    What about These Walls and I'm In It sharing lyrical themes? What about the doubt, shame and anger expressed in Kendrick's songs? They coincide with the frailty of Ye's ego in songs such as Holdy My Liquor or Guilt Trip... to me at least

    What about the fact Yeezus is aimed to be the black Christian menacing antagonist to middle America much like 2pac was?

    What about the fact that the production is purposefully leftfield to protest against and light up in the mainstream of trapsounds? Much like the lyrics protest against the mainstream political views of many Americans?

    What are these influences.. can you give youtube vids? I know jazz is a major component.. it's most likely all thanks to Terrace Martin.. but don't underestimate Kendrick's lyrical and thematic input. AGAIN.. i believe he took a lot of cues from Kanye.. not excluding the fact that they both view themselves as important messengers of black culture in America.. their convo's backstage at the Yeezus tour musta given a lotta food for thought.

    i'd like to think skrillex had a big influence on Yeezus, considering the sessions they had together for it

    i'm saying the influence is already there... regardless if they met or not.. the thing that explains to me why/how they seem so similar is (i believe) in the fact that they toured together during the period Kendrick was working on the album.

    i just don't see the death grips sound m8

    i hate their production, and yet Yeezus vibes with me so well it's unreal, and it seems more in line with something Skrill would do if anything... not death grips

    oooooh you're serious.. i'm sorry i thot you were mocking me.

    Yeh i believe it's unlike anything DG made.. completely agree and i can't wrap my mind around why people would claim to believe he was inspired by them (apart from the simple act of distorting his music > which isn't a sign of DG influence, like.. AT all!)

    I actually see your point m8

    edit: my point was about TPAB and Yeezus being very similar btw
