It's really difficult to say Kendrick is overhyped.
GKMC is the last album everyone from the streets to the critics to even the whites knew it was an instant classic. It's like a timeliness diverged after that because everyone's been divided on every album after. Rap community treated it like a tragedy when he didn't win the Grammy for it.
I can say that he dropped the last universally accepted classic.
TPAB won a fukking pulitzer.
The only way Kendrick is overhyped is if you have him as the greatest hip hop artist by a country mile. And even then it's pretty easy to see why he has a top 5 case when he retires

So…you want people to just NOT post in the thread? A thread on a HIP HOP forum about a HIP HOP artist returning from a half decade absence releasing a HIP HOP album and you expected minimal excitement?
Which is still crazy to me, like I literally don’t get it lol..
Kendrick is the only rapper to win a Pulitzer..period, above all of these other legendary rappers and classic rap albums that have defined and shaped the genre, and instead of giving it to TPAB, they give it to the only Kendrick Lamar album that you can say sounds generic, I’m not saying it’s a bad album, but it’s easily his worst imo, and Is the only one of his albums that sounds like just a collection of songs and singles rather than a carefully crafted album like his rest
Not Section 80.
not GKMC
not TPAB
but you give the Pulitzer to DAMN

I don’t think an album with DNA, XXX, Fear, and Duckworth could be called “generic” at ALL but I do agree I was surprised that TPAB didn’t get that Pulitzer as its head and shoulders the more “profound” album of his from a writing perspective.
I edited my original post to expand on it a little bit, but I meant it’s more generic compared to his other projects in the sense that it doesn’t feel expertly crafted like his others, I’m not saying it doesn’t have some great tracks on it because it obviously does like the ones you listed
I get the whole play it backwards concept, but it’s nothing special
