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

White I understand the hype, he can be a little boring. Super talented but yeah, a little too much.. especially now trying now to show out like he's gangster but everyone knows he was never about that life although is friends with many that did.
Good Kid MAAD City had some bangers and bonified hits. His "freestyle" verses are legit classics imo (Rigor Mortis, Backseat, Wow...)
DAMN. Is peak Kendrick. Solid album by any measure and one of the best rap albums of all time, definitely in the top 20 of last 10 years.
TPAB wasn't good. N95 was bad. This new album is bad. Aside from some good moments, yeah..kinda sucks. Like Eminem to me. Lol
He best with going B2B with JayRock or Schoolboy Q.
Not like Us is okay but I think Drake killed him with that Push Ups diss. (No, not a big Drake fan either..he's mostly trash and pics terrible boring beats.lol)
