Video: Jidenna Feat. Kendrick Lamar - Classic Man (Remix)

[James Dean]

Lot of hate for Jidenna I see. Only on the coli would I see nikkas hating on another man for getting fresh 100% of the time.

Like its a bad thing. This was the Norm back in the day. Hes paying homage.

Hes a cool cat. Not talking about BS, dressing smooth.

I dig it.

Fun song, fun remix. You can tell by the vibe in both videos.

Some of yall spazzing.

 

[UpAndComing]

See, TIP would have killed this.

Ross would have laced this.

Ye would have killed this

Big Sean. Common. Pusha T. Andre 3000.

...even fukking Jadakiss.

THEY know how to be SMOOTH

the name of the song is CLASSIC MAN.

Kendrick is rapping like he's a "blue collar man" or some brash shyt.

its the complete antithesis of the fukking feel of the song.

Look at this nikka flow horribly over Biggie instrumentals

 

[Kenny West]

Look at this nikka flow horribly over Biggie instrumentals

thats cause he was using tpab verses in the freestyle

 

[AMcV'88]

song is for males that secretly liked Fancy.

only rapper that could have did it some justice was Andre.

outside of joints like Nosetalgia, i find it hard to care for Kendrick features that aren't for his team.
his style is starting to get grating when the music is not taylor made for him.

It's like J Coles remix of Beyonces "Party"

or Cole on that Jeremiah joint...just pointless.

thats cause he was using tpab verses in the freestyle

and even then he was the worst thing about his own album.

edit-actually the Pac bit was

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

I fukks with Kendrick heavy, but dude didn't really "flow" on this, imo.

I just heard about this Jidenna dude yesterday, when Joe Budden mentioned him on his podcast. Is dude legit or a one hit gimmick?

 

[Big Boss]

 

[RhymesWell]

fukk a Kendrick hater, his verse goes

 

[RhymesWell]

And I wanna sniff Janelle Monae's butt

 

[JohnStarksMiddleFinger]

i like wearing suits occasionally but now it makes it such a gimmick - but its better then 99% of the subject matter out here

King c00nta couldnt clean up for this vid though ?

Don't worry the nikkas who are going to jump on the suit wave, will refuse to get their clothes pressed and tailored.

Making the serious cats look extra clean

Most nikkas singing this song don't even know how to make a tie

 

[Supa]

I'm not saying he's unintelligible. I'm saying that his way of rapping just blurs by. theres nothing memorable in the verse. Its empty.

Yeah, wtf was he talking about? He didn't even try to match the song. The original works because Jidenna and Roman flowed nicely and the words had clarity. It's meant to be catchy and something you can sing along to. Kendrick just said nothing rapidly. I've noticed how I'll like his music on first listen but it has low replay value. Once you get past his flow/voice changes you realize that his lines don't hit hard. He's smoke and mirrors a lot of times.

If the verse isn't tight rap faster and they'll never know

Fab, Kiss, Pusha, etc know how to tailor a verse to the subject/mood. They will give you a few stand out lines.

He's Janelle Monae's artist. Not that much material out to really judge.

 

[N.J.stan]

Original was better, but this song is already played out

They did that Roman dude dirty though. Went from being the feature to getting a 5 second cameo towards the end of the remix video

True story

 

[Walt]

It's astounding how awful popular black music has become. This is like mentos commercial bad.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Good to see Janelle on her CEO shyt, she really putting her squad on. Got to respect that.

And the track is hot
