because they make lowest-common-denominator follower music disguised as high art. Even the masses wanna feel like they listen to quality music among the usual bullshyt. But they still don't want anything that really challenges them intellectually or emotionally. That's where Duckworth and Koonye come in.

Kanye has actual hype behind his stuff though and there genuine interest in the music. It is being overrated.

Based on last night and all the "critically acclaimed reviews" you would think someone actually cared about Kendrick music

Based on the media Kendrick music should be getting the attention Kanye music is getting

Kendrick is legitimately loved though, it's just that his albums lack the pick up and play bounce.

So does FHD.

Kendrick is loved. Absolutely, but you would think he is highly in demand or dictating rap culture which is far from the truth.

Maybe it's because I'm in the south but over never seen rap fans care less about a tier 1 as far as relevance goes rap artist

I kinda disagree...at least with Kendrick.
I think they are elevated more because they are surrounded by so much trash music around them

This. The bar is so low, these nikkas look like godsends. Kendrick, while talented, wouldn't stand out in '94.

Kendrick's music is close to the level of Young Thug's. Let's not kid ourselves here. Take the marketing out of it. Both of these guys make vapid ass music that panders to whatever brand they're about.

How does one become popular without *ahem* being popular? Its an existential mindfukk question.

Lets face it. Y'all miserable coli haters dont have any reasonable criticism to level against Kendrick, so all y'all are left with is moaning over people liking him.

Gunna be funny when y'all miserable ass offspring whine in 15-20 years about not having a current artist who is as skilled, pro-black oriented and relatable as Kendrick is, and who does nothing but churn out classic albums and live performances.

I could see if Kendrick was a self-aggrandizing mess like Kanye, but Kendrick is a cool ass cat, and seems mad humble and normal. Black people hating on him makes no sense, but ya'll like McGyver when it comes to your ability to invent hate in any situation and outta nowhere, and with little resources available to you.
