I mean it did take a different course since 2014/15 was the time trap totally took over but TPAB literally had nothing to do with that

generation of alien voices is on the horizon

My Krazy Life followed the same format of GKMC. Without Doubt. A lot of people even said this when it came out. He used the same formula.

u really saying YG sounds anything like Kendrick??

tell me what the format of gkmc was

baby keem birthed kendrick so

Yall just have simple minds and cant see the big picture. Kendrick influenced a ton of s*** and all this pro black music that comes out now with jazzy chords is Kendricks influence

Did I say that or did you say that? GKMC influenced the structure of My Krazy Life. Have you listened to both?

Is the YG connection gonna turn into some s*** about political songs & 90s WC beats?

man tried to sneak logic in there

This thread really proves that Kendrick has influenced or changed NOTHING in the culture

He still made great music tho cant argue against that

Lupe fiasco, Kanye west and common were on the conscious wave in the mainstream before Kendrick.

If we really keep it a buck it was lupe that made it cool to be a lyrical mainstream rapper with food and liquor

Have you listened to both? You can obviously tell one influenced the other. Shouldn’t be much to explain.

And I saw someone else say it. Tory is one of my favorite artists but he formatted his debut album after GKMC too.

You don’t know half of this list?

Nigga said Kendrick influenced pro black and Jazz Beats

Yeah hip hop has never done that before

Right i mean wu tang was socially conscious. White lines grandmaster flash was consious. But i'm talking about post drake s*** because that s*** went away for a while

Quick question, in all seriousness, who in the hell is Buddy?

Nah I do, I know the people in the real world don’t listen to them tho

yes i have which is why im asking you. what's the format of gkmc that's soo specific.

tory's debut album is an r&b rap album that's not kendrick. I admit tory bites a lot from kendrick wayne drake migos everyone but he never came off as someone truly influenced by kendrick. I'll give yall that art of peer pressure song. it's very blatant but comeon now that's like one song that's not specific to his style

People who actually listen to music and understand it on a technical level know exactly what the f*** im talking about mr troy ave fan

I’m a Troy Ave Stan but you don’t see me capping on KTT talking bout fake influence by him

Artist from Compton, he was signed to Pharrell at one point

exactly. Older niggas always say Lupe birthed all these backpack rappers. Wale, Cole, Kendrick, hell even early Drake.

I knew this thread would be about drake lol. He’s engraved in y’all minds and two nothing y’all can do about it 😭

Who cares bro. Half the time when niggas on here talk about influence they mean “who has the most clones”. If you’re an artist with hella successful clones then you must be making mid. Kendrick has the least clones and that says a lot. We’re arguing about different things
