Kendrick ain't bad. I thought tpab was a classic when it dropped. Now i won't turn it on. I think he's okay tho. He was good for his time. Even damn was ok. But no he's not a favorite mc. He's too stale. But w/e

i find this strange because pac is to this day shoved down everyone's throat as a GOAT rapper (has been for a few decades) but i don't really hear people make a peep. sounds like an invented argument to criticize a new school talent.
Man stfu. Cacs like you have Eminem on the top of every goat rapper list. A lot of people don't even like PAC. Talking about shoved down are throats get the fukk outta here

Kendikk is actually mediocre at best.

Look, 2Pac is THE golden standard in Hip-Hop and Kenprick comes nowhere close to his level.

I'd rate Tony Yayo and Jim Jones higher than Kendrick.

There are 60 emcees I'd rate higher than him even Drake... and I don't really like Drake.


Tony yayo n Jim Jones? Hahhahahahahaha
Did u read that shyt before u posted it bruh?

opinions are like a$$holes mang. pac’s music was trash after he signed to deathrow. his music appeals to simple ppl. kendrick is the better artist

The problem people have with Kendrick is definitely the way he is covered by the media - in particular, i think, media outlets which historically have never had much time for hip hop before mbdtf "transformed" it into a "legitimate" artistic medium. (I mean, they still don't really respect it which is why they push the narrative of Kendrick as a "writer" rather than a "rapper").

These media outlets aren't merely content to hand him hip hop's crown (which is irritating enough because they don't have any credentials to support their role as hip hop kingmakers) but are constantly trying to elevate him to be some kind of leader of my generation. But I don't, and does anyone, actually know who Kendrick is and what he stands for? What exactly is he leading? The message in his music is obfuscated by meandering lyrics and the vaguely defined tenets on which tpab and damn are built just seem to be a repetition of the sort of views held by any left leaning person. Where is the radical position in his music? Where is the challenge? Oh, you wondered why he can sell so many records...?

He makes good popular music with lyrics that sound like they might be deep or something because they are weird and don't properly make sense (Hov already dealt with his type - just cos you don't understand him, it don't mean he nice, it just means you don't understand all the bullshyt that he writes) and with a political stance that's vague enough that a sizable spectrum of political views can feel validated by it.

I wish the media could just leave it on the "we really like how his music sounds"-level rather than think-piece-projecting him to a platform he is not cut for.

Of course. NY nikkas hate west coast nikkas and vice versa. They think thier the shyt and they are bias like a muthufukka. That's why thier not relevant today
why does this site assume that everyone here is from NY? I've never in my life lived in NY. plus I dont hate KL at all, I just don't think his music is as hot as the media wants us to believe

if he was from atl the unprecedented hate here would be way less:yeshrug:

I think West Coast rappers are still fighting for respect like they were at the source awards :francis:

No one in the real word hates Kendrick but here I think it’s just that he studied the game, mastered it then got put on a pedestal that u guys think is undeserving of a nikka from the west:hubie:

Discuss
Nobody here listens to kendric

I think I put the city onto kendrick forreal

I been a fan since overly dedicated

We love the west infact most people in my city don't fukk with the east

Too short raised us nwa cube solo Dre solo Snoop etc

That's not it

He's not even the best from the west and the west got a inferiority complex. Nobody cares to hate on y'all cuz of where u are wtf.

Midwest/East Coast/Tx (Now in Canada)
Nobody cares enough about Cali to be biased against it.
Kendrick Lamar doesn't have a dynamic enough personality to hate or love, he's JUST LIKEABLE...contrived? Yup. Sounds like Elzhi 3stacks with a bunch of "this can apply to anybody" Everyman rapper stories. Music good for the most part, but we can tell this man was a plant.

They hate him cause too many people love him, cause he's the best.
Check the history, the biggest dude always has a gang of dedicated haters.

If Kendrick was RTJ-levels, appreciated only by a small gang of dudes then these fools would probably dikkride him too. Now they are dikkriding, but from the other side.
