Somebody help to me like Kendrick Lamar's music

[Fmju]

Listen to Overly Dedicated, Section.80, & GKMC as a whole. They're really complete projects with only a few weak songs in my opinion.

Alright, so just to clarify I like pretty much all rap music. I listen to it all from Wu-Tang, Ghostface, Dre, Nas, Outkast, DMX, Biggie, 2Pac, Em, down to ignorant stuff like Shawty Lo. I like old No Limit/Cash Money up to French, Drake, J. Cole, Wale, Big Sean etc. I even like some of the newer underground guys like Logic. I'm leaving a lot out obviously, but you get the point..... I've been buying rap albums since MC Hammer and Fresh Prince.

BUT, I'm not getting this Kendrick Lamar hype. I think he's tremendously skilled in terms of rhyme schemes, patterns....BUT his music is just boring to me....his monotone delivery. Nothing jumps out at me. I tried to listen to it in a more low key, calm setting so I can get into better and still dont like it. I think he's creative in the way he tells his stories and it's clearly different from typical rap.

What am I missing?

I'm almost feel like it's just the popular thing to do. I've talked to people I know who dont even really fool with rap music but they're like, "oh yeah, I love that Kendrick Lamar album" I'm just like Really, all the good rap music out there that's good and you dont like anything but this(critically acclaimed) album?

So I ask.....what's a great song of his I have missed or need to re-listen to? What's some background info on the song? I'll give it one more shot

His voice is definitely something you have to get used to
I will say that Section.80 and OD both needed time to grow on me

But I can't understand why you would find GKMC boring unless you had ridiculously high expectations. Listen to Kendrick Lamar EP and his old mixtapes as well.



The passion in those verses is just Don't think I've ever heard something like that in a while

Props. Never heard that track before, that's hard. And maybe it is his voice b/c it sounds much different in that song...and I ike the beat he's rhyming over.

I'll check out the other stuff posted in here too. Maybe I need to work backwards.

Thanks.
