Hip hop savior loses to industry plant. The game is fucked and you are all culpable
Can you even read?
Lol, Nas new album Magic is what a hiphop album is supposed to sound like. Kendricks new album sounds like shit, idc if the lyrics make it good for that alone. Kendrick stopped knowing how to make raw hip hop a long time ago. And that’s what made Kendrick stick out initially. How raw and organic he sounded.
5 years of constant promotion and hype and kenny lost to a ripoff of drake for biggest song. Even future (drake’s loyal friend) got one when he dropped his latest album despite a far shorter gap. Lol
Constant what? You are a clown…Kendrick never promoted his album till a week before it dropped, like this guy was given the biggest marketing stage at the Superbowl but he never said a word about his album besides it’s been a week since it dropped so let’s wait and see…
White guy is no 1 and y’all racists cant stand it! And Fuuuck Brandy by the way!
FUCK THAT BITCH!
Music weak AF in general rap gonna be trash once the older emcees calm on making music. Nas and jigger can make only so many albums giving out stock tips and art advice…what Rae and Ghost gonna make OBC4L5 running a spot out of a SpaceX, well maybe rap won’t be trash then
I’m not surprised. I’m a former hard-core Kendrick fan. I was turning ppl on to his music around 2009 or so. Loved all his early work. Loved Section 80, gkmc, enjoyed TPAB. Disliked DAMN, dislike this one. It’s not the they’re garbage, but they aren’t what made me his fan to begin with. The lyricism is there, the sound has changed completely. Kendrick from 2009 to 2013 or so sounded like he was a hit from the mid 90s who was dropped in the mid 2000s and slightly adapted, but not much. He still rapped mostly mono tone without too much voice effects and high pitched annoying sounds, much of why Eminem also sounds terrible these days. So I’m not surprised a pop rapper like Harlow would out do this new Kendrick album. Because aside from Kendrick Stan’s who will label ANYTHING he drops as a classic, the average person doesn’t love it. And the true hiphop heads don’t seem to vibe with tbe sounds sonically speaking.
