To me Kendricks songs are a mix of nonsense lyrics with the grunting of DMX with a more course voice. Honestly my definition of groundbreaking music hasn't been met lately because everyone between the ages of 18-21 like the nonsense bullshit like this.
The last unique sound I heard was probably foster the people.
These days it's not about being unique, it's about meeting the definition of a genre.
Want to play Indie music, cool, go light on vocals and add a few claps.
Want to make a good rap song, oh no, don't worry about telling a story. As long as the words rhyme and you sound upset and say fuck you'll make sales.
There will never be another Nirvana. There will never be another Oasis. There will never be another Rolling Stones.
So by all means, you guys can go swim in a pool of Kendrick Lamars semen all day and lap it up but the guy is just another shit bit rap star without a story to tell
Kendrick doesn't have any talent lmao I'm sorry. Show me anything he has done that requires talent.
I'd rather listen to Bizzy Bone, seriously.
What are you trying to imply?
David Sullivan
I feel deeply sorry for the young people like you who grew up listening Kendrick and his friends. My daughter will grow up surrounded by actual music from Pink Floyd to Metallica to Nirvana, Oasis, and Foo Fighters. Bands that played music, not digital rubbish from some gangster wannabe
Anyone who think Kendrick's music is groundbreaking should consider suicide. Even in Hip Hop, he is not good, listen to Bizzy Bone.
Carter Ortiz
>My daughter will grow up surrounded by actual music from Pink Floyd to Metallica to Nirvana, Oasis, and Foo Fighters
wonderful bait
Carter Nelson
I'm not baiting. Again, what are you implying?
Asher Hill
If you're not baiting then I feel sad for your daughter. She should be raised listening to Classical/Baroque/Romantic music, not crap like Metallica and Oasis. You do her the same thing your illiterate parents did to you.
Tyler Turner
Buttrock is hardly better than rap Foo Fighters? Come on dude that pure radio garbage
Carter James
Are you trying to imply that Classical/Baroque/Romantic music is better than Rock?
I stop you right there.
A virtuoso rock guitarist such as Jimi Hendrix could certainly hold his own against Franz Liszt. Bob Dylan’s lyrics are more complex and deeper, on average, than the librettos of Mozart’s operas. There’s a good case that the Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds was as complex as a Haydn string quartet, and Nirvana was every bit as groundbreaking as Beethoven
Jose Johnson
Maybe in a few cases, but Foo Fighters and Oasis are pretty simple music.
Owen Martinez
You had me up until foo fighters

Stop baiting and get a life for god's sake. he's baiting man
Dominic Richardson
Foo Fighters is good music. It's prime 90s alternative rock, full of intricate melody that touch the deepest of your earth
And I didn't mention Frank Zappa, who IMO was just as sophisticated as Classical musician like Bach.
Cooper Martinez
Fuck off boomer
Brandon Thompson
>This is literally a ripped off post from Quora you shitty nigger. Stop baiting and get a life for god's sake. Actually I read that Quora answer and I thought that she expressed my sentiments very well, so I copied it but removed parts with which I disagree.
And I'm not baiting. I just "sampled" a Quora answer.
>so I copied it but removed parts with which I disagree Lmao, I almost pissed in my pants from laughing so hard. You're actually a genius shitposter, I'll give you that at least.
>course voice >course Is that pic a portrait of you?

This song is a nice summary of everything bad about Hip Hop nowadays.
There is a weird useless autotune on his voice because he can't sing.
Then they start to make gun sounds with their mouth(BLOW) to appear tough even though it just makes them sounds like stupid kids playing with Nerf guns.
The lyrics are non-sense but as long as there are multi-syllabic rhymes who cares? Nobody! Stuffs like : >And I run it >That's ironic ... are stupid as fuck but he think he is smart because he made a slant rhyme.
Then he remove the weird voice effect(I guess you call that autotune?) and start to talk about gangster life, with more non-sense lyrics and useless slurs like : >When you get a new chain, nigga take it from you >A new name, want stripes, and you a zebra look-alike
>All y'all can suck my dick
>AKs for the whole hood >House lick went down perfect >Two shots to the head he deserved it
I swear Gettin' Jiggy With It wasn't good but at least it was a cool party song. The song you shared is just thug spitting thuggish non-sense on some bleep and bops.
This is what you listen to on the regular? I feel very sorry for you, but maybe I can show you that there is much better music. Check out : - foster the people - weezer - Ry Cooder - Green River - The White Stripes - AC/DC - Linkin Park
I can give you more recs but I don't have a lot of time. seeya.
Nathan Powell
>complains about shallow lyrics >recs AC/DC Lmao great thread
William Robinson
Caricature isn't racist you stupid SJW. Just because the object of the caricature is a Black person doesn't mean caricature is racist.
Adrian Bennett
Shallow lyrics? You need to check out their song "Highway To Hell", Bon Scott is a lyrical genius.
I have to go now, I hope I helped young people to realize that they are wasting their time with Kendrick and his friend by recommending some good music. I will come back in few hours.
See you anons.
Evan Campbell
I think you missed the point of the song entirely. It's generally about growing up around crime in compton etc.
>I run it >That's ironic
He's feels in charge but is actually being chased, like Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote which is ironic.
