Len Cnut Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 He's a serious toker too, Bronson. Ever watch that weird panel show thing Snoop does where rappers meet up with him and smoke weed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay410 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 (edited) I used Me Against the World as an example of Pac being a very emotional, or sensitive rapper. Sonically of we're comparing a Pac album to TPAB, I think the serious parts of All Eyez on Me with the large g funk influence. The first track is practically a cover of "U Can't C Me." But content wise there is a lot of earlier Pac. I guess my main point is Kendrick is the only rapper, perhaps the first in a decade, to come out new and be analogous to 2pac in any way, he deserves every and any accolade TPAB brings him.

You could use any one of his albums to prove that point. They all have elements of that. But you can't compare Kendrick Lamar to tupac man. Cuz he mentions a few issues in the black community? We'll see what happens but I don't see him having a tenth of the impact tupac had regarding these issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len Cnut Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I think alls T is saying is that if you're gonna cane Kendrick for being sensitive you can't not make that critique of Pac. And he has a point. And i got no problem with mans getting sensitive when they rap, thats not my criticism of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drtydane Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I personally never said anything about him being sensitive. Just shows you can be diverse in your art. Nobody wants to hear the same song regurgitated over and over. Hell just look at axl if we're talking about artists that have soft sides. That being said Im gunna listen to the new album tonight.

TeeJay410 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 This is a good article for the "Kendrick is great but not one of the greatest, yet" factionhttp://www.laweekly.com/music/nobody-hates-kendrick-lamar-5437598I like the LeBron to Jordan comparison, Kendrick being LeBron and Pac being Jordan. Kendrick and LeBron are more inherently talented than their past counterpart, but can't find how to mean as much as they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drtydane Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) I must have read that wrong. You think he's got more talent than tupac? Based on his TWO albums, regardless of what your opinion on said albums are, there's no comparison. 2pac is one of the greatest entertainers of all time.

The original g-funk, to me, is some of the best music to ever come out of hip hop.This is a good article for the "Kendrick is great but not one of the greatest, yet" factionhttp://www.laweekly.com/music/nobody-hates-kendrick-lamar-5437598I like the LeBron to Jordan comparison, Kendrick being LeBron and Pac being Jordan.

But I must admit, saying Kendrick and LeBron are more talented than Pac and Jordan...that is a bold statement my friend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like it's just meant to be taken for granted. It's something thats not necessarily the case with real hip hop heads. Not saying if you think Pac is then you ain't a real hip hop head, just meant that they don't all take it for granted, in fact they're a minority, the ones that call Pac the best.

My friend once tried putting me on and I couldn't get into it.The ones that turned me on at first were Guillotine and I Want it I Need It (Death Heated), which are both on their first mixtape, Exmilitary. No Love (1/2 of a title track I guess, sort of like good kid or mAAd city) on No Love Deep Web is one of my favorites as well but that took me a little longer to come around to. I'd suggest starting with the first two I said and then if you're on board with that downloading Exmilitary and then going from there.edit: others who listen to Death Grips are more than welcome to chime in here. They're pretty damn eclectic so it's worth having more than one opinion. Edited March 21, 2015 by Mansin Humanity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay410 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 The more talented thing is on a technical level. All the love in the world to Pac, but he was never a lyrical wizard as far as nerdy rap with 80 rhymes in a bar, multi syllabic rhyming, switching flows within flows, etc like Eminem for example. Kendrick has displayed that ability. And it's been pretty well established that in terms of raw talent, LeBron is a physical freak who, intangibles aside, is untouchable. A 6'8-9 260 lb monster who runs a 4.4 40, incredible efficiency, yadda yadda. But the point of that quip in the article is that all these things aside, they haven't quite reached the peaks of Jordan and Pac, and may never be able to.

Len Cnut Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 The whiteboy is lethal. He's done so much in the game its difficult to think where he should go. Yknow what I'd do if i was him? Battle all the top battle rappers out there and just fuckin' ether the lot of em, i seriously think he could do it and thats never been done before, for a rapper to get massive but then still go back and handle business. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
