At times, Kendrick’s quirkiness can be hit or miss. And this new track is an example of the latter. The beat’s not bad, but the long intro and inconsistent pauses are. Can’t front, this one comes off a bit soggy. Produced by THC.
NOT FIRST……………..
na this is ODEEEE….kinda weird beginning but this shit is ODEEEEE
THIS NIGGA Y’ALL SAID SHOULD MAKE THE HOTTEST MC’S LIST? GIMME A FUCKIN BREAK HOMIE MAD OVERRATED
^Shut yo dumbass up.
Nah yo I disagree with B, This song is actually really dope I expected it to be whack based on the write up.
this song is great. i don’t understand the hate for it. If the intro is to long then you can’t post any other drake songs on this site lolol
this shit crazy…rapradar’s writing sucks big weener
rap radar is just retarded, they just praise those who are friends of the site or just so amaya and others can suck their dicks. This song is dope fuck the write up, k dot goes in again.
Very avant garde.I can’t believe Kendrick’s a new artist. He’s so developed already.
B.Dot listened to the first 30 seconds and called it a day.
Fuck this site man
real Kendrick fans can ride to this
Fire
I’m quick to dislike something. Sometimes I wish ya’ll wouldn’t comment on songs it makes me not even want to hear it. Anyway I was pleasantly surprised to hear Gunplay on here. Shit is dope. @JealousCloud
ACE HOOD HAD A BETTER YEAR THN THIS NIGGA
Stooooooopiddd FIRE! Rapradar WTF are you talking about. The intro isnt too long are you even listening to what is being said. This track is DOPE AND DEEP. FUCK THIS SITE.
First off!
The beginning is a bit experimental, but at that 1:44second mark… It makes everything worth it! This dude got off & the beat start riding. Y’all got my dawg messed the f**k UP!
rap radar gotta post mo’ of that kinda artist ! Cleverness, street and originality what else you need to get you fly!
Wow, this is a great and original track, which shows how sonically advanced K.Dot really is compared to his peers. I can’t believe out of all the garbage Rap Radar posts objectively THIS is the shit they have to call out and insult twice. Those ‘pauses’ aren’t blank spaces, they are portions of music. You know someone doesn’t have to be singing or rapping on the whole track for it to be a great rap song. This is an epic track that can stand up with some of Kanye’s most theatrical productions….and it’s about “Cereal and Cartoons”
CHECK YA HEAD B.DOT!

lol everyone needs to boycott this site, this is better than 99% of all the other shit they big up on here, lets face it Jay Z could record himself having a wank and these dudes would call it Hottest Track of the Year.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Same thing I was thinking. This track is crack! Creative as hell and well put together. B.Dot WTF? Wake up homes. (rapradar)
These Rapradar niggaz buggin, if you really open your mind to what kendrick does youll really realize this shit is freaking ILL
B. Dot you are trippin good brother.
Some fans are just bias. No matter what their artists put out their gonna support it and condemn anyone who doesnt agree. Im a semi Nicki fan but not to the point where I can say everything she’s put out is garbage along with Wayne’s crappy corny lyrics.
Besides the intro this shit go I fuck with it
B Dot… … whats wrong with you…. this is bananas
This song is so insane, damn K.Dot is such the man
“I hope ur all amused”… Don Logan Gunplay……
Bow Bow Bow!!
This nigga B.Dot is delusional. This track is ill on too many levels.
We should know better than to listen to B. Dot. The man fucks with Officer William.
BDot…. Give us that download link now….. please
is that Gunplay from MMG on the hook? Sounds like him….but the title doesnt name any features, if so Im wondering how those 2 hooked up n recorded….odd couple nahmean
Dope ass song tho!
BEST RAPPER NEXT TO NAS!
HATE HIM NOW!
This goes hard as fuck
[…] RapRadar, DiverseHipHop, Hip Hop N […]
So RR is just gonna leave out Gunplay huh….
anyone who hates on Kendrick has fuckin ear problems nigga
So are you saying you agree with B.Dot’s write up? Or are you just sneaking in to cry some passive-aggressive nonsense again?
I dont hate kendrick but i think most of yall like him cause he’s not blown up and crossed over yet…fucking hypocrites…in like 3years from now yall will say thesame shit you now say about drake and cole….smh

^RICK ROSS DIDN’T WRITE A CHECK FOR HIS NAME TO BE POSTED. IT WILL BE POSTED UP WHEN THE CHECK COMES.
WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
ay who produced this shit?
Fire, fuck whoever disagrees. K Dot da future.
