Kendrick Lamar is the first rapper/human you're not allowed to criticize

Before y'all get on me :ufdup: I've been a legit fan of dude for over half my life.

I had the OG Kendrick Lamar mixtape, OD, and Section 80 on my iTunes when I was 12. I watched the man's career become what it is.


But I gotta say its ridiculous how people view and talk about him. In terms of how he's viewed and acclaimed, he's basically become Taylor Swift for black people. By that I mean, there are very valid criticisms you can make of him as an artist and as a person, just as you can for any man and any artist, but if you say any of it you hating, of you're a opp, or you're a Drake dikkrider, or you're dumb, or... you get it.

shyt is crazy brehs. Even Beyonce doesn't get this kind of protection from folks. You genuinely cannot say anything negative about this man.

Me personally, every artist I like has valid criticisms that can be said about them.

If people wanna bring up Joni Mitchell's blackface cover and say she's a mediocre guitar player :yeshrug: fair


People call Future an immature 40 year old man child :yeshrug: fair


They call J Cole a fake deep nikka :yeshrug: fair


Bob Dylan can't sing for shyt :yeshrug: fair


Kurt Cobain was a weirdo and a drug addict :yeshrug: fair


Chris Brown beat a woman :yeshrug: fair


Kid Cudi is kinda corny :yeshrug: fair

He’s just true to himself

U can’t hate on that

J Cole one minute he wants to be Nas and next minute he want jump onto another wave

Chris Brown wants to be a millionaire blood who never banged in his life and wouldn’t dare drive through the hood throwing up gang signs

Same mental issues u see with these Cacs majority of the time


Kendrick stays to himself and stays in his lane , which is highly respected
