Muzik Talk 1 : Kedrick Lamar/K. Dot

I decided I'ma write a column about artists (singers, rappers, bands, etc.) I'm feelin' at the moment . I'll write about why I like 'em and what makes 'em good artists overall . My first Muzik Talk column will be about Kendrick Lamar aka K. Dot .

I been followin' this dude's music for almost a year now . It's a little weird to call him by Kendrick Lamar because when I first found out about his music, he went by the name K. Dot . He's probably one of the hottest underground rappers right now . He has this unique voice/flow that I've never heard from other rappers . The first song I ever heard from him was the song "I Need That" (STILL one of my favorites of all time) . It's one of those songs I can never get tired of . The beat, the flow, the LYRICS, the story-telling . . WOW .

Story-telling is probably his strongest skill in my opinion other than his punchlines/lyrics . . In his new song called "Beyonce", he raps about being an obsessed/in loved fan of Beyonce . And WOW, the way he describes his "feelings" for Beyonce in that song is just crazy/funny . Y'all just gotta listen to it .
But yeah, I actually like most of his new shit better because back then, he was more of a 'gangsta rapper .' His new music has more 'Hip-Hop' feel to it but at the same time it still has some 'gangsta' flavor to it .
Oh by the way : he's from L.A. [Compton to be exact] ;D You already know . . the fool gets plus points just for being a West Coast/SoCal ridah . Ha .
