Supported by 4 fans who also own “Kendrick Lamar - Good Kid, m.A.A.d City INSTRUMENTALS” My fav project from 2018. And we had a ton of good music this year.
Said 4 years ago: Kendrick may be overrated and I may be super late, but he definitely deserves his recognition. Franson gpsgate serial. The problem with modern hip-hop is really the fans. They typically don't have adequate info to make accurate judgments upon the artist at hand, listening to only the radio singles and claiming an artist to be the best. Once you explore music, you will have a better understanding of how things work. Kendrick not only have a myriad of unique flows, but his lyricism and ability to abstractly tell a story or make a point may be unrivaled when in comparison with his peers. In being overrated, I see it as the fans who stumble upon him when usually listening to lesser talented artists and straight boosting the guy lol. I mean, if I listen to Waka Flocka religiously, of course ill stumble across Kendrick and think he's god lol.
He's vastly better. Overall, I don't believe in overrated mess as an actual status, but rather a perspective. Depending on who you listen to common, some artists will seemingly be held as better or worse by the general public than what value you hold them to.
