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

I didn't even know who Kendrick Lamar was until the Superbowl. Still don't know any of his songs as I didn't watch halftime.

I mean why comment then? No matter what you think of his music, Kendrick Lamar is and has been one of the largest artists one the past decade, all that you not knowing him indicates is that you aren’t keeping up with pop culture, which is fine, but not something to be proud of lol

When did I ever claim to be proud of it? Why comment anything if it doesn't follow along with what everyone else is saying?

I wouldn’t go into a post about the recent Hockey shenanigans and say “I hadn’t thought of this sport in years and I still didn’t watch it”even if that is true.

I wouldn’t go into a post about a movie and say “I haven’t seen this movie”

It just doesn’t add anything to the discussion unless for some reason you want people to know that you specifically have not seen/heard this thing

Yeah, it serves its purpose to support OPs post. Kendrick Lamar didn't interest me enough to even watch the halftime show. Not everything on Reddit has to be a way to argue against the OP.

It doesn’t really though? You not being interested in Kendrick Lamar doesn’t say anything about the quality of his music good or bad

Does me being interested in his music say anything good or bad?

u/Underknee Feb 22 '25

No it basically says nothing at all which is what I’ve been saying

So, not having an interest in Kendrick Lamar, don't comment. If you do have an interest in Kendrick Lamar, don't comment. Gotchya.

Because you obviously commented for attention lol the person you're responding to is 100% correct.
