i think kendrick has a lot wider fanbase than lupe ever did, in terms of music fans.

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

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
― instafapper (J0rdan S.), Saturday, 29 September 2012 01:22 (twelve years ago) link

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
― fadanuf4erybody, Saturday, 29 September 2012 22:52 (twelve years ago) link
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

i don't really mind "cartoon & cereal" not being on there, i think it kind of has its own mythology

It's crazy that Interscope is putting Just Blaze AND Dr. Dre on this album just like they did with The Documentary. Are they trying to make Kendrick the new Game?

haha Interscope "putting" Dr. Dre on the album when Dre signed him to Aftermath -- obviously Dre's constant hunger to make a new West Coast superstar provides plenty of Game parallels without the EERIE PRESENCE OF JUST BLAZE
