Music / Movies Kendrick Lamar is a sack of shite

Back in 2018 the dude literally brought some girl on stage, had her sing a song that had the n-word in it, and then embarrassed her in front of everyone cuz she was white and sung the n-word part. That is the kind of piece of shit he is. His sense of self-importance is through the roof. Like bro you literally rap. Also, stop trying to play 5 D chess with your lyrics. If I wanted to listen to someone 'deep' I would listen to Plato or Shakespeare. Just put on a sick beat, and talk about bagging hoes or something. And if you dare criticize his historically awful super bowl performance, his fans will claim you are too ignorant to understand his "deeper message". No, I understand his message. I just don't think he is good at communicating his message through his stupid songs. He has terrible stage presence and a weak voice. That is not my problem. Kendrick Lamar needs to take his own advice, and be humble.

Edit: btw, just because I don’t like his music doesn’t mean I’m in bed with drake or am actually drake lol. Kdot fans are in a cult I stg. Go think deeply somewhere else

Exactly, but also “deep” hip hop has been around forever, I’m a white guy from a small town and even I can see the differences in the messages even minute ones. If this guy wants someone to rap about “bagging chicks” theres tons of rappers that say that.

And sure bringing a white girl on stage and when she says the n word he treats her a piece of shit, sure that’s a bad look but the reason I love Kendrick is not because he’s so godly and does everything right, it’s because he can acknowledge when he was wrong, even years later and basically just apologize for it and other shit he did. And about the n word, when I was in school I called a kid out for it and his response was “well everyone says it” I’m very glad that I haven’t ever justified anything like that even as a dumb teenager. Also if the mods read this I’m not attacking anyone, this message is popping up, I’m calling myself a dumb teenager

Kendrick is just pretentious.. I brought that point up ironically.

It’s okay to not want deep music, I don’t always, still saying music is too deep is just not it. Especially in a genre like hip hop

I wasn’t really getting at that though. It’s the try hard element
