An artist wants to make good art and you’re calling him pretentious for that Lmfao wtf do you know
These timelines you’ve invented in your head are completely fabricated and are based on corporate and capitalist pressure to churn work out 24/7. Kendrick has a family and cares more than most about quality.
Just be thankful he’s able to give you any music at all. You’re not entitled to any of it. It’s a gift he’s giving us.
Idk bout pretentious but when he said only artists know their purpose in life that was pretty stupid
Look at our society these days and the politics and beliefs of half of this country. That the answer and it's why I stopped caring about 3 years ago.
I do like to troll his haters every once in a while tho. Lol
POV: you post on a website name after a guy who wears giant rubber boots and silver spaceman glasses who also consistently compares himself to Steve Jobs and Walt Disney, but you think Kendrick Lamar is pretentious
painting everyone? buddy i only said Kendrick was pretentious and explained why, none of what you said was a proper argument
however, sometimes multiple people share similar traits and CAN be painted with a similar brush if needed, Lauryn, Erika and Janelle are all A1 talent but i would also call them pretentious, they've always come off as a combo of eccentric and "better than the other options" without even trying and they were never ones to get absorbed by the hollywood crowd around them
their music being original and authentic also has drops of pretentiousness because of the artist's unwillingness to conform, which is evidently seen as pretentious by many people
being pretentious isnt always a bad thing and theres almost always a reason for why someone is acting or coming off as such
might be one of the worst posts ive read on this site
Yea but can you understand that black ppl live in a different reality?
You have 95 percent of hip hop that's lightening the mood bro.
You can listen to almost any other mainstream rapper and not get something conceptual
But if a fee don't make that music they're called mysterious or Prentitous. That's a problem.
Black people are not a monolith
Not all black people have the same reality
You realize how crazy you look telling a black man how you would prefer him address something that affected him and his community lol
That's not your place fam
What kind of clown response is this?
Imagine telling someone what their place is solely based on skin color
Also being the same skin color as someone don't make them "your community"
the same thing tyler the creator was complaining about. Black men (generality) are not rocking with him like that and he knows it
There's 40 million black people in America
How do you know that majority of those 40 million don't like Tyler?
Have you met all 40 millon?
Besides the nerds on KTT2 and Reddit, when was the last time someone actually listened to this album?
Like, in real life?
S*** is pretentious trash. Plain and simple.
I agree
Nobody in real life actually hypes TPAB up
It's mainly wannabe woke liberal hipsters in colleges and universities who act like you are beneath them if you don't have the same opinion as them
