    LA ? are like NY ? . They unite under LA til they get to issues with each other then its "You from Long Beach that ain't LA" just like NY ? start separating ? by borroughs lol

    Uh no. To DMX and the Lox
    "You from Yonkers that ain't the City"
    -no ? ever

    We'd claim Newark if we could.

    So ya'll NY ? don't start cracking jokes on each other based on whichever borough you're from? Wasn't it a NY ? who came up with the "Manhattan keeps on making it, Brooklyn keeps on taking it ,Bronx keeps creating it, and Queens keeps on faking it"? ? I know plenty people from the Bronx who tell ? from Co-Op City "Nah you not from the Bronx. Co-Op ain't the Bronx"

    I'll start off by saying I like the album but

    This album is a step back Imo. With his previous joints he separated himself from his peers but not on this one.

    It kinda feels like he made an album that would be mainstream, which I can't knock him for, but I just don't ? with it like the other ones.

    It sounds like he was listening to a lot of Drake while making this album too.

    Duckworth is classic Kendrick tho

    Anybody that likes "Love" better not be a Drake hater lol its the same damn kinda music he makes.

    There is a big difference between one song on your album about Love vs 15 straight songs about simping and dwelling on ex girlfriends.

    Yea but thats why i cant ? with Drake. Drake makes the same ? song 100x over. I stopped really checkin for him after Take Care. You wont find me in his threads.

    Just because he made 1 track called Love u cant say its a Drake track. Artists like Nas, UGK, & Devin the Dude have made tracks similar in style or topic. Drake didnt invent it... He just dont do ? else.

    You are conflating neighborhood love for the city overall. ? rep their hood from anywhere in the world but when it's time to represent for NYC ? ain't gonna go "you are not from the 5 boroughs proper." Rakim is from Long Island.


    Same reason Decatur, East Point, College Park ? claim Atlanta.

    It's not the amount of songs because nobody said he made a whole album like that, it's the song period. It's some Drakish ? . It's a good song, but it's still some ? Drake would make

    ? you said exactly what I just said. NY ? are all about NY...til it comes to individual boroughs then ya'll jokes come out about how "Queens ? do this, BK ? do that, Harlem ? do this"...it ain't that deep bruh. Every city does it.

    How is it not?

    Drake doesn't make love songs. 95% of his songs are shot him fuckkng up with a girl in the past and now that he's famous he wants her back . Kendrick isn't even singing on th track. Drake slow moody songs are superficial . This is a song about his fiancé .
