2013 Hip-Hop
I understand being disappointed with Summer Knights. I was too. I still enjoyed it, but I thought it was just ok. I'm hoping Joey brings his best on his upcoming album.
But K.R.I.T. being boring and unoriginal?! I don't see that at all. One of the most talented guys in hip hop, and one of the only respectable and well known southern rappers out there. The man has been consistently putting out good music for the past few years (and most of it has been free to download). Please..Please let Joey turn into a Big KRIT type artist. We need more like him, and less Drake type dudes.
K.R.I.T is boring and unoriginal, yes. Did you see how his first album flopped? No originality whatsoever in the beat selection, in his flow, in the hooks, it all sounds the same! Sure, he has the talent to be great, but he needs to get his **** together. His first mixtapes were really good though.
Why less Drake type dudes? Take Care is an incredible album I don't see what you're talking about. Sure, Thank Me Later was garbage, but Take Care was really good. Got incredible reviews (viewed as a modern day classic by many), good lyrics that you can relate to, great hooks, great production. Why all the hate?
