listening to kendrick's new album now

 

will give thoughts later

i feel like this album will split the hip-hop/rap community 

 

i've enjoyed it so far, but it wouldn't surprise me if people did not like it. this isn't an album where you can play the songs in your car with your boys and jam out. most of these songs require serious focus and concentration as you have to pay attention to basically every lyric to understand what is going on.  this is the type of rap i like, but it could be too much for people 

i personally liked GKMC more just because it was more fun, but also deep at the same time. this album is still great and definitely the deepest rap album i can remember, but it just doesn't have that "fun" factor, which is fine but still 

it's a focus now, bump later album. the production is definitely car friendly, but the work requires you to digest it for a while before cutting from it and doing single tracks in the car.  the album is phenomenal. Kendrick's rapping is always at his best when he's following his own narrative.

I really like How Much a Diamond Cost and Wesleys Theory.

Like about 6-7 other songs and dislike the rest. Some vocals are really unnecessary in this album. I really dislike the 2nd half of u, alright, and you ain't gotta lie. The album also seems too long for me. He should have cut a couple tracks out imo.

Pretty good album though, don't think I'd go out of my way to see him live, especially after his performance that I saw in 2013 that was so awful.

Yung Lean is ass and would've never been known if it wasn't for Lil B

Apparently his live shows are much better now. He spent some time with Kanye or something and he had a big influence on changing his performances. Think I read that he has bad asthma as well which was an issue for performing live.

 

Anyways I'm liking the album a ton. Couple songs I don't really care for but most of them are gold. Lyrics in U are ridic, especially the second half. 

Just found this nigga, will post more of his shit. He nice with it. Thelonious Martin with another disgustin beat too, nigga never disappoints.

This new Kendrick tho....unf.
hood politics >
Love that track. Mortal Man tho....got me like "Sing About Me" from GKMC. This kid is a living legend.
King Kunta is fire too

When I listened to mortal man the first time, i didnt listen to the end of it completely. I thought, and it sounded like, he was talking to tupac, found out that was the case when i listened completely through. is it supposed to represent a dream or something?

 

listened to the album 3 times now, i enjoy it thouroughly 

 

however, GKMC > TPB

New Earl album next week

then Mr Wonderful a week after that

then Pilot Talk 3 a week after that

plus new Kanye album and Jenny Death dropping any day now

GKMC is better than TPAB.

A nigga from the H'z Global, RetcH and Da$H's squad, dropped a pretty dope project if you ask me.

lls this nigga....... you really love him that much cheeky

where are you from? has ever been to your town?

I'm from the Bronx in NY but I live out in Lawrence in MA right now. He's only done shows in NY, NJ, CA, Miami, and up next is SXSW in Austin I believe. He's from NJ.

If I had the money on me to pick up a 100 pack of xanax I'd be takin the bus to NY for a show on the 24th but I'm broke boyz for another week or two after splurging on clothes last week and food/drugs this week.

Poor ass planning on my part but there will be another show in another dope, small ass venue that I'ma be able to smuggle mad drugs in and make my way to the front of the stage so I could pass this nigga a blunt.

Where in the BX? I used to work on Fordham.
you really swallowin retch's nut

"I would kill someone for this guy"

ignorant.

Anybody have ATH M50's? Thinking about buying them 

I suppose this is Hip-Hop related: The movie Top Five was fucking awesome. To me at least.

Aside from being funny throughout, I really enjoyed seeing the actor's name their actual top five rappers of all time.

They are good but I wouldn't pay over $100 for them now.  

Was reading ALOT of reviews to look for something to upgrade from the sennheisers HD439's, either the 598's  or the M50x's.

 

Would buy the sennheiser momentums 2's but they gotta go down in price

Where in the BX? I used to work on Fordham.

1750 Sedgwick Ave is the building I used to live in, near University road and the Morris Heights. I got homies out there still but I'm only out there if I wanna post up on the block and shoot the shit like old times. Usually chill in Manhattan nowadays when I'm out in NY.

Ya'll bitch ass niggas allowed to be Kanye stan's but I can't respect a real ass nigga like RetcH? Miss me with that shit.

$Ha Hef is also the fuckin truth. H'z nigga all day.
