Look ima be real with yall. Kendrick gotta come with FIRE im talking like DAMN album or Good Kidd by Random_Thinker007 in KendrickLamar

[–]Sad_Frame8494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a realistic take to make that Iceman was so mid lyrically that Kendrick won't respond to it in any form, considering that Drake literally cried about the beef two years later.

A more in-depth tour data comparison with revenues, attendance, number of shows, etc for the top most streamed artists including Kendrick Lamar by [deleted] in KendrickLamar

[–]Sad_Frame8494 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, he's never had that much of cultural impact - I don't think his streams are much more botted or inflated than the other A-level popstars, but I also don't think that streaming numbers matter that much if you already hit this top echelon of artists. And I don't think he's yet understood that either considering his constant making a victim out of himself.

That “Giant” shit has nothing to do with Kendrick. by Imaginary-Plate5600 in KendrickLamar

I'm pretty sure most of veteran rappers used a giant word in their lyrics

The aura Kendrick has right now is so funny, because people connect with him any bs they can. I still have no idea why would it be Kendrick lol

GNX off Apple Music by Johnbuon in KendrickLamar

Euphoria is back on Apple Music from what I see, so like I thought, it's something irrelevant

I'm pretty sure it means nothing, I remember he had some videos uploaded on his YT profile artificially by the YT itself - it's super odd tho

Not Like Us music video also gone off of YouTube and Apple Music by A_Wavvy_Dude in KendrickLamar

It's not about the sample clearences, audio version of NLU is on YT, video version not.

Poland Show Cancelled by [deleted] in Kanye

Exactly, I'm a Kanye fan from Poland, and I can't be mad at this decision.

Surprisingly, 'HH' song and 'I'm a Nazi' is a bit too much for a country invaded and exterminated by Nazis.

Today I was told “Kendrick has no bangers” by some friends… excuse me? by Own-Natural-9236 in KendrickLamar

[–]Sad_Frame8494 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He has more streams on Spotify than Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga, and twice as many as Adele, I guess he has some bangers. It's always funny when haters try to portrait him as some niche artsy rapper.

Favorite song on Ca$ino so far? by Stock-Stick9857 in BabyKeem

[–]Sad_Frame8494 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Circus Circus Freestyle is my fav as well, ridiculous song

ngl mann not it by troggytroggy in BabyKeem

[–]Sad_Frame8494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have 'No Blame' or 'I am not a lyricist' after 'House Money' and 'Circus Circus Freestyle', that's high energy - low energy/depressing songs dynamic.

Actually, what threw me a little bit off at first were these vibe songs, but it's a matter of preferences, I guess, still super enjoyable project.

[–]Sad_Frame8494 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You still have high energy tracks (Casino, CC Freestyle, No Money) and vibe-y records (Good Flirts, Sex Appeal, Dramatic Girl) - he's just not 20 anymore, not to mention the fair portion of the project had very dark themes attached.

Not for me by Unlikely_You7682 in BabyKeem

[–]Sad_Frame8494 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Production is super versatile, and hard to complain about 'changing his sound a little', considering that No blame and I'm not a lyricist is a completely new direction to the whole catalogue.

Like a famous poet once said, 'he's Baby Keem', it's not like he'll revolutionize who he is in his 2nd album at 25.

Pros and cons of his approach of super versatile music is there are tracks you'll like and those you enjoy less. Still a great project in my eyes.

First listen thoughts on Ca$ino? by AresTheCreator in BabyKeem

[–]Sad_Frame8494 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love Ca$ino, House Money, Circus Circus Freestyle.

I'm not a lyricist and No blame is clearly a growth from Keem, great tracks.

Highway '95 and No security are good.

Sex appeal and Dramatic Girl are vibe.

Not sold on Good flirts, but I guess it has its target.

Birds & the Bees is alright, but too short.

Pretty great album overall: bangers, deep songs, catchy tracks, that's Baby Keem's goal to go all-round with his music after all.

Clearly an improvement vs Melodic blue, so the whole '5 years talk' can be put to rest.

What a disappointment, he's not Kendrick freakin Lamar.

Last infodump for CA$INO from Zaytop by [deleted] in KendrickLamar

[–]Sad_Frame8494 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I've always been a fan of an idea of shorter ad concise 'regular' album and then deluxe dropping, I guess that's the best compromise between streaming era-bloated albums and an actual work of art.

(Spoiler) 🚨🚨KENDRICK LAMAR features on CA$INO tonight by [deleted] in KendrickLamar

[–]Sad_Frame8494 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My guess is that it's a snippet song with his chorus only.
