really? i think it's his best beat in ages, great walking bassline, but we can thank ayers for that i guess

god the version I've got has the titles on the wrong songs; I've been googling lyrics for the last 24 hours trying to match them to tiles.

Someone I know called Kendrick "the male Nicki Minaj" after hearing Backseat Freestyle and meant it derogatorily. But Fennessey kinda hits on that in a good way.

oh hey, there's a remix of The Recipe too

heh at some point last year yela and nicki and others briefly got me thinking about like the project blowed-ification of rap in its battles of the attention wars. kinda wanted noz to pick up the signal really

i was dreading the song "poetic justice" but that janet sample saves the day!

'good kid' is legit the (least punchable therefore) best pharrell thing in years, stop fronting

while i'm at it let the records also show i fully cosign the "failed banger status" judgement for 'the recipe'

like many have said, the recipe is kendrick karaoke, and i have no use for it

i like "good kid", the beat i wouldn't really peg as pharrell if i didn't know, so that's good...almost sounds like they sampled some old james bond song

How many rappers use their real name for artistic purposes?

trying to think of who was the first....gotta be someone before keith murray

Kendrick went by K-Dot for a while. Made the right choice in fairness

his song credits are to Kendrick Duckworth though, guessing that's his last name

^^

Also has anyone used 'lonny breaux tell 'em' as a display name yet?

Well yes, Talib Kweli. What a lazy question. Sorry guys. Good album, etc.

keith murray is before talib

but i think there's someone before keith, this is really bugging me

grandmaster flash?

"Mr and Mrs Flash, it's a boy!"

roxanne shanté?

Lolita Shanté Gooden on November 9, 1969

notorious BIG really was big

god i'm STUPID haha

erick sermon

lol @ me he was even in the same crew as keith

wow if you said one of lolita/roxanne is her stage name and the other is her birth name...most would not have picked correctly

this is a good album but everytime i listen to it i start to get kind of antsy and end up waiting for it to be done or changing to something else before it's over

ugh i only have 200 words to review this nooooooo

oof that would be a tough album to sum up in 200 words

yeah i lobbied for 500-600 words but newspaper industry failing and so on...

can't decide if the lyric "You hired me as a victim" is classic or a little on-the-nose corny

His Al Sh1pley is Kendrick Lamar Duckworth, fwiw

i had 300 to review this and actually found it kinda freeing

dm the link to your review j0rd

it's not running until tomorrow i think

ahhh fair play

is fairplay gunplay's new name?

help I keep listening to the Drake song

I'm sure this will be all on the radio in a couple months and I'll get sick of it, but I don't even care right now.

It's the most attractive Drake's been, like, ever.

yeah it's the kind of relatable drake we don't hear as much of lately in the midst of all his "no lie"-type gangster posturing

I've never found Drake relatable for one second. But he's not embarassing here.
