    Will there ever be another swimming pools, BDKMV, ADHD, money trees etc? Would anyone be interested? It seems like at this point Kendrick is taking the Kanye route and never doing the same music twice

    Radio 1 played the s--- out of i and are currently doing so with King Kunta so I'd say he is still making hits :dno:

    King Kunta isn't a hit? It's one of his catchiest songs ever.

    Hits are for p-----s like Jay Z and Drake.

    Real men make timeless music.

    you can have a great album, even a masterpiece without a hit. even though i think kendrick's album is, like, a 5 or 6 out of 10, i don't think it's the lack of hits that disqualifies it. all that does is make it difficult to place in the la rap pantheon. name me one west coast classic without a hit, other than purposefully underground rap.

    and this is why it doesn't count.

    If doesnt make hits means he's doing more album with the quality of TPAB. He can not make hits. BUt he will do some

    of course it's not a bad thing, tpab is great. I just miss the sound Kendrick has when he does a radio song
    i forgot about those. i is great, as is king kunta. They don't have the same effect as his previous hits pre-tpab

    Definitely agree with this. "b----, where were you when I was walking!?" is a fun quotable. "Black man taking no losses!" as well.

    i and King Kunta are hits tbh, plus he just released Bad Blood with Taylor Swift.

    Hood Politics could be a hit
