Kendrick Lamar On Whether He'll Sign To A Major, Compton's Influence

[Triple OG Rapsodie]

Kendrick wouldn't sound good over Dre's generic beats....which are mostly made by khalil anyways

[LooN3y]

Lol @ saying he'll be a legend

Lmao @ really preferring hearing khalil/muggs over dre

Ahhh man wtf is this forum smoking?

I wish K.Dot the best. But signing to Aftermath would be the worst thing he could do. Dre takes forever and that would kill all of Kendrick's momentum. He should just get some Dre beats and have him mix the album if possible but that's about it.

dre sucks man, it took me months after I need a doctor got released to admit this, but dude is a shadow of his formerself it's like 50 yr old Kareem or shaq tryna keep up playing 40 mins per game against the young stars his time is done he should stop trying to adapt to a new sound because it's clearly not working.


None of the detox tracks deserves to be put on repeat, only shit popped off or that other track topless or wtvr but u guys all know those 2 tracks won't be on detox

Fuck signing on Aftermath or any major. Dre will just delay your shit until he drops your ass and majors will never release your album unless your singles get crazy spin.

i don't really see the hype over kendrick lamar....i mean, he's not bad, but he isn't THAT good to the point where people should be nutting over his work. i think a lot of the hype over him is because he's from Compton (LOL)


someone post up a track of his that u think can change my mind...

I don't know, Khalil AND Muggs, that is a hell of a combination behind the boards. Khalil learned from 2 of the best in Muggs and Dr Dre.

Maybe it's just you who like to go against the grain every time (no disrespect)? I mean you say nutting like there's artists out there who people should be nutting over lol smh.

People obviously dig his shit that's all and think he has alot of potential, i don't see how that's overhype. Of course the Dre association made this forum jump on the wagon but he's dope.

i think his voice and mic-presence is not amongst the best...lyrically and flow-wise, he's tight, but he doesn't seem to me like some once in a lifetime talent, like some here are makin him out 2 be. maybe if u spliced him and Game and fused them into one rapper, it would equal one great MC. right now, there is somethin about his cadences that makes him not stick out, so to speak. not sayin i wouldn't bang his shit, just that he's not really amongst the best in the game.

LOL, you cannot be a legend by not being a popular name. Kendrick Lamar is known by a few guys on the internet.

Unless he actually does what this thread implies & signs to a major label, he will never be considered a legend by anyone.

I guess that's why he has sold-out shows.

[RingMan]

Fuck major, go indie, Tech N9ne could sign him. I don't see Kendrick being the rapper that is trying to make a hit record. He already got dope production team, so Dre could just mix some songs.
