8. "Kendrick is so shy that he doesn't interview well." In response to Reply # 0 Fri Jan-08-16 01:26 AM by Hitokiri
that was the take away from the first part. And I thought this was the weakest of his tv performances so far in this cycle. But people are going crazy over it. So maybe it's me. But it was better the second time I watched it. I think I was initially kinda put off that he recycled his verse from "Ain't That Funkin' Kinda Hard On Ya"

interesting that i saw this a day or so after i saw the clip of KRS interviewing Rakim, who explained that a lot of what differentiated and shaped his style was patterning his cadence after john coltrane solos.
that was such a lightbulb moment.
and then fast forward and watch kendrick do this shit.
i also dug the interview, and the fact that fallon even afforded him that opportunity. very dope.

23. "Kendrick uses his flow like an instrument" In response to Reply # 18
Not his voice, but his flow. He usually doesn't stay in the same pattern for very long, and almost never for a whole verse. It's almost like a sax solo or something. It's mercurial.

19. "Seriously who is better live in the rap world?" In response to Reply # 0
I wish more emcees would work there voices more when it comes to the live show. Additionally, you can tell he runs his patterns with that of the instrumentals which what vocals should do. Props

Seriously, I truly believe, and I said this via Facebook also. He is "The One" for this decade. He is able to reach the old heads (like us) and the young'ns. We all appreciate his music.
That was the entire shit!
