Thats whats up,Im so freaking proud of u!
Big Kendrick fan but if I saw him in concert I wouldn’t really want to hear anything from his new album. GKMC shits all over it both production and music wise
TPAB a butterfly is at least equal to GKMC in terms of production… It’s just more experimental and has more musical variety so the majority of strictly new school rap fans are going to hate it. Because apparently all that matters is how many bangers an album has and not how interesting the music is.
@Mush
I’m listening to “How Much a Dollar Costs” in amazment right now just thinking to myself “There’s no way you could be a ‘big kendrick fan'” lol. If you can’t appreciate this then you can’t be a fan dog… A lot of niggas hopped on the bandwagon when GKMC dropped. Doesn’t make you a fan bruh. I hate when niggas try to stand behind that “I’m a Kendrick fan” shit before they diss TPAB smh… Oh shit… Complexion just came on sounding groovy as hell lol.
This shit is musically, lyrically, and conceptually Emaculate bruh. GKMC is a certified hip-hop Classic but TPAB is one of the greatest albums I’ve heard in any genre. It is superior to GKMC imo. They both classics tho…
I seen him in Milwaukee at summer fest, he did a lot from TPAB, and it was jamming, every track!
Kendrick expected to perform songs from his album at his concern??? You don’t say….
concert****
Drake still winning. He inspire copycats like kendrick and Frank ocean (who likes men instead of women) but drake still winning.
How did Drake inspire Kendrick and Frank Ocean, who have their own styles and are nothing like him? Aubrey isn’t winning at all. Drake stans are the worst people who ruin everything they touch.
Because Frank’s sexuality is totally relevant (/sarc) Besides, channel orange is straight up great and drake can’t even keep me interested for a whole song… Oh and Kendrick vs. Drake is just unfair. in K-Dot’s favor, of course.
Franks music is elevator music that only got attention because he like big black Dik.
Elevator music? Aubrey’s music is the epitome of elevator music. He puts people to sleep with his shit.
Roommate jammed to drake all night. Fell asleep at Franks music thoughm
You got that backwards. It would be Aubrey’s music that puts people to sleep. And you have no roommate, you still live with in your mama’s basement like the troll you are.
K.dot please come to Australia!!!
Can’t wait. K Dot stays dropping classics and that’s why he’s the best rapper of this generation. Real humble and not letting the fame change him.
This shit sold out in less than thirty minutes today. Got a membership just so I could get early access. Probably the most frustrating experience buying tickets that I’ve ever had. It was worth it though, can’t wait for this. Kendrick should have raised the price on these cause judging how fast the tickets went, he could have made a killing on this.
Theres a lot of idiots who enjoy overrated artists these days
@etadic Lol, hey I just love real music. What can I say?
Don’t listen or respond to the trolls people. Kig kendrick has more artistic integrity than ghostwriting drake. ” rapper with a ghost writer, what the fuck happened?” drake is a pop artist now..he will never be considered great now that he has been exposed. When I think of drake I think of the line common said “you’re so black and white tryin to live a niggas life”…lol
He had wealthy people buy more than one seat again. Cheater.
That’s impossible. This is fan dedication, not having wealthy people buy out seats or cheating. You sound like a sore loser.
Those fans sure didn’t help propel dumbo past drake’s 2 surprise albums despite having more promotion.
Those fans helped Kendrick go to number one and sell at least gold. And he did not have more promo than Aubrey, who had people buying albums.
Dan’s original comment in a nutshell: “WAAAAH!! That rapper that I don’t like is doing out a sold out show!! He cheated!! Only rappers I like can achieve success!! WAAAAH!!” Do you realize that your comment makes you sound like a bitter 6 year old who didn’t get what he want for Christmas.
Much respect to Kdot an the supporters of that real… Be the change
Dr dre bought them all.
This guy is really pushing the culture forward. He won’t be sharing the bottom bunk with anyone anytime soon.
