Buck moving to Cash Money must have pissed off childish 50. It's not about the money anymore, because 50 would have gotten the money back if Buck signed. Shit is stupid as fuck.

If you like Common and NO I.D. then fuck yes.
Fixed.
listening him talk on these docs is funny as fuck cause he gets SO into it. im beginning to think its his only source of income cause aside from touring dude aint been musically relevant in like 15 years.

Kendrick has poor flow.

his flow is certainly lacking at times. Like he knows he's got smart lines and he refuses to cut them down to fit with the beat, he clashes with the beats instead.
But he stepped it up for that Drake interlude, flowed well with it there. (Section 80's still a good album though but overall Setbacks > Follow Me Home = S.80 > Long Term 2)

if you see me in a fight with a bear, don't help me fool, help the bear!
Because it is those two and the album is so meh is why people say it sucks..
Like the Firm
I have to figure you are trolling. NO I.D. is on a lot of people's Producer Of The Year lists. Common isnt as good as he use to be, but still better than 90% of the trash that gets pimped in this thread. Blue Sky/Ghetto Dreams/Sweet/Celebrate/The Believer are all much better than "meh". The rest of the album doesnt reach those highs, but is still worth a listen.

Blue Sky is the only song I consider to be a high...
And it's funny how when people comment on what you like they are trolling but when you do you are just "telling the truth"
As for NO ID never said he didn't deserve his props for this year... But people had No ID as poty before the common album..
If you get to wrongly call me out for trolling, i get to do the same. Anyways, I am in no mood to argue, ill just disagree and work on the Gaf-Hop XXX-Mas song.
Between that and the Planet Asia EP (which is freaking great), it warms my heart to hear Madlib finally giving his music to MCs who are worth a damn on the mic.
Damn. I missed a G-Unit page? Fuck me.
After the RED album I can't even fuck with the Documentary anymore. Seriously, the dude's voice just sends my mind straight to mark-ville. The beats are really nice and all, but Game.....Game...yeah. Game. haha I don't even know where to rate it anymore knowing that buster ass motherfucker made it. I swear, after RED and all his creepy stalker shit leading up to RED, he managed to dislodge a 5 mic album from my mind. It's never happened before. Congrats on making your old records fail game. I can't roll around with a straight face with Game knocking, sorry.
Common Album is a flavorless granola bar. Probably good for me, but damned if I'm gonna sit there and chew it.

Last years version of this was incredible. This year is just as good and well produced. Not sure why Big Sean is autotuned. I died of laughter when Plies came in.
Kanye's outfit is PERFECT.

You are good. Sorry, i havnt responded to anyone, i have been been on my phone most of the last 2 days. Between Casinos, strip clubs, and parties, i havnt had much time to respond.
I love those songs (minus Celebrate, it's alright), but I think Gold and Cloth deserve to be right there, and I think Gold is better than Blue Sky and Sweet as well.
Complex Shadow

omg rick ross and Young Money crew LOL
I like those as well, just not as much. Blue Sky is probably my favorite song from this year.

I love the production on Sweet.

The thing about Kendrick that keeps me from enjoying him 100% is his voice. Everything else is gravy.

Yes.
Accurate way of putting it though is that he has an inconsistent flow. Flowing one second, trying to do some spoken word shit irregardless of beat another second.

Pretty much. Every now and then he "gets" it (Rigamortis, Ronald Regan Era) but most of the time, he's just so stuck on trying to say some deep or clever shit he just forgets about the beat. He's voice isn't that great to begin with either. While Kendrick maybe the superior technical rapper, as far as sounding goes, everyone else in/on TDE shits all over him.

Gotta rewatch it now. Wifey material. For real though, I do like Common's new album.
Q's Druggys With Hoes verse is verse of the year.
Like I have said before, every new thing I hear from XV is better and better. I am legitimately hyped for his Debut.

His flow is just different from the rest of the common rappers imo, he adds an accent but at least he doesnt push that grasp voice like Jeezy. That is why I dont really care for J-Rock, Schoolboy raps about weed to much and Ab-soul I do like. But Kendrick raps about real life problems and such, which is why I prefer him over the others. The message is more important then hoes, weed, and ghetto this and that. Kendrick does talk about all those things but not overly so.

We're not saying he's terrible just that his lows are MUCH lower than his highs are high. Hol Up has too good of production for lyrics this bad
Haha, his delivery makes that line bearable. But he suffers a lot for stupid lines like that. It still amazes me Cole gets shitted on, yet every other Rapper has lame bars and people just ignore them.
njean777

Well from what I have heard from Cole is nothing but lame bars, sans a very few of his songs. Kendrick does have funny or lame bars depends on how you take them, but at least he talks about social issues and such. J.Cole not as much. Maybe I am just a social issues rap fan, but this money, cars, and hoes crap has just about tired me out of most hip hop these days.
I think you've found a way to articulate how I feel about Kendrick better than I ever could.
Dude has so much potential, sometimes it's just mismanaged. Kendrick is blessed with and should be thankful for such amazing production, because a lot of the times it makes his shittier raps bearable. That Talib comparison is kinda scary accurate though.
Kendrick is at a make/break point in his career, let's hope he can find a good way to manage all that creativity and pump out more HiiiPowers and Keisha's Songs.
Cole talks about social issues, and is able to coherently convey them way better than Kendrick can. Whether they are issues relevant to you is another issue entirely, but Kendrick is a bit overzealous at times.
Damn, this is a really good track. XV has grabbed my attention this year.

Really? The vast majority of Cole songs are about social issues
