gkmc is widely considered as the best album of the last 2/3 years for legitimate reasons.

VERY cohesive, well put together, complex level of rhythms, great story telling and imagery, the rest is about feeling.

so objectively ? yeah gkmc is praised for legitimate reasons.

I can see this guy has a ton of fans, but listening to his music has me wondering what's really so great about him. I listened to GKMC front to back and liked: good kid, swimming pools, compton, and the recipe. He tells some interesting stories but I don't see how he's super lyrical like so many of you do, and a lot of the stuff I listened to has no replay value for me because once I've heard the story I don't really want to hear it again anytime soon. When I go back and listen to "money trees" which as a whole song I don't really like, I'm more impressed with this guy jay rock(a good example of what I consider lyrical) than I am Kendrick. I know it's a preference but his raspy voice is annoying and he sounds like he records a lot of his material while taking a shyt, like on his control verse for example. He also seems like he specifically tries to appeal to females with most of his songs and overall he seems over-hyped like the game was when he came out before everybody realized he sucks. What am I missing? Put me up on his best material so I can understand why he's so highly regarded.
Thank You :blessed:

Kendrick is average as fukk, he wouldn't even be top 10 in a city full of spitters like philly. He ain't terrible but I have no idea why all these kids suck his dikk non stop. The bar must be set real low these days because a nikka from last decade like jada would bake his dumb ass in a battle. I would even say that papoose is better and would give him that work.
