When will y'all stop sucking this man's dick?
There's nothing special about his lyrics.
Anyone can tell a story and the way he does isn't special because he uses "big" words, has a weird voice, and uses old school beats.
Kendrick Lamar is just a mainstream Immortal Technique or Tech N9ne.
Shit guess I can't enjoy music cause of ones opinion.

teenagers do what the media tells them to do
One thing that confuses me is the Kendrick and Kanye comparisons.
What's the correlation between the two?
PIMP PIMP
The lyrics to "i" just proved to me that he's a dumbfuck. The fact that so many faggots are jumping on another Jesus loving dude that copies and pastes other people's music over top of generic jazz just proves America is fucking retarded.

The album version, right? With that retarded "nigga" is derived from "negus" shit.
And his fans actually treat that like fact.
He's just as pseudo-intellectual as J. Cole and Hopsin, but he makes better music.

(What did the Asian say?)
A peace of mind
That's what the Asian said, I need a divine
Intervention was his religion and I was surprised
Him believing in Buddha, me believing in God
Asked me what are you doing, he said "taking my time"
Meditation is a must, it don't hurt if you try
See you thinking too much, plus you too full of yourself
Worried about your career, you ever think of your health?
(What did the Indian say?)
A piece of land
That's what the Indian said, I needed demand
Telling me longevity is in the dirt, should buy some property first
Should profit a better dollar with generational perks
Equity at his best, really, you should invest
These tangible things expire, don't you expect
Income with so much outcome and yes
Look at my heritage, we blessed
(Now what the black man say?)
A piece of pussy
That's what the black man said, I needed to push me
To the limit to satisfy my hunger
We do it all for a woman from hair cut to a wool
We like to live in the jungle, like to play in the peach
What you saying to me?
He said "nigga, come back to reality for a week"
Pussy is power, fuck on a new bitch every night
I wouldn't be prouder, you should allow it
(What the white man say?)
A piece of mine's
That's what the white man wanted when I rhyme
Telling me that he selling me just for $10.99
If I go platinum from rapping, I do the company fine
What if I compromise? He said it don't even matter
You make a million or more, you living better than average
You losing your core following, gaining it all
He put a price on my talent, I hit the bank and withdraw
Hit the bank and withdraw, hit the bank and withdraw
Put myself in the rocket ship and I shot for the stars
I like Kendrick but the dick sucking has to stop. It pretty fucking annoying.

"Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes"
(a-wa) O kodwa u zo-nge li-sa namhlange
(a-wa a-wa) Si-bona kwenze ka kanjani
(a-wa a-wa) Amanto mbazane ayeza
She's a rich girl
She don't try to hide it
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
He's a poor boy
Empty as a pocket
Empty as a pocket with nothing to lose
Sing Ta na na
Ta na na na
She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes
She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
People say she's crazy
She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Well that's one way to lose these
Walking blues
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
She was physically forgotten
Then she slipped into my pocket
With my car keys
She said you've taken me for granted
Because I please you
Wearing these diamonds
And I could say Oo oo oo
As if everybody knows
What I'm talking about
As if everybody would know
Exactly what I was talking about
Talking about diamonds on the soles of her shoes
She makes the sign of a teaspoon
He makes the sign of a wave
The poor boy changes clothes
And puts on after-shave
To compensate for his ordinary shoes
And she said honey take me dancing
But they ended up by sleeping
In a doorway
By the bodegas and the lights on
Upper Broadway
Wearing diamonds on the soles of their shoes
And I could say Oo oo oo
As if everybody here would know
What I was talking about
I mean everybody here would know exactly
What I was talking about
Talking about diamonds
People say I'm crazy
I got diamonds on the soles of my shoes
Well that's one way to lose
These walking blues
Diamonds on the soles of your shoes

The brown hero, live from Ground Zero
Machine gun flow, made of ghetto Ross Perot
And this is disestablishmen-tarianism
With my night goggles on, yeah, military vision
And it’s still a very Christian way to think about livin’
When you prayin’ for freedom ’cause your mind been in prison
‘Cause they tryin’ to control every single big decision
You ain’t effin’ the system, then why the eff is you livin’?
Look, dawg, you can cop whatever suits you on
Three-piece, cuff links and the accoutrements
They been feedin’ us ish without the nutrients
So I’m back with another hit to let the truth be known
And your boy still fresh with the Gucci on
Them Italians sure know how to make what the moulies want
And they really can’t take what dude be on
But I be on the same thing ’til you prove me wrong

No, you can't.
Kendrick's lyrics are average and generic.
I could've wrote TPAB in 6th Grade.

Anyone could write that.
>>63114488
Sure you could've. That's why you're super famous and well respected.

