I do.
Though, I'm a blind supporter of anyone who's from Southeast Asia and is in music.
Nav's mixtape might be complete garbage, but I'll be out there standing up for the dude.
Never heard of Prince Paul eh, Prince Among Thieves pretty much the gold standard

Well yea, there is a reason he is the leader of the new school...
Man, never listened to this before. Unfortunately the rapping is kinda average and uninteresting, but yo, THIS PRODUCTION THO.

which version of kendrick's "i" do you guys prefer, the album version or the single version?
personally i prefer the single version.
personally i prefer the single version.
His writing is levels beyond most rappers. No doubt in my mind that he's top 10 ever. His production and concepts can be questionable, but as far as lyrical content goes he's carrying the torch.
Missed you all!

The album version, the studio version is lackadaisical.
Agreed. He's only had three main albums and two of them are 10/10 albums. He may be no. 1 on my top favorite MCs of all time someday.

I honestly don't know how Kendrick can top TPAB or even on the same level. Kendrick is seriously the best rapper of the decade easily.

That's what they said about Good Kidd......let's see him top TPAB, I know he could do it.

One more quality album and I'm tying him with Jay and Kanye.
Which is funny because I don't like Section 80 or any of his pre-GKMC content.
Andrew Korenchkin
Member
Section 80 I love, but yeah Overly Dedicated is trash can status and his K.Dot stuff is...well it was made by a teenager and you can tell.

Also, I listened to Camp. IT's as bad as you mentioned. Gambino sucks.
OD is fine. Just shows how good his 3 projects that came after really are.

if kendrick tops TPAB he gets the legend pass to just make bad music for the rest of his career.
Album version no question

Which one you prefer between TPAB and GKMC? Also his new work is releasing this year?
Psychological Intellect

TPAB might be my favorite rap album of all time. It's far and away Kendrick's best work.
S.80 and GKMC are pretty close but songs like Sing About Me, Maad City and Money Trees push GKMC over the edge and it's a lot more polished but that's to be expected as he had a record deal with that album. I like the bonus tracks too. S.80 is still really damn good.
Untitled Mastered is one of the best releases of 2016, if it had the live version of untitled 3 and 8, it might be the best release of last year.
I'd assume his next album comes out this year. He's never taken 3 years between albums.

TPAB and GKMC are neck and neck, like TPAB is 5th in my all time favorite and GKMC is 6th.

Fuck Hopsin. Even I can't stand that pretentious excuse for an artist.

He's preachy as hell, but for me the real kicker is the fact that his flow is boring as fuck, he sounds like a nerd, and his beats are atrocious. Dude is garbage.
On another note.....anybody see that the Kings traded Cousins to New Orleans? Jesus christ.

6 track into this new Future and this might be his best project since DS2
I told you man
I'm kinda wondering what HiiiLife is doing on R. Kelly's instagram though...
It gets better too, but yeah, I feel the same way. I'm on my 6th or 7th listen and it is far better than EVOL at this point. I just wish it was a little more consistent throughout.
Andrew Korenchkin
Member
EVOL I enjoyed, but definitely not as good as DS2.
Yeah, it was good at first, but it got stale fast. You can tell that Future rushed it out the door to capitalize on his popularity at the time. Even the layout of the tracks follows a similar flow of the DS2 tracks. I was worried this new project was going to be the same kind of thing; he was releasing it to capitalize on that tour he just had with Drake, and to promote this new upcoming tour, but I have a feeling (tales from my ass) that he has been sitting on some of these tracks for a while and this is a legitimate album. I think that if he would of trimmed the fat and tightened up the tracklist on this album, it could have been as good as DS2. We will see if that opinion changes as time passes though.

I didn't mind the fact that it was more of the same, because the sound was simply so solid.
Whew, gonna check some of them out. Thanks for your recs, they've been useful!Missed you all!

Kendrick just filmed a video in calabasas and filmed one in london a couple weeks ago. Single soon?
When questions like this are asked about artists it's a sign that the artist isn't good but is currently hot for something other than the music.
