C'mon, no love for Wesley's Theory? These Walls is objectively the smoothest song of all time. Institutionalized has the best beat. But seriously every song on this album is my favorite song on this album.

This album has a lot of moments where Kendrick or his accompanying musicians are overwhelming and hard to stomach (King Kunta gets on my nerves every damn time) and it drags it down pretty hard.

I agree. King Kunta actually pissed me off the first time I heard it.

"King Kunta actually pissed me off the first time I heard it."

King Kunta is probably one of the worst songs I've ever heard ngl

It's terrible. The back-up singers need to get the fuck out for starters and the lyrics are (mostly) garbage.

You guys just don't listen to funk or even lot of black music tbh, but that's really okay. What should the lyrics have been about in your opinion?

rap "black music" lol
thanks for judging my 45 current ratings not at all representative of everything i've heard
...
i mean you're right but shut up bitch

You're right, that stuff generally isn't my jam. I'm not saying that he should change anything. I just don't like the song.

Lol I mean black music as in soul, funk, rnb, gospel, etc. The prevalent background vocals are a very "black" characteristic for lack of a better term. Vocals like that happen in everything from D'Angelo to Ray Charles to Sun Ra. If we're getting all ethno-musicological about it, I'd say it might be a correlation or link with the sort of call and response that developed in black churches. And I didn't need to look into your ratings. It just comes off in your interpretations. But yeah, it's fine to not be into it.

All I said was I didn't like it. How's that an "interpretation"?

'You guys just don't listen to funk or even lot of black music tbh'
Making some shitty assumptions to justify yourself cuz other people don't like what you like tbh
'Vocals like that happen in everything from D'Angelo to Ray Charles to Sun Ra.'
'It just comes off in your interpretations. But yeah, it's fine to not be into it.'
yeah, and they also sound better on songs by those artists. just because a song has backing vocals similar to other "black music' doesn't automatically make it good my man. Can still sound like shit in this one instance.

No need to get all defensive, my guy. Why say "black music" in quotes like it's not a valid term? Like, I dunno Miles Davis is definitely blacker music than Beethoven. But digressions aside, I'm just trying to have a civil disagreement. Debates are kinda fun. King Kunta is really good, imo.

oh no

I just don't get the logic in saying someone obviously doesn't like a song because they don't listen to much funk or rap or "black music" when you don't check their ratings or know them or anything like that
Like saying a song is bad isn't an "interpretation" it's just an opinion. Not like I made an essay of easily deniable and factually false statements against kendrick that show my lack of black music knowledge, i just don't think it's a good song lol.
