    I hope he only has 1 one his next album, bangers are usually not the songs I keep revisiting, except when it comes to 50 cent.

    nah he doesn't have a lot of them, which is why I love him. Very few artists are good at making great bangers anyway, 50 probably the last one.

    ^ thats why kendrick keeps making great album and is getting better and better. Dude has that major label budget with the musical sensibilities of an indie artist, creative control and artistic integrity is paramount to the evolution of an musician.

    Nah, he did it. It worked now do something else. He needs to recreate himself once again. I feel like UU is and should be of the jazz era for kendrick. I want to see him progress as a artist. If he gets comfortable with a style it won't push him to the next level.

    This isn't a convo worth having tbh, even if we still counted every song you listed as a b-----r it's still like less than 2% of his discog

    I mean can't we agree that kendricks strong suit isn't party music? Even his certified bangers, like cartoons and cereal or maad city, are storytelling tracks at their core

    I think we agree that he's not gonna suddenly be making "bangers" on his next album as op was suggesting

    If anything, Kendrick has struggled w making bangers (Michael Jordan for example). He's alright at it.

    But if he builds on the formula he used for levitate he could be on to something

    Nop. Kendrick already gave us very different albums, he doesn't need to change his style for every album. Most goats actually stick to one style for their entire career.

    And he stick to the jazz sound while still doing something very different. There's still so much to cover...

    Also, pyrex is probably one of the worst songs he has ever recorded.

    But bangers like C&C that have story telling at the core could be some next level s---. You got the people that want bangers happy but people that want the story telling Kendrick happy. It's a win win for both party's.

    Except that you always need to find a perfect balance in your albums. Like Scarface once said, a great album can't have more than a few bangers or that "balance" is broken.
