13342124, Hah. Posted by Brew, Tue Aug-06-19 01:19 PM
He's not, but I respect the audacity.
He def has the potential to get there, tho. IMO. He's gotta get a little more creative w/his flows & rhyme schemes before I'll make that leap tho.
|
13342129, Aint nothing wrong with any of that Posted by SeV, Tue Aug-06-19 01:25 PM
He in his bag
Not in Andre2k's bag like lil Kenny
And he actually got bars and punchlines
And he can sing ____________

13342142, LOL true re: singing. Posted by Brew, Tue Aug-06-19 01:42 PM
>He in his bag > >Not in Andre2k's bag like lil Kenny > >And he actually got bars and punchlines > >And he can sing
Yea he does his thing for sure. I really like this dude. Hate his name (I'm vehemently opposed to this now-trend of having crew names precede your stage name) but love this first album. Hope he builds off of this momentum and takes advantage. Cause again, I think you may eventually be right - I'm just not ready to go there yet ha.

13342143, RNP isn't horriblen fanily matters I very much like Posted by Selah, Tue Aug-06-19 01:47 PM

13342146, I was sad when the new Chance dropped but Cordae definitely softened Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Tue Aug-06-19 01:53 PM
the blow. Like the transition was so easy to swap dude in for Youth Minister Chance.

13342147, A crash course for those who ain't up on him. Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Tue Aug-06-19 01:54 PM
He made his first buzz with this cover:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrUqA4WLqDQ
Then he did a response to J Coles 1985 with this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wngm_Zbp8lo
Then he did this throwback old school performance on Fallon <[br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bOAyCft_sM
Then he dropped this album which is dope

13342265, "Freestyle" Posted by , Wed Aug-07-19 10:03 AM
As in pre-written bars.... not off the top.... but we've been debatin this nuance fo'eva on here. Go watch some Lupe to see a freestyle.
He looks like he could be Biz's Grandson.
werd.

13342317, sorry player, that ship done sailed Posted by Selah, Wed Aug-07-19 11:42 AM
>As in pre-written bars.... not off the top....
newer school cats changed the definition to mean 'something I haven't said on a record yet" a long time ago
its sad, but it it what it is
to the point where my cynicism makes me question the degree to which a pure freestyle was ever really a thing
|
13342325, freestyles going back to the 90s routinely showed up on album verses. Posted by Reeq, Wed Aug-07-19 12:28 PM
i wouldnt really call pre-written bars a newer school phenomenon.
most of the classic funk flex, come up show, etc ‘freestyles’ were blatantly pre-written.
inspektah deck spit the same ‘freestyle’ (another sound boy dyin...) on like 3 different tracks (2 on the same mixtape i think lol) and a radio show.

13342335, I didn't kno nyggas were still in the semantics bag on 'freestyle' Posted by SeV, Wed Aug-07-19 12:57 PM

13342340, Correct. Posted by Brew, Wed Aug-07-19 01:08 PM
The pearl clutching in here over this is kinda shocking actually. Thought this had been long since understood.
|
13342365, i'm more talking about the lack of pretense being new Posted by Selah, Wed Aug-07-19 03:30 PM
>i wouldnt really call pre-written bars a newer school >phenomenon.
folks aren't bothering to try and front and act like it's a big deal to have not just thought that ish up
now the flex is about whether or not you actually have it memorized (as opposed to having to read it off your phone or whatever)
|
13342268, yup. Posted by Reeq, Wed Aug-07-19 10:19 AM
|
13342313, That shit written Posted by legsdiamond, Wed Aug-07-19 11:39 AM
It’s dope tho

13342170, I like his album but I'm not there.. yet Posted by jimi, Tue Aug-06-19 02:57 PM
and i don't know if i'll ever be there.. comparing both of their earlier stuff, i'll definitely say kenny.
his album bangs and he can rap but something's missing. i also agree with above, his name (and names like it) is hard to get used to.

13342178, What does YBN stand for? Posted by sectachrome86, Tue Aug-06-19 03:12 PM
Shoulda just went with "Cordae". I like the album though. Pleasantly surprised to like a young dudes music these days.
|
13342180, Young Billionaire N****s, I believe. Posted by Brew, Tue Aug-06-19 03:15 PM
Or some stupid bullshit like that. Not a single, solitary one of these dudes is a billionaire.
I hate this trend so deeply.

