This nigger (Kendrick Lamar) is overrated af. When did this pretentious cunt become the poster boy for modern day hip hop? Jesus fuck, it's cringeworthy to watch. Bunch of liberal faggots who think that anything vague must be deep and thought provoking so they pat each other on the back and pretend they "get" the message.
Nigger isn't even saying anything new. 2pac and many others before him have covered racial issues way better than him. And last I checked, nig-nogs have even more rights today than back in the 90s so all his crying is pointless.
Instead of having good lyrics and flow, he hides behind controversial topics because libcucks can't bring themselves to criticise a pro-black piece of art. Fucking stupid.
TPAB sucks dick. inb4 "listen to it again" fuck you. I listened to it twice, front to back. Shit is trash. There's only 1 song I liked and he copied it from somebody else lel. i guess in the age of the betas, the fuckboy is king
Lol, you have some Drake cum coming out of your mouth...
Hunter Bell
>Kendrick brings Jazz to Hip Hop >Kendrick brings good lyrics to Hip Hop >Kendrick brings actually good music in the midst of an era of genuine shit >overrated lmao fuck off cunt
Bentley Allen
He really is bad though. It's just alot of nonsense. WK-1111TB
I had some stupid kid at my office try to explain how "rap has evolved" and that a rap song isn't just a beat and catchy lyrics that tell a story anymore. Last time I checked, that was exactly the point of rap. All these new assholes like Kendrick, Weekend, and the rest of them can't hold a candle to the golden age 90s rappers.
Pic related. RIP Phife.
Jordan Wood
He does get a lot of credit but I don't think it's unjustified. If you're willing to argue then who's a more genuine rapper in the current time?
Elijah Gutierrez
All rap is for douchebags.
Joshua Jenkins
Which hip hop artist do you like?
Liam Taylor
You're a fool. One of the: I was born in the wrong era individuals.
What did artists talk about in the 90s? Money, gangs, drugs, pussy, and even more violence. Just change a few words, and it is still the same genre.
Even back then there were mainstream rappers with bullshit songs...
Jayden Myers
Hes the best because everyone else is shit.
Alexander Hernandez
hip hop has always been for simple minded people
Camden Martin
If anything rap has devolved. I don't like rap but i am sometimes forced to listen to it. I complained to a friend that all rap is the same generic shoot em up yo yo in so tough gangster garbage" and now they think they can sing with outotune". And he played me some rap from the eighty's or early 90's that was all about trying to get out of the hood and make your life better.
Isaac Flores
Sure. What're you listening to? Shouldn't you be over in the trap/sissy thread with your dick in your hand?
Jason Robinson
I like his music
Gavin Davis
Are you black or white? Do you really think something as trivial as music says much about who's a sissy and who's not?
William Turner
Oldfag here, and I was born in exactly the right era to know what the fuck I'm talking about.
You're not wrong about the message not having changed much, but I don't think you've identified the message. Most of the best stuff, lyrically, comes from either the frustration of young black dudes being raised in a situation of inequality, or from a sense of community and shared experience/hardship. I don't think that's changed much in 20-30 years.
What has changed, for the worse, is the quality of the music. Yeah, matter of taste and whatnot, but I feel like the overall musicianship of the scene was, back in the 90s, levels above the bullshit that's out there today, both in the mainstream and in the niche arenas.

>inb4 bait Kendrick is undoutedly one of the better rappers of our generation, if not the best. His albums talk about real issues, his personal life, gang violence, drugs, politics, and much more. Kendrick brought jazz influences back into the hip-hop scene, and his lyrics have depth on several levels usually. TPaB was not his only good album either. Stay Humble, sit down.
Chase Russell
Considering music taste is simply an opinion, you're really arguing about something that has no actual true point of view.
Like, I can't tell you "apples are shit, they're not even that sweet. Kiwis were just as good 20 years ago"...It's an option, so your argument is equally as invalid.
Some like Kendric's music, you don't. Who gives a shit....
Jayden Rogers
It's all some struggle shit with this hip hop crap hustle and bling. I ain't never heard a nigga rap about 10 years of schooling he did to be a cancer biologist despite his mama selling ass for cans of beans. Whole world struggling. Wait til the Iraqi Syrian kids get into the rap game, nigga struggle gonna look like a joke.
Angel Myers

GOATs...any thoughts?
Numbers don't lie
Thomas Baker
If you go platinum, it's got nothin to do with luck It just means that a million people are stupid as fuck
Eli Diaz
I know it had nothing to do with luck. What's your point?
Liam Cooper
these are lyrics dummy
Oliver Richardson
Exactly
Which is why you should escape your little 'top 3' bubble
Nathan Campbell
So what I get from this post is that you hate liberals and black people but apparently love hip hop.
How retarded are you? What do you even listen to?
Gabriel Thompson
I did not argue for or against their lyrics. If I did please quote it, I'd like to see where your statements come from
Colton Murphy
NIGGER I G G E R
Luis Cruz
kendrick is the most creative rapper since biggie and I'm referring to his flow and beat choices. TPAB was overrated as fuck but maad city was one of the best rap albums this decade
Charles Diaz
Say what you will about his lyrics, but you can't deny he has a damn good ear for picking producers. Thundercat, Flylo, Terrace Martin, Kamasi Washington, and George Clinton.. Damn.
Justin James
Nigga, ever heard of K'naan? Shits been done, b.
Brandon Murphy
>trying to backpedal
Brody Walker
I'm not. However, you can't straw-man and argue over a statement I didn't make
Tyler Miller
When's the young metro ~ Kendrick dropping?
John Bennett

Wyatt Jenkins
Man, you asked for thoughts and you got them, now you don't like them?
I posted lyrics in response to your post. I chose that specific lyric because it illustrates my point - sales do not equal greatness.
