not quite. i thought Tpab was going to be that album too but there is a interview with Kendrick after Tpab came out saying he has to inform people through his music the devil is on a mission even though he knows a lot of people don't wanna hear about spirituality
"i remember i was 17 wishing someone would sign me, now the only way these labels get me back is when they rewind me" ahhhhh toooo fire dude is too nice man
Lmao getting money said "privileged kid" like he knows everything you've gone through just don't comment to start shit unless you know you can finish it
Matt Caleb Who said I wasnt? I love running my mouth online because im so scared of fucking day light. 😂😂😂😂 Im so scared of a lor ass pos on youtube. AHAHAHAH im done keyboard gangsta
Not really its just a regular verse but it means something because Kendrick said it chief keef could come up with those lines it's just like regular drill rap lyrics
Everything .L.K. i'm with you man, the most i could piece from it is that talib kweli and common are conscious rappers and that's the only side that critics see from him
+Daniel Torres hell yea for real kendrick lamar is a real nigga he's a God/GOAT. and my favorite album was section 80.that album still goes hard Even though it was released in 2011. everyone should support kendrick lamar.
He already had recognition in 09 when he was cosigned by lil wayne and made c4. also Kendrick Lamar ep was very sucessful and put him in the position to drop dedicated and section 80. All his work in the game is what got him famous. He even came out with a tape in 03 when he was 16 called h.n.i.c (head nigga in charge)
he been famous since his very first mixtape minor of the year doing songs with freeway and Joe budden he just didn't started getting known till his mixtape O.D.
breathing exercises.. breath really deep for like 3 breath then try to blow a thin stream of air out your mouth (like a coffee straw) for as long as posible... shoot for a minute or more. after awhile that relates to how much breath you let out when you rap/sing
+Nate Keating I know right, most of these idiots today are rappers, kendrick is.. on a completely diferent platform alone by himself.. this isn't rap this is knowledge god
I think Kendrick's wordplay is better than tupac, but only because tupac was not a lyricist to me. Tupac didn't put much emphasis on wordplay, maybe metaphors which strengthened his messages in songs. Tupac has flow, emotion and spoke more directly like he was talking to you. Kendrick is less direct and reminds me of a nas type of rapper, he wraps his emotion in lyrical flair and skill. But that's my opinion though.
TCB * go read any of Pacs notebooks, for as grimy and thuggish as the legend acted he dearly and deeply wanted peace within the black communities, even if he couldn’t always be the perfect poster child for it. Born to a black panther and speaking constantly on the need for peace between the people, I think he would have had the utmost respect for a young black Male pushing the gang / color banging shit aside to put the talent first. He would’ve had no disrespect for who Kendrick hangs with, with how Kenny has managed to bring soul heart and lyrics to a new generation and ignore the gap between reds and blues or blacks and whites for the sake of a better future.
kendrick is a top five rapper. I believe that he is not up to the level of skill that tupac has or the fame and recognition that Jay z has. Rei Afalava's comment was legitimate in all aspects accept for being overatted. He has earned his fame and recognition. This should be respected.
I feel like that's some textbook stuff to say, kendricks flows are better than pac, everyone is so stuck on pac when he doesn't even that much offer other than a street legacy.
absoluteform3 Pac isn't one of the greatest for his "flow" he did not live behind just a street legacy, I'm not saying you haven't listened to him before, but I do suggest you listen to everything he has to off, Pac was great for his lyrics and the passion he bring with every song he did, not only that but he had a personal connection to all his fans that in my opinion no other hip hop artist has ever had, all of pacs songs tell a story, do you know how great he would be if he didn't die at only 25? People know his age but I don't think they realize how great of a person he would have become if he would have lived a full life, without a doubt he would have had a major impact on the world today, he was pretty much in the rap game and movie industry for only five years, imagine what he would be like now?
Older rappers such as tupac and biggie started rapping about what was going on in the streets before anyone else really the created what ONLY SOME rappers rap about today and no one can compare to what they did. They changed what rap was forever. And if you live or have experienced what they were rapping about then it really appeals to an audience. That's the difference between rapping about pussy money weed. I personally prefer people rapping about meaningful shit I could give a fuck about the bitches you fuck and the weed you smoke cus that shit don't make you real. "Real recognize real." that is how it is. And how it will always be. Period point blank.
Listen to blu & exile maintain it'll change your perception of the word meaningful. I never said kendrick don't rap about meaningful shit either. There's just so much more no one knows about. Don't have to take my word for it tho.
and they say drake is better than Kendrick... Kendrick speaks the upmost truth in his lyrics and I'm proud to say I lived in a time where we say greats such as Kendrick
+Rafael Mott idek like i literally have all his music and shit and i was just going threw comments on a different vid and saw someone point this song out and i was like wtf😂😂
He never stops wit these hits this o.d album is crazy ....im in cali an my sis all the way in atlanta is inspiered by his music this man has a powerfull vibe ...
Daneaukush makes a really good point. Also why do people feel the need to put everyone and everything into a group? Sometimes I also wonder when some people have nothing good to say - They Just Point Out Grammar Errors!
eminem, 3 stax, possibly hopsin, wu tang on a good day, nasir, common, immortal technique....its all relative tho, cuz each track is a new face and a new day
I think in terms of word play Kendrick and Lupe are the best. in terms of flow Eminem is the best and in terms of most influential rapper tupac was the best nas is up there too with one of the greatest it all depends on what kind of rapper they are
EM -.......... flow .......???? what exatly is your definition of flow (no disrespect to eminem he´s still one of the best) and I personally think that a Kanye west is way more influential on our society nower days than the GOAT 2pac
***** old em and even some of new em's like rap god and berserk. But Jayz's new shit is horrendous. No lyricism no flow nothing. Jayz completely fell off bruh. As for j.Cole and Kendrick theyre doing their thing right now.
I read the words carefully. Now, I have better news for you, for everyone: God is love you, when you get to know him as your heavenly father, your life changes, for ever as you know your sins are forgiven: for God so loved the world that he gave his only son that anyone who believes should not perish but have eternal life. Just ask Jesus (Jeshua) to come to your heart. He did take your punishment of sins when he was on the cross... Why should you suffer anymore for them: eternal separation from love and your creator, sickness... All this Jesus took on himself. Say thank you, accept the free gift and have a new start - and eternal life. He is alive! He rose from the dead and He will come back again. Soon!
I really don't see why people hate on him. guess its just the shine he's getting. I can care less about that or what he does on the features. As long as he brings heat on his own projects. Me being from the west coast, I enjoy seeing a different culture with the way hip hop is looked out on this side. No need to be gangster anymore, a lot of west coast lyricist. Ab, k dot, blu, murs, dizzy, a lot more that i can name but you get the picture.
I remember having summer school with kendrick back at Compton centennial and I had his first mixtape HNIC and I thought he was weak. boy was I wrong. 💯
Are you kiddin me? Hopsin kills it in every song. He disses all these whack rappers, which means most rappers today. How can you possibly hate on hopsin? He's one of the best in the game
A lot of mainstream rappers have deeper meaning songs like this, but no one takes the time to look into their underground music. Do it and you'll find a whole new world! I promise.
This song gives me chills its so real. He's do lyrical an lyrically talented. Anyone hatin can stfu cus Kendrick Lamar might have mainstream but his freestyles an mixtape a go hard. Every artist has mainstream. Unless they unknown an sorry. Loll.
His perfection comes from the meaning of his words not from his rhymes. His vocabulary is so amazing that he finds words to rhyme while he puts meaning into it instead of using basic words and putting n*gga at the end of every line.
