Apr 14, 2016 no, they literally havent been until tpab dropped. and what about saying OD is better than GKMC because GKCM is "too" mainstream this is drivel. horrible reasoning.
Apr 14, 2016 @Boos I can find you a shitload of links, just saying. of course its easier to chant the hook, but I seen more and more people playing the entire song at protests.
Apr 14, 2016 I have always seen few people riding with OD, but it was just a minority. As for s80, I can link you to several s80 vs gkmc threads where there's like 90% of the members saying s80 was better than gkmc. Gkmc was a lot more popular but most hip hop forums were saying s80 was better
Apr 14, 2016 Probably because they see it as less 'musical' and more pandering to the mainstream, and they see themselves and TPAB on a pedestal. Both S80 and GKMC are more enjoyable to me.
Apr 14, 2016 and now, what im saying is, TPAB has given them and more people a reason to revert back to being nerdy high schoolers who think anything "mainstream" is bad. its been happening a crazy amount w kendrick fans last year, including devaluing GKMC -- which is arguably better than TPAB. section 80 and OD are good/great, but arent in the same league. link me not what i remember but like i said, link me and in the end, even if you're right, all im against is the REASONING. i, and others, have given countless reasons why GKMC is better than section80. ive yet to hear the same from people who dont feel the same
Apr 14, 2016 You literally posted videos of Alright playing while some people in the background are singing along. Doesn't qualify as "chanting to Kendrick's part" Still holds true that no one in real life talks about how great this album is, drives around listening to it, or plays at social events.
Apr 14, 2016 "i can find you a shitload of links" he says before posting 2 links that dont really support his original assertion at all we all understand the importance of alright in the recent protests so you dont have to exaggerate it
Apr 14, 2016 The crazy part is @Narsh and myself really enjoy Kendrick. It's just TPAB is not as great as all you guys want it to be, and your reasoning is exhausting.
Apr 14, 2016 lol stop baiting/trolling you're only gonna make them more adamant in their delusions ive heard king kunta and alright at parties. it kinda killed the vibe every time or reminded me i was at the wrong party tho lol and ive talked to people irl about how good TPAB supposedly is and they're just as bad as people on forums. they cant formulate real reasons out of its political impact and uh something about jazz and metaphors one guy literally kept yelling at me to admit TPAB was the best album of the decade, didn't want to talk about a single point about the actual music, but instead wanted me to list albums i thought were better so he could say "no" i know that sounds like a made up JMG level story, but that legitimately happened. i point blank said to him: "....why not just talk about TPAB and its flaws/merits" and he said "because we all know its perfect" u have no idea how uncomfortable i felt lol
Apr 14, 2016 yeah ive written more about kendrick, and even more about TPAB, than half of these people BC and i basically wrote the "TPAB decoded" s--- that Top Dawg read back when the album dropped i wrote like a novel on the top 15 kendrick verses
Apr 14, 2016 Can't really blame them, TPAB is a masterpiece, that deserve every piece of praise it gets
Apr 14, 2016 @Boos i made a few statuses about the guy that i had the TPAB convo w when it happened here's a copy and paste rofl: omeone literally just yelled at me to "respect the artists of to p---- a butterfly" holy f--k Kendrick fans are officially crazy Mar 20, 2016 He said it was the best album of the past TWENTY YEARS Mar 20, 2016 He wanted me to list albums I thought were better. I said I'd rather just talk about the album and it's merits he said that's set in stone Mar 20, 2016 He yelled at me to discuss the "artistry" and "importance" of TPAB not by discussing the album, by listing albums I thought I were better Mar 20, 2016 What a moron lmao Mar 20, 2016 these are the kind of fans this thread is about
Apr 14, 2016 @Narsh d--- I feel bad, I wanted to link you that thread on boxden where gkmc got completely slaughtered by s80 (it was in 2013) but it seems like they have a new site as you can see, the last thread is from last year: https://boxden.com/forumdisplay.php?f=87&order=desc&page=25 Most of the threads I was talking about came from Bx. I'll try to find you this later tonight
Apr 14, 2016 yeah people on SL definitely understood GKMC was better. sxn80 had a GREAT aesthetic to it. just like TPAB does. but the rapping between all 3 is best on GKMC.
Apr 14, 2016 After TPAB Kendrick got a bunch of psuedo-philosophical asshat fans who are extremely uneducated on hip hop but feign knowledge because they're really into jazz or whatever their individual copout is. S80, GKMC, and TPAB are all amazing but you can't help but distance yourself from the fanbase with such ignorant, pretentious shitlords serving as the face of the community.
