His image is obviously just fine, he had one of popular hip hop albums of the past year.

You guys love his CD...
Now all he needs to do is step out of the "everyday" guy routine and develop some higher level of cool...

Just saw him on MTV's Guy Code wearing a hate so low you couldn't see his face...
Not very smart when people are trying to figure out "Who is Kendrick Lamar?"

I'm going to buy his CD just off the strength of The Coli cosign...
But you guys must agree dude needs to work on his image...

the boys got one of the best selling rap cds of the year. i dont think he got no problems :smugdraper:

Kendrick prolly the only popular mainstream rapper out there letting the actual music speak for itself, yet only on the-coli is this considered an "image problem" :aicmon:

2010 post.

Breh, kendrick got 2 singles in heavy rotation nation wide plus features like fukkin problems. Album guaranteed to scan a million after the next single and he didn't conform to the popular sound.

fukk an image. You got artists who have been image conscious for YEARS haven't had the success kendrick has had in a few months.

Truthfully speaking, image hurts the music more than it helps. That's how artists end up being extremely popular, but the sales and more importantly the quality of music suffers. They have all these followers on Twitter, Youtube views, magazine covers, and media coverage, but the music is sub-par and the sales fall off.

That being said, Kendrick is cool like he is. He dropped one of the better albums of 2012 and it's successful.

His music is for fakkits and weirdos, which ties perfectly in with his image :noah:

tyler and kendrick are the future that includes their images..


its what they want and what they are going to start pushing... and putting $$ behind


the superboss ross/wayne/kanye swag rap is being phased out.. you will start to see a push in the mainstream away from that image..
