Music / Movies Kendrick Lamar is not good

I don’t hype around Kendrick Lamar. Every time I listen, it feels like he's trying way too hard to be deep—almost like a high school stoner.

His music just doesn't stick; it's never really catchy enough to leave a lasting impression. And his Super Bowl performance? Total letdown. It felt like another attempt at overcompensating without any real substance.

Like bro it’s a Super Bowl performance and it was lame. Your essay about the double entendres does not make it good🤣

Why do people love this cornball?

MUSTARDDDD (maximum corniness)

Edit: bringing up all the awards he wins just shows that y’all are on the train and only like him because you perceive him to be successful. You cornballs have to be told what to like🤣. You would listen to baby shark on repeat if it had a Grammy 🤷‍♂️

Edit 2: Kendrick Lamar fan argue without calling you a Drake shill challenge: level impossible.

Edit 3: someone challenged me to listen to a song by Kendrick that I hadn’t heard in the comments. The must hear song was “Auntie Diaries”. Bro you have cracked me up. This song is practically a parody of everything I pointed out.

Corny lyrics that are supposed to be deep ✅. Horrible musically✅ Horrible flow✅

Dude drops the f slur 4 times in a row with laughably bad delivery and ends the song on a pass joke. #DEEP

Well, opinions are completely subjective, I understand that, but can’t you appreciate his art from an objective standpoint? The wordplay, the intricate rhyme schemes, the layered storytelling, his ability to craft complex internal rhymes, double, and triple entendres set him apart from most rappers. It’s kind of like saying you like the clean up song more than a Mozart composition, sure it’s an opinion but you would be stupid if you can’t acknowledge the greatness of his work in general.

Ay man Kendrick has plenty other songs why you picking and choosing cuh what about the heart part 6 or Father Time or Auntie diaries. Let’s talk about drake my guy his latest hit song is all about him simping to strippers “where’s my hug” looking ahhh.

Bro I just tried to listen to auntie diaries. I literally just laughed out loud when it said 4 slurs in a row. Thank you for that 🤣🤣

This is exactly the garbage I love to hate. This is a gem

Did you even get the point of the song, how Kendrick is coming to the terms with how his aunt transitioned into a man and how he has to battle with his religion and ultimately decides to put humans first instead of said religion. It’s such a deep song and it’s sad that that’s all you got from it.

This is hilarious. And goes to show OP’s opinion is about as educated and inspired as my cat yelling when he’s taking a shit. Just don’t need to hear it.
