    tbh, I only listened to 5 full Kendrick songs. (Control: good but overrated, the Recent Khaled feat: good but sacrifices quality for technicality like current Em, Jcole Black Friday song: couple of good lines nothing mind blowing, and Deep Water: Dope as f---, also I think he wrote Dre's verse which is great too)

    TBAP, but never full song..

    Hearing him brainwashing youth by saying :"They don't want us to success, they want blacks to fall down" or by these meaning makes it hard to listen without thinking this is stupid

    don't get me wrong, black people are f----- in the a---, but he increases the problem,,, even Snoop Dogg talked about it


    & the jazz heavy beats, with his ugly voice when he tries to come up with new flow weirdly.

    so, can u recommend me the pinnacle of Kendrick, I think he dope and want to discover him

    What do you think of these?..







    or my personal favorite



    me personally, im a huge fan of the jazz influence, which is tied to african american history and blacks in America learning ways to identify themselves in a country that places a huge emphasis on being one standard. So for me the jazz heavy beats are a way to incorporate that history which as far as i know is part of Kendricks upbringing. Lines like "they dont want us to succeed.." are indicative of where Kendrick came from ..Compton, but i dont think he meant to generalize that to everywhere. (or maybe he did idkk)
