Gunplay is pretty much the only other rapper to outshine Kendrick on a track. He steals the show on Cartoons & Cereal. MAMA HOW MUCH DRAMA CAN I SUSTAIN!Come to think of it, Drake sorta is. Dude really lives by his own rules and much like Kendrick, everyone else is at his feet. He's also been on his calling people out tip with 5AM in Toronto and all.
Ghetto Symphony is definitely one of the best verses all year.
WHIP IT

Why didnt he call out Ghosface
You know Ghost would eat him alive
My only fear is that we don't get dusty ass rappers try to go in on this.
GAF. I need help. I went in the Kendrick verse thread and realised I am completely out of touch. I know fuck all about Hip Hop in 2013. I need some re-education.
I listen to Hip Hop, but it's Wu-Tang and affiliates, Nas, older Jay-Z (nothing past Black Album), Em, Royce, that sort of thing.
I don't like Kanye (past Dropout and maybe the album after), Wayne, and especially not Drake.
Flows, lyricism and good production are what I look for, and I don't like the trap style beats, if that is the right word. They lack energy.
Any recommendations based on that?
Oh, and I fucking hate the supa dupa flow.

It might not have been the right term, and lacking energy might not have been accurate either, I dunno.Trap beats lack energy? Energy is arguably the reason why trap/ ignorant music dominates boom bap.
I'm so disgusted.Good God man. Hip-hop threads in the OT are awful.
Jay Electronica's verse > Kendrick Lamar's verse.
Man I fucking love KenMasters threads!
Maybe I'm forgetting my history but isn't he the dude who used to post here before people went in on him over Rick Ross?
That makes this 10 times funnier if it's the same guy haha
Can we have a confession thread, given recent events?
I had a chance to go to Kendrick's concert back on June 23rd, and I passed.
If it was a nobody dropping a diss on his mixtape that's cool but Kendrick just went plat, people are listening and they can't let King of NY just slide like that, it holds legendary connotations.Nas and Hov aint worried about Kendrick getting his flex on. They probably sitting back laughing like "ahahaha that's cute" just like when a youngin feels bold enough to buck up to their uncles for the first time.
Kendrick just called himself King of NY doesn't matter if he said Nas and Jay at the top with him because he just came at them too. If this was 15yrs ago and they were young and hot headed, Nas, Jay, Ghost, Rae, G Rap the list goes on would all jump down Kendrick's throat nowadays I don't know. They just better know that Kendrick fired shots at them. You can't say I'm the king of new York except for Nas, Big, Jay et al.

I liked the Gangsta Rap made me do it album. But that was like one of my first introductions to Cube and after hearing just about everything else he has done, I should probably avoid revisiting that.
Because of the escalation with violence?
It used to, these days it means absolutely jackshit.
Papoose does it always
I can name 10 kings of NY off the top of my head.. everyone from NY is the King or runs NY

Exactly, every little Wayne/Fabo/Jay Z/Nas sound alike with no distinct personality and an ego that doesn't match his skill calls himself the king of new york. It's an abandoned throne for the moment. It's like watching a bunch of a no land having low level lords squabble over a throne abandoned by a king who wanted to go run a company somewhere instead of sit there with a meaningless title. Who gives a fuck if you are the king of new york if you can't even feed yourself. CEO of New York should be the new coveted title.
lol
Verse wasn't really that good..
it was good but it wasn't historic or anything
What has Jay Elec spit on recently?
I was only aware of the Mac Miller feature before this track.....
Can't believe Doris has made it for this long.Goddamn. I surely would've hoped I heard Doris by now. I'm starving in these streets.

Lupe is self aware of the hate and criticism but instead of calming down, he put it into overdrive and increased his antics. It's moronic and I'm slowly losing respect for him but I still have a small glimmer of hope for the dude.

Why does gafhop think these things deserve there own threads and why does gafhop only hype mainstream rap?
