Let me put yall up on some game right quick.
1. You dont get a second chance at a first inmpression. While Kendricks first album was highly praised and it deserved it ...when he drops the second album people are going to be waiting to tear it apart and say it not good. 50 cent sold 13 million on grodt then 10 million the massacre. That wont happen again but it dosent mean he cant make a hit song ...I bet the rest of my life kendrick and 50 can make a hit song. They dont have to prove that from the mixtape game to albums.
2. It okay for him to take his time. Before the internet it was normal for an artist to take 2yrs to make the next album. I personally like that he dosent put out music everyday. It lets me know he is either touring or working on the album and just living life. Another artist that im waiting on ...is big krit pay attention is a nice record but its a record that is going to have to grind its way up the charts . You seem to forget that Kendricks first album didnt just go platinum out the gate ...it grided it way to gold then ...platinum. Its a grind.
3. Kendricks music was not radio friendly UNTIL he started to sell copies ...then the label got behind it and supported it. 50 cent said he noticed this when he was on interscope. They didn't expect him to do those numbers. Even when you hear his the hit songs from the first album on the radio ...its like they dont fit cause the album is like a short film or is a short film. So expect the production to be a surprise ...and yes dre will have a song or two on the album. Hell Its rumor that rick rubin is doing some production on the album as well. Let kendrick cook.
4. The anticipation is only building cause his first album was a great body of work. If his first album was trash would this thread have been made ? I doubt it so let him live life, travel , tour , buy land , kick it with his family , go back to compton and im brace the people that supported him from day one. He gave us overly dedicated, section 80, Good Kid Mad City , cartoons and cereal , and controll , and countless features the year his album came out that surpass at times the artist that got him on the track. Its not about when will the album drop ...or is he better than drake (which im sick of hearing) or will his second album be better than his first ? Some of yall sound ungratefull like he dosent deserve the praise he has gotten ...me personally im just hoping for a great body if work a cohesive album. Last I checked he dosent have anything to prove ...hell he was even snubbed at the grammies.
