maybe the true "heads" see Kendrick as their fave, but I'm telling ya that most are more into what are the big hits
in 2015, these are the top songs as rated by radio play Big Sean - I don't fuck with you Pitbull & Ne Yo - Time of Our Lives Fetty Wap - Trap Queen Wiz KHalifa - See You Again in 2014 it was these Niki MInaj - Only Big Sean (again) - I dont fuck with you Bobby Shmurda - Hot Boy Iggy Azalea - Black Widow Nicki Minaj - Anaconda Iggy Azalea - Fancy Pitbull & Ke$ha - Timber Kendrick is nowhere near these acts in terms of exposure and popularity. You may not be out of touch, just only in touch with those that think as you do Re: rap and hip hop. It happens to anyone. I thought that Sonic Youth was the biggest act out there when I was 23, only to find they have only one album that sold more than 400,000 copies. Turns out I am the only one of my friends that truly LOVED Sonic Youth.

no because it's not out until the 10th in the US. Because for some stupid reason the industry thought they should change new releases to Fridays now. Meh.

it's possible. I listen to "popular radio" at the beach, but that's all like girlie pop, they don't really play hip hop. So maybe yeah, what do I know. I was only thinking of like Kendrick being on a lot of late night shows and stuff. Guess I figured there was a lot of popular exposure. Don't know. (Don't really care either haha)

I liken current Kendrick Lamar to U2 in 1985. They were "important" Their songs "mattered" and everyone who thought they had good taste loved them.
Kendrick has the potential to crossover like U2 did, and create more universally loved music, like U2 did, while keeping much of the original fanbase and adding a bunch of people who would not have known U2 was good unless MTV or the radio burned it into their heads with endless replays.

I fucking cannot stand M&M though. I just do not give a fuck about whatever problem he happens to be whining about in his latest tunes.

yeah Eminem has become pretty much the worst.
Lil Wayne lost so much of his relevance, when was the last time he had a hit record? it's crazy. |

I liked MMLP2 and Shady XV quite a bit actually. Certainly more than Relapse and Recovery.

Same with punk.. punk was an underground gutter music, put it on the radio what does it become? Green Day... Rap came out of the Reagonomics 80s.. contemporary rap is an artificial nostalgia. The society that gave it life no longer exists. Rap has been taken over by "the industry" and so has become a caricature of itself. This is what Kanye epitomizes, and why most of us here don't like or respect him as an artist.

I dont' necessarily disagree... but Shady XV was still better than Relapse, Recovery and Encore haha. And I did really like MMLP2. Having said all that, I could make a long list of dudes I'd rather listen to for sure.

You missed the point by a country mile because you are so absorbed with Kanye's narcissism that you cant accept his faults as being reality. And his faults are typical of EXACTLY what is wrong with contemporary rap music

Relapse is def better than Recovery and Encore. It's at least an interesting album. And when it's good it's really good. It just has a lot of missteps. Less than f'ing Encore tho haha. Let's not do the pointless Kanye tug-o-war yet again, plz.
