I genuinely think Keem is a great writer, obviously Kendrick helps him a lot but u can tell that style is Keem’s. I doubt Kendrick would be placing that much into him if he wasn’t a great rapper. Their situation comes off as a feeding off of each other rather than like Kendrick doing it all for Keem or vice versa
I feel like Kendrick really helped Keem perfect his sound and Keem changed the way Kendrick approached making music and helped him have fun w his s*** post TPAB
I think the leaker said that it's more of collab process than kendrick just sending keem verses. So yeah definitely feeding off each other
I need to listen to American gangster one of these days
It’s incredible, def worth your time
I know there are some fake big steppers among us
Some folks saying they love the album now but are gonna be calling it mid in 2 week
i can feel the snakes
Definitely not one of them. This album has touched me in a way emotionally an album hasn’t in awhile.
Crazy how much better the second part is than the first
idk man the first 3 songs god damn
this is honestly the best album of the decade so far
like it's crazy to think GKMC came out almost 10 years ago and he tops it with this??? like HOW
think purple hearts my least fav on here
Did anyone feel inspired to write/produce after listening to this?
Yes!
Yea Kendrick's discography is better to me but they're both good at having work that stands the test of time. Like Hov got albums from the 90s that mfs still see as classic so it's all good. Plus he got a head start so
Of course maybe because the rate Jay z dropped music back in the day gave him a higher chance of not delivering great bodies of work constantly while Kendrick set such a high standard for himself as an album artist the wait warrants quality or it’s always implied in his case
I think the leaker said that it's more of collab process than kendrick just sending keem verses. So yeah definitely feeding off each other
Yeah I work with artist and will record a whole reference of a song we wrote together for them but if that reference leaked itd look like i wrote the entire song
I feel like most niggas on here who talk for certain about Jay have maybe listened to his big 3 a couple times and his WTT and after work
which is insane cuz Jay has some crazy ass album cuts on his earlier works
Who’s new generation to y’all now that our modern legends are considered vets and what’s the ceiling? @CliCity raised a similar point and I think it should be discussed is the idea of having a big 3 regressive?
Anyone under 30 I would say is new gen
think purple hearts my least fav on here
crazy
If u want to make the argument Kendrick make better albums than jay maybe. Better raps nah
S*** on my mind and its heavy
Tell you in pieces cause its way too heavy
My diamonds the choker is heavy
More life to give on demand are you ready
