Kendrick would probably tell you himself how Em is in influence

The production is dope but him as a rapper ehhh we need better rappers on their type of beats is all imma say. Not just niggas who let the best carry them

This guy just said Luther sounds like Taylor swift. He might have worms for brains

You right but it’s some classics on here

how is it yall always end up with my d*** in yalls mouth f***ing dorks

What albums are these

Obama was a great speaker :vlosereave: we must stay focused brother. the joke stands lmao

that era of rap was gta 5

its taking longer for the next generation to come because of that, its that simple

kendrick is inspired by eminem among many others, he is mainly influenced by wayne and andre though, he doesn't sound like eminem at all.... eminem did not create a wave of similar sounding mcs

also the original argument that the marshall mathers lp ruined hip hop is ridiculous, even if kendrick were an eminem offspring (which he clearly isn't) that argument would still be dumb, especially when y'all name kendrick as the prime example lmao

Paris Texas

1 album and 2 EP’s

Before the pop out he made it a point to play Eminem, Wayne, Andre 3k and Pac because they are the four artists who influenced him the most

Just Ye tbh as good as Kendrick is/was--prime Kanye had it all. Real hits/timeless classics, real classic critically acclaimed albums, huge popularity, huge influence, GOAT performances, GOAT videos, GOAT rollouts. There was only one Ye

I don’t really get this take.. not that I’m such an avid listener but from my time researching her music around the time it was rumored she got signed and after she always made a variety of music and different sounds.

Plus if I’m mistaken wasn’t the anxiety song an old song /freestyle she just reworked and released? I thought that was the lore behind it.

I get that sometimes having such a big popular record can polarize certain fans but I really don’t see her fanbase as so “hip hop”

Yea it’s a lazy take anxiety is years old

Kendrick doesn't have real classic and critically acclaimed albums?

Sounds like you’re literally describing Kendrick

Thats one of 7 things I mentioned lol

I like to commonly say that kanye west ruined music for me

Only song I didn’t rock wit much was Humble after it got a bit overplayed. But it’s an effective “pop” album from Kendrick. He showed niggas he still had that hit bag if he wanted to.

Plus it’s so many great songs on there that are authentic to Kendrick. It’s not a perfect album but overall I think it’s one of his best. And I wasn’t someone so high on it in compared to his previous joints when it dropped. But 2020 changed my feeling towards it.

Kendrick at no point has been anywhere close to Kanye in his prime, popularity wise. Plus his hit records are nowhere close to Kanye's hit records. But thats not a bad thing--Kanye's hits are in the top top tier. Only Pac, Dre and BIG can f*** with him in that category

kendrick is clearly influenced a lot more by wayne, andre and pac than eminem, even if he took inspiration from eminem he is not an offspring

also tyler was influenced more by subject matter and edginess than style, nicki might be the only true eminem offspring

sooo first of all... how is that a wave? and second, how are three of the greatest hip hop artists of the 21st century ruining hip hop?

I revisited to views yesterday and god damn that album sucks a few good songs tho