Nigs are creaming B.Dot. Lmao. Leave that man alone he just didn’t rock w/ it. Everything isn’t for everyone. That being said, THIS SHIT CRAY!!!! & every K.Dot fan will agree.
Reminds me of some Outkast shit.I like it.This is cool.He’s flowing on here.Not sure what the concept is yet, but I like it

‘in like 3years from now yall will say thesame shit you now say about drake and cole….smh’ – ha yeah cos Drake was definitely on Kendrick’s level before he signed with Young Money, LOL good one! good joke!
I don’t know how you say this is garbage!
This so ill and left field.
Was so different I didn’t even know whether I liked it at first.
I mean Kendrick even brought the best out of Gunplay. Give the man an applause.
Original…. SMH! This is a straight Andre 3000 rip off. Carbon Copy type shit… still far from garbage though!
this is too deep for rap radar smh
Yo……. this is kinda crazy, I can’t front.
It’s original as hell. I dig it.
BOW BOW BOW BOW
And MUTHA Fing GUNplay ON the track!….. THIS TRACK IS CRAAAAKKKKK!
Yeaa… Maybe RapRadar should relisten to this track. I fux with it. It’s different, but in a good way. Definitely better than a lot of tracks you guys like to praise.
SICK! KENDRICK IS SICK!
Rap Radar hates Kendrick cause dude is better than most coming out of New York. We all know damn well that if this was something French Montana did (dude doesn’t have the skills to pull something like this off) they’d be on his nuts hard. B.Dot was shitting on Earl badly too cause he’s better than most NEW artists coming out of NY. But hey whatever Rap Radar still brings the exclusive shit just some things they do that makes you go really? O_o like the whole Rick Ross/MMG, Jay-Z, Ye, Drake dick riding, with that being said great record by Kendrick Lamar and Gunplay went in as well which was surprising
This shit fire. Kendrick on a different level
TRASH!!!! WUT THE FUCK WAS THAT LAMAR??!!!
…..WHERE THE FUCK U AT DRE??!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
this just doesn’t even compare to watch the throne. you’re so right, b.dot.

————————————————————–
Completely agree
i still love drake and j.cole just as much when comeback season and/or friday nightlights/the warm up came out. People need to start listening with their ears instead of with their eyes. stop worrying about how popular someone is.
he killed this shit rr is a joke
This is cool.
B Dot your write up is garbage. This song is amazing.
Animaniac the only thing that gave a peace of mind
@Smoke screen Co-sign
Gotdamn… This shit is tuff. That avante guard sound Kendricks got is dope as fuck. He’s killing em all.
Banger. I like that nigga Gunplay, he needs to be pushed!
dope. creative. even if you like an artist why would you want all of their music to sound the same?
Yall niggas crazy if you think this song is a Miss? Really rap radar? So we condemning great creativity now? This is Hip Hop at its finest. Fresh and Creative. Fuck what you heard. Im riding with everybody from TDE right about now! West-coast killing Shit!
dope
yo b dot you didnt like the intro. did you listen to the lyrics, do you understand the depth of this song nigga?
This is hard as fuuuck! Pause.
This song is fire. B.dot must me smoking something different.
I SEE THE MMG CHECK WAS CLEARED.
HATE ME NOW!
Dude This is a Classic. Authentic. This that King Shit.Level ^UP Bitch.And Moveeee
Hot-diggy-damn this track go HARD
I cant get with this. Just because somethings different doesnt mean its tight. I’d rather hear about something relevant than fiction rap.
yo @advercity
how the fuck is it fiction? he’s talking about the shit that happens in compton
and its not even out there, has a weird-ish intro but apart from that it’s a straight hip hop track
niggas is buggin
I listened to the whole song, and I didnt hear anything about life observations, perspective, or any coherent story, only how he thought cartoons were G as a kid. No relevance like I said. Now as far as hip-hop goes, I listen and make rap music. Hip-hop is a watered down and less skilled version (class/derivitive) of rap. I’m not targeting anyone but you when I say that hiphop fans dont have significance to acknowledge substance that rap has.
[…] via @RapRadarSeen this?: […]
@adversity thats cause you are not taking the time to process something like this that has a high thc… listen, study… kendrick alike jay electronic, andre 3k are artist that you have to REALLY LISTEN AND WANT TO UNDERSTAND… at the of the day, if you cant get it? try RAP Genius (great cite) here is a link for this song http://rapgenius.com/Kendrick-lamar-cartoon-and-cereal-lyrics
@dumbniggasthesedays i got em… he just need a lil push. lol #NONEGATIVITY
@ADVERSITY Metaphors is what is his ingredients… complex ones at that.
