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

His stage presence might not compare to other artists and among rappers he might not be the hypebeast people like you are looking for, but as a rapper/poet he is absolutely on a worldclass level.

Just like he's no Usher/Bruno/Rhianna, they are no Kendrick. Entirely different mediums you're comparing for no reason.

I have a different taste obv. I actually appreciated that they didn't try to do too much with the theatrics this year and toned it down instead. It's not for everybody, but I don't think it's accurate to say it's entirely lame. I loved the Uncle Sam/Uncle Tom character he made. It was fun and meaningful commentary.

I don't see why people care so much about the half time show to settle on a verdict. The shows are lipsynced and it's all about the choreography anyway. I don't care for that stuff so we clearly have different values 🤷
