    That's one album in his discography and I conceded that a good portion of that is pretty tonedeaf and bougie. Bro is a capitalist at day's end don't expect too much lmao

    But S.80-DAMN. bro was on point 90% of the time, 100% of the time in the case of GKMC and 99% in the case of TPAB ("Mortal Man" was kinda corny if well intentioned)

    Again I don't expect s*** but I won't pretend like he's different from any white liberal girl thats going around doing charity. He is a grown ass man with a lot of reach and money.

    yeah there’s a huge void for dudes that actually are well versed in hip-hop (and actually like the genre at that) that make reviews, discuss albums or whatever else

    the fact someone like Fantano has actual sway over what people think about hip hop is mind boggling lol

    And the worst part is that, relative to Adam 22, DJ Akademiks, Trap Lore Ross, etc, Fantano is by far one of the better ones

    Y’all really done turned on Kendrick.

    And KTT has really become a Drake Stan site

    i mean when you make half of the mod team drake stans what do you expect lmao

    a drake hate thread can’t even make it past 2-3 pages and all kanye threads get banished into the sxn

    But what other capitalist is doing significantly more than Kendrick that isn't also tax deductible or a financial earmark on some organization to advance a private agenda of their own

    that trap lore ross guy does genuinely good work research wise but it is pretty disgusting that the dude is a what, a Brit that is studying gangs, shootings and beefs?

    it’s like he’s doing anthropology or some s***

    Or just celebrate the fact that Drake dropped an awesome EP and a decent solo album, certainly one of his better ones in recent years

    I respect TPAB for its ambition, passion, and scope but the whole comparing himself to Nelson Mandela thing was so lame

    I don't even fault him for the fake Pac interview, it has its place in Kendrick's lore and personal story. But defending a bunch of random famous black people that run the gamut from Malcolm X to Michael Jackson and lumping them all together was peak #BlackExcellence liberalism lmao, never mind comparing himself to Nelson Mandela because he dropped back to back classics

    I do notice that of the white people I interact with, usually in academic contexts, they'll always say I don't like rap BUT I do like Kendrick Lamar and his art (and sometimes they'll like Eminem too). I've found this happen a lot. In my anecdotal experience he's seen as the liberal/progressive friendly, academic option when that's not always the case in my experience.

    Truly don't get why Drake stans can't just be happy for Drake lol

    Literally nobody is coming at dude right now. Scary Hours 3 is remarkable and FATD is one of his better recent albums and aside from Travis Scott and Taylor Swift nobody in music right now is in his commercial orbit, let alone ahead of him. This is a great moment for his career and y'all are whining about nothing lol.

    Kendrick didn't drop this year bro, Pusha didn't drop this year. It's literally Drake's year, just let him have it

    Expecting better from the country that started the biggest imperialist push and brainwashed their own population to work for economic gain at any cost (at the expense of their own lives and those of others) is a big ask

    Y’all cry like babies when there’s a bait thread for any artist that isn’t Drake lmao.

    OP brings up a good point but y’all see “Drake did better…” and start foaming at the mouth. Drake haters ride his d*** with more efficiency and velocity than the stans do.

    Stans be like that. they can't just like the artist it has to be a lifestyle. Some Drake Stan's were hating on Cole until they worked together. Or Kendrick Stans acting like Kendrick ain't ever had corny bars before and everything is super deep and has to be taken seriously, until he dropped Hillbillies and s*** like that, oh then it's ok to be silly and have fun?
