Wasn't Kendrick's verse on Control supposed to change hip hop?

The shyt dropped over a year ago and nikkas still putting out the same music they were before.

Wasn't that verse supposed to be one of the defining moments of his career? It was supposed to change hip hop like Kanye did with his first album.

So what, if anything, has changed?

You have to be able to spit first. You hear the shyt that's out now? Cats aren't trying to be lyrical.

replay value is subjective fukkboi, I have only played mkl once and have no desire to revisit it again, its WOAT.

What we know though is that gkmc is the consensus 2nd best ahip hop album of the 2010s and it moved over 1 million copies.

... while yg's WACK music can't even outsell Oxymoron :laff:

just because everybody jumped on something "different" and "lyrical" doesn't mean it's gonna "change" or "save" hip hop.

Hell, nobody even said that outside of overzealous fans.

":gladbron: YEAH THAT REAL shyt IS BOUT TO COME BACK!!!!! ITS BOUT TO BE 1994, MY nikka!!!!"

The biggest genre changes in rap over the last 10 years were

Gucci Mane doing what he does
Flockaveli
Migos flow
Chiraq
Mustard on da beat, hoe

nothing "real" about that. Just fans hoping their brand of rap moves back to the forefront. Hell, I remember at the beginning of "Failure", Lupe was like "THEY SAID IT"S COMING BACK AROUND, MAN! Back To The Lyrics, Man. Back to nikkas like me. :lupe:"


I'm a fan of that shyt too. But for now, those days are done. It still exists, it just aint at the forefront.

The funny thing is that there was only 1 decent response... I never though control was that good (and it wasn't even supposed to drop, Kendrick was just freestyling over the beat & big sean released it to have more buzz)

but its crazy how control was still better than almost every single rapper who responded to it :dead:

Man I ain't talking bout sales.

I live in la, I'm at the clubs, I hear what's bumping in cars.

Kendrick's album was pushed by the corporate machine to white America. He went platinum off selling to white kids in the suburbs and to nerd backpackers that liked his lyricism. Straight up.

Fuk the sales, ya and nipsey album got way more replay value.

:pacspit:
