and people wonder why fayetteville is hard to recruit to
Well, you are kinda demonstrating a cultural divide common among our fans versus recruits.
Absolutely. This is a culture that 70% of the student athetes we recruit are into.
Good grief snowflake because some people think this guy was trash tonight, give me a break
Snowflake? Tells me all i need to know.
You are the one that is upset and appears to be a fragile snowflake. I'm just chilling and having a good laugh about this thread.
it was. I got a good chuckle. I thought “no need to change it since it’s a dog regardless”
P.T. Barnum continues to be right. And as another wise writer wrote “No one in this world, so far as I know — and I have searched the records for years, and employed agents to help me — has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people.
Don't confuse popularity with art.
Wasn't the best KL performance, imo. But I also get the feeling that doesn't matter to most of the oldheads.
I just wish they would've let him do his thing in the building...

What great progress we've made, we've gone to glorying drugs, violence and the least successful portion of our culture. The world is truly upside down. Hey I'm a white middle class kid I wanna grow up to be a dope dealer!!
Would agree with that for sure.True but in all fairness they game was probably better than the super bowl will be
When rappers do live performances it is typical to have vocals playing in the background at a reduced audio level. Just about every rapper I've seen in concert does this.
Also most of you people bashing him saying he is not a lyricist obviously have not listened to his music. Kendrick is a genius with his lyrics compared to a lot of rappers these days in the main stream. I wasn't blown away by his performance however, I think they should have chose someone who appeals to more fans.

They used to say the same things about Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, and many others. Kendrick Lamar is a very well renowned Lyricist. Just because you don't get it does it mean it's not art. To the contrary, it probably means you just got old. I'm not trying to be mean about it. It's just the way it usually is as one generation Fades and another one Rises to the majority.
Couldn't change the channel fast enough, to watch commercials of paint drying.
What was that stuff?
Go back and watch the video. In the first song the words often started or continued in the main lyrics when his microphone was away from his face. For whatever reason, that rap was pre-recorded in its entirety. I am not sure why. But it was embarrassingly obvious to me.
Even with a full and concerted effort, you could not be missing the point more completely.
I'm consistently confused by people who feel the need to dismiss something as valueless just because they don't like it.
Happens all the time. Like this thread. A mod didn't like it and threw it to Grim bottom. Why? Taste and power.
Hardly, Dylan was a Pete Seeger knockoff, Elvis was just ripping off the black RB artist who couldn't get any airplay because of segregation and "wicked" rock and roll. Chuck did stuff a little different but it would be difficult to mention him in the same breath as say Mozart or even a jazz cat with chops like Coltrane. The hardest song Chuck ever played maybe had five chords. Again never confuse popularity with art.
You're certainly entitled to whatever opinions you choose, but calling Dylan a Seeger knockoff is almost as dumb and reductive as the others you've expressed in this thread.
Of course, Seeger was an inspiration, but by the time he was 23 years old and recording "Another Side..." Dylan had already eclipsed the venerable folk singer in terms of creativity and poetic technique. Find me anything in Seeger's catalog as impressionistic, dense and esoteric as this, which I've selected more or less randomly from Another Side's lyrics.
Crimson flames tied through my ears
Rollin' high and mighty traps
Pounce with fire on flaming roads
Using ideas as my maps
Never confuse age with wisdom or knowledge with insight.
eclipsed would be a matter of perspective. Again you are confusing popularity with art. And for the record I don't really consider what Pete or Bob did as art, just pop culture of the day. Pete at least at some principles though.
No. That is not what I'm doing. You are objectively wrong about that. Whether or not you consider poetry to be art is up to you, but I'm basing my argument here on the quality of the work, not how it was received.
