Not feelin' this. I don't like the beat at all.

This is not really my cup of tea at all, but I'm not a Kendrick fan for the reason I don't like this song -- his writing is too sped up and reminiscent of Andre 3000 in its tempo and so forth. I came up on G-Funk, that laid back true Westcoast stuff, and this is too nervous-sounding. Now, I understand why someone would like this if this is your rapping style as a listener, I mean it's not garbage, but it just isn't for me.Does Kendrick have anything with a sort of normal delivery and a normal Westcoast song? Something that I can listen to without having to be bothered by the sorts of eccentricities on display here? The beat is good, and I like the engineering and the vocal deliveries are precise enough and all that (granted, I think Dre's voice doesn't sound like it used to, probably because he's old now, to be honest with you). But the flows are too quirky and herky-jerky for me to just vibe to and get lost in the song. They sound like Southern rappers. But then again that's why generally I don't like Kendrick in the first place. He's got too much of the South's eccentricities for me -- the bad ones. Just imo. The song's good, but personally I don't like listening to this kind of rap. But I'll be the first to admit I might be too stuck in the 90s.
