Kendrick Lamar has like 2 good songs and nobody actually likes him. They just think they should like him because he has psuedo-philosophical ramblings and 'clever' word play. Rakim was amazing at that shit, but most people in his wake just talk a bunch of shit that is supposed to mean more than it does.

Kendrick Lamar's last album was annointed "album of the year" before it even came out. His "critical acclaim" is really just a bunch of hipster group-think. Not sure what Kendrick's shit is but it isn't rap or hip-hop in the classical sense. In my mind he's just the same quasi-trap music bullshit that is so prevalent right now with some "conscious" lyrics. 20 years from now, people won't revere Kendrick Lamar the way we hold up Tribe Called Quest or Wu Tang. Kendrick is good by comparison to the rest of the bullshit that is currently being peddled as rap music.

This is like the rap equivalent of Lebron wouldn’t be able to hang in the Jordan era. Music evolves like everything else. I agree that a lot of the bullshit out there these days is garbage..... I’m sure their was a lot of shitty music back then too. Difference is it is way easier for people to make albums now so numbers game wise of course there will be more shitty stuff
Kendrick is good. DAMN is one of the only really good albums that has come out recently. It is stupid that it got anointed amazing before it even came out. Pre season rankings are bullshit as always but I think he followed through pretty well on this one.

You lost me comparing it to old shit, but it was already "album of the year" before it came out.
The problem with Kendrick is that his dumb fans think he's so clever and conscious that most of his songs suck at the expense of having substance.

But I'm a less is more guy.
Versace! Versace! Versace!
Bit I'll take 90's era west coast rap and anything that sounds like it (e.g. Schoolboy Q) before this Migos/Quavo/Lil Uzi Vert bullshit.
