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

I’m coming around to this view. As the initial “whoa surprise Kendrick album” vibes wore off, I’m fairly convinced this album sucks.
For context, I am white.
I'm so sick of the Internet

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.

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

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

You forgot to include the phrase “on a Pearl Jam message board,” that’s usually a staple in this type of post

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.

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.
