A decade of hating. Get the fukkouttahere
:mjlol:

The only thing that kind of concerns me, perhaps on a small level, is the Dave Free stuff. He's smart, most of the shyt he did at TDE worked, loyal to Kendrick etc. But I can't help but look at that picture and immediately think about Suge's "all in the videos, all on the songs...dancing" line. This artistic vision is clearly his, and completely different from how Kendrick traditionally was from S80 to even DAMN. Yea perhaps Kendrick's style has simply changed or evolved which would be fine, but I just get the sense a lot of this is Dave.

Even when Kanye was going harder into art shyt he still had that "sophisticated ignorance" balance that kept him in tune with the streets. Anyone who has met Kendrick will tell you dude is straight up Compton. Not to say he isn't into art and shyt but...dude is Compton, and is literally surrounded by gang dudes. So you'd think if anyone could do the Kanye type balance shyt it would be him.

One other concern is that I haven't seen pgLang do anything outside of Kendrick and Keem. Both are doing well, they made a shyt ton of money on that tour that just ended (probably grossed at least 80-90mil). But this doesn't really seem like a label to me. They aren't signing people, Kendrick isn't doing interviews, there is no "crew" vibe, I don't get it.

So basically Kendrick is doing the exact opposite of the rest of the game. :blessed:
