What exactly is Dom Kennedy's appeal?

[AB Ziggy]

Granted. I've only listened to The Yellow Album but it really was nothing outstanding. He seems pretty boring on the mic with barely any emotion.
The production is pretty good though. But I mean, I am just trying to understand how come people are so into him

 

[Koapa]

Its good riding music.

 

[Never Broke Again]

laid back fun whip music

he knows his lane

 

[PopOnCloud9]

Vibe music...good beats, catchy easy to learn lyrics. No complaints from me.

 

[West Coast Avenger]

not everyone is gon "get it", i hate to word it like that but it is what it is


it's smooth, its straightforward, the beats are banging, he represents himself and his area well, and most importantly he knows his fukking lane


too many rappers try to be everything to everybody and their tapes only got 2-3 heaters as a result. if you wonder who have the "cult-like" internet and in person fanbases, it's the curren$ys and the dom kennedys


also this thread has been made almost 15 fukking times since the yellow album dropped. yes, he gets more "lyrical" than he has on the yellow album. but no he aint no lyrical spiritual miracle double time style of rapping

 

[Kliq_Souf]

real shyt
No hook, u know we all about that rhymin shyt...Cash Money, independent Big Tymer shyt...

Dom and Curren$y are similar to me. Both aren't lyrical, but have good ears for beats and know how to ride those beats. They aren't for everyone though. You can even put old Wiz in that catergory.

[skinnytrees]
