Kendrick’s GRAMMYs, Ab-Soul & Ferg Albums, How Many Drake Classics? | TBP Ep 26

[@hiphopdx]

Do you think the guys can go a full episode without mentioning Drake or Kendrick?

[@blackdiamond7363]

No

[@youreadood]

*Maybe* after the *Superbowl*

[@kmarcol1]

Nah because Drake is moving just like a degenerate every antic is feeling distasteful. So he continues to make hip hop headlines

[@moet-nectar]

Around march

[@calcutlass]

No, and they shouldn't

[@Monei_selflove]

Despite popular opinion Mr. Morale is my favorite Kendrick album. I still listen almost daily

[@freedomm]

Yes. It has only gotten better with time.

[@naaimshareef]

I am a huge fan of Kendrick he is one of the greatest m.c.s of all times, one of the greatest lyricists of alltimes, he has a great catalog of music. I love the Mr. Morale & the big stepers album and the Mr. Morale song however as a 45 years old Blackman i would say to K. Dot there is nothing wrong with him sleeping with white women, he shoudln't be a shame of that.

[@ebonywagner1682]

I got that album on repeat

[@KRG330]

Not my favorite Dot album but def a top tier album that I’m still listening to

[@cohecency7288]

Mr Morale thru headphones when I’ve got the house to myself is elite. One skip though. GKMC in the car. A skip on that for me too.

[@erronking7783]

Kendrick been tell y’all forever that he isn’t perfect it’s like y’all heard alright n was like yea he’s definitely the next savior no the man has been saying he’s fucked up for YEARS now

DJ Hed is so dope how breaks things down. Song writer bag 🔥

[@MBALI_LOVE_THANDO]

Shaboozey and Kendrick Lamar are the blueprint 🐐👑

[@barbaracooper3918]

Love when Hed breaks down the music and nuances. I personally, will listen to music on a different level other than lyrics. The three of you together make this show great!!!!!

That's what I'm saying! They crack me up too

Yo naaaah Elliott was hilarious this episode lol this was a great episode coz you guys were just shooting the shit and the topics were the framework rather than the focal point. Much love from the West Coast of South Africa aka Cape Town!

[@Orac11e]

West Coast. Love from the East Coast aka Durban✊

[@EANDM71]

The rewriting of history is really starting to irritate me. This effort to protect Drake at all costs will hurt Kendrick. I warned that the hip hop industry will try and destroy Kendrick Lamar. Drake is too big to fail and all these industry folks and rappers are running to protect him. They are rewriting history to protect Drake and help save his career. And they will take down Kendrick Lamar. I am praying that he not perform Not Like Us or any of the diss tracks during the Grammy's or the Super Bowl. I fear there will be a major backlash against him if he does this. It's really very sad, but I'm seeing the anti-Kendrick Lamar hate machine revving up. Kendrick is too much of a threat.

[@home-818]

14:46 elliott has had enough of hed's "it's classified" antics 😂

[@ultimatesingah]

This was a real good episode guys....more in depth convo about the music and the artist is important for hip-hop content in this Great Reset.

[@nrgydrink4489]

"who has a flute album secret?" killed me man

[@faithbrown8879]

@DJ Hed...I am thrilled the guy who tweeted he's not a Hip Hop Artist didn't get a Grammy nomination in the Rap category. 😊

I find the bigger picture so relaxing to watch, this episode in particular. Best podcast out right now

Not gonna lie I always wait for these podcasts come out ! I love them ! Such a funny group. DJ HED I totally agree with you when you say people have lack of nuance . There’s a lot of them hahah ! You are all legends

[@royalty_the1892]

That was a great episode. You guys really made it feel like a welcoming conversation while getting across some deep dives into several different artists. And, dropping gems for artists out there that want that full sound to an album. 💯🔥

[@JBWells]

This episode was honestly a gem!

[@LEMZITV]

That whole section from like 1:26:30 about the importance of artists/rappers working with producers is VERY important. That’s when Hed is really in his bag. Can we get that as a separate video?

[@1RedRosePetal]

Love Jeremy!!! DJ Head please let Jeremy live.

