyped have to do with being a fan of his? Keyword here is fan, not stan or Drake hater.

I been rockin' to Overly Dedicated for the past 2 hours and I even got tickets to the Yeezus tour just to see Kendrick. None of that changes the fact that the shyt was over hyped and that Jay Rock out spit him (IMO).

And he may not have been hypin' it himself, but he didn't say anything to humble the hype. Dude was probably feelin' the shyt out of himself

Only to find out he only can get a steady stream of people talking about him when he mentions others' names. I hope he stops that shyt and just focuses on making good music.
