new kendrick lamar http://www.sharebeast.com/ltalxshhlqyo

dre's verse sounds SO much like a typical kendrick verse it's great

that's kinda why i don't like the song -- it's pretty distracting

i guess it's not a huge deal now since it's no secret that dre doesn't write but i think part of good ghostwriting is not making it incredibly obvious that the rapper didn't write what he's rapping. dre doing kendrick karaoke is not what's up.

looking forward to the 2035 box set of Detox sessions where you can trace Dre's ghostwriter karaoke through whoever was hot at the time from one year to the next

"i think part of good ghostwriting is not making it incredibly obvious that the rapper didn't write what he's rapping. dre doing kendrick karaoke is not what's up."

this

To be honest I'm really quite surprised that at this point Dre doesn't just write his own verses... like he's been around rappers for twenty years... you seriously can't write your own 16 by now? Just get some fucking editing/someone to look over your shit, erase the whack shit and give you some hot lines to add...

but why would he want to?

To avoid doing Rapper Karaoke? I dunno.

I like this song

great beat

Dre started with Cube writing his verses and his talent pool has only gotten wider since then. i don't think Dre is denying the world anything by not honing skills as a lyricist but at the same time yeah maybe he should just get off the mic, noone gives a fuck.

you guys like that new Zilla tape?

I've always loved Dre as a vocal presence, but I'm well past the point of caring what he does. Weirdly, "Kush" was one of the most-played songs on the radio here last year. I got the impression it wasn't that big of a deal in most locales. Does sound hella good on the radio tho.

really like the starlito.

yeah, it's my favourite thing of his since Renaissance Gangster. Low key raps + Burn One = a winning formula

the joint just tagged 'produced by coop' is my fav so far

Am I the only one thinking that Renaissance Gangster was too chill, too much burn one ?

Here there's just the right amount of variety between beats, like on stepbrothers, and lito always manage to sound good wathever the beat is.

lol think about this sentence for a sec.

you don't hear it in the production (or reese's verse) but it really reminds me of mixtape 50... that mixture of bouncy melodicism while still being incredibly street

yeah i definitely heard a 50 cent thing in Beece's part

You gona smoke those joints, or walk around lookin like a walrus
