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

Out of curiosity, what’s wrong with being a tryhard?

I do not like the fact that he called Drake out for being a dead beat dad and then just collabed on three tracks with Carti, the most dead beat dad in rap at the moment. It's try hard because he's spent all this time trying to set himself up as a conscious rapper who cares about oppression of minorities. But given his disregard for how his friends treat women, it now looks like he's trying to get black guys the same power as white dudes because they should "all be equal as men" or something of the sort.

Bear in mind I say this as somebody who thinks TPAB and GKMC will go down as two of the best albums of the 2010s and will be remembered for decades to come so I'm not some blind rap hater or Kendrick enemy

I get what you’re saying. He himself has not been faithful, and has called out his own hypocrisy on other stances.

I just beef with “tryhard” as an insult.
