Vince staples makes better music and doesn't make Nicki Minaj sounding rap voices and he's conscious and dope as fukk lyrically

"The sheets and crosses turned to suits and ties
In black America, can you survive?
They made a nuisance once the noose is tied
We gentrified, we victimized, we fighting for survival
No hopes and dreams, just leave us be, we leanin' on the bible
They preyin' on us, prayin' for a better day tomorrow
Hide the fear behind this here bravado"

"Why they hate us? Why they want to rape us for our culture?
They greet us, feed us, bleed us, then they leave us for the vultures
They break the grill, get off with millions, tryna to break their focus
More tan the man, the more alone and hopeless"

And

If someone claims their music opinion is objective then you can write them off immediately. I would point to the insanely high ratings from "respected" media outlets, 11 grammy nominations this year alone, staying relevant without beef or over saturating the market with his music, Alright being a source of empowerment for SOME people during these fukked up times and his great live performances as validating his success as an artist.....but that still doesn't mean shyt to people who have their minds made up. If you don't like it thats fine, but if you can't respect it then you could just be salty.

dap and i tried to +rep but couldn't because i already did recently :salute:
i got around to checkin' this album out after good kid m.a.a.d city came out
i'd heard of kendrick but i hadn't taken the time out to check his music out until good kid m.a.a.d. city came out
:salute:I would say most of his listeners and fans listened to S80 after GKMC. Man were you in for a surprise if you listened to S80 after. :wow:

this thread was about Rocky? :jbhmm:

Those lines you posted are sophomoric on paper. It would help if you actually explained why they're so deep to you and specifically why they're the deepest you've heard since 98 Mos Def. You know... the actual receipts I've been asking for.

no, but i asked you to provide some quotes of rocky's since you think so highly of him and here you are tryin' to wiggle ya way outta of it :lolbron:

it's all good, bruh. i understand :laff:

i ain't botherin' to explain shyt to ya ass because i posted quotes and here you are askin' for more even after i asked for you to drop some quotes :mjpls:

this is pointless because this is a troll post from you, i see through ya bullshyt, bruh. clear as day :pachaha:

yeah Kendrick is vanilla as hell. he sure as hell isnt wack per se but bruh might be the most boring "superstar" we have seen in the genre. I couldnt muster more than 2 or 3 listens of that last album

*looks at user's screename* :mjpls:
yeah, because doom is an interestin' muthafukka :mjlol:

Respected like who? Pitchfork? Rolling Stone?

Listen breh, there is no respected hip hop media outlet of today. Lettuce be reality.

, 11 grammy nominations this year alone,

You care about the Grammys now? :jbhmm: I could have sworn that Duckworths were telling us how the Grammys don't matter just a year ago :jbhmm:

As a hip hop fan, I refuse to give a fukk about the Grammys. I never have. never will.

staying relevant without beef or over saturating the market with his music

his record label stays oversaturating the web with paid critics and paid posters

Alright being a source of empowerment for SOME people during these fukked up times

if only the protesters can get past that 1st verse....

and I'm pretty sure the protesters were blasting other hip hop. Doesn't mean shyt.

and his great live performances as validating his success as an artist.....

his live performances only mean shyt to those who already like him.

but that still doesn't mean shyt to people who have their minds made up. If you don't like it thats fine, but if you can't respect it then you could just be salty.

:duck:

I couldn't stand Drake for the longest time but he's actually made songs I can enjoy. I give props where they're due. That's what we do in hip hop. Duckworth has yet to impress me on any level. When he does, I'll give him his props. Till then, he's wack as fukk. Sorry. No one's 'salty' or 'mad'. I don't know him personally and his actions have no bearing on my life whatsoever. Why the fukk would I be mad? :what:
