Hiiipower and Adhd for instance are just way better songs than this one ...All this (supposed) time spent in the studio and they couldn't come with a better song than this one ... at least before all the buzz/hype was justified ( 50 , Game, Kanye) , they came with great singles and 1st albums ... nowadays it's dissapointment after dissapointment In my opinion this is the perfect fit for Kendrick's first single. He didnt go into his "teaching" and kinda social aware mode but still made a sing that suits him, which is a smooth cali anthem for the summer. It's dropping at the right time. For the first single this is just perfectly nice. I dunno what people expect. The beat is on point and the flows are dope, hook is catchy. It has a nice feelgood vibe. The serious shit will be on the album and I guess the 2nd single will go in a different direction anyway. People always yearn for west coast anthems and when one drops they hate on it, lol.

Dre flow has been pretty bad for a while ... and each time he imitates the flow of the rapper who ghostwrites his verse , it's a fail , sounds forced

But since I already read a lotta comments (not only on this page) from people who dig the record and also for the fact this this particular line stuck in my head, I brought this point up. We will see how it's doing in the long run, but for now I'm happy with it and I guess the crowd will appreciate this track on Kendrick gigs.But I don't think this track will bring new fans to Kendrick. Look at me -- I'm not a Kendrick fan, and the best part of this song for me is the beat and the engineering. Now, I think the point of this song was to expand Kendrick's audience outside the established hardcore Kendrick fans that he's already got in his back pocket no matter what, to the broader fans of Westcoast music such as myself. They put Dre on this song because the #1 way to get broad Westcoast fan appeal is to feature Dre or Snoop. They're probably hoping this song will get attention from general Westcoast rap listeners before they attempt to branch out further to broad rap fans in general. But I don't think this song accomplishes this stepping stone goal, because imo I'm really only liking the production when I should be drawn into liking Kendrick through this song instead. Case in point: next Kendrick song that doesn't have a Westcoast feature nor a prominent Westcoast producer, if this song right here worked, I would seek it out, but as of right now, I won't. So basically this song failed to bring in me as a new listener of Kendrick's music.

I thought the purpose of the forum was to give his opinions ... it's not like I'm crying or something ... and as you said that's only my opinion .. still if you are going to hype a song like they did ( "game changer " ect ... ) you better come with a great song
Well thats your oppinion. Do you really think Hiiipower would be a better single? Maybe for a mixtape only... I personally think its a great song and fits him well.What song do you want him to come out with? With more wow factor? Nah, thats not how he roll. I always imagined he will come out with similar song like this its just either you like it or not. If you cant find nothing great about this song then maybe its not for you. Theres no way to come out with a song that everybody likes, so if you cant enjoy it, just stop complaining and wait for another one or just listen to other artists

Not feelin' this. I don't like the beat at all.
far from blown away by this
i'm surprised how many of you like dre's performance, i think he should quit if he keeps rapping like this.eminem's writings for dre may be average lately, but at least the flow is betterQuote from: friscoliving on April 02, 2012, 06:53:55 PMDre going to use kendrick to get hot again, that's why he's on the track. Its benefitting to both of them. i don't think so. otherwise detox would have been out after the last single became a hit

Just read the last 2 pages and I noticed a bunch of Dre-nerds.

Dr. Dre.And you posted here at least twice already as well, so don't pretend.Plus I checked here because it's Kendrick's first single I don't really care about Dre, I just hoped he wouldnt fuck his style up, which he didn't so it's nice and helps Kendrick, so I'm all for it.
LMAO its comical how much attention this thread is getting because of three words: Feat. Dr. Dre.
