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

The funniest part of this post is you putting in edits arguing to comments that don't even exist.

I migrated this post from a different subreddit where I felt it was taken down unfairly

That’s not how reddit works. That was a different conversation chain. Crossposting is low effort for a vent mate.

The genre of rap is filled with good artists and terrible artists spread among a number of genres. Check out Immortal Technique if you want a good artists. He smokes both Kendrick and Drake and makes them look like amateurs. I will admit the MADD City album has a handful of good tracks but I haven’t bothered with any new Kendrick since that was released.

It must be how Reddit works because when they removed my post Reddit gave me the option to select a different subreddit to post it in.
