[Frank White]

kendrick is 1 of the realist in the game

[RYDER.]

2 mins into the doc....locked off.

 

it's noisey/vice presentation you guys have a problem with, not Kendrick himself. 

 

on that note, fuck vice. Can't stand their style of journalism or whatever they do.  the presenter put me off.

This

Might as well have David Attenborough narrating

[Thizz]

David Attenborough rap interviews would be dope.

Mike swear you didn't rate Kendrick?

[Lionel & Dave]

yeah vice are fucked up the way they sensationalise black people in poverty

 

but that clip was mad corn

 

kendrick in the yard wearing sliders and socks, sat in front of a couple weight benches and a bunch of people he's never met before... claiming blood now?!

 

this aint the straight outta compton movie son, you supposed to be the change

 

 

with his absolute lack of charisma to boot

[Cole Des]

What is a hipster exactly?

---

Kendrick is cool, the fake angry voice annoys me at times and he fools alot of people into thinking he's lyrical just because he's conscious ie talib kweli, but he makes good songs and good albums.

Dre might be the one to credit for those albums construction but you wouldn't expect any less.

I think both those Aftermath joints are classics, referring to what Afroman said about looking at it 5 years from now, Kendrick is probably in a unique position as a conscious mainstream artist so interms of other albums coming out to affect the position of those albums I don't see it personally.

Ykno if somethings a classic if you can play it in 10/15 years time imo.

They have a uniqueness which make them stand out but also timeless.

Gkmc was like a rap version of What's going on.

Tpab with it's Jazz/blues/funk/Spoken word influences sounded like nothing else that was released in rap last year.

[Thizz]

That's because it's not rap.

[Lionel & Dave]

Hipster been around since the 50s

Typically someone who associates themselves with something new/hip/happening or on the come up in an attempt to disassociate themselves from the crowd

Someone with remarkable taste, taste probably better than yours

The change in the past few years IMO has been bringing social media into the equation

Now these kids are wearing your shit like a badge of honour on their Twitter sleeve, regardless of having little to know knowledge, care or investment of time that you (the real fan) put in over the years

Liking shit for likes basically

Disgusting

But, that is Hiphop fans in general. They often want to be the cult followers of a so called new sound and once everyone buy's into it, they distant themselves from it. 

 

There is this sense of ownership to Artist/Music that drives this culture. Funnily enough, there are some kendrick Lamar fans that would have seen the recognition he received in the last couple of days, and immediately say they aint feeling him anymore or perhaps name another artist who is similar to him and make comparisons.  Same people would be the ones saying REAL RAP doesn't get enough recognition.  

 

Strange stuff. 

[Thun]

Find it funny when they say his a conscious rapper, his nothing of the sort, he spits bait lefty issues

A conscious rapper would be immortal technique, talib etc

What is lefty issues? 

 

I guess immortal technique gets a pass. After all he is co-signed by your boy AJ.

This same behaviour exists outside of music, aren't we all a little like this though, even at times?

I mean hips in the name right?

It's also mainstream culture these days tho so the goal posts been moved

Hipster is a better example of how disposable culture has become in the last 5 years

Much like hip hop I guess

[The Infamous]

Weeknd has gone mainstream last 18months

It's mad
