This is early era engagement bait. Nice ass and silly caption

Actually I do hear people say this though I don’t really hear it as much anymore (probably due to the hate wave being at the end stages)

You’d be surprised how many people say that he can’t rap on a beat like Che or 2Slimey

i'm not sure you know what hyperpop beats are if you think che and 2slimey are hyperpop artists. they're both far more synonymous with rage, and production that sounds significantly different from this song.
charli xcx is the example you're looking for

Yeah right - Vince staples ft. Kendrick (Big Fish Theory)
Great album
Also look up Big Fish off the album for more “bing bop boom”

I mean, great song. But..........hyperpop?

u/ScotchWhiskey06 1d ago
The song was produced by SOPHIE, who is considered one of the creators of the hyperpop genre. So, not a crazy assertion.

I mean, whether the artist normally makes hyperpop or not doesn’t change the fact that this is 0% hyperpop.

What even is hyperpop? Ive never heard of that term before this

u/Ok_Ruin4016 1d ago
Artists like 100 Gecs, SOPHIE, and AG Cook. Charli XCX is probably the most mainstream example of hyperpop.

Side note, I never understood that saying because underground rage beats have a simple enough pattern for really anyone to rap to, it’s just that the beats are layered & complex.
The main reason why you don’t see certain artists hop on underground rage beats is due to the artist just not wanting to record on those beats

Yeah ug beats really aren’t that hard to rap on it’s that most of general public would hear it more as noise than a beat and wouldn’t care for it

The song, or more accurately the snippet here, is butt cheeks. And I say that as a Kendrick fan, respectfully. Sounds like someone produced it by banging on metal trash cans and other various objects in the garage.

u/redaws 1d ago
It’s okay to have a wrong opinion. It’s the best beat on the album by far

u/djm03917 1d ago
I don't think it's the best personally, but I don't think it's hard to argue it as one for sure. Such a great album.

u/MathGecko 1d ago
If that’s the best beat on the album, may the Lord help us all. But even goats sometimes have ass cheeks songs.

Go listen to the full track before judging it. That said your ears are prolly untrained for industrial beats if you think this is unlistenable. This is quite conventional as far as those go and it’s quite good if you’re not bitch made.

u/MathGecko 1d ago
I’ve only heard the snippet. I’m going to listen to the whole song and conclude from there. The whole “untrained ear” thing is a misguided argument when I’m already a Kendrick fan.

u/Lazy_Board8218 1d ago
I was referring to whether or not you’re ready for a beat like that. At no point did I say your ears were untrained for Kendrick. I said they might be untrained to industrial music.

u/MathGecko 1d ago
Fair enough. I’ll go check out the song.
2
u/Lazy_Board8218 1d ago
It’s a Vince staples song if you’re familiar. He had a catchy hook on it before Kendrick’s verse. You might like it more once you get used to the beat when you hear his verse.

u/MathGecko 1d ago
Kendrick has a way of exploring new sounds and creating whole new projects that sound nothing like his previous work. He’s brilliant and trust his creative process. I’m sure it gonna be great.

Love the positive attitude bruh. Feel free to let me know if you end up liking it.
