Why can't Kendrick just make normal music like he used to.

It sounds good to me. But Kendrick is not dope on that album. A bunch of fake deep faux artsy pseudo socially conscious subpar bars. Like Wesley's Theme beat is fire but he aint saying nothing over that fire production. King Kunta = boo boo.

I hate when people say pseudo conscious. But then turn around and say dumb shyt like Future makes records that actually are about something.

What you really mean is a lot of it is over your head, so since you can't admit the man just might be smarter then you then he is a fake conscious rapper. I guess that's better then saying your too dumb to catch the meaning right?

WTF?! Who said anything about Future. What are you talking about. And no Kendrick Lamar def does not go over my head. He's not that complicated. Maybe to the simple minded he is. Dudes in here trying to talk themselves up like he's dropping some intricate sh!t. You're fooling yourself, but you're welcome to dikkride his average ass all you please.

No offense, but there's something wrong with you all who have this opinion.

It's like, you're not LISTENING. You hear the music, but ur not LISTENING.

You don't have to love it as much as the media....but there's something wrong if you say it's horrible.
I would like it if it was a novel but it's just not good to my ears

Dudes last album got praise by his peers and went platinum. Why would you fix something that ain't broke?
Kendrick could put out an album with dead silence and those same people will praise it as a masterpiece.

Kendrick is no longer an artist, he's a symbol, an object for the intellectually insecure and disingenuous. Fake deep nikkas use Kendrick to fool others into believing they're smart and suburban and hipster cacs use him to look cultured.

You can see his support isn't real because the praise is always a little bit too extra and his numbers don't back up the hype.

He's supposedly an artist who everyone loves yet he sells less than JCole and is too scared/not popular enough to go out on tour.

nikka I looked through all the smileys to try to find one to describe how stupid this post was. God damn b, you really feel like these two albums are ANYWHERE close to the same situation?

another thing to consider is you don't have to like a song to objectively recognize what it is. TPAB was pretty flawless project in that regard. Example: I'm not a Lebron fan but i'm not going to say he sucks just to be edgy.

I'm tired of nikkas gassing up TPAB and sleeping on Tetsuo and Youth which was the real best album of 2015. Was both conscious, sounded amazing, Lupe spit insane bars. Lupe just doesn't have the media or label backing.

Brehs in here saying we don't like Kendrick cause we only like mainstream club shyt:duck:. nikka how is Kendrick NOT mainstream. Got white talk show house parading him out every night:heh:. If he was saying some real provocative shot you think white ppl would be bigging him up like that? Stop fooling yourself. Ole fake ass coli militants.

What y'all basically saying is "if you don't like jazz funk you have low quality music taste":camby:.

You can be a conscious rapper and sound great at the same time. It's not something where you have to pick one or another. Bottom line is TPAB sounds terrible :umad:


TPAB will stand the test of time..... in 20 years all these trap beats will sound dated as f*ck

T&Y was great.

Eitherway nothing all these posters complain about will change....

There's one poster in here who is envious of Kendrick, Cole and Drake getting top billing

He pops up in every thread talking down on 'em and their fans

TPAB was not in anyone's constant rotation a month after it dropped. Even Kendrick stans. It will not stand the test of time

I wouldn't call it horrible, there are a few songs I'll go back and listen to from time to time, but it was definitely a forgettable album for me, and I say that as a fan.

1. I'm not a Stan. Check my record on Kendrick
2. The response below is much more credible and sensical than the reasoning most of you give.
