Kendrick Lamar - IamGuruJay

Kendrick Lamar crafts clever wordplay like a Scrabble champion. His music can rile up and/or rejuvenate the masses. Don’t tempt him unless you want the repercussions. Like Ice Cube said, “check yourself.” You see like Common, Kendrick’s voice registers with Joe Public and that means something.

So, where do you rank Kendrick Lamar among the best in the rap game? I feel he is a highly rated player on par with Tyga. Actually, he is better than Tyga (who is great btw) I just couldn’t resist writing that cool sentence. You see Kendrick Lamar doesn’t have many equals in Hip Hop and it’s an injustice.

Combine talent, naturally/ God-given gifts, and work ethic and you get Kendrick Lamar. It doesn’t take Einstein to solve the K-Dot equation. Staying committed to the cause/ provides a way out of the clause.

Plus Kendrick Lamar makes some of the best music videos in the industry. His Poetic Justice video featuring Drake deserves an honorable mention. And Taylor Swift’s Bad Blood is one featuring Kendrick that should get recognized more often.

Society needs music in order to thrive. Music keeps humanity off the brink of extinction. What would you do without art?

Who knows? In a couple of years, Kendrick will be the number 1 favorite overtaking the likes of Drake. He can record underground mix tapes and mainstream pop songs alike.

The explicit lyrics and originally creative content of Kendrick Lamar defines his greatness. Replay the Recipefeaturing Dr. Dre for the full whammy as he pours out his overflowing juices. Rhyme comes easy to the Compton rapper because it’s hard enough “living just enough for the city.”

Sometimes, I swear he should be a comedian because of his sound effects. Martin Lawrencehas an entertainment effect. “Martin had a dream. Martin had a dream. Kendrick have a dream.”

I’m convinced that Cleveland, Ohio contains a secret ingredient in their water. Look at LeBron James as a prime example. I don’t blame him for returning to this city anymore.

Carrie Underwood said “there is something in the water.” Of course, Cleveland is strategically located by the Great Lake Erie. Did you know Kid Cudi was born and raised there? Not in the water silly! on land; he’s not Aquaman.

What are your favorite Kid Cudi songs? I suggest Day ‘N’ Nite, Pursuit of Happiness, and Up, Up & Away. In addition, the musician received two Grammys for All of the Lights.

Not enough bloggers pay tribute to Kid Cudi and his heavy impact on music. The average consumer listens to Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and J. Cole in that order. Let me introduce you to a little variety, because isn’t life all about taking it up a notch?

Kid Cudi brings back the days of Woodstock. I’ve said it before, if I could time travel, I’d go back to 1970 and save Jimi Hendrix. Because I can’t break through the time continuum right now, I’ll see a few Cudi concerts while technology advances.

First off, Kid Cudi is underrated because he goes against the grain like Common, Mos Def, and Nas. He understands that Hip-Hop isn’t Pop. Rappers like Cudi are supposed to be vocal about social issues. Yes, pick and choose your battles, but don’t sellout and act cowardly. That’s what Iggy Azalea hasn’t learned.

Kid Cudi proves that making positive Hip-Hop music is possible. What is more, properly produced motivational songs can in fact be profitable. Cudi demonstrates why more artists should incorporate spiritual and uplifting lyrics instead of superficial and materialistic nonsense.

Aren’t you sick and tired of the rubbish you hear on the radio? Why not try something different? Listen to Kid Cudi on Pandora, iTunes, and YouTube.
