Who do you call genius recently in the rap game today?
That's a good question.. I don't think its fertile environment any more to produce a "genius" as far as new music goes. If we are talking a newer music I think Anderson Paak is someone in hip-hop you could maybe call a genius, I'm also fine with giving Kendrick that label. I don't really listen to their new shit, or any new shit for that matter but I can recognize them both as genius talents. I haven't seen Dre do anything genius since COMPTON, and I haven't seen Eminem do anything genius since MMLP2. I consider Xzibit and Ras Kass to be genius. Though the last time they put out anything "genius" was at least over 5 years ago.I agree with ya'll that Quik was a musical genius but what has he done that is "genius" since Addictive with Truth Hurts?
the word genius gets thrown around too loosely really, there’s dre and quik who u could make an argument for .. but neither really really applies their musical genius nowadays.
you complain that it is thrown around too loosely and then call DJ Quik a musical genius? Quik is a west coast legend but not a genius. He had a good run as a producer and produced some great songs, but there is no way that he is on the same level or even in the conversation with Dre. Currently, I would have a hard time naming any other rappers that are on Kendrick's level creatively. The new album is not my favorite album by any means, but I would regard it creatively/artistically as one of the best albums in awhile. It is just so dense that it is amazing that it is also a relative commercial success.
did the abortion track make it on here?i remember a poster here talkin bout he was there for the recording process and that it was a gem
The more I listen to this album the more it grows on me. I can definitely see why some are calling it a classic.
