The Kendrick Lamar Thread

The offical thread celebrating one of, if not THE, best rappers of his time, King Kendrick Lamar.

Everyday I'll update this thread with a different song from this fantastic artist. Please, do not bring any hate in here. No hate on Kendrick, other rappers, rap in general, me, you, anything. This is just a place to listen to good music.

Now, I shall start this with one of my personal favorites from Section. 80 - Blow My High (Members Only)

One of my favorite songs

@comicace3: Love that song

Keisha's Song (Her Pain)

Apparently Nicki Minaj is a better rapper than Kendrick Lamar according to fans on Twitter

Kendrick is a poor man's Ice Cube.

Please, tell me this is sarcasm.

@Static_Shock: No, it isn't. Kendrick is nowhere near as good as Cube musically.

@deronn_solo said:

They are two completely different rappers, though. So, when you say he's a poor man's Ice Cube, you make it sound as if Kendrick is trying to be like him, is borrowing his flow, or is a pale comparison of him when they can't be compared at all.

Apart from that, musical talent and lyrical talent are two different things.

Kendrick is nothing like Ice cube

Exactly. The "poor man" remark isn't very fitting.

@ Static_Shock:

They are both rappers, so how can they not be compared? I never understood that logic, tbf. And who ever said lyrical ability and music ability were the same?

My apologies. They can be compared, but not in the way you're suggesting. You said he was a poor man's Ice Cube as if he tries to rap like him or as if there are likenesses between their rapping ability, when he doesn't rap like him and there is none. You're basically saying that Kendrick is a carbon copy, when nothing about him points back to Ice Cube. So, such a remark doesn't really work here. They are very different.

You then changed the conversation to musical ability after that, and as far as I'm concerned, that's debatable. You didn't say that they were the same. I was just making a statement.

Jay Electronica stomps despite the lack of catalog.

@kaijukinggojira: No he doesn't. Comparing the two is a crime, honestly.

Have you guys heard the untitled Unmastered Album?

He low key Beyoncé side piece

@beast_mode999: Untitled 2 and 7 are my favorites.

@righteous300:

Untitled 2 and 7 was straight fire.

The whole industry been in Shambles

@dboyrules2011 said:

Yeah because Jay Electric has everyone in T.D.E and current mainstream hip hop beat in terms of lyricism so yeah I'd call it a crime.

@kaijukinggojira: Lyricism is subjective.

true dat.
