"Kendrick Lamar made a good album but I mean it's not really about anything. Swimming Pools is just about getting drunk or whatever and everything else is just like trying to make money."

"Gonna do as my boi kendrick says and dive into a pool full of liquor tonight !!!"

What else happened after that? Or is that all to the story

That's all that's worth talking about. They were talking about African hip hop so the American stuff was just a tangent. My roommate thinks the song Power is about decentralized government though... Nobody contradicted the quote guy if that's what you're asking.

Your friend is reading waaaay too much into that song. Power is about Kanye, it's a supremely personal song as is the rest of that album. He's basically exorcising his demons in song.

 

[Blackace]

Because he is correct

But that's what most entertainers goals are

Pretty much.

Or POUR UP DRANK FADED DRANK FADED DRANK

Sing About Me/Dying of Thirst is definitely not just about making money...2/3s of the album deals with deeper existential issues than you're suggesting.

 

[Tokubetsu]

Yea, I'm listening to Cabana via youtube right now. Underwhelming.

 

[BroggieDoge]

I was listening to the Snoop Lion snippets. Is the album clean? Is there a dirty version on the net?

 

[Esch]

Chill. Borderline forgettable.

Yep.

Yep.

2/3? Really? Nope not buying it

2 to 3 songs maybe and with a theme of growing up in LA and there

He isn't being recklessly destructive but he was reaching for mainstream success

And nothing wrong with that

He had a Lady GaGa track he gives no fucks

 

[DominoKid]

So Afrika Bambataa is gay and possibly a date rapist.
The latter could be some sort of hit job on Bambataa for talking shit about WSHH & UOENO or something like that.

[coldvein]

[DominoKid]

nah folks are pulling his card though. the date rape stuff is what's wild to me.

 

[Emperor Bohe]

Clams x DOOM?

wait whaaaat?

 

[coldvein]

kind of a tangent .. wouldn't it be crazy if somebody like kendrick came out?

 

[Jitters]

I wonder if Kendrick's next LP will be good. I'm worried he has said all he needs to say on GKMC, you know what I mean?

That's basically what happened to J Cole no?

 

[CountBlack]

That's basically what happened to J Cole no?

I just hope he doesn't take off as much time as Cole..

Cole literally took a year off and released barely any music outside of features

Hopefully Kendrick's new work/album is the collab with Cole

 

[The Return of]

Well too bad because Kendrick pretty much confirmed he will take his time to create his next album because he doesn't want to rush it. Besides dude has been teasing GKMC itself for like the past 4 years anyway

 

[R3TRO]

Don't really know where to put this but I finally got around to listening to Janelle Monae's ArchAndroid and dear god where I have been!

Man you're late, and you should probably post that in Pop-Gaf tis more relevant.

Also that swedish rapper Yung Lean is actually cool as fuck, he has really great taste:

Hip Hip Talk With Yung Lean

5th Element


New Spaceghost Purrp

Also new Hefna Gwap Video

...And this Kool A.D. joint is actually bonkers

And last but certainily not least New Amber London track

 

[CRS]

Game of chess anyone?

Koko B Ware

Jeez theres a name from the past.

 

[cacophony]

 

[Blackace]

His next project should be a TDE project


But I have a feeling he will be getting way more features next time

 

[DragonKnight]

Im interested in more rap music like "wishing" by edo g feat. Pete Rock (yes i got it from the Boondocks season 1) . Any suggestions?
