    Kendrick Lamar is easily one of the most creative rappers alive. He can spawn many genres.

    This has been done before. From Jazz to Reggae to Pop.

    Since the 90's, music has lost the ability to offer time changes and weird key signatures. It is no longer inventive. It is formulaic.

    Motorhead - Ace of Spades

    Motorhead - Ace of Spades (1980)



    "Ace Of Spades"

    If you like to gamble, I tell you I'm your man,
    You win some, lose some, it's all the same to me,
    The pleasure is to play, makes no difference what you say,
    I don't share your greed, the only card I need is
    The Ace Of Spades

    Playing for the high one, dancing with the devil,
    Going with the flow, it's all a game to me,
    Seven or Eleven, snake eyes watching you,
    Double up or quit, double stake or split,
    The Ace Of Spades

    You know I'm born to lose, and gambling's for fools,
    But that's the way I like it baby,
    I don't wanna live forever,
    And don't forget the joker!

    Pushing up the ante, I know you got to see me,
    Read 'em and weep, the dead man's hand again,
    I see it in your eyes, take one look and die,
    The only thing you see, you know it's gonna be,
    The Ace Of Spades

    Before Lemmy died, he spent the last 15 years of his life in a dive bar in LA playing digital poker and drinking cheap beer, all by himself. I love Lemmy and the footprints he left behind.

    This particular video is at least 15 years old. I have posted this Byrne/Eno song before. It is classic.

    Talking Heads - Take Me To The River

    Talking Heads - Take Me To The River (1978)



    "Take Me To The River"

    I don't know why I love her like I do
    All the changes you put me through
    Take my money, my cigarettes
    I haven't seen the worst of it yet

    I wanna know, can you tell me
    Am I in love to stay?

    Take me to the river, drop me in the water
    Take me to the river, dip me in the water
    Washing me down, washing me down

    I don't know why you treat me so bad
    Think of all the things that we could have had
    Love is a notion that I can't forget
    My sweet sixteen I would never regret

    I wanna know, can you tell me?
    Am I in love to stay?

    Take me to the river, drop me in the water
    Push me in the river, dip me in the water
    Washing me down, washing me

    Hug me, squeeze me, love me, tease me
    'Til I can't, 'til I can't, I can't take no more

    Dip me in the water, drop me in the river
    Push me in the water, drop me in the river
    Washing me down, washing me down

    I don't know why I love her like I do
    All the trouble you put me through
    Sixteen candles there on my wall
    And here am I, the biggest fool of them all

    I wanna know, can you tell me?
    Am I in love to stay?

    Take me to the river, drop me in the water
    Dip me in the river, drop me in the water
    Washing me down, washing me down
    Ooh, a-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya

    Ooh, a na na na
    A na na na na, ah!
    A na na na, hoo!
    A na na na, ooh!
    A na na na na, hoo!
    Ha! Na na na na, ah!
    Na na na na na
    Na na na na

    Dire Straits - Skateaway

    Dire Straits - Skateaway (1980)



    "Skateaway"

    I seen a girl on a one-way corridor
    Stealing down a wrong-way street
    For all the world like an urban toreador
    She had wheels on, on her feet
    Well, the cars do the usual dances
    Same old cruise and the kerbside crawl
    But the rollergirl, she's taking chances
    They just love to see her take them all

    No fears alone at night
    She's sailing through the crowd
    In her ears, the phones are tight
    And the music's playing loud

    Hallelujah, here she comes
    Queen rollerball
    And Enchanté, what can I say?
    Don't care at all
    You know, she used to have to wait around
    She used to be the lonely one
    But now that she can skate around town
    She's the only one

    No fears alone at night
    She's sailing through the crowd
    In her ears, the phones are tight
    And the music's playing loud

    She gets rock and roll and a rock and roll station
    And a rock and roll dream
    She's making movies on location
    She don't know what it means
    And the music make her want to be the story
    And the story was whatever was the song, what it was
    Rollergirl, don't worry
    D.J. play the movies all night long, all night long

    She tortures taxi drivers just for fun
    She like to read their lips
    Says, "Toro, toro, taxi, see you tomorrow, my son"
    I swear she let a big truck grease her hip
    She got her own world in the city
    You can't intrude on her, no, no, no
    She got her own world in the city
    Because the city's been so rude to her

    No fears alone at night
    She's sailing through the crowd
    In her ears, the phones are tight
    And the music's playing loud

    She gets rock and roll and a rock and roll station
    And a rock and roll dream
    She's making movies on location
    She don't know what it means
    But the music make her want to be the story
    And the story was whatever was the song, what it was
    Rollergirl, don't worry
    D.J. play the movies all night long, all night long

    Come slipping and sliding
    Yeah, life's a roller ball
    Slipping and a-sliding
    Skateaway, that's all
    Skateaway
    Shala, shalay, hey hey, skateaway
    Now shala, shalay, hey hey, skateaway
    She's singing, "Shala, shalay, hey hey"
    Skateaway
    Shala, shalay
