    I was in on the ground floor of Section 80, GKMC, TPAB, DAMN. Listened to Mr. Morale a bit when it came out but couldn't get into it. These dis tracks have been awesome but I don't care about Drake so there's limited thrill in seeing him dunked on. Dude is bagged, tagged, roasted, it's so over.

    I've given him credit on here before but I liked hip hop in high school then checked out completely for 10 years. Then cal made some detailed posts about good hip hop albums that wasn't just radio stuff and I found the love again.

    These days it's pretty much, there's so much music and limited time, you have to pick your spots. As 40 year old white guy who plays guitar, I'm gonna allocate my attention in that direction. But I love good music overall and the genius/creativity that comes out of hip hop with the beats and lyrics.

    Same. My internal jukebox filled up on about 2005 so everything I listen to is old + Taylor Swift bc of my daughter. Kendrick has been the one exception, he just reminds me of the 90s guys. Him being so active lately has been awesome.

    I don’t care for the drama of the beef with Drake but Kendrick’s content has been sensational. Anything to get more songs from him is fine by me

    It's not even about Drake for me, I knew more about him as a bandwagon sports fan than a musical artist before all of this because what little I'd heard just didn't resonate. For whatever reason hearing Kendrick come back with such calculated venom relit the flame which led me to revisiting old favorites and now I find myself digging into the next wave of talent and liking what I find. Probably the most excited I've been about a musical genre in a while.

    People are trying to connect the red hoodie, hat, and chain to Pac's outfit from Source Awards but idk man I think that's a reach. Red just seems to be a popular color with Kendrick and his friends. :zoidberg:

    Like I said, Kendrick and friends wear red a lot, so I don't read a lot into that. But that cross, idk maybe you're right. I don't remember him ever wearing a chain like that. I want you to be right tbh.

    yeah the chain really sells it

    considering it's not some random show or a random reference it seems more likely to be intentional than not

    to add to this, he may have had the chain out to start the set and I just didn't realize, but I thought I noticed him revealing it when he started talking about respecting the past

    Drake had to watch the culture he wants to badly to be a part of just destroy him last night.

    Time to do the Post Malone man in the woods album singing pop songs. He’s cooked.

    Thirty minutes in but this is such a throwback to Kendrick shows I’ve been to. The energy is crazy. I like the random Lebron crowd shots though.

    Hip Hop over the last 10 or so years has become almost entirely about drill music. Everyone that is popular right now (too many to list, but YoungBoy, KeyGlock, all of the Detroit and Chicago rappers, especially Durk, hell even Rod Wave) are rapping about them killing their opps and their friends being killed. It’s just a giant self snitching platform at this point. You’d probably be fucking shocked if you looked into what most of these songs are actually about. Kendrick lives in a different part of the genre, but any rap playlist on any of the big platforms are not Kendrick and Drake type shit anymore.
