awesome segue from hip hop to trip hop hehe
Am I the only one who in first listen started hearing Bono sing "this country is..." and started having convulsions over the next line being "an idea" and then let out a huge sigh of relief after hearing the drum and bass line?

4. Profit!
I wish he'd go back to being more direct, ya know? Like on Bad
Lols.
I'm assuming you're kidding, but the vagueness/abstractness of Bono's lyrics has always been a feature of the band to me, not a bug. This isn't a hard-and-fast rule, but I find that his more direct lyrics are less appealing to me, and I think those have been more common since 2000, if anything.
Only good song on Kendrick's new album. The rest is garbage.
I think those of you who simply don't like hip hop should refrain from calling the album garbage. It's the genre you don't like, not the album.
C'mon, maaaaaan... Don't be like that! While his opinion is definitely in the minority, you could've expressed your discontent with a more amicable tone. Next time just say, "That's silly" or "You're a silly-goose."You're an idiot.
Yeah, god forbid my opinion differ from yours! I must know nothing of what I speak, even though I listen to dozens and dozens of new hip hop albums every year.
For every Kanye LP that enters new territory, there's five other hip hop albums getting raves that are just repetitious bullshit about getting laid and being the best. And that's not me being patronizing or anything and it's exactly the sort of crap that the superior rappers like Kendrick will diss about on occasion. And then Pitchfork will interview these guys (like in an Over/Under video) and they'll basically cop to knowing nothing whatsoever about music. So, to me, the worst of the genre that I hear (in other words, the worst of the well-reviewed) is like listening to some crazed guy with problems and not much to say yelling on the street corner.
Other points:
- I do not recall one song where Kendrick disses other MCs for rapping about "getting laid and being the best"
- Kendrick has a ton of songs where he raps about getting laid and being the best - Backseat Freestyle, Control, Humble, Wesley's Theory, Sherane, Rigamortis, that's six right off the top of my head.
- What is inherently wrong about rapping about getting laid and being the best
- White rock musicians have been singing about getting laid and being the best for fucking decades
