Kendrick Lamar is widely regarded as one of the greatest rappers of his generation.
Kendrick’s lyrics are filled with social commentary, introspection, and layered meanings.
Unlike his concept-heavy albums good kid, m.A.A.d city and To Pimp a Butterfly, DAMN. took a fragmented storytelling approach.
He seamlessly blends jazz, funk, boom-bap, and trap across different albums.
The first rapper to win a Pulitzer Prize for DAMN., proving hip-hop’s artistic and literary value.
Unlike many mainstream rappers, Kendrick uses his platform to discuss racial injustice, self-identity, and social struggles (Alright, The Blacker the Berry).
His verse on Control called out the entire rap industry, challenging them to step up their lyricism.
While other rappers rely on trends, Kendrick focuses on longevity and cultural impact.