LET JEREMY SPEAK!!! The Canadian can't even finish his thoughts without being interrupted. Ghaad damn

Its been like that since the first episode .... Hed thinks he's funny when he's actually very dull and annoying. It is whatitis

One day I’ll finish a full sentence 😂

Yes, Not Like Us is on that level Elliott.

It can’t hit differently cause Kendrick been telling y’all before mr morale that he is not your savior

@drariles yessss I loved that album from the jump , I could not for the life of me get the criticism, I took it as musical preference,it seems people are finally listening,with an ear to understand and not just to be entertained.

[@Strattus19]

Didn’t listen to it when it came out (Wasn’t keeping up at the time) but I listened to it early last year and it’s easily my favorite Kendrick album and one of my top 3 albums in general across genre

Somebody tell Eliot the PDF stuff did land lol! My female coworkers treated the accusations like true crime and the rabbit holes and dots connecting with Drake saying creepy stuff to young women and his toxicity with dating had them locked in.

14:28 I have listened to New Blue Sun from beginning to end at least 5 times while wide awake. While driving and running errands. While cooking. I also really like jazz, and I like taking a break from hearing words. There’s more genres than just hip hop, Elliott 🙄😂

[@rosagonzalez4739]

I've listened to New Blue Sun beginning to end multiple times and just listened to it again this week.. And I know many people that went to the New Blue Sun concert tour... AND... many people have said it helped them greatly

Great episode!

[@jeremyhecht]

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@loki350]

1:45:16 i really don't understand this take about 4:44 being the blueprint for Morale. I feel like Morale was just a natural extension/progression for Kendrick. All of Kendricks albums are centered around him dissecting himself, his place in the world, society/etc. He has always exhibited vulnerability. Morale was just a deeper dive. I remember 4:44 was characterized by how mature it felt but did it really delve into the topics of therapy and trauma like morale? Was it even as vulnerable as Damn?

[@ArmLegLegArmHead47]

On 4:44 Jay talks about his infidelity (especially with White women), family trauma (his Grandfather being a Preacher who touched his kids), his Mom being a lesbian and hiding that fact for decades. This is very much in the same vein as Mr. Morale and Kendrick even said that Jay "took the cape off on 4:44", just like Kendrick did on Mr. Morale

[@ess-pee-arr]

Dang, I missed one hell of a hilarious show this past Saturday. Jeremy's timing and jokes are getting pretty good. Canadian people time and Hed with the melodies had me rolling. Hed shouting out baggy/frumpy clothing and the Bay Area was dope. Both of those definitely deserve more shine, and I'm not just saying that just because I'm a husky brother from the South Bay. Even Elliott had me laughing baggin' on 3 Stacks' flute album. Also, the video editors/effects people definitely deserve props for the assists throughout the show. The chipmunk mode Elliott crash out recap during the accountability section was a nice touch. Going back to the flute album, it's really wild that it was nominated for AOTY. All though I think Sabrina Carpenter will take that category. I also want to second Jeremy's sentiment on Schoolboy Q getting snubbed. Blue Lips was too good to be completely ignored like it has. And, the either Doechii or Schoolboy Q nomination stuff doesn't play. If you have a record label dominating like TDE is then it is what it is and nominees should reflect that. Also Jeremy's picks for Best Rap Album should have been exactly what was nominated. I do think Kendrick should win at least 1 award if not all 5. I think 3 is nice a compromise. My guess is that if he were there then his speech would be a mix between H-Dot's and J-Dot's. 😆 Sidenote, the new set is fire. It is well lit, and the sound is great. One last thing, who is this Justin that Jeremy went to the Backstreet concert with matching shirts with? It's not Hunte is it? Enquiring minds want to know. 😉

[@JoLamont101]

I've listened to the 3K album from beginning to End mulitple times. I love it

[@AnferneeMyers]

1:43:49 - Elliott is totally right. *4:44* was such a culture shifting album, and a blueprint for such vulnerability. The difference between Hov and Kendrick is age. Hov's peer group isn't in the same position as Kendrick's, overall, so I think the effects of *Mr. Morale* hit faster and harder because Kendrick's peer group is occupying the majority of Hip-Hop right now. *4:44* opened that door up, though, and (as Jeremy said) brought a lot of honesty back to the game.
