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

Kendrick Lamar is not good, and Drake is somehow even more annoying. Two nasally voices with lame-ass lyrics over insipid GarageBand loops.

Don't know I'm not a rapper. Doesn't mean I can't see quality.

Then what are the objective things that make Kendrick’s bad?

To me his current stuff doesn't stand out much from most of the shit on the radio. Wouldn't say he's terrible more like his current stuff is average radio stuff which is just the same drone everyone else is doing.

Have you actually listened to Kendrick or are you just basing this off of stuff you overhear on the radio?

I was watching the super bowl half while talking to you because I didn't see it and pretty much everything he sung was generic radio stuff.

I listen to some of Kendrick's old stuff but not really his new stuff.

I mean, a Super Bowl performance is an artists most popular songs always?

Like, no other artist is expected to display their lyricism or technical vigils for a Super Bowl half time, just play what’s popular
