Word. but it might differ from person to person. I know I can't fuck with it unless my mind is clear, otherwise it just takes all the junk and makes the pile seem 30x larger.

The World's End depressed me a lot. I don't want nothing to drink or anything.

We had this discussion about Kendrick. Remember quite a few people ITT didn't think he'd sell either. Q's hometown is LA and he has KDot features on his shit. He's not going to go gold, but he'll sell just fine.
The last third of that film man.
Blackace
if you see me in a fight with a bear, don't help me fool, help the bear!
He needs the Dre blessing
He needs Swimming Pools.
I doubt the mainstream really even knows yet that Dre was a big part of what made GKMC so good.
To sell Kendrick numbers maybe...
Honestly would not be surprised if he ended up with a Macklemore feature on Oxy. Calling it now.

I've never been so sad that I wanted to not drink. And my adoptive dad's funeral is Sat and the family doesn't want me there because I'm not blood.
True. That's why he won't go plat or gold, but he'll be fine regardless. He makes more entertaining songs that anybody on Black Hippy. He has the spot as the ignant fun rapper of the crew.

I can ride with GKMC, but nothing about it elicits any connection to any time or place. Maybe give it five years and try again, but as of now.. definitely not a classic. Great album though. And I kind of feel Buddens was right about it having few if any quotables.

I'm coming too, Dying in the Pussy on repeat.
it doesnt need quotables.

I guess being memorable isn't important for a classic either.
That's fucking trifling. My condolences.
Yeah. Even then it has those.
GKMC already strikes a nostalgic time for me, but that has more to do with life at the time.

I thought the album was finished for the most part before Dre came on board?
Damn man, I'm sorry.
I've been in bad spots mentally once or twice where I decided it would probably be better to not drink.

An album doesnt have to have a few "clever" or "catchy" lines for it to be memorable, but I agree that it does help
I didn't even know the song was unliked

Sorry, didn't mean to get all LOOK AT ME and shit. Thanks though.
Collard Greens is a great song. Great song.
Yeah, but my bro "wants to be alone" and I'm trying to respect that. Not going to lie, it kinda hurt. But I look at it from their perspective. They knew me as the weird homeless kid they took on. They can't really understand what he meant to me. I don't expect them to. But I mean, shit, it's not like I wanted to say shit. Just wanted to say my respects to my only hero. Fuck it, I'll poor out a Michelob (he drank like, a six pack a day and was still smarter than most people) and hit the gym.

That's fucked up man
Do they know how close you guys were or no?

the whole songs are memorable. assigning memorability based on quotables is some basic ass shit.
I know Kendrick had ideas, but this is the first I've heard of this. Kendrick locked in with Dre much earlier than it got publicized though. Dre and Ali spent a lot of time together too.
It's a really good song, but it's not the smash single that will make people accept Q instead of tossing him away as another rapper.

Nah, we all share problems with each other. Sometimes it's great to get something off your chest.
Also, Budden saying that is exactly why his music is as stale as it is now
Do you watch movies for the one-liners?

I love Collard Greens too.
I always hear m.A.A.d. city the song from time to time, was it released as a single?
'Ya Bish' got it's own website for just that line, so he must've done something right.
What? That's just disgusting to me. The hell.
"Pray my dick get big as the Eiffel Tower"
"Ya bish"
"Bitch don't kill my vibe". I've seen teenage girls wearing shirts and hats in the suburbs.
Kendrick left his mark brehs. The suburbs man.

You even following the conversation?
We're discussing a lyrical art and a lyrical artist, so that would be a basic difference. Even so, most people I talk to have scenes from their favorite movies that they can recite and relive. What are you arguing the equivalent to be here? Being able to hum it?

This is why Budden is irrelevant: punchline rappers don't make good albums anymore. GKMC isn't about quotables. Lyrically it's a great album, and very poetic. It not being lyrical miracle spherical shit doesn't take anything away from it
good beat + stellar songwriting. youre missing the point so bad.
Budden hasn't been a punchline rapper for a decade. It's like.. the complete opposite.
Though I do suppose people stopped listening after Pump It Up, but yeah.

Oh yea I've forgot about "Bitch, don't kill my vibe". Tons of chicks wearing those tank tops.
GKMC is such a strong cohesive whole that separating the album into one-liners or merely focusing in on its climatic moments seems kinda pointless.
Hopefully one day Kendrick writes songs about Stuck in the Naughties ninjas for posts like this

I just hope he starts rapping about his Basquiat on the wall.

I feel for Esch. No one is going to ever forget you liking MCHG. When you die I imagine someone will carve "He enjoyed MCHG" on your grave.
