Kendrick Lamar Appreciation Thread

[freakjasp]

don't really feel it...
lyrics are dope but the whole song would've been so much better if it wasn't that hectic
beat is kinda dope too but like i said too hectic.
and how he changed his voice...
was expecting more tbh

[Raw_Tune]

dont like it at all, full pop music, his voice is annoying too

you realize pop is short for popular and I don't know where you been at these last couple year+ but rap has been popular music for a while

edit: not referring to you but i dont understand the whole changing his voice hate. He has been doing it since section.80. And it was all over GKMC.

[IgetMoney]

not what i was expecting but i do enjoy it. Saw someone compare it to Jay-z's Hard knock life, i kind of agree similar vibe

[WeEeEeEzZzZyYy]

horrendous

the artwork had everybody thinking the song would be about something else

[Weezy_KB24]

Lyrically he's still the best out.

[MarkoMaxX]

He spit his mind off...how is that not rap? Lol...did u hear the song?

Hopefully Kendrick doesn't turn to these "I gotta rap faster than speed on beats" type of rapper imo tbh

U been hating on everything I say lately so idgaf about your opinion..

Lyrics are dope. But lyrics don't make a song complete.. To me it sounds like popish rap and not pure rap like K.Dot puts out..

And of course I didn't mean that it's literally not rap. Of course it's a rap, but it doesn't sound like rap that KDot usually puts out..

It's alright song for mainstream audience, and kdot fans will eat out anything he releases.. but its not what i expected.

I disagree, because he put out songs like Beyonce, Give Me Some Of You, His Pain II, Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe, Friend of Mine, Young Boys World, etc. I think he is more diverse than you are giving him credit for. I don't think he has a set sound or atleast not yet anyway. Speaking for myself I am a huge kendrick lamar fan and he still has songs I dont care for, but the majority of them are great. Are you a kendrick Lamar fan?

I can't even say I didn't expect a song like this after going through the kendrick lamar songs on my computer.

Hold on .. you say that like the song aint quality tho .. ?

[legendarytunechi]

agree with @MarkoMaxX, it sounds popish rap.

i expected it to be better tbh, and he sounds kinda different. 6/10 imo.

True, He is diverse and versatile, but I don't like this type of songs.. I am his fan, not super fan, but I have his albums and mixtapes, and I do like lots of his songs, I just don't feel this one..

You can't tell me this song is on same level as Swimming Pools or Dont Kill my vibe.. it's just not.. It's way below.. But its still better than most of the songs these other rappers put out..

Hold on .. you say that like the song aint quality tho .. ?

Nah, song is quality.. But it's not that good.. And tbh all of KDot fans i've seen are so obsessed that they like every song KDot puts out, like it's their job to do so.. But thats just saying from my experience..

[weezy f baby]

Song is alright. But that's not rap. That's some popish sound, again with him using that retarded low pitched voice of his..

I get what he is trying to do tho..This is a mainstream record, and this song with have crazy radio plays and shit like that, so it's a good promo for album tho.. But I don't really feel songs like this.. Sounds like Pharrell song or some other pop shit..

I expect that rest of the songs on this album sound nothing like this..

Half the album gonna be for mainstream appeal. Its a follow up to a classic album. Hes aiming for the charts on this one.

New song weird as fuck.
