I'm 30 and personally think that he is great as fukk, he made me forget about Pac and Nas tbh.
There isn't any team, he makes great music, he released one of the beat albums in years (also the most structured, complete and complex albums of these last years), he is on every "best albums" list (xxl, rollingstone, etc), it's just that people love him.
great artists are always praised, this is not different for Kendrick Lamar, he captured a moment in time and he is eatin, it's as simple as that.
Be great and you'll be loved.