>>63114826
>>63114893
How are you missing the point this hard?
You really think Kendrick is a genius?
Does anyone else find his lyrics to be self-loathing? It seems like he's propagating victim-hood culture and grievance culture, and almost pandering to his white-guilty majority fan base. Statically, the majority of his fans are white.
It seems like passive racism to me. A lot of his songs feel like they are about how black people are so helpless in this world. Is that suppose to be empowering?
>>63114149
Why would you question my relevance?
I'm wearing titanium helmets to prevail against warlock spells and the elements
Move freely through the evolution of all species
Before radio frequencies and TV's throughout history you could see me
(My thought book exceeds the average trees
I'll travel past the seas and master speeds that read faster than magic rabbits breathe
Splitting you is not a tough decision
When I drop makes a collision that'll give a Cyclops double vision)
But as soon as he's placed in his tomb
I rewind from his doom to his eulogy inside of the funeral room
To the moment right before his mortal flash was consumed
Back to his final oxygen intake while facing the Moon
(Through previous decades his returns to the womb
Nine months in reverse back to the reproductive vacuum
Passing theologians by re-separating the sperm from the ovum
making him return to the indulgence of your paternal hosting)
It goes in the brain where I close in
Put a needle in his lobe, extract your unborn soul and leave it frozen
So much soul the whole Earth is cold
My words are so advanced a 20 million years from now unwritten verse is old
(I read a scroll get agitated impede a roll
And enclose your torso inside of a needle hole
My rap pops like straps chop emcees from the waist to their legs drop
you'll have to hand hold ya laptop)
I'm knowing 8 wraths from my spacecraft
Then me and my great staff begin to sail the Universe's most unsafe paths
I take baths in radiation based drafts
My mindstate has a capacity so fast that I could recreate in mass
(Once a thought is born, nothing can harm it
You don't understand the magnitude of torment that it took for me to form it
I dare ya to deal each labyrinths characters kill
Gotta Captain America shield that I wear in the field)

Kendrick is alright, but definitely overrated
People called the Control verse amazing, but it was fucking whack.
Only because he name dropped a few people that people regarded it highly, but even Hopsin does that.
Never saw the big deal with that control verse, Kendrick sounds so try hard and then Jay effortlessly destroys him.

No, Senpai.
Immortal Technique tries to shove his anti-goverment shit down your throat in every song. Every single one of his songs is about the same topic.
Kendrick talks about more things and doesn't try to shove his belief and ideology.
>>63113285
We all liked Kendrick way before he was in the eye of the media.
>>63115280
basing your entire career on the "the black man's struggle" is kind of unoriginal to say the least. I see it as pandering to middle america's new found love for identity politics. Writing an entire album about how the cards are stacks against you, how the white man is keeping you down, etc is nothing but masturbatory garbage. Not only that, i see it as harmful and might even gas light black people who already feel like perpetual victims, and don't even try to get ahead in life because of it. Here's this rich black person making a killing off talking about how bad it is being black. It's unattractive to see the higher class singing about the lower class. It's not even black people who are this guy's biggest fans, it's white people with no real experience with actual blacks who listen to it.
It's not necessary in 2016 to do all that, as much as you all went it to be so: real oppression like "jim crow" isn't returning. Black people are afforded every opportunity, and even more so than any other race.
>>63113292

He used to make pretty creative music back then.

Years and years, American society has progressed to to get away from systematic racism. But to deny that shit like racism and White privilege doesn't exist call yourself a victim when you don't know the difference between someone telling you something about social issues and discriminating your race just makes you a fucking fool. Grow up.

>>63115927

That was a double negative. If you deny something "doesn't" exist, you are arguing that it does exist.
>call yourself a victim
I haven't made any comment about myself, and I challenge you to point out where I did.
>when you don't know the difference between someone telling you something about social issues and discriminating your race
I never conflated his constant droning about his perceived social "issues" to be discrimination. I said they were derivative, unnecessary, and in my opinion showed that he doesn't think highly blacks or being black, if every song is about "muh oppression."

Why are you bring attention to "White guilt" as that was the album was about? Why do you think TPAB was nothing but Talking shit about white people ? You don't know anything about the black experience or what the fuck Kendrick was talking about. You are butt-hurt for absolutely no damn reason. You, yet again, are denying racism and privilege exist.
I think there are shills here. Kendrick Lamar's talent can not be denied. Lyrically, production wise, and in all matters technical. In addition his vision is wide, and message important. Who the fuck could be against this? Why would anyone but shills be hating on this? I mean you don't have to like his music, but there is a certain respect you have to give it.
>>63113334
BITCH DONT PIMP MY RIDE
>>63115994
I don't know what meme you're talking about, but when I listen to shit like king kunta, and especially "the blacker the berry" i can't help but cringe at the "angry, self-loathing black man" lyrics. I think at one point even calls himself a "proud monkey."
I did listen to the entire album, but I will concede I only heard it once, and songs like the ones I mentioned put a bad taste in my mouth early on so I didn't bother to critically listen to the rest.
It still can't be denied that the tone of what I'm talking about is there, and it is how a lot of people will perceive it. Even the feel good songs like "alright" were more griping and "muh life is so bad"
the more i listen to kendrick, the more I think he's a beta male.
>>63115904

