CliffyByrowhoever posted vipassana, yeah that songs good but it came out like 3+ years ago, his music has changed a lot since. it's not about the radio only playing thrift shop, that whole album was commercial garbage. kendrick keeps it real, you can't compare the two at all apart from putting them at opposite ends of a scale.
MothaHuckerJAY ROCK IS SLEPT ON WAY TOO HARD
JUST WAIT FOR THAT ALBUM TO DROP
cool_namei agree with that entire post except for the whole album was commercial garbage part, was it as good as his earlier stuff personally i dont think so, but it was still a really good album. The only song i didnt like on it was same love
AK-Pow29What album do you guys think is better? Oxymoron or These Days...? I'm leaning towards These Days...
.Rybak.Theyre both pretty good. Im leaning more towards these days because I havent over played it yet.

dandersonThey're both jokes. No one legitimately likes those albums, guy.

AK-Pow29I hope that's sarcastic man. Fuck Wayne and Drake. Fuck all of YMCMB
K-Dot.A few thoughts:
I'm really glad that Kendrick never even said Macklemore's name on the control verse. To me that was the biggest diss on that track.
Also, everyone forgets about Ryan Lewis. Macklemore's flow is generic and half of that CD feels like he's just filling space between hooks. Ryan's production is really the only thing that is impressive to me on the Heist. I feel like he won that Grammy more than Macklemore.
Isaiah Rashad is a boss.
Kendricks next album will be his defining point in hip hop. If he's able to top gkmc then the game is his. Macklemore will only be known as a radio rapper and probably fade into obscurity or just keep making radio hits with simple ideas and catchy beats.
.Rybak.Says the person with the chief keef icons.
.Rybak.I'm stoked for kendricks next album. I don't want to get too excited though because what if it's not as good as gkmc.
dandersonHmm possibly, but hold on, wait, he seems to be getting over 200,000 views in a couple days on every video he's uploaded this year so no, sorry.
K-Dot.Popularity doesn't determine skill. Sure it's really just an opinion but you can't deny that chief Keef really isn't a great rapper. Besides, someone like riff raff is way more interesting and internet famous for not being the greatest rapper. Chief Keef just gets lost in the sea of other trap rappers these days
dandersonYou NS dickheads thinks lyricism is EVERYTHING. No, he is a good rapper. He is a melodic genius and top-tier and making shit sound good. And he's a drill rapper (pioneer of drill at that), not trap.
CrutchKillerMore like drilling ass
If you listen to sosa for any reason other then getting ignant while boarderline blackout then you're a lost soul

K-Dot.Alright, no. Lyricism isn't everything. I'm not some fanboy that jacks off to slaughterhouse verses cause of all the word play. I am a fan of riff raff because of his antics and entertainment value. The guy is just fucking crazy and interesting. Chief Keef isn't saying anything new. Or fun. Or extremely noticeable. Sure he's at the forefront of drill, a subcategory of trap, I'll give you that. But what does he really have? If you enjoy him then that's fine but don't go around saying he's bringing anything new to the table or is even remotely on the level of someone like kendrick.

gerbearTrick question...Both are terrible.
I guess Macklemore is decent if anything....But Kendrick Lamar is just bad...
There's that meme floating around the internet somewhere with a pic of Tupac that says "If I were still alive, Lil Wayne would be working at McDonalds right now"...I think the same stands for pretty much all of the rap artists these days.
As a society, we've become accustomed to terrible fucking music, and it makes me sad.

my vote is for Danny brown, I'm not even sure if he is a real person or a cartoon
dandersonLiterally everything Kendrick is doing has been done before tho.. like 10-15 years ago..
Name another artist that sounds, vibes, and creates like like Chief Keef. I'll wait.
K-Dot.Okay by now you must just be trolling or have never been on datpiff because generic trap rap is basically everywhere you look these days. I'm not saying that Kendrick reinvented the wheel. But he brought life to the west coast again and has his own interesting stories that he can articulate well. He doesn't rely on typical rap themes like promoting gang violence or drugs or money to make himself sound cool. He doesn't seem to be obsessed with his self image, or creating a fake one, like a lot of rappers which is a nice thing. He definitely is atypical so to say he isn't doing something new is ignorant. Maybe traits can be found in chief Keef that make him interesting and different to you but I'm just not seeing it.
