Squabble Up sucks. This is not my type of rap. This is rap for white people. Awful.

Re: Kendrick Lamar is better than Soundgarden
you just don’t know what it’s like to be a white, middle-aged dad living in Montana to be able to appreciate genuine urban rap that represents black culture and the struggles blacks face. and neither does Kendrick.epilogue wrote:tragabigzanda wrote:I’m coming around to this view.

Re: Kendrick Lamar is better than Soundgarden
Hopefully Trag can teach Kendrick how to make good urban black oriented hip hop soon.
He has to teach Watt and Serban a few things before tough

Re: Kendrick Lamar is better than Soundgarden
Wait I thought rap for white people is modern mumble rap type stuff
Either way this is closer to the rap I grew up with so I like it

Re: Kendrick Lamar is better than Soundgarden
Thoughts/hopes/predictions for his set on Sunday?
I'm hoping he teases Poetic Justice but I think some instrumental to Euphoria or Meet the Grahams is more likely. Here's my setlist prediction designed around the almost assuredly wrong idea that Nas will be a secret guest star. And I think it'll be fewer songs and less hit-based than what I'm including here, but so it goes.
Humble
DNA
Squabble Up
Luther (SZA)
All the Stars (SZA)
Man in the Garden/One Mic mashup (just the beat then K says "tell me why you deserve the greatest of all time," Nas is unveiled, song morphs into a couple bars of One Mic)
If I Ruled the World (Nas)
TV Off
Money Trees or Like That (Future)
Poetic Justice false start
Not Like Us

Imagine spending this entire week knowing for a fact that someone is going to call you a pedophile in the middle of the Super Bowl in front of 200 million people.

Re: Kendrick Lamar is better than Soundgarden
The first time I ever heard Kendrick’s music, I was doing a presentation to try and get a part-time teaching job. I got up and gave my pre-planned, very simple spiel explaining what satire is etc. The guy after me was an old white guy who played a Kendrick song, compared it to the Declaration of Independence while reading the lyrics and used a hard R. Needless to say, I never saw him in the teacher’s lounge.
