Good Craig got his c'nuppins
Kendrick Lamar is the greatest rapper of all time.
I genuinely think he’d have thrived in any era. He’s an incredible talent and you’re being harsh here, but I agree about that performance being sub-parNah, his superbowl performance showed him up. Very wooden and unnatural compared to true legends of hip hop like Dre and Snoop. He's very good but if he was coming through in the mid 90s nobody would have heard of him by now, he would have been lost amongst all the talent.
What absolute nonsense. He's an incredible lyricist and is never standing still with regards to his music.Nah, his superbowl performance showed him up.

True but its about more than just that, and Snoop was genuinely groundbreaking at the beginning with Dre. He has influenced hip hop culture as much as anybody.Absolutely no chance. Lyrically he is head and shoulders above Snoop. I don't mind Snoop but he's mostly about laid back image. He's not really much of a lyricist.
Every time i listen to his music, and its not just him in the current era, it always feels like its mostly written to sell records and climb the charts. That was never the case with 90s hip hop, and when those guys got famous and started writing for record sales they often fell flat.I genuinely think he’d have thrived in any era.

Very confused by this. So much of his stuff just isn't easily accessible catchy stuff. Did TPAB have a song that even charted apart from Alright? DAMN was probably the one that could be accused of appealing to the masses and even then it was only really Humble and Loyalty (two of his worst imo). His albums have always had one or two that charted but apart from that?True but its about more than just that, and Snoop was genuinely groundbreaking at the beginning with Dre.

I'm happy to shit on the current era as much as the next man, 90s hip hop is unquestionably the best in my mind and I'd happily join you in championing it over and above what followed but if anything Kendrick is the outlier here, it's absolutely why I love his work so much. He has that 90s sensibility and despite his huge success I wouldn't call anything he's done as strictly commercial - swimming pools and the recipe maybe at a pushTrue but its about more than just that, and Snoop was genuinely groundbreaking at the beginning with Dre.

Seems like his main crime is not existing as a rapper in the 90s when he would've been about 13.I'm happy to shit on the current era as much as the next man, 90s hip hop is unquestionably the best in my mind and I'd happily join you in championing it over and above what followed but if anything Kendrick is the outlier here, it's absolutely why I love his work so much.

You've got an odd view of the guy tbh - makes me wonder if you've listened to his stuff with any level of interest
Had to be the worse take on Kendrick I've ever seen.Every time i listen to his music, and its not just him in the current era, it always feels like its mostly written to sell records and climb the charts.

Yep, such a beautiful song.Auntie Diaries is superb.
Yeah I'm with you on that. I am underwhelmed. I understand his appeal and his talent but it doesn't do an awful lot for me. Its why I struggle to have him in my top 15 or so.On first listen, it's just not for me.
I liked some of his work on section 80 and GKMC, but not so much since then.
Really milking this fame thing now isn't heYeah I'm with you on that. I am underwhelmed. I understand his appeal and his talent but it doesn't do an awful lot for me. Its why I struggle to have him in my top 15 or so.
I do like Auntie Dairies though, didn't expect a song like that.
Let's be clear, I'm not saying he's no good. He's probably the best of the modern era. His music doesn't stand up to the greats of the 90s though. Much of it feels like paint by numbers.I'm happy to shit on the current era as much as the next man, 90s hip hop is unquestionably the best in my mind and I'd happily join you in championing it over and above what followed but if anything Kendrick is the outlier here, it's absolutely why I love his work so much.

What's this?hotep bag,
Eh, the simple answer is a hotep is a black supremacist, conspiracy theorist who's closely aligned with conservative values & morals.What's this?
Paint by numbers? It's totally unlike 95% of what's out there at the moment. It couldn't be any LESS paint by numbers.Let's be clear, I'm not saying he's no good.
