My take with Kendrick is that since Section 80/GKMC his stuff just hasn't been for me... I've just always felt he tried too hard to be the voice for of the "deep perspective" rap fans and his albums became too abstract for me to really care what he has to say. I feel like he found the balance best on GKMC between listenability and providing an interesting perspective on his upbringing in Compton and how society shaped that. I'm also a sucker for a "coming of age" tale. Maybe that makes me a "bad rap fan" but hey I can't help what I like and don't like to listen too I also don't think he's really evolved or diversified his flow enough for me. Most of his flow is that fast machine gun style and I just get tired of it after a while.
As far as the best rapper doing it convo I don't think Kendrick can lay claim to that after taking the hiatus he did. Others will disagree, I get it, but it's always pissed me off when rappers a la Jay Electronica don't drop music and then come in and start saying nobody can eff with them on the mic... Like you're not even doing the bare minimum of you know putting music out there to be considered the best
I'm not going to start claiming who is better than Kendrick because that convo always becomes dumb and stupid and people yelling at each other lol. But just felt like I needed to get the Kendrick thoughts off my chest.
Don't kill me

It might be me, but there is this trend I’ve seen with all my favorite rappers and I don’t know if it’s because we’re all getting older, or we’re in one of those phases where hip hop isn’t suppose to be “fun”, but it looks like they all just aren’t enjoying being rappers anymore. You hear it in their songs and dammit I can see it in this video. Even the video girls aren’t having a good time.
They aren’t competing or pushing the limits, to be the best they are just like, yeah this is what you want right? it’s not just these three either it’s a vibe.

I ain’t gonna hold you, I could be projecting, but I don’t think it’s me. A lot of middle age rapper feel like they going through the motions on their last few tapes. Only rapper I heard lately that seemed inspired was Nas.

I wouldn’t put fab in that catergory cause he has a high skill set like Nas, so he will be ok. But dudes like Maino and Jim yes. At this point they just putting out **** just to put out and it becomes hit or miss and mostly miss.This whole lobby boyz project was dumb.
Jim was good on the harry fraud project. You can tell he was motivated on that one.

Its also hardly any drums on this album. Smh lol.
Cry together my favorite
And the mother I sober song is the only songs I could listen.
There will be people acting like this the greatest thing made in years…..
Kendrick was out pacing Nas in making Albums I. The 2010s, now Nas is out pacing Kendrick. Embrassing from and MC perspective if you ask me.

Yep. It’s a pretty good album on first listen
