JID is JID, Kendrick is Kendrick, and Curry is Curry

[@The_24th_Sage]

Thank you

[@crowing3886]

Other than the tone. Jid an kendrick have no similarities. Their flow is different, delivery, lyricism etc.

[@coolwhiprofl]

@@crowing3886 throughout Never Story there are definitely striking similarities between the two.

[@crowing3886]

@@coolwhiprofl naw. Just the vocal tones. Jids wordplay an flow is waay more diverse compared to kendrick imo. If they didn't share similar tone nobody would be calling jid the next kendrick lol.

[@coolwhiprofl]

@@crowing3886 Oh yeah, it's definitely not the same. I just said that the parts where he sound very much like kendrick are here and there throughout the project. Just for a couple of bars every now and then. Obviously kendrick has influenced him but to me he is not at all a "new kendrick" in terms of his style. And in terms of being the biggest rapper in hiphop? It's a little bit early to say, don't you think?

[@chrisringer5778]

Jaiden A Naw Bro that comparison only comes when it talks as comparing styles. I just want this kid to get his just due as a dope MC not as a form of another rapper.

[@doramilaje04]

I've been blasting this kid since the never story...folks sleeping on him

[@MarkQuick0411]

Let’s not label new upcoming potential rappers as next K Dot it’s better to let them marinate and get their spices to serve us quality dish

[@Mrsmith0419]

That happens to every dope Artist that comes out. It happen to J Cole & Kendrick comparing them to Nas & Jay. I do see similarities in their styles sometimes but you can tell Jid’s going to be in his own lane.

ALBUM OF THE YEAR | AL13UM OF THE YEAR

[@OurFoundingLiars]

I saw Denzel Curry last year at a free show. He played football with his fans before the show then he performed for over an hour with no backing vocals. And then he played football again. I don’t think the man is human and he should be investigated, perhaps ULT was the name of a secret super soldier testing act to increase adrenaline and for some reason he went into music. I guess. Idk. Keep asking questions.

[@superskrull62]

Nah bro he's a super saiyan lol.

[@AQGOAT24]

He probably works out. Some artists really get into shape so they can perform

[@nwinsto602]

[@morganfreeman2102]

Nyle Winston that’s your opinion.

[@djdj696]

Denzel said 13 is seen as an unlucky number and it looks like a B which is the first letter of Black, so I guess he's kind of addressing how being black is treated as a taboo. Something like that.

[@pgjpoems]

Interesting prospective

[@user-mc1ir2ri9i]

@@mikee143 not really

[@Egbert2011Games]

Mikey Geb what do you mean it's a stretch? Denzel literally explained that concept himself

[@brainguide20]

Also, he has an ep called 13 which is in the middle of Ta13oo. This was meant to reference how 13 was a transitionary work between Imperial and Ta13oo

[@DaLomlMusic]

I hope that's not the concept because that's really trying to force a concept. I personally didn't like the album but everyone giving it praise is making me about to go back to it. I hope it grows on me because I love when albums do that

[@makeurowndontbitemine]

To me this album deserves a grammy award. If he doesn't get it, at least give him the nomination. This album deserves to be in the AOTY conversation. This was his most ambitious and different work yet. I personally loved this album. My favorite act is the first one because of it's diversity. Easily a 8.5-9/10. Keep up Denzel 🔥🔥💯👌🏾💪🏾

[@juicemanvon9859]

8.5 is about right. If this kid steps up his wordplay, he'll be a definite threat to the Kendricks and J. Coles. Super Saiyan Superman goes hard!

[@dabossman5650]

Already is and has been since Imperial and if not that then just before this album dropped

[@starrgazer9]

Yes. Agreed. You said my thoughts exactly. When I finished this album... I was like "Grammy's... NOW". The last album I felt like that for was Krit's.

[@Isaiah_McIntosh]

Da Bossman nah man taboo is his best work by far and let's be honest he is a "threat" because of a passionate fanbase not skill yet. Tbh they aren't even in the same lane, so this is one of the competitions that won't ever work.

[@dabossman5650]

Taboo is his best but personally I prefer his music to kendrick and cole a lot-i get what u mean by they arent in the same lane tho

I like Goldlink but that verse was pretty forgettable.

[@Northsyde21]

His verse wasnt bad, it was just aight. His flow was weak and boring

[@oglesbytimothy11]

Yeah imma disagree lol. Half the reviews he doesn’t even say anything, especially on some good ass albums

[@thegreatgahooli]

Tim Oglesby I disagree with him a lot too, usually I like projects he dislikes but I know if he does like a project there will be something a little special about it

[@LifeisLEISURE]

To answer the questions on Tom Hardy: Taboo is a series that Tom Hardy stars in about a man who faked his death only to return years later to take over his now deceased fathers shipping company. The clown does not make an appearance here. Tom Hardy plays a clown/performer in his 2008 movie ‘Bronson’ where Tom Hardy plays a man in prison for a robbery but is a loose cannon and pretty much loses himself in solitary confinement. I don’t think any of those things have a connection to Denzel’s album though. I imagine the ‘Taboo’ that Denzel speaks of is the truth of what the music industry really is and what it perpetuates on our youth and our community. It’s taboo to call out the bullshit so nobody will listen to you, aka how he feels he’s been treated his entire career. Just a hunch.

I honestly loved Imperial and found it to be my favorite album of 2016. TA13OO is currently my favorite album of this year and there really ain't too much competition apart from Veteran and RR2. Can't wait to see his next project. Him releasing this kind of project at 23 is insane when you think about how Kendrick released Section.80 at 24. I personally believe that if Denzel could further polish his concepts, then he could release an all time of this generation. His flow is insane compared to just about any other rapper alive, and his slick wordplay is something that you don't find everywhere. That first verse on SIRENS displayed his ability to write extended metaphors and be able to build momentum in a track, which is something that takes skill. Cannot wait to hear his next project, I've been blown away since it dropped

[@DioBrando1996v]

[@SeniorBrochacho]

I feel like this release is a celebration of both where he has come from and whats to come. Its moody but its got something for everyone,I feel. Denzel's growth as a human and rapper is showcased beautifully through fury and sincerity and it fucking hits you in the greatest way. He is him,whether you fuck with it or not. He's here to stay and now he's in the front where I feel he belongs. Lets also note his great choice in features (damnpeggy.avi). Bless DEHH. Bless Denzel. Thanks for the review,my dudes.

no one talked about The Blackest Balloon, the best song on the album

[@IvanKisaragi]

Logan Konrade Man, more than half the album is the best song 😹, Cash Maniac for me.

[@luny2nez281]

The music video for CLOUT COBAIN | CLOUT CO13A1N will tell you everything about this album. It shows Denzel Curry in a circus and the owner is making him dance around for entertainment. In the circus they selling lean, face tattoos and xans in hot dogs. Then Curry goes live on his phone and sees everyone laughing to realize he is in a TABOO. So he shoots himself because he thinks thats the only way to get out of their state of mind of being imprisoned in a lifestyle. That is what I took from the theme of TABOO. Great review DEHH!!

[@dotun1m]

Also there's a lot references to X's death on this album especially on the grey side of the album. Fans of both will catch the metaphors and the parallels in their life there and how denzel curry could've been dead too. It's scary good
