Here's where I think alot of the post-GKMC backlash comes from. It has little to do with his talent but all to do with his style. This issues are:
1. He's incredible corny. From the sanctimonious consciousness to the crying on tracks, and the different voices. You can't help but go(This GIF usage doesn't reflect an endorsement of Drake) (Don't bring stan wars into this).![]()
2. His style is highly poetic. If every track he dropped was in the style of Hood Politics. This thread would be unnecessary. Instead, he favors a wordy poetic style with subtle metaphors that at times is the equivalent of audio![]()
4. Dude is crazy emotional. Alot of people aren't the type that want to connect with their emotions or the emotions of others. so when one encounters an artist like K.Dot, who pours pure emotion into every verse, it can be uncomfortable to regularly listen to.
5. People already have heard artists like blackstar, D'angelo, The Roots, etc. Dude doesn't get credit for bringing back that soulquarian style. He ain't really saying nothing new. In fact, I've yet to hear some mind blowing relevant ions or insights from K.Dot. His fans greatly exaggerate his Impact. TBH, I would say that Chance the Rapper is a more groundbreaking MC than Kendrick.
6. He along with J.Cole has brought on a resurgence of backpackers.
7. He's not that fun to listen to. Say what you want about future but there's something viscerally exciting about his music.
Your credibility is bushes status from this day forward.
