>decide to finally listen to some Kendrick Lamar, after being

white guilt
america's obsession with black approval

>>73431257
because it sounds just like a generic top 10 hip-hop act

>>73431257
if you're listening to DAMN., yeah

>>73431269
>>73431278
These

>>73431257
2014 was the year that black people could officially do nothing wrong anymore. Kendrick just had good timing and rode that wave

>>73431305
that's also relevant to most of his stuff except for some songs on TPAB and UU

>>73431257
Because generic top 10 hip-hop is still better than whatever the indie scene is pumping out these days

White-guilt

>>73431257
Because it's mainly the lyrics and the conceptual nature of his albums that make the difference

Why are redpillers/hicks so obsessed with hating blacks?

>>73431338
You sound like a wigger.

>>73431333
I'd say he's always had a lot of pop appeal, but GKMC is mostly not top 10-oriented, save for Poetic Justice, Swimming Pools, Money Trees, etc.

>>73431353
nobody here is "obsessed" with black people
it's just that 4chan is a white man's board so people speak frankly about niggers
if you don't like it you can leave

>>73431359
The indie scene is undeniably saturated with shit music right now, it doesn't matter what race the people making top 40 music are, it's still better than the indie scene, and if you somehow started to get more blacks making indie music that wouldn't automatically improve it

>>73431395
>The indie scene is undeniably saturated with shit music right now
>he says this while trying to defend generic top 40 hip hop

>>73431413
like at that point they may as well have said that all music is shit

>>73431372
>GKMC is mostly not top 10-oriented
are you retarded?
literally every song on that album is pop rap with somewhat conscious lyrics
he became mainstream with that album

>>73431421
yes, because The Art of Peer Pressure really gets the white suburban teens goin at their shitty house parties

>>73431438
>white suburban teens goin at their shitty house parties
you have some narrow idea of what pop rap is

I like some of To pimp a butterfly after listening to it a few times yesterday
I agree though that it seems people only praise him for being a lyrical and musical genius because he talks about being a black guy and racist popo, kind of underwhelming considering memetano's 10 rating

>>73431359
If that is what you would call someone like that then what is a black person called if they act White?

>>73431453
A normal human being.

>>73431453
>act white
you mean civilised?

>>73431445
Macklemore and Kid Cudi are pop rap with somewhat conscious lyrics that would be playing at shitty house parties hosted by white suburban teens, at least the ones I know

>>73431466
>that would be playing at shitty house parties hosted by white suburban teens
you have some narrow idea of what pop rap is
also you can't read well, but that's not surprising since you're into rap

>>73431476
Is Macklemore and [early and recent*] Kid Cudi not pop rap, or are you so lost in your shitty /mu/core records that you forgot what pop sounded like?

>>73431495
>Is Macklemore and [early and recent*] Kid Cudi not pop rap
you definitely can't read properly if you think that's what I could possibly mean with my posts, seek hel

>are you so lost in your shitty /mu/core records that you forgot what pop sounded like
imagine being this ignorant and deluded you think that kendrick lamar is not pop rap
if he wasnt pop he wouldnt be that popular ffs, he's easily top 5 biggest rappers on the planet right now

>>73431536
I'm not denying he's a pop rapper, I claimed it about DAMN. You're just implying MOST of his work is pop rap, which is just plain wrong since he has both a gangsta rap and funk/soul-based rap album under his belt

I feel like most people cite the lyrics when they look for reasons why Kendrick Lamar is good.

I like him for his general songwriting. Songs like Institutionalized or untitled 02 go through so many phases over the course of like 4 minutes. There's something so colorful and engaging about the way he structures songs and albums. I sometimes listen to a song by Kendrick Lamar, then to a different rap song by a different artist and I get immediately bored because nothing's happening with the beat and the rapper just plows verse-chorus-verse through the track without changing a lot.
That's the kind of hip hop that I find exhausting. KL is not the only one who does it differently, but he DOES do it differently, which is why I like him.

Plus, a great vocal talent, see untitled 02 or u.

how will he recover from this

all kendrick songs: "I hate myself"

where the fuck does white guilt come into it retard

>>73431614
>lmao try harder cuck
You're the one protecting Kendrick Lamar though.

>>73431614
>cuck
sure, he's the cuck, notthe guy who thinks funk based gangsta rap can not be pop rap.

>>73431602
looks like a photo from 10 years ago

>>73431657
>hook to i
>"i love myself"

>>73431614
Outside of semantics there is not a single difference between pop rap and the shit you're talking about you snivelling retard. You sound like the kind of guy that tags music as avant garde if it has a time signature other than 4/4.

>>73431665
i actually take back my statements in regard to TPAB, i forgot the back-end of that album, take care stranger

>>73431352
po po wanna kill us fo sho

>>73431257
4chan full of anti-mainstream. Don't listen to DAMN

>>73431637
>>73431602
This make him really likable in my opinion. It's kind of like a guy who walks through disneyland dressed as a disney villain, he looks dangerous because of his character but kids can still come up to him aand sit on his lap and shit and take photos and he's all cool with that because his whole thing is just a character

How short do you have to be to think xxxtra small looks "dangerous"

>>73431746
Do you actually think a guy in a disney villain costume looks dangerous?

Good job missing the point but at least you got a good hit on that dead horse in.

Hahahaha cringe

I enjoy Kendrick Lamar's music. Crazy, I know.

>>73431950
You're a pleb, crazy I know.

>>73431257
Shit taste

>>73431328
but everyone loved GKMC when on release

>>73432018
Holy shit that IS crazy.

>>73432147
>plebs
>people

Pick 1 you pelican

You legitimately haven't listened to enough shitty hip-hop. Go fucking listen to another song guest starring Sean Paul before you say that Kendrick is generic.

>>73431257
Gotta love how instead of the natural reaction being that opinions differ, 4chan immediately blames it on a supposed white guilt that 90% of listeners subconsciously have.

>>73432211
>You need to listen to the worst hip hop to be able to appreciate the mediocre
All this post says to me is that hip hop is a shitty genre

We don't.

>>73432220
It's because his music is pro black. You would never see niggers listening to pro white music

Only the cuckold white race puts other people interests before their own

>>73432294
Its not just circlejerking black pride, he questions of the general consensuses of the black community in Blacker the Berry for example. I don't know why you think the entire album is all about race, only a small part is about racial issues.

>>73432630
nazis criticises the white community too. It doesn't make them any less pro white and I wouldn't expect a black person would enjoy music related to those topics

Only white people are stupid enough to cuck them in these ways. Kendrick is a genius he created a whole new generation of white guilt virtue signallers

>>73432236
That's because it is.

TPAB isn't that great if you've listened to a decent amount of jazz. I mean for real, what plebs call a great album. I really enjoyed GKMC and UU but TPAB was pretty meh. DAMN sucked except for Pride.

>>73431257
>sounds just like a generic top 10 hip-hop act

That's because you listened to the most popular tracks like Poetic Justice, Alright and etc.

GKMC is far from generic, so is TPAB because jazz rap is far from top 40.

DAMN is his most generic album but even there many songs have crazy beat changes that no other mainstream rapper does.
