J.cole on the mixtape talked about: College, Girls, Ambition, Social Issues, Fathers

J.cole on the album talked about: College, Girls, Ambition, Social Issues, Fathers. AND finally reaching his goals.

Like duke said fans are emotionally attached to these artist. Drake is the same artist as well, he just has better beats now, nothings ever changed about drake. I need proof and examples.

I gave you the no-sign. You gave a well-articulated explanation. There are rappers that have great flow but don't oft say much in depth i.e. Busta Rhymes, modern Eminem, Crooked I. Kendrick Lamar doesn't fall in that category

I haven't listened to O.D. in it's entirety but I listened to Section.80 from beginning to end and his songs are purposeful and there are meaningful lines behind his flow. You can't listen to an older album and count it against his newer material because he's obviously still growing as an artist/lyricist/rapper.

Putting Kendrick Lamar in the same category as OFWGKTA is like putting a young Shaq in the same category as the 2011-2012 Clippers. They're good at appeasing their fan base but he's a legend in the making.

meh...hes overrated. good but overrated. hes better with his boys for a couple years. imo, they balance him out. well shit..just schoolboy q really. ab-soul cool but...

i aint hating on him but i just dont wanna see another talented rapper coming out at least trying to talk about sumn go the way of lupe's fiasoes. Im pretty much guessing how good his actual album is going to be is based on how well he assimilates his newfound attention for his hork and all the good and bad shit that comes with that. that being said...he seems like a young dude that likes to kick it too much and thats gone bring more bad shit than good. That being said, unless he pulls a Cee-Lo sissy makeover between now and then, ill download at least half that mu'fucka and if its tight ill buy the physical cd. im jus saying tho, just cause you like an artist dont mean you gotta dick ride him and be blind to critiques, which if expressed intelligently might be seen or heard by the artist which will make for better music if the artist actually give a fuck. but damn...niggas was acting the same way about jay electronica. 2 years i give him. how he get into the game gone make or break him and the niggas high profile already so stakes are higher.

it doesn't matter if he was the dopest mc anyways. Because you guys would find something to bitch about.

Rahlow · April 2012

As a fellow Compton old head, I ain't really diggin Kendricks music but make exception to songs here & there as being creative but that's about it.

I support him on some 'from the same city" comradery but I was never dazzled by his style of rap.

We old niggaz tend be stuck in our ways and more particular about what it is we make exception to when it comes to taste in music style.

BlackGerald · April 2012

Kendrick is the truth

Rahlow · April 2012

there will never be a dopest emcee. people like what they like or what they are told to like. but the point is..hes nowhere near the dopest emcee. maybe comparatively speaking to whats out now...but i listen to shit of all eras thanks to a thing called a .mp3 and im being objective. thats why i mentioned the dudes strengths.

YoungGoldie · April 2012

The Lupe Fiasco way you talked about had less to do with the rapper and more to do with industry and label politics. I'm not saying it was unavoidable, but he's not completely to blame for that. There's no telling what will happen to Lamar because although he's on Aftermath, it's still Interscope... that's a glass half empty/glass half full type deal.

The first track I ever heard from the kid was Rigamortus and that's all the proof anyone should need as far as what Lamar is capable of.

And niggas act the way they do about Lamar and Jay Elec because they don't make excuses about their intelligence, beliefs, or priorities AND they are solid lyricists who don't dumb down or turn rappityrap (Joell Ortiz, Cory Gunz).

We want to see Kendrick Lamar, Jay Electronica, and Big K.R.I.T succede because it means hope ain't lost for the culture. J. Cole's success is cool but those guys are a step up.

damn shame... but at least you not hating

R.D. · April 2012

Kendrick is boring tho

Jay Elec is 50

Big Krit needs diversity

None of those artists are better than Cole, stop being disrespectful

soul rattler · April 2012

Jay Elec is a better rapper than Cole

KRIT is a better producer and song maker than Cole

Kendrick is a better rapper than Cole and has a better ear for beats

...and they all have infinitely better subject matter than Cole

H-Rap 180 · April 2012

I'm a fan of Kendrick Lamars music, I respect him as a man and support him as an artist.

The Black Hippy movement has my support also because it represents the demographics of our communities so well.

Kendrick represents my region and his music has earned my attention with it's maturity, intelligence, honesty, and energy.

I'm not a fan of Hipster-Hop or Weirdo-Rap were skate-boards and cross-dressing is considered trendy, Im a fan of grass-root movements and rappers who I can trust to carry on the essence of the culture without diluting it with outside elements that are in diametrical opposition to the Soul of our culture.

I like the lyrical complexity Kendrick has and his on-off kilter unorthodox flow, I like his subject-matter in addition to his assonance, enunciation, emotion, accent, cadence, breathe control, rhythm, and the emphasis he uses on his internal rhyme schemes that switch effortlessly back and forth from iambic to trochaic to dactylic like he did on the masterpiece "Cartoons & Cereal" .

It pains me that a man of your intellectual stature would deny the brilliance in my brother Kendricks music and movement.

Better is so subjective though. Anyone could argue they are all "better" than Cole, just like anyone could argue Waka, Soulja Boi, and Future are "better" than Cole. It's all about people's opinions, what they like, and what they consider to be "better".

I think they're better in different aspects. Elec is better than Cole lyrically, Kendrick is better in a technical/flow aspect, Krit is a better producer as far as diversity goes. and dont take it as I'm not a cole fan, I'm a big cole fan and his debut was the first physical cd I've bought in years.

You're out of your mind

I agree with you but I'm gonna tell why people like Kendrick , it a similar reason people like J.Cole because in people

minds at least their trying to be thought provoking at least they trying to talk about social issues at least they trying to talk

about positive stuff. People do not want to let Hip Hop go and they want to push the people that at least trying to the

forefront even if they put out shit music. Their emotionally attached to those guys and they would rather see those guys at

the top than Lil Wayne or Nicki Minaj.

uhhh yea? Isn't that faggotry, niggas acting/dressing white shit played out though? It isn't about emotions, serious hip hop heads is tired of pussies in the industry...

"People do not want to let Hip Hop go" Nigga, hip hop gave birth to rap...and rap shit is too easy. But you confused as hell bruh...just like your name. How you an MC and a rapper? It's either or...

Dr.Chemix · April 2012

That black hippy shit is some of the most GAYEST shit ever on the scene

You hipster niggas are down low and don't even know that shit

Shit needs to die yesterday...

A Master of Ceremonies (MC), or Compere, is the host of a staged event or similar performance. An MC usually presents performers, speaks to the audience, and generally keeps the event moving. An MC may also tell jokes or anecdotes.

Rapper: One who performs rap.

but ignorance is bliss.

now if I was an Emcee that would be different
