How in the fuck can people unironically think Kendrick Lamar

i dont think people actual make meaning out of the words. they just sing(?) along to it

GET THE FUCK OFF MY STAGE, I'M THE SANDMAN

GET THE FUCK OFF MY DICK, THAT AIN'T RIGHT

I MAKE A PLAY FUCKING UP YOUR WHOLE LIFE

>>38598718
>actual
actually*

>>38598681
This is his least critical album. If you want to get good lyricism listen to his older stuff. He's clearly leaps and bounds ahead anyone else in mainstream rap right now (which isn't saying much but still).

Kanye > Shitdrick Shitmar

Listen to death grips if you want meaning in your lyrics

>>38598681
>I judge the overall talent and capabilities of a rapper based off a single mainstream as fuck radio hit
t. OP

Skepta > all other MC's

>>38598815
This. Death grips 4eva!

>>38598681
They are moved by seeming. but he does have his qualities:
>you love when love hurts
>back to reality: we poor, ya bish
>approved for the spit; dive in: I'm bout to drool

GANG BANGING PISTOL SWANGIN

I can't feel hype I man kill hype
Slapped to still life
Actors posin' plastic like token
Can't fit my low end splits your ocean
Obey the chosen the latent quotient raised to drogen
Heavy is the head you're blowin'
I'm fuckin' flippin'
Minute ago wasn't schiz but now I'm itchin'
Critical condition
Thought I told you not to listen
This road don't stop shiftin'
I'm floatin' I'm driftin'
I'm bouncin' whoop-whoop

>>38598871
is this you?

i know the world is a cash grab and theres little integrity to be found but was that you?

that shit was fire.

If an artist is willing to present work he knows to be bad I don't think that particular artist is worth my time or money. But 'ey: You do you, my dude.

death grips. all there songs are like that, you just cant hear it because the delivery is fucked sometimes, but they use that to their advantage. For example, BB poison is a song title on botomless pit, but the actual lyric is obey me, poison. Has completely different meaning, but it's played in a different way. The entire album is ride saying he's like charles manson, where he can use his music to channel his fans to do his bidding.

listen to his depressing songs like fear, feel and a few others the lyrics really resonate

>implying these lyrics aren't god-tier:

Guilt trippin' and feelin' resentment
I never met a transient that demanded attention
They got me frustrated, indecisive and power trippin'
Sour emotions got me lookin' at the universe different
I should distance myself, I should keep it relentless
My selfishness is what got me here, who the fuck I'm kiddin'?
So I'mma tell you like I told the last bum
Crumbs and pennies, I need all of mines
And I recognize this type of panhandlin' all the time
I got better judgement, I know when nigga's hustlin', keep in mind
When I was strugglin', I did compromise, now I comprehend
I smell Grandpa's old medicine, reekin' from your skin
Moonshine and gin, nigga you're babblin', your words ain't flatterin'
I'm imaginin' Denzel but lookin' at O'Neal
Kazaam is sad thrills, your gimmick is mediocre
The jig is up, I seen you from a mile away losin' focus
And I'm insensitive, and I lack empathy
He looked at me and said, "Your potential is bittersweet"
I looked at him and said, "Every nickel is mines to keep"
He looked at me and said, "Know the truth, it'll set you free
You're lookin' at the Messiah, the son of Jehovah, the higher power
The choir that spoke the word, the Holy Spirit
The nerve of Nazareth, and I'll tell you just how much a dollar cost
The price of having a spot in Heaven 'imburse your loss, I am God"

woah really makes you think :O

>>38598681
Op. Your post reeks of arrogance about a genre of music you know nothin about. Be humble. Sit down.

>>38599369
>be humble
*Biyombo

I was pissed off for the same reason a couple months ago, but now a lot of his stuff has REALLY grown on me. TPAB is definitely a great album, but I don't understand why so many fags keep saying that it's "genius" and that it'll be "the most influential album of the decade." It's just a really good album. "Genius" is a fucking overstatement.

>implying Kendrick doesnt have robot approved lyrics


>How many accolades do I need to block denial?

>At 27 years old, my biggest fear was bein' judged
>How they look at me reflect on myself, my family, my city
>What they say 'bout me reveal if my reputation would miss me
>What they see from me would trickle down generations in time
>What they hear from me would make 'em highlight my simplest lines
>I feel like a chip on my shoulders
>I feel like I'm losin' my focus
>I feel like I'm losin' my patience
>I feel like my thoughts in the basement
>Feel like, I feel like you're miseducated
>Feel like I don't wanna be bothered
>I feel like you may be the problem
>I feel like it ain't no tomorrow, fuck the world
>The world is endin', I'm done pretendin'
>And fuck you if you get offended
>I feel like friends been overrated

>Feel like removin' myself, no feelings involved
>Feel like the feelin' of no hope

>I feel like the whole world want me to pray for 'em
>But who the fuck prayin' for me?

>aint nobody prayin for me

>Do you believe in me? Are you deceiving me?
>Could I let you down easily, is your heart where it need to be?

>Like who got your best interest?
>Like how much are you dependent?
>How clutch are the people that say they love you?
>And who pretending?
>How tough is your skin when they turn you in?
>Do you show forgiveness?
>What brush do you bend when dusting your shoulders from being offended?
>What kind of den did they put you in when the lions start hissing?
>What kind of bridge did they burn?

>SHOW ME SOMETHING NATURAL LIKE STRETCHMARKS

Wow great lyrics. Much genius.

Look at his older shit like TPAB or GCMC for better lyrics or just better songs like FEEL. and FEAR.

>>38599409

>Kanye

Shit's catchy, that's why

>>38598681
People who like Kendrick just haven't listened to enough hiphop. Simple as that
