    kendrick has stated his eminem influence countless times

    I’m not saying Kendrick isn’t influenced by Em, but writing off We Cry Together as an Eminem type song is just a disservice imo

    N95 is better than DNA

    Flow wise definitely. He did like 5 different flows and vocal inflections here

    While I think Kendrick's rapping in general is obviously Eminem inspired I don't think We Cry Together specifically is. That song is literally just how some arguments between couples sound and I don't think Kendrick had to be thinking of Kim to make it

    What because of Kim? I get how it reminds people of Kim but yall use words like ā€œdefinitelyā€ and have nothing to back that up. I can see it if Kendrick got the vocal performance from Kim but wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t because Kendrick has done some really over the top vocal performances before like u to convey an emotion. The song really highlights a lot of toxic relationship argument points in the black community specifically and honestly niggas heard their parents argue like that and sound just like that we didn’t have to get that from Eminem.

    Also the songs do 2 completely different things, one is Eminem releasing his anger in a song that he felt towards his wife. Kendrick’s song isn’t from a place of anger but really just showcasing a point of what a toxic relationship can sound like. I’m not saying he couldn’t have looked at Kim for vocal performance inspiration because I definitely see the similarities whether he did or not and it just rubs me the wrong way to write it off as an Eminem type song when Kim and We Cry Together have 2 completely different messages and are rooted in different things, Kim is fantasy while We Cry Together is directly taken from a lot of our realities

    Plus We Cry is genuinely a good song, it was executed perfectly.

    Literally, bottom of the barrel comparison

    theres a lot of old school west coast rappers that have done the domestic back n forth tracks too, most of ktt is east coast centric tho so it wouldnt surprise me they dont know

    but kendrick IS influenced n calls em as top 10, but he aint his only influence

    Kendrick is closer to Andre 3000 then anyone anyways (the "alien" voice s*** im sure is inspired by him), been saying that since sxn80/gkmc.

    Yeah and I honestly appreciate Kim from a vocal performance perspective but We Cry Together is a performance piece on relationship issues that plague the black community and offer both perspective, Kim is just Eminem’s personal feelings.

    There’s not really any weak tracks on this. Only track I’m kind of eh about is Purple Hearts but the rest of the album ranges from good to some of the best songs Kendrick has ever released.

    thank you

    i wonder if there were more perspective based songs it seems like the prayer and the heart part 5 were a part of an earlier version of this album

    Nah the hearts are always loosies, they are never part of the project. except part 2 which became a track of the mixtape OD.

    All the other hearts tho are always loosies, they are almost never part of the project nor an indicator of what its going to be.

    But all the hearts do fit the same theme: critique and reflection on current events/trends n talks of his current mindstate.

    tl:dr not too different from the usual m.o.

    to me it's the culmination of that and realizing how many rappers actually do suffer from sexual abuse that have to lie and hide it with jewelry and wealth and tatts

    I can see him doing a video that song. It would make for a dope single.

    Even east coast, Rza had that Domestic Violence track.

    but agreed.
