Kendrick stans are so pretentious. His influence hasn’t fully flourished yet but it’s coming, don’t force it.

Some have influence straight out the bat like Drake Future. Some take a lil longer like Thug (it’s popping now) and Kendrick who’s influence is barely coming up, just wait nerds

Lol you salty about something

from the way he starts the 2nd verse repeating the same words and the pitch goes up and down - same as dna
the vocal sample repeating throughout the whole thing is similar to dna
similar flow too

"The recession wasn't conscious"

The culture is from the hood, which is why I fw with the hood s*** more, where we from. These blog/internet rappers Are cool and all, and if you like em that’s cool, but they ain’t it.

my nigga hes using migos flow and rappin on generic "trap beats"

bro WHAT

Drake, future, and thug much easier to copy. Just go get 40/metro beat and start experimenting with autotune and flows. Where do you even begin with tryna sound like Kendrick? Not tryna minimize them niggas talent but rapping like Kendrick not that easy. And TDEs production team changes sounds/styles a lot. You really can't peg Kendricks style to one distinct element like a lot of other niggas

like damn kendrick got some influence but yall literally using people from his generation who had a name before he even blew up. What next niggas gonna say kendrick got niggas telling stories and discussing politics and he made it cool

Niggas gonna say Kendrick got cole and kanye to talk about religious topics

yall white boys CRAZY lol

This muhfucka durkio
All i said was kendrick made socially conscious rap cool and he flipped out

It's easy or generic to do these guys style because everybody already ran with it and concentrated on that lol

So we can agree Kendrick hasn’t influenced anybody?

I think cuz it’s barely coming out now, you say cuz he is not easy to copy

In the end we both come to the conclusion the influence ain’t there

because thats a f***ing r*****ed thing to say

I mean i guess you got a point bro, but still, rap took a different direction after butterfly

Made conscious rap cool to who?

The hood ain’t really f***ing with Kendrick out here (I do cuz I love music more than the regular person which is why we in this forum)

So cool to who?

and this nigga said rap took a different course after tpab dropped as if it influenced the sound at all

Cool to me bro. He made it cool to ME. So f*** all yall.

IYRTITL is more influential than any Kendrick album COMBINED

That’s perfectly fine and I agree with you Kendrick is an amazing artist. But let’s stick to the facts broski

"conscious rap wasnt cool before kendrick"

Uh did tupac get shot before his debut album?

did public enemy never drop?

NWA with f*** the police?

Ice Cube never had a solo career?

UHHHH Nasir??????

Or even f***ing Cole lol

Different course? To what? Lmaoo

But I can see the Kendrick influence coming in, in the 2020s, quality music finna be coming

Cole was never cool bro. i think this is just a taste issue here

so i didnt know iman shumpert rapped until like yesterday but dude tries so hard to be kendrick
