Name one socially conscious rap album that was nominated for grammys other than college dropout or outkast @Durkio_World

J Cole was already being socially conscious and telling stories like 4yeo before sing about me nigga......

Jay z also said joe budden and like 500 other rappers in a tweet inspired him i guess joe budden influencing jay z now? Yall bugging good music always inspires people thats not what we talking about when we refer to influence

Woat thread

kanye west
lupe fiasco
jeezy made a socially conscious album in 2008
mos def
common
talib kweli
nas

Yall not rap fans at all

I think Kendrick might be more of an inspiration for artists than a direct influence

I thought yall said the grammys didnt matter? Since when are the grammys an indication of whats cool

nobody is saying that kendrick has influenced cole to start making conscious music dumbass
cole even bit kendrick's flow from goosebumps on this song

This^

How you influence someone that came out after you?

People literally use everyone's flow from time to time. Everyone used migos flow dont mean migos out here influencing jay z and kendrick lmao get out nigga.

You said 4yeo is influenced by sing about me when that literally makes zero sense. Cole has been making songs like that since he started which was my point. You act like sing about me is a particular type of story when it isnt. Kendrick Cole and every other elite conscious rapper have done s*** like that before. Kendrick aint start a sound with sing about me and if he did break it down for the class

The kids aint bumping any of that s*** bro. Common, Lupe fiasco, Talib kweli????
And jeezy??? You talking bout My president is black?? That wasnt socially conscious

niggas in here saying kendrick influenced cole when cole literally had 3 well known projects before gkmc ever dropped

you clearly 14 and werent raised on rap

Well okay then f*** the grammys. Everybody knows the game changed when tpab dropped

This is such a bullshit excuse. Most of yall just dislike the artist and when given the chance to hate, always take it whether the stans are there or not lol.

"We're doing this because their needs to be a counterweight" f*** outta here bruh

Nigga said the recession wasnt a conscious album. It's titled the f***ing recession and dropped during the year of the recession with the american flag draped over him

Superstar was a top 10 hit but but kids werent bumping Lupe

Nah, I'm just hating on Drake this much even tho there are many artists I dislike more

Actually i'm fully grown. And don't pretend you don't know what i'm saying just so you can win the argument.

Listen to the 2nd part of KOD and then listen to the 2nd part of DNA, the way KOD is structured is exactly how DNA is
Sounds like you're a delusional Cole stan who can't accept that Kendrick has influenced Cole multiple times

Kendrick has a special sound not many can emulate tbh. And if they did you could tell it would be straight up jacking. He for sure made concept albums cool again, and many artists that he looked up to coming in the game now look up to him. If nothing else, he is the most respected rapper this decade

drake has influenced x100 as many artists lol

Weird, but do you. At least you admitting to hating.

Dude you're so dumb

He literally uses the migos flow on KOD. Even raps like them

"I stacked up a few ms like my last name was shady". That sounds exactly like what migos or some other trap artist would say.

And no, I'm not a cole stan. Kenny in my top 5 favs you clearly d***eating Kendrick and stretching everything out of your ass. To sit here and claim kendrick influenced cole on some type of level the way pac did both of those rappers is laughable.

dont quote me b. rap not for you
