    Sad that you hate an album cause you got influenced by what other people think of it m8

    Its fans.
    I was scrolling through FB comments for his recent Colbert performance (terrible idea, I'm aware of this) and the majority of supporters basically said this:

    "If you don't think this album is amazing, you're an idiot that doesn't know music. You probably love Migos and that dumbass Young Thug and actually think DS2 is a good album. You have to be intelligent to understand this art."

    TPAB is the country club of rap albums and (it seems like) a lot of its fans are its snobby members. People that automatically love any rap that isn't talking about b------s over a trap beat now think they're above others because they like this particular sound.

    TPAB created a bunch of cocky, "I'm smarter and better than everybody" douchebags.

    :idk:

    Strongly disagreed. I haven't seen many if any Kdot fans act snobby over this particular record. If anything J Cole fans are the ones who've gotten super duper snobby, acting like he's the living breathing Pac with those memes saying how it takes a special kind of intelligence to vibe to his music. The people I know that f---s with TPAB album don't try to impose their opinion on it.

    Furthermore why not let the art just be the art? Don't you think you're grasping at straws a bit for letting the response to the art ruin the actual project? I certainly wouldn't let anyone else's opinion affect mine...

    i think the more vocal kendrick fans are the GKMC bandwagon fans who are pretty much wankers, they should be ignored
    @Squid i get you :kdotcry:

    i really like TPAB, but i can understand why people wouldent like it, becuase sonically its not very appealing...

    i just dont think that the twats that comment on kendricks videos should change your opinion on his actual music

    Kendrick Lamar's fanbase is like a religion. They don't worship Kendrick, they worship hating those who don't follow K-Dot's "realness" to a T. They are the atheists of the rap community.

    But that's just C-Wizzy talking that boo-boo.

    I haven't listened to it in full for a while, but it's a pretty great album.

    You shouldn't hate an album because of it's fans.
