I also like Kendrick Lamar, but I'm much more likely to listen to Watch the Throne. I don't know. I see it as a record that actually lived up to a massive amount of hype, which is increasingly rare of late.

Weird. I get deeply bored whenever I try to listen to Watch the Throne. I find it rote and lacking in any sense of energy or urgency, especially when it comes to the beats. Hov's lyrics are often pretty damn good, but he delivers them with all the swagger of a mailman.

This is the problem with rap there's too many hanger ons. Jay-z post 2007 is trash. Eminem has sucked for a very long time as well. Yet people continue to support them because of their names.

Eminem is as good as he's ever been right now on a technical level. He just doesn't have anything to say anymore.

I'm drunj off Bourbon Barrel Quad and I would like to hear arguments as to how any rap producers can be in the same realm as Block Beattaz. If you aren't Clams Casino, Kanye, or Lazerbeak then you are not at Block Beattaz' level. Listen to those two G-Side albums, you buttholes.

I actually do think that rap is awesome because he rips the shit out of Chris Brown. What is not awesome is that he labels himself a "nerdy white kid" to market it. Or he'll maybe it's brilliant to do so, but it just feels like pandering.
