What I don't get is why he thought he was gonna get a doggystyle or chronic outta kendrick. That tells me he didn't really listen to section 80 or OD... Im listenin to good kid right now.. its a good concept album, and a very well put together one at that and to call it trash is either blatant disrespect or a cry for attention... and if he's familiar with anything from kendrick he'd know that kendrick never called himself the saviour of hiphop or the west or any of that...shyne is the only one who bought into all that... he's is living in a time-warp and thinks he knows what west coast music is supposta sound like... he's a overrated 2000 eastcoast rapper speakin on an over-hyped 2012 westcoast rapper...

its funny cuz cats always clown the west for our "carnival beats" (i remember someone sayin a while back) but get upset when a west coast rapper tries to break out that box and challenge that stigma. Its a stereotype. One that media portrays, too. Even when the west wasn't doing numbers, whenever you'd see a commercial trying to sell a product to young heads they would play a knock-off of a west coast gangsta beat (like theyre doing with dubstep now)...

In fact, that's one of the reasons I didn't listen to kendrick immediately... figured he wuz just another compton nigga braggin over westcoast beats... ironically, i think what shyne was expecting is what nipsey woulda brought to the table if dre hadnt passed on him... /rant

@high rev

kanye west - so appalled

I think Black people (capital B) need this video... it really shows how popular "hip hop" has devolved into a modern day minstrel show and the effects it has on our people... the irony is the title and the beat made me think Lupe had completely sold out, especially since yesterday MTV premiered the video at the same time on all of its stations (again, irony...) and I didn't catch it til today when I watched it on the biggest minstrel show in media history (cough* worldstar* cough)

@RuffDraft

I like Atmosphere at times, and Slug can spit but that shit was wack and I think Bitch Bad had a deeper message, but that's just my opinion.... even Murs' latest hit harder...

this track bumps in the whip... and Slick Rick lightweight killd it....
