Mar 11, 2017 Things like "say say say" in Weeknd's Sidewalks or whatever the f--- he's doing in Goosebumps is making him into a joke.
Mar 11, 2017 I'm being serious here... I missed when he rapped straight through without relying on these gimmicks as he killed every feature without them. I listened to Sidewalks high, was not a fan of Kendrick's verse.
Mar 11, 2017 But he kills every feature even using these "gimmicks" so does it really matter? Man is branching out. Everyone who likes goosebumps only cared about kdot and the way he rapped on it.
Mar 11, 2017 It makes him look corny, sorry... When we had the WeekndSXN, people literally hated Kendrick's verse on Sidewalks and favored Future over him.
Mar 11, 2017 Its not even a gimmick its flow dude. A straight forward verse will get stale so he uses repetition to get his point across and leaves a message stuck in fans head.
Mar 11, 2017 A straightforward verse can at least provide stability. And if you want an example of "flow". ScHoolboy Q's "Collard Greens".
Mar 11, 2017 his features have been trash all year. seeing a kendrick feature makes me not wanna listen to the song.
Mar 11, 2017 I mean, he definitely had his fair share of bad features, but Aint That Funkin Kinda Hard On You, NMPILA, Wat's Wrong, New Cupid, God Is Fair Sexy Nasty and Conrad Tokyo were all good IMO. and he opened 2017 well on Walk On By
Mar 11, 2017 but these are features Kendrick gets to try out different styles on other ppl records and still make money...that's smart to me. Doubt his actual fans r going to stop listening to his music because of some features
Mar 11, 2017 hella sick of that old man voice he's hella been using since TPAB era. & yea hes becomin a bootleg Andre 3K with how weird & wacky he's tryna be all the time lately
Mar 11, 2017 This s--- just stupid Yall love adlibs but when kendrick does it it's a problem ? Ik it's annoying he gets this much praise from everyone but you don't have to be a hipster and criticise him for every little thing he does- and I'm far from a kendrick stan so yeah
Mar 11, 2017 He was sorta on cruise control in 2016 despite the strong verses on NMPILA, Wats Wrong and Conrad Tokyo. Walk On By was an excellent feature though, and it gives me hope that he'll have dropped that choppy flow he was using on several features.
Mar 11, 2017 I agree with this... Kendrick is good when he's a storyteller and using his voice to great effect rather then trying hard to be infliction and poppy. YG's "Smoking and Drankin'" is an example of how well he can use his voice to great effect.
Mar 12, 2017 lol imagine getting annoyed at a rapper at trying new things like some s--- might be awful but i'd rather that than future selling the same album with a different name every other month
