(which, to not contradict myself, is why people have responded to him in a way that feels closer to nas than the others)
nah his career so far is v similar to Jay Electronica, scarcity of material aside
― some dude, Monday, 20 August 2012 11:36 (twelve years ago) link
Sort of - but if you look into it TDE and Kendrick have tons of material, more charisma, and maybe even release dates.
― BMICHAEL, Monday, 20 August 2012 22:10 (twelve years ago) link
i don't feel very compelled to look into it since "The Recipe" and "Swimming Pools" make him seem less charismatic than Nas

this is so stupid

i think kendrick has a lot wider fanbase than lupe ever did, in terms of music fans.
― protected by kl0pper. stand back (D-40), Monday, 20 August 2012 23:54 (twelve years ago) link
doesnt mean larger per se, although im sure hes on the way, but i hear a lot of ppl who would never have checked w/ lupe beyond 'that kick push song is cool' going all-in with kendrick as an artist
― protected by kl0pper. stand back (D-40), Monday, 20 August 2012 23:55 (twelve years ago) link
I'd say Lupe is way closer to Nas than any of them are to Kendrick.

Following in Lupe's footsteps (he played this a couple of years back IIRC):

at his show in chicago last weekend he brought lupe out (to wild cheers & chants, lol) and lupe said that kendrick would be getting the "next big thing award" and "lupe fiasco's outstanding fan awards" or some such shit

Kendrick Lamar @kendricklamarNope. Wrong track list.

he doesn't say it's entirely fake though
― Number None, Friday, 28 September 2012 22:18 (twelve years ago) link
some of that is real but it's also missing some confirmed tracks (protip" if you're gonna make a fake tracklist at least remember to put the biggest hit single on there) and just scans as pretty fake to me. also none of the big rap blogs posted it.
― instafapper (J0rdan S.), Friday, 28 September 2012 22:48 (twelve years ago) link
that drake song is real tho i think
― instafapper (J0rdan S.), Friday, 28 September 2012 22:49 (twelve years ago) link
the Drake song and "Dying of Thirst" are both real
I love Section.80 but more and more I'm thinking there's no way that this isn't gonna be a big disappointment, great as "Cartoons & Cereal" is
― fadanuf4erybody, Saturday, 29 September 2012 00:47 (twelve years ago) link
i don't know -- i haven't heard anything beyond the two singles but i trust kendrick to have pretty good quality control. both in talking to him and in hearing the stuff that's come out since section.80 i have a hard time believing it won't be a pretty good major label debut. i really got the sense that he makes the music he wants to make so i don't think it's gonna be far from an A&R'd shitpile, but i also think he's good enough that it's not gonna feel like a glorified mixtape a la krit's album.
he told me he did a song with damien marley so that might be on there as well tho i think that they still haven't figured out what exactly is gonna be on the record
― instafapper (J0rdan S.), Saturday, 29 September 2012 01:21 (twelve years ago) link
so i don't think it's gonna be far from an A&R'd shitpile
scratch "don't" from this

ya recipe is so dope
― flopson, Saturday, 29 September 2012 19:49 (twelve years ago) link
realizing that kendrick says "what more can i say?" in the chorus deepened my indifference towards that song
― instafapper (J0rdan S.), Saturday, 29 September 2012 21:02 (twelve years ago) link
that J0rdan post a few posts up assuages my concerns a bit--i kinda thought "swimming pools" was underwhelming and the announcement of that Gaga collabo really had me thinking it was gonna be "an A&R'd shitpile"
still not totally on board with the recipe but i like it a lot more than when i first heard it
― fadanuf4erybody, Saturday, 29 September 2012 21:55 (twelve years ago) link
kendrick & gaga make total sense to me as a friendship... i get how they could just talk for hours on the phone. their personalities and how they approach music and work within their genres seem very congruous to me. i have no idea if the song is going to be good or not (tho i'm excited to hear it) but i don't think it's gonna sound like kendrick rapping over "paparazzi" or w/e
― instafapper (J0rdan S.), Saturday, 29 September 2012 22:03 (twelve years ago) link
the Gaga thing seemed to be more about her being a fan and wanting to work w/ him and up his profile than a Wale kind of deal where she was roped in by some label person as a stab at helping him sell records
― some dude, Saturday, 29 September 2012 22:07 (twelve years ago) link
rap + Gaga has generally been a disaster thus far but i could see it working at some point -- maybe not on a song called "Partynauseous" but still
― some dude, Saturday, 29 September 2012 22:08 (twelve years ago) link
yeah my understanding was that she called him to say she was a fan and they kind of hit it off from there and eventually got in the studio together
― instafapper (J0rdan S.), Saturday, 29 September 2012 22:09 (twelve years ago) link
well looks like i didn't look into this enough. just the title + memories of "chillin" and that christina aguilera joint t.i. did a few years ago led me to expect the worst

wanna go on record as saying i also love recipeso there's a moment where we're on the same page deeji'm cautiously hopeful on this album after listing .80 in the ground but the guestlist is making me nervous
