I do not look to Hip Hop for wisdom or advice or anything relevant to my day to day experience. I am a 46 year old Puerto Rican. Us Puerto Ricans created Hip Hop just as much as african americans, but we are left out of the history and conversations.
When I listen to Kendricks albums I am left with the impression I have heard it all before. I do not feel surprise, or joy, or fun, or whimsy, or fear, or suspense... I feel all those things when blasting Young Thug, Future, 2Chainz, Public Enemy, OUtkast, etc.

Hey don’t mistake my shit-talking for actually being mad that you and I have different opinions. Lol. I like taking to you about music even though it’s FUCKING INFURIATING!! Haha.
I’m genubely surprised that you think Kendrick is same old same old though. I guess I kinda did at first... back when louder (ever ahead of the curve when it comes to big time rap artists) was first hyping him. But the more I listened to good kid, mAAd city, the LESS it sounded like anything else.
Art of Peer Pressure did it. Nobody who previously toured with G-funk ever made something so seething and haunting. Narratively, it’s a marvel. The whole album is. But I would listen to any of it if it didn’t make me feel awesome.
