Jan 31, 2016 that comment was in response to the kendrick fell off before GKMC sorry for laughing though, i get what you're trying to say though as i really enjoyed sxn80
Jan 31, 2016 I think its ok if you don't like it, but disrespecting the album is not fair, especially if you know your s---. like for example, some musicians still saying they don't like a single song, but they would still rank it among the best albums of the decade for its quality. There's a lot of albums I don't like but I'd still aknowledge them as amazing albums.
Jan 31, 2016 the kids that understand it but just arent feeling the music, thats perfectly fine yeah as long as its still respected
Jan 31, 2016 @VR46 help me out lol @Besky i get how much you love tpab, but trying to understand why people prefer GKMC would help the situation i respect your opinion also
Jan 31, 2016 Didn't kendrick say that he'll not make music like GKMC anymore and will continue going down this activist path?
Jan 31, 2016 I think his best has yet to come, but to me the bar is tpab. As I've already said, I never got the hype for gkmc, to me it was always just a decent album. I'm getting old and I feel like I experienced one or two more generations of hip hop and like I've already said, tpab isn't just a rap album, it's more than that and I usually compare it to some of my favorite albums in any genre...while gkmc is just a hip hop record and I can't compare it to the likes of illmatic, reasonable doubt, LS, atliens, ready to die. Gkmc is good when you compare it to the other albums of this generation, but I just didn't have that "wow" factor when listening to it, it didn't blow my mind the way Reasonable Doubt (or other great albums) did when I heard it in the 90s.
Jan 31, 2016 n----s wanna gas up Kendrick, who just dropped an egregiously overrated (that metacritic score is f---ing shameful) faux black empowerment album centered around the industry and corporate america pimping him as an artist, then immediately after release signs a f---in reebok deal (thinking he's gonna fix f---ing g--- related black on black violence with some f---ing overpriced corny shoes), then does a weak remix of f---in bad blood by Taylor Swift. Are you f---ing kidding me? That's the definition of hypocrisy. Kendrick literally doesn't do s--- to actually help minority communities on a tangible institutional and systemic level (cause that's the level where change happens)
Jan 31, 2016 You can tell he didn't have enough confidence at that time, GKMC really sounds like an album for the masses, it's like he just wanted to be popular before dropping his best s---.
Jan 31, 2016 and still he wasnt that popular lmao, how was gkmc for the masses ? if it didnt even touched drake's numbers for example
Jan 31, 2016 yeah that sounds about right i dont think i can handle another emotionally and racially charged album again tho
Jan 31, 2016 Lmao, and all that money he got from his deals go to Compton, it has already been provged that compton wouldn't be the same without him and dre...
Jan 31, 2016 thats exactly what I want from him. I grew up on hip hop and at that time, talking about what was happening in the world was the most important thing in hip hop. And btw, I don't think it was a racially charged album, not at all.
Jan 31, 2016 i think he means compromising his accessability like kendrick made songs with lady gaga, drake, hova and s--- but it still had the kenny we all love in it