>>63116476
Kendrick Lamar is not a producer.
Lyrically he's a generic tryhard, almost sounds like Hopsin, but a bit more creative
The message doesnt make an artist good
I respect it, but at the same time I dont because he hasnt contributed anything mindblowing to hip hop like people make it seem
>>63116562
>I will concede I only heard it once, and songs like the ones I mentioned put a bad taste in my mouth early on so I didn't bother to critically listen to the rest.
So like I said, you barely even listened to it.
>>63116471
>Why are you bring attention to "White guilt" as that was the album was about?
I'm "bringing attention" to white guilty because I'm conjecturing that it's popularity, especially with progressive outlets like p4k was due to it. There's a current trend of middle america right now kind of wallowing in guilt, and using it a social currency.
>" I'm far more guilty than you, look how progressive i am, I loved this album even though it's essentially saying the white man is the oppressor"
>Why do you think TPAB was nothing but Talking shit about white people ?
This line shows you have pretty bad reading comprehension if that's all you got from what I was saying. I assure you my posts have far more substance than that. I'm making comments on deeper issues than "talking shit about white people"
>You don't know anything about the black experience
Maybe you're right about that. I am black American, however. I'm not going to get into a oppression contest here with you, 'cuz i'm not a bitch.
>or what the fuck Kendrick was talking about
He wasn't talking about quantum mechanics here, and his word play was pretty simple and straightforward. I think I got the sentiment behind TPAB, and have read a bunch of articles of how white people interpreted it.
> You are butt-hurt for absolutely no damn reason
You're confusing criticism with angry. I assure you I'm almost completely ambivalent to Kendrick's music. If anything the higher implication that such an album could get so much hype is far more amusing to me.
>You, yet again, are denying racism and privilege exist.
I'm going to have to challenge you again, and point where I denied the existence of any of those. The most I did was deny the severity.
Be sure to actually point it out this time, since the previous time I asked you defend an accusation you made, you completely failed to. I don't see how what you green texted
shows that I called myself a victim.
>>63114517
why dont u write something like that then, show us
>>63117083
I don't want to, it's corny.
>>63116671
You fucking kidding me? Hopsin is incredibly egocentric. He really makes it clear his state of mind is better than everyone else. Kendrick is humble and subtle in his approach, always keeping in mind his humanity. Hence, he writes Mortal Man in a time where everyone in the game is rapping about being Kings and Gods. He has contributed a powerful message in a subtle, humble way backed up with stellar instrumentation.
>>63117667
I can't find the articles now, but Kendrick Lamar is definitely not humble. He's pretentious as it comes.
>>63117956
>He's pretentious as it comes.
Okay prove it then.

I just said "I can't find the articles".

I do, but I kind of hate him.
>>63118987
could be his thoughts on him seeing himself as his best when he's in that humble mindset.
Like to him he's the best he could be as an artist if he stays grounded, the flip side of that being observing that he's weak and floppy when an ego gets out of hand.
His ego is not out of hand, in the slightest.
OP is clearly baiting hard and is acting out like a teenager cause everyone likes Kendrick and not his obscure drone band. /:
TPAB was gimmicky trash with literally zero staying power. That EP he surprise dropped the other day just sounds like a bunch of tracks that didn't make the cut for TPAB. All in all, dude's trash. He can't top GKMC, he knows this, so he releases nothing but gimmicks with "conscious" lyrics, whatever the fuck that means.
>>63123243
You lost. Stop.

Tragic really. I don't know why I stick around for (to see) this shit sometimes.
>>63123977

Kendrick deserves every bit of praise he receives. Rappers like Immortal Technique and Tech N9ne fall short because their music becomes boring and preachy since they don't balance it out with more playful elements.
>>63117045
>I'm far more guilty than you, look how progressive i am, I loved this album even though it's essentially saying the white man is the oppressor"
So you don't believe what that saying is true, plus you're really exaggerating the message. Kendrick does see flaws in the black community, but despite racial discrimination and having disadvantages, black people can strive for greatness. That's the fucking message! You, AGAIN, are denying racism and privilege still exist. Just because shit like Jim Crowe and Slavery is gone, doesn't mean discrimination isn't around. Not being oppressed isn't a privilege.
> I'm making comments on deeper issues than "talking shit about white people"
THEN WHY IS WHITE GUILT RELATED TO THIS ALBUM????? It doesn't and isn't meant to shame white people in any way. At all. What people think about the album is totally on them. No one is saying all white people should feel ashamed.
>I am black American, however. I'm not going to get into a oppression contest here with you, 'cuz i'm not a bitch
Whatever, dude. To a racist white guy, us both are just niggers.
> his word play was pretty simple and straightforward. I think I got the sentiment behind TPAB, and have read a bunch of articles of how white people interpreted it.
But you got the wrong idea from those white critics. If any of those expressed "white guilt" or white-shame" it's not worthy of good criticism.
>I'm going to have to challenge you again, and point where I denied the existence of any of those
Wait, so you know racism and privilege but when someone says how it effects his life, it's non-existent? Wowie, fucktard

This is 100% right. He's a good rapper and does everything right, but it doesn't matter if your voice is unpleasant to listen to.
The reverse is true too, if you're terrible at lyrics, rapping, etc it doesn't matter if you have a golden voice.
