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?

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

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
― Number None, Monday, 22 October 2012 19:54 (eleven years ago) link
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.
― Van Horn Street, Monday, 22 October 2012 19:57 (eleven years ago) link
keith murray is before talib

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
― lex pretend, Monday, 22 October 2012 20:11 (eleven years ago) link
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
― terrell sug (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 22 October 2012 20:32 (eleven years ago) link
ugh i only have 200 words to review this nooooooo
― king louie riel (rennavate), Monday, 22 October 2012 21:30 (eleven years ago) link
oof that would be a tough album to sum up in 200 words
― terrell sug (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 22 October 2012 21:31 (eleven years ago) link
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

help I keep listening to the Drake song
― Cap'n Hug-a-Thug (The Reverend), Monday, 22 October 2012 23:52 (eleven years ago) link
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.
― Cap'n Hug-a-Thug (The Reverend), Monday, 22 October 2012 23:55 (eleven years ago) link
It's the most attractive Drake's been, like, ever.
― the ones that I'm near most: fellow outcasts and ilxors (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 23 October 2012 00:00 (eleven years ago) link
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
― king louie riel (rennavate), Tuesday, 23 October 2012 00:08 (eleven years ago) link
I've never found Drake relatable for one second. But he's not embarassing here.
― Cap'n Hug-a-Thug (The Reverend), Tuesday, 23 October 2012 00:15 (eleven years ago) link
the drake song is the one moment on the album where i cant help but tune out kendrick for some reason
― fanute da croupier (D-40), Tuesday, 23 October 2012 00:48 (eleven years ago) link
like, the meaning of the words he's saying.
I don't find many artists relatable but it's one of the few times on innumerable collaborations/duets/appearances when he sounds buoyed by the company.
― the ones that I'm near most: fellow outcasts and ilxors (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 23 October 2012 00:50 (eleven years ago) link
anyway, great record i probably wont play that often outside 3-4 tracks

― boxall, Tuesday, 23 October 2012 04:11 (eleven years ago) link
I'm furious that I likely will be buying an album with Drake on it because I really, really like this

hardly a criticism its the nature of 'album-albums' like this
― fanute da croupier (D-40), Tuesday, 23 October 2012 04:14 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah didn't mean it as 'u mad' more like 'it's sad' but prob not untrue, for now I love it and that's enough.
― boxall, Tuesday, 23 October 2012 04:16 (eleven years ago) link
fwiw several listens in, this is a much more coherent and appealing "album of the year" critical orgasm candidate than either My Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Fantasy or Frank Ocean's album
― The Owls of Ja Rule (DJP), Tuesday, 23 October 2012 04:19 (eleven years ago) link
agreed
― fanute da croupier (D-40), Tuesday, 23 October 2012 04:42 (eleven years ago) link
at the risk of being crucified what is it about drake that riles everyone so much
― monotony, Tuesday, 23 October 2012 04:51 (eleven years ago) link
he's pretty terrible for one
― let's have sex and then throw pottery (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 23 October 2012 04:52 (eleven years ago) link
as a personality he can be really aggravating and as a pure rapper he's pretty average but in terms of vision for his music/sound he's kind of unparalleled in contemporary rap
― lil dirk (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 23 October 2012 04:53 (eleven years ago) link
but what do you mean by "pretty terrible"
i dunno i am pretty much a rap dilettante but stuff like "over" and "lord knows" is pure ear candy to me :|

I don't find many artists relatable
Interesting. I'd say for me, listening to music is primarily an empathetic experience, and if I can't relate on some level I don't have any interest in listening at all.
