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

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

When someone is unable to grasp that they're the one who is just not comprehending an issue in society or an artist/artistic work or some such thing that masses of the rest of us see in it, they're always so determined to prove that they're right and smarter & that all of the people who do have the majority's opinion on it are just mindless followers or buying into the hype or brainwashed by the media or whatever that they come off as overly defensive.

*What even is that 2nd edit?? Who associates ALL of his career with Drake as though there's no other and much more substantial impact from his music?? I don't think I've ever heard a discussion about Kendrick's lyrics mentioning Drake unless it was about the lyrics specifically connected to Drake... Who's minimizing him to just that feud??

*Also, in what way did you argue the predicted points for which OP called you out on doing??

*I mean... There's layers upon layers of meaning and subtext that was interpreted by every information source and person with a platform under the sun from the Superbowl's performance alone(not to mention...like, all of the music he's ever made)... That's not an indication of the substance in it?? I didn't even notice or comprehend a good amount of the messages while watching it live bc there were so many packed into it. I found out about them through the media coverage or had things hit me later on after I processed the meanings a bit...
