<p>I am a massive hiphop fan and a Kendrick fan but King Kunta is a mainstream pice of fluff. </p> -

Powerful. Dark. That medley he did on Colbert earlier this week where he finishes off with U gave me the goosies.

Yeah sorry I left out that I love the album. But the whole king kunta being a supposed play on mainstream hip hop didn't really work. He sacrificed his own quality to prove a point.<br><br>
J Cole's recent offering was pretty bloody good. Also look up Childish Gambino. -

<p>I find it really hard to take him seriously as a rapper (although I like the tracks of his I've heard) - he'll always be Troy.</p> -

<p>He never actually intended to be taken seriously but then realised that he's actually amazing at it. Lyrically a monster, has a crazy good flow and can sing hooks too.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He's a bit like Jamie Foxx. All singing all dancing super talent.</p> -

I was more forgiving once I heard it within the context of TPAB and now I'll happily tap my toe to it although theres a vast gap in terms of depth and musicality compared to the rest of the album.<br><br>I'll check out J Cole / Childish Gambino - chur!