Hey, I listened, I’m just not interested in the kid stuff. I’d rather hear a rappers more practical observations. There was nothing he was talking about. If he was talking about elmer couldnt catch the rabbit and linking the occurance to despair, then thats intriguing. I didnt get any significant content from the verse.
Done Kendrick the man
@Advercity Ye I know Kendrick is not that good, thats why West coast passed him the torch #NUFFSAID
Hey, Game is garbage, and most, no, each west coast rapper rap about the cliche murder murder lifestyle when zero have any murders to their repoire. The Game passing the torch to Lamar is nothing to get too excited about. I havent decided to discredit the west coast pioneers, still I could. So aside from Dr. Dre and Snoop, west coast pioneers, the west coast rappers have a enclosed proximitied fanbase. Lamar has the opportunity to expand and that is why west coast patrons are so excited. Plus Game got global after fifty cent. Fifty’s an icon, and Game got lucky by being put into G-unit, just like The Pill got lucky being put into MMG; just Game was rapping fifty’s raps (you do know 50 wrote for game on collabs and Games solo album)., Maybe if Ross wrote for The Pill, the Pill’d be global today. Anyway, Lamar’s rap lacked coherency and relevance to life.
Dont take it so personally guys; some people are just naturally too stupid to understand what’s going on here, and they like to name themselves things like “Advercity” and claim that “rappers” like Lil Wayne and Wiz Khalifa go deeper than “hip hop artists” like Kendrick Lamar and Jay Electronica. It’s ok. In a few years, he’ll graduate high school, and then he’ll either understand how ignorant he used to be, or having failed that, he’ll probably just get hit by a slow-moving truck or something.
I despise lil wayne today. Wiz khalifa, What a joke. I’m a jay-z fan and not even fond of J.cole. I rap myself and I’m super dope. Your insinuations reveal your blunderful person. And Electronica – egyptology is dead and so is the mind of his fans and himself. Anyway, you cant argue with the facts I present, so make sure you try to stay relevant and find a decent trend to follow because you by yourself is not significant.
You must not have read my comment any because I didnt mention lil wayne or wiz khalifa. You made false accusations and are certainly looking for some acknowledgement from somebody. Anyway, my statements outweigh your weak opinions.
Lol at @Kill….. I tried
this shit is fire. fuck every body.
Good ole Ross Radar always giving fair and balanced opinions on hip-hop. Go big Meek Mill and Drake new bullshit
fuck how you feel about the song. Just post the music!
Aye this track hard. I don’t care what nobody say, it’s different, it’s original, he ain’t imitating no body or trying to hard he just being K. Dot naw mean
I didn’t know who Gunplay was but after this I would like to hear more from dude
nig goes in
@advercity you are too slow to understand this song. Catch word is it’s ironic. The storyline is when he was a kid like all kids we watch cartoons and eat cereal. His mom went and got high told him to go watch cartoons and don’t grow up like her. It’s IRONIC because all he see is wild e coyotes because he’s high. In the same situation his mom was steering him away from. He talks about his feelings and everything. With the elmer fudd chant in the background. This track is dope. You don’t realize how much music these artist put out. Every track can’t be the same subject matter as section 80. Before you ridicule something analyze it. K.dot and big Krit is balancing hiphop respectfully.
I have a great ear for music and it’s not prejudice. I look for great music and didnt get the message in this song. Blatent and upfront music takes more skill to create. Example, not many people understand Lupe Fiasco’s lyrics – thats shows a weakness in Lupe and not a strength. Easier to understand and still creative and appealing is sign of greatness. In sports my motto was, “good players make great plays”. I just didnt get the song, and I did try to; if it was morepractical, it would help the listener. His loyal fan advocate him and maybe thats who he writes for.
And no I’m not a thug or none of that but I did came from the hood and moved out. I’m 23 I’m in the air force and in 1st year of medical school. Jay-z and all them brought so much hate and greed into hip hop it’s a shame. money this, money that, sell this drug, that drug, what do jay-z talk about that don’t contradict himself… murder to excellence is the biggest contradiction on wtt. Though that song represent black pride it provokes racism and a greed for money to be this new black elite. BS in my ears.
Wawawa. The intro is too long. Wawawa. Sorry for all of you who need instant gratification. Go listen to “pop rap” if you wanna hear a song that instantly pleases you. Fuckin weenies.
