From UK so wont be able to join at the live release, probably 4 hours later but im down
This is just because, for as great as Kendrick is, nothing heās ever done can really be considered innovative sonically, so newer artists arenāt trying to sound like him due to the fact that heās not taking the genre in any direction we havenāt seen before.
All those guys you named did something to push the genre forward throughout the 2010s: Drake with R&B/pop/dancehall fusions, Future with trap music, Migos with their flows, Young Thug with his overall zaniness and vocal inflections, etc.
None of Kendrickās projects are particularly innovative or boundary pushing, theyāre just the highest quality offerings of sounds weāve heard before in rap music, and thatās not necessarily a bad thing, but it explains why Kendrick isnāt as influential as some of his peers.
Exactly how I feel about him
Heās probably the best rapper to ever rap
His music impacts his listeners, not his peers. And thatās okay, wouldnāt want it any other way.
Not gonna lie Iām usually against hearts being on album but this one gets the thumbs up. I hope it makes it.
tbh song is a masterpiece, should be on it