You took lyrics out of context to make them fit your idea of >le dum nigger rap
Some pretty great lines from this track alone >Tell a story that I'll never grow to 25 >Not to worry >every warrior will come and see euphoria >And that's a covenant I put on every tribe
also
>Hope another homicide don't numb you a nun do >Things we will never learn soon >In the era where we wanna earn soon >That's a error, you can smell it in the air >and everybody really doomed
I can't tell if your recommendations are bait or not. Foster the people? Weezer? Linkin Park? Lmao. If it's bait then yh I'm a certified retard.
Hunter Taylor
>There will never be another Nirvana. There will never be another Oasis. There will never be another Rolling Stones. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA ok retard,
He had potential. Section.80 was a solid 7/10. Everything else is trash.
Dominic Sullivan
holy shit
Nathan Walker
First of all... Why the fuck is your taste in rock so basic? Jesus Christ. What are you an 18 year old girl? Also, why can't music just exist for musicality sake? It's always people who don't really listen to music that much who give that shit much about lyrics and "deeper" meanings and shit, when in reality they're just listening to pussies moaning about being sad and thinking it's deep. Kendrick is great because if you really look at the landscape of hip-hop there really isn't anyone like him. I don't even really like the guy but you certainly have to appreciate his effort. If you listen to Good kid Maad City you'll find vivid and brutal storytelling about some pretty real shit. The reason why so most rap is just variations of ghetto, gangsta hood shit is the same reason why every love song is essentially the same: it is just inherent to the genre. The vast majority of musicians' goals, especially if they are lesser known, isn't to be the innovator of the genre or present some grand magnum opus. It is just about putting your own flavor and spin on a genre that's pretty set in stone.
Evan Evans
>People ITT actually took this bait
Jackson Morales
holy shit dude KENDRICK LAMAR likes one of the most popular britpop bands of all time??? wtf.... one of us...
Joshua King
>Also, why can't music just exist for musicality sake? It can and that's why Bone-Thugs N Harmony were great (in Hip Hop). Between Bizzy and Krayzie Bone who was able to ride the beat with his syllables rhymes and accents to create entraining rhythms, while sometimes using the double-time property of the beat to switch back and forth between BPMs, while varying their pitch... That was good Hip Hop, and nobody does that today. Kendrick is literally just talking on a beat with a monotone voice and sometimes use autotune to weirdly pitch up and down his monotone voice
Bone Thugs and Harmony are the only rappers I ever liked precisely because of musicality's sake
>It's always people who don't really listen to music that much who give that shit much about lyrics and "deeper" meanings and shit, when in reality they're just listening to pussies moaning about being sad and thinking it's deep. Listenint to "pussies moaning about being sad" will always been better than listening to idiots screaming about being "woke", like Kendrick... I'd rather have an Emo rock-star than a cringe "Conscious Rapper".
>Kendrick is great because if you really look at the landscape of hip-hop there really isn't anyone like him. I don't even really like the guy but you certainly have to appreciate his effort. If you listen to Good kid Maad City you'll find vivid and brutal storytelling about some pretty real shit. I read quickly about it and apparently it's just him talking about going to the house of a girl to have sex for the first time... And he made an entire album about this???
>First of all... Why the fuck is your taste in rock so basic? Jesus Christ. What are you an 18 year old girl? I gave recs of groups that were accessible, because if I start to recommend Meshuggah young people will probably not like it because their hear isn't trained to hear the sophisticated intricacy of bands like that
Aiden Jones
Listen to Bizzy Bone. He is doing what Kendrick does but 190000000000000 times better
what did you want the artist to draw? Did you want the artist to hide his obvious nigger features because some white kid on the internet my take offense to something that has nothing to do with him? Should he have been drawn like a white person? Like an arab? Like a mexican? No he is black and was drawn exactly like he looks, like the nigger that he is
Adam Sanders
Rap is just edm with spoken more than sung lyrics, what's so hard to understand? There's good stuff and there's bad stuff, like anything. If you don't like edm or would prefer sung vocals, you're not gonna like it. I like some of Kendrick's stuff, better than most "pop" rap.
Carson Taylor
shit b8 retard
Elijah Russell
>Rap is just edm with spoken more than sung lyrics, what's so hard to understand? Damn you are even more retarded than the OP
Rapping is a vocal style. The difference between rapping and singing is that they don't discretely pitch their musical intervals, but they're similar in that they're both in time. The difference between rapping and talking is that they are in time, but they're similar because they don't discretely pitch their intervals (into minor seconds, major seconds, and so on.). Another thing is that in Rap, there is a focus on the rhythmic, metrical, and syntactic arrangement of syllables and rhymes, the "flow", in order to create a certain rhythm/feeling/groove/rhyme scheme.
Rap is a vocal technique rather than a genre. And it's not "spoken", unless you think Gil Scott Heron was rapping. You probably think Konnakol is "spoken" too.
Also fucking EDM? please. Instrumental Hip Hop is its own genre.
Ayden Morales
I was saying that it's closer to speaking than singing, and closer to EDM than to rock n roll. So if someone only likes singing and rock n roll, they're not going to like rap.
It seems like those sorts of people hear rap and think "Where's the singing? Why aren't the instruments progressing more?" and I feel like they're missing the point.
I feel like the point is more like rhythmic poetry and "flow" along with a cool "electronic" (or otherwise sampled) beat.
Jackson Price
Why would you post this foolishness OP?
Nathaniel Flores
get better taste zoomer
Matthew Nelson
op is probably some boomer who heard about Yea Forums from some breitbart article
