The music will always be around but the days of having a buzz like Kendrick's and doing numbers is dead as a doorknob
Kendrick Lamar is this era's Bob Dylan. Masterful story telling. Listen to it, it will elevate you. And just like that music has changed. Sick hooks, beats, perspective and zero MSG. Individuality always wins.

The music will always be around but the days of having a buzz like Kendrick's and doing numbers is dead as a doorknobWe'll find out in a week and a half about the numbers part, but people are going to be hard pressed to find a negative review from any critic (one that gets paid, not one that posts on message boards).
Paid critics are overrated .. The credibility of ones opinion has more to do with how much knowledge they possess as opposed to how much they make. Message board heads opinions do not mean less, because message board heads are the consumer. Their opinion counts just as much as any.
This is a changing of the guard.
The days of representing a coast or a region are over, its all about bringing good music to the table , I think 90% of dubcc are either stuck in a era that will never come back or they just got into gangsta rap since they were too young to vibe to it when it was poppin...Kendrick is bigger than west coast, he is HIPHOP
I listened to this 5 or 6 times and can say it's the best hip-hop album this year. Good for Interscope for letting Kendrick have creative control. The worst song on this album is, ironically, "Compton." The whole album almost flows perfectly (Poetic Justice sounds a bit out of place and Compton just sounds like it was thrown there at the end). I think it would have ended perfectly with "I'm Dying Of Thirst"
