| Kendrick Lamar. Compton born and bred. Born in '87. The best voice/flow combination I've heard since Wiz Khalifa. He hears a beat and makes it his without even trying too hard. Conscious rapper who understands that he doesn't need to smoke to think deeply; he can stimulate his mind every time he thinks of the end of time, creation of man, and Columbine. 100% real raps, too. No fabrication. I thought I gave up on rap, but this man's music changed my 2010. The only thing I wanted for my birthday this year (which is in a day -- September 18th. 24, aka "The Kobe". Bingo.) was for OD, his newest project to drop, and it did on the 15th. That's what I can think of off the top of my head. Now, on to why he's the future. |
