Is Kendrick Lamar the next hip hop megastar?

[Sad Bunny]

He has the sales, the timeless music and hits.

What else does he need to join the ranks of Kanye, Hov, Em, Weezy, Nas and Drake?

no.

No.

No matter how much Interscope, the West Coast, and his backpacking fans hope and pray. Interscope is doing more astroturfing than hoping and praying but the answer is still no.

The dude is nice most of the time. But his hooks/beats aren't commercial enough to be a megastar.

We all know lyrics have nothing to do with it. And if they did that would be another mark against the dude. Has he ever strung more than 2 ideas together? Seems like whatever comes out of his mouth are random rhyming words/phrases.

He's definitely being pushed that way. I think alot of fans maybe disappointed with the direction he will be taking. You can already see little clues to his upcoming 'sellout' status. The late lady gaga collaboration, the awful robin thicke euro electro collaboration. Hate to say it but he looks like the male nicki minaj. His next album will be huge commercially and you can quote that.

 

[Double J]

Dude has no charisma, a shytty voice, and no mic presence so no.

 

[Digga38]

dude just shut down the industry wit a gust verse and yall asking is he a mega star...u nikkas cant be serious...

 

[The_King_of_Everything]

No

 

[Zebruh]

Not yet but I wouldn't be surprised if he eventually attained it.

Jokes aside, his voice is VERY polarizing...might be the most polarizing voice of all these new cats besides Big Sean.

***snorts 5seconds***

He won't let himself get that big, he is just out to make good music, Kendrick is humble as hell,he will have longevity unlike Meek Mill.

 

[CELL]

He sold plat so ye he already is.

[MoeDollaZ$]

[ThaRealness]

& I think Kendrick is smart enough to realize that.
