And not to dispute Kendrick as a good artist but he owes a lot of his success to his connections. Once Dre took wind of him he was fast tracked on being able to express his ideas and music with the resources and people that have produced amazing music for most of their life.

“ . Idk how you can rap on every track and be more pop than hip hop.“
Because rap and hip hop technically aren’t synonyms. Maybe i should have said “traditional hip hop” since the word “hip hop” used to signify a cultural movement, and today it largely just means ‘black people singing fast’

yeah I won't argue with that
here's my hot take of the morning, if For Free came out in the 90s all of the 30+ yr old dudes on this thread would herald it as the 8th wonder of the world. but since it came out in 2015 by a guy who was known to the mainstream, it's just meh
and actually you could probably substitute half the songs here instead and it would still be true

I always enjoy DAMN when I'm listening to it (except for Love), yet for some reason it just doesn't leave the best taste in my mouth when I think back on it

If Kendrick came out with some corny pop shit like I in the 90s he literally woulda be thrown off the stage for pretending to be an emcee. Then someone woulda wrote a diss track about him being a closeted homo.
There’s a reason there isn’t a bunch of singing and bubbly production on 90s albums: people thought it was feminine and wack.

Not really. Although hip hop was hyper masculine in the 90s, sometimes to a stupid extent, it’s better than having no identity at all - which is the case today.

that’s a a pretty stupid take, hip hop has never been inherently about being masculine lol
