Kendrick's new album = fire
 

I'm very surprised at what he pulled off...some of the Kendrick purists aint feelin this shit but I feel like he's giving people what he didnt give them on TPAB

DNA, XXX ft U2 (yea, U2), YAH, & FEAR are some of my favorite tracks

He surprised me with LOVE which is def radio friendly and LOYALTY is too.


and I feel like he purposely channeled Drake/Big Sean styles on this album to show the world he can do the shit they do. thats the vibe I'm getting and he definitely borrows their flows on the album

listen to ELEMENT, is that about Big Sean? he starts off with the "Ion give fuck ion ion give a fuck" like that Big Sean track.. And he sings on the shit like Drake.

Gotta listen to it again all the way through but that dna????? That shit goes in

Lmao. So like a day ago im saying Drake and Big sean sound essentially the same now the "other top rapper" is doing the same abysmal shit.

"FEEL" goes in too..

dog this is the hardest shit I've heard since get rich or die trying, on the dead homies.

I dont hear drake or big sean on this .... He did incorporate a lil bit of the new school vibe to it though...

Its hard for Kendrick to sound like anyone even if he emulates them imo.... He's just that good.

Im honestly amazed... this shits like a rap bible for the hood type shit

ELEMENT is too fire

You don't hear Drake or Big Sean on this?...since when was Kendrick known to sing and make catchy jingles? He's got a few catchy phrases and jingles throughout the album

I even get a Kanye/Kid Cudi vibe on the album..tracks like YAH

and on ELEMENT he starts off rapping with Big Sean's style..

I don't give a fuck, I don't give a fuck
I don't give a, I don't give a, I don't give a fuck

[Verse 1]
I'm willin' to die for this shit
I done cried for this shit, might take a life for this shit
Put the Bible down and go eye for an eye for this shit
D.O.T. my enemy, won't catch a vibe for this shit, ayy

Can't name any songs off top but Big Sean rhymes like this on a few tracks

word, that i don't give a fuck line was Big Sean..... Maybe a slick diss.....

Most people in the culture are influenced by those around them, Kendrick took the culture as a whole and incorporated his own style but still doesn't sound like anyone.. the beat choice played a large roll in that

yeah..this shit is crazy. Look out for that Nation album he's dropping Sunday supposedly..

"DAMN" "NATION"..Damnation. Damn has red cover art with M's over his head like horns, NATION will be in blue with the O over his head like a Halo probably

nothing thrills me more than the ineptitude of mainstream hip hop
