Kendrick Lamar is extremely overhyped, and overrated

I've never been a fan of Kendrick Lamar, I see how he changed the entire hip-hop industry, but I also see that he's stopped doing that a LONG while ago. His newer (the last 10 years) albums sound like... how do I put it lightly... garbage? Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers included. So much hype for nothing special, really. But the amount of popularity every media gives him? It sickens me, and he follows me around everywhere I go,

Yeah, that's the lightest I'd put it. His music doesn't sound cohesive, or good, or creative, it doesn't sound genius or revolutionary. It sounds like whatever modern art (that sells for big bucks) has turned into. Pretentious and fake. And with a cult following. It sounds bad. By all standards. There's disharmony, annoyances, and all kinds of other bad stuff, I feel like there is just no effort put into it. I don't get all the praise, he absolutely deserves the credit for a lot of his influence on modern music, but making that excuse every time his s*** sounds... bad, as if that automatically grants him a 10/10 rating? No, thank you.

Equating him to The Beatles like I've seen some of his headless fans do? Or even Beethoven? No. That's extremely wrong. He's nothing more than a showman, just someone who figured out how to manipulate everyone around him, I could say to you right now that Lil Nas X is the equivalent of Bach, and every his release should be praised now, regardless of the quality, because of how popular he is and how much he influenced culture. You wouldn't agree, would you? Now replace Lil Nas X with Kendrick Lamar, and you SOMEHOW find people agreeing with me.

Kendrick Lamar is mediocre, overrated, overhyped, and also, to add to all of that, a horrible person.

EDIT 2: I wasn't wrong about Kendrick Stans being f***ing insane, stop sending me threats and reporting me for self harm. Y'all really have way too much time and pride on your hands. Go death threat Taylor Swift, you always love to do that don't you?

In general I never understood that. Like as a Weeknd stan why would I wanna do all that s*** just to listen to a unpolished version of Dawn FM just to say I heard it early. And not even as a Kendrick stan but why would I bother to listen to a low quality leak just for the sake of it lol

ok, but the fact that so many books still name the Beatles as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success. The Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worthy of being saved.
