Also, there's an industry push to get her an Album of the Year Grammy so expect this album to get a 98/99 on metacritic when it's all said and done.

Every hip hop show is not saying that lol. That was dehh which has kind of aged out of the space

The real shows saying drake needs to respond but Kendrick been catching more than a few jokes him and Andre been punching bags

I know, I know some do

Okay, let's just say that the spaces you frequent are saying different stuff from the ones the rest of us frequent. That seems fair enough.

Let’s test everyone’s hip-hop taste: What’s your favourite J Cole S*** bar?

There is definitely a meaning in Pablo it’s actually completely obvious

What are you talking about

This thread has more replies in a week than the PND thread has had for nearly 5 years

But where do you see that?

The “rap media” thing lowkey ties in with the critical/media aspect. He’s definitely a media darling too. Assuming you’re talking about the biggest outlets like Ebro or something, who no one is listening to anymore

Rap fans, which ones? Because a lot of the loudest rap fans now are the redditors. Yes Kendrick is also a white people darling. So white hip hop fans are very loud in their support for him on places like Twitter or Reddit

But whenever I see an actual hip hop conversation Kendrick and the mid steppers getting clowned.

We need Cole on the Think You The S*** remix

I know it has, I meant others "hidden" and "secrets" and "things you missed" type of meanings, you know?

2words statpadding the thread pages with the most garbage arguments ever once again

"the real shows"

dehh, joe budden podcast, dissect folks. I'm not gonna say i check every front but just as many people support kendrick here as drake.

but i understand i wont convince you myself. either way, i think you're making a comically large speculative jump from "people made jokes about his album" to "hip hop doesnt respect him"

like people make jokes about 3k but best believe everyone is taking that rap feature if he puts it on the table

Nope that’s complete bullshit

Literally just white people trying to do mental gymnastics to make their brains okay with vulgar lyrics that offended them

There's definitely a meaning to the whole project, and it's probably the most "ye" album ever

what I meant was, for example, I saw people write f***ing dissertations on the wolves verse by ye

and it's just not that deep, it's just ye being ye

Everyone has an ulterior motive with their thoughts and opinions they post itt

Except me

"but you see the sandwich is a metaphor for"

I disagree with that comparison. It's challenging to directly compare the engagement of different threads, as they may have different topics, audiences, or levels of activity. Each thread has its own unique dynamics and reasons for its level of participation.

It's unlikely that everyone else has an ulterior motive, while you are the exception. People participate in discussions for various reasons, including sharing perspectives, seeking information, or simply engaging in conversation. Assuming ulterior motives for everyone else could be a bit of an overgeneralization.

Chatgpt sounding ass

Dissect not a hip hop show. See it’s a problem when we start appealing to that dude as an authority.

Rap roundtable one of the best. And it goes beyond a few jokes, Morale wasn’t received well and I just don’t think hip hop fans in general are as biased to Kendrick as divine was saying

I respectfully disagree with the characterization of my response. My intention is to maintain a respectful and helpful demeanor in our conversation. If there's anything specific you'd like to discuss or any feedback you have, I'm here to listen.

can you imagine at the height of biggie vs pac or nas vs jay that one of them would be an absolute b**** and do nothing but post cutie captions for social media.

Yeah I think people went way too deep with that album

I disagree with that characterization. It's unfair to reduce an artist's entire persona and career to their social media activity. Artists express themselves in various ways, and engagement with social media doesn't necessarily diminish their contributions to hip-hop or their artistic integrity. It's important to consider the broader context of an artist's work and impact rather than focusing solely on their social media presence.
