People when hearing TLOP for the first time: OH HE GOT FUTURE ON THIS???

That sums up everything

Is he from New Orleans

I didn't like this project that much

kendrick influence boutta start appearing next decade

Why?

It's not like he's a new artist too, GKMC came 7 years ago

no he's from florida. and i can name 5-10 others who sound nothing like future. melodic street rap isnt even future's lane.

???? Lol

its not easy doing kendrick type music
and it doesnt help that the wave rn is trap hooks and melodies
im sure next generation goats will cite kendrick as inspiration

what a lame excuse. its not easy doing biggie's type of music and you can find multiple artists who mimicked him. kendrick just not that influential.

It doesnt matter what the "wave" is lol an influencal artist should be able to change the wave and bring new things to the game

And why do you think the next generation will cite kendrick as an inspiration? Because there's mad new rappers doing their things now and none of them have been influenced in any way by Kendrick lol

Obviously lol

Good thing I purchased a Kyrie celtic shirt. I’m gonna look vintage af in like 2030

one of the greatest players of our time

I’m a Celtics fan so I’m obligated to hate on him.
Honestly wouldn’t even put him top 15 of his era

Ehh nah not really. Their lineages can be traced more back to Cash Money/No Limit stuff than anything else

Yeah, it can be argued. Too bad he’s never grown out of the sound that made such an impact

Well I’m a lifelong Lakers fan so him ditching Celtics is fine with me You guys got a really good team now tho. Enjoy the east before the slim reaper returns

When you’re an artist and it’s all said and done, time to hang it up and you can honestly say that not too many people have successfully copied your sound/made better s*** than you at any point in your career >>> intangible influence that white guys make a***ysis videos about on youtube

yea but that doesn't mean its all quality

The Celtics are a regular season team lol I wouldn't say they're really good

future barely raps about street sht. that's not his lane at all. these rappers sound more like kevin gates than future when it comes to content

You must didn’t bump 2010-2011 Future much

Breh how are u gonna tell me lol

I don’t have high hopes for Durant being back to his old self. He’s 6’10 230/40 and relies on his quickness a lot. That Achilles injury is a career killer.

I hope I’m wrong tho

I did a lot actually lol. I’m saying stylistically this new wave has more in common with the older southern scene than they do Future at any point in his career

Not knocking future, I’m a stan, but it’s pretty obvious based on the production and references they make he’s not their primary influencer
