A red/blue shoe that Interscope/Reebok went to him and told him that this collab would be sending a message that would change the "gang culture" in LA

Pretentious and Corny as f***, but Kendrick being Kendrick that's all he knows

The streets aren't playing madbillainy, Is it a classic?

Because it’s true.

Just listen to TPAB (Recycling Bin Classic)

Yea he thought of that on his own

Pretentious is this site fav vocab word. Actually it’s probably “projecting”

Not really Kendrick dummy

i f***ing hate this verse ruins the song

If pirus and crips all get along

Guess they came up with those too huh

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.

Pretentious though lol.literally from the mouths of bloods and crips lol

There is so many bad takes itt it’s funny

If been “pretentious” is going over and beyond to make the best music he can then idk what to say

i believe it is and i believe history and shown its influence 10x. no one ever tried to front like mf doom dropped four consecutive classics in a row, which was the point of the post.

the terms of engagement for doom and kendrick are pretty different considering the cosigns and $ behind kdot before gkmc (& the rest of his career as followed)

i think folks who think kendrick is pretentious mostly fell off listening to him after tpab / the control verse because those two things had em looking at kdot differently.

Im about to spin that untitled unmastered tho

This goes back to n original point classics are personal preference

You're creating fake criteria to validate you not thinking an album is classic.

Wheb you don't have to..of you don't think an album is a classic that's 100 percent ok

But there isn't some fake metric Kendrick has to hit but doom didn't.

Im not creating no fake criteria. Im stating kendrick did not drop four classic albums in a row, which places him along with every other hip hop artist ever since no one has dropped four classics in a row. Thanks for missing the point

Common the Rapper from Chicago said Kendrick has 4 classics.

Is he wrong because you think differently?

"Kendrick that was a hot line, we should collab with Reebok to bridge the gap between the gang culture in LA" - Intern at Interscope

"Here's a bag say this"

they don't like black folk making intelligent music

Ive only ever heard it in the context of his fans that they they deserve a Nobel peace prize for listening to his music instead of music about money cars etc

Ive never actually seen someone call Kendrick pretentious. Now I’ve seen him called out for critic bait but thats another discussion

People are actually living their lives to my music, and to my lifestyle—whether it's me being on stage or wearing a shoe. It's also an introduction for those who don't who I am: 'This is what I stand for.' I stand for inspiring my city and people around the world."

Sounding like Miley Cyrus

“I also love that new Kendrick Lamar song ’Humble’: ‘Show me somethin’ natural like ass with some stretch marks.’ I love that because it’s not ‘Come sit on my d***, suck on my cock.’ I can’t listen to that anymore,” Cyrus said in 2017. “That’s what pushed me out of the hip-hop scene a little. It was too much ‘Lamborghini, got my Rolex, got a girl on my cock’ — I am so not that.”

The average Kendrick stan
