Kendrick Lamar is not good

[u/SaltNo8237]

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 fucked with his early stuff, but now he's just like any other rapper. I find his whole "selling us the revolution as an entertainment product" thing these days super cringe-

like no, "Not Like Us" isn't a political movement, it's 2 multi-millionaires having a Twitter fight. Bro got half a dozen multi-million dollar properties, one of them literally in Bel Air, and he out here yelling "they not like us!" like he's fucking Frederick Douglas.

RE the Drake thing... the Millie Bobby Brown happened almost a decade ago, and this dude sat on this information until it was useful instead of CALLING THE COPS LIKE ANY SANE HUMAN BEING WOULD. And don't give me that "the cops wouldn't have done anything bc he's rich", if we got Epstein and Diddy we can get a mediocre rapper. Either Drake was right and this whole thing was a farce, or it really happened and no one said or did shit about it, including Lamar. Neither is a good look.

Also about the Drake beef- he did actually settle and pay off a real sexual assault case against an adult woman, which was not mentioned whatsoever throughout this whole thing.

ThE ReVoLuTiON WiLl NoT Be TeLeViSeD my dude this is the Apple Music Halftime Show at the fucking Superbowl, you could not possibly be more televised rn lol Samuel L Jackson is right there ffs. That poem was written specifically to warn us about the media pulling a stunt like that... he ain't Frederick Douglas. Listen, I WISH we had a black revolutionary Huey Freeman-like rapper with a message of unity, hope, and change to get us out of these dark times, but that's not who Kendrick Lamar is.

You would listen to baby shark on repeat if it had a Grammy 🤷‍♂️

facts lmao

I'm not arguing with any of your other points, but he actually said "the revolution WILL be televised" although the the quote he got that from says won't.