Hard. I admitted as much.

13342244, Trollhan Super Saiyan Posted by atruhead, Wed Aug-07-19 02:57 AM
You could have said The Lost Boy > DAMN and you would have got no debate
but nope, you said a kid who blew up last year is better than a legend who's almost a decade in
|
13342251, I didn't need 10yrs to say Bron was better than Robert Horry Posted by SeV, Wed Aug-07-19 07:13 AM
His rookie year either.
____________
DALLAS LAKERICKS LETS GO!!
|
13342284, yep because Kendrick Lamar is a Robert Horry level talent Posted by atruhead, Wed Aug-07-19 10:55 AM
not someone who outrapped Jay Z on a song not one of the 5 most important LA hip-hop acts ever (Dre, Snoop, Cube then who?) not a guy with at least three important albums in the past decade
Cordae is future Lebron, Kendrick is Horry
|
13342331, And? Posted by SeV, Wed Aug-07-19 12:38 PM
Drake ate Jay on Poundcake (and it was in Jay's lane too unlike BDKMV)
Jay getting murked on features is nothing to be hanging ya hat on post BP3
But yea
Horry was bait but it ain't that far of a stretch
Horry put up pedestrian numbers but folk only remember him for the big shots and 7 rings
Kenny spits pedestrian bars but makes em sound dope as hell with hus voice inflections and flo (heavily influenced by 3stacks)
Kenny came in at the right time
Em was falling off
Stacks was and still is a random fixture in the game
Wayne was slowing down
And of course Drake was ushering in mellow sing songy OVO sound and folk were thirsty for 'real hip hop'
A push and cosign from Dre
A classic debut
And the lil black kid from Compton is making history
But this nygga Cordae...
He different

13342332, And how u gonna name top 5 important LA artist and not name Game? Posted by SeV, Wed Aug-07-19 12:46 PM
Nip was taken from us too early but I'd still make an argument for him as far as impact
But no mention of Game?
The disrespect smh ____________
DALLAS LAKERICKS LETS GO!!
|
13342338, are you the one who made that "lyricist" meme* with game on it? Posted by mista k5, Wed Aug-07-19 01:01 PM
one of them has to go and it has ghostface, jadakiss, fab and game???
|
13342342, Naw. Posted by SeV, Wed Aug-07-19 01:11 PM
But Fab would have to go
Game has made some great albums
He does a lot of clown shyt outside of music
But as far as albums
Hes been pretty damn consistent ____________
DALLAS LAKERICKS LETS GO!!
|
13342378, what we talking bout, trolling or we talking bout facts? Posted by atruhead, Wed Aug-07-19 04:54 PM
you cant be implying Game is more important than Kendrick
It's Dre, Snoop, Cube, Kendrick and I guess Nipsey because it's the biggest hometown rap death
Game has made dope music (three albums I hold in high regard since 2005) but between all of his shenanigans and trolling online, he doesnt get super extra love from rap fans in LA anymore
|
13342269, hes a better pure rapper than kendrick. Posted by Reeq, Wed Aug-07-19 10:19 AM
|
13342307, i'd say he's more of a "traditional" rapper than kendrick Posted by Ashy Achilles, Wed Aug-07-19 11:26 AM

13342312, Whoa now. He aiight. Posted by legsdiamond, Wed Aug-07-19 11:37 AM
|
13342336, thats who kenny is? Posted by mista k5, Wed Aug-07-19 01:00 PM
the cordae album is on my list to listen to. thats quite a bit of hype.
we will see.
|
13342354, Don't listen to these fools Posted by Hitokiri, Wed Aug-07-19 02:19 PM
two of them are known for having the worst music takes/taste on the board. I like Cordae's album a lot. He's not better than Kendrick. They're trippin.
|
13342323, So then you're saying... he's absolutely shitting on Drake Posted by Hitokiri, Wed Aug-07-19 12:17 PM
because...
|
13342333, Drake aint a full time rapper Posted by SeV, Wed Aug-07-19 12:49 PM
But yes If Drake was a full time rapper
He would be shytn in Drake
