#1 album doesn't mean it's good, in fact the case is very likely the opposite.
Listen to some Swollen Members or Hilltop Hoods, or Ozomatli, then come talk to me.
Otherwise I'll file Kendrick Whatshisname right next to Whatshername Spears.
Yes, that's disdain in my voice, 'cause opinionated as hell and 'cause flood.
Bong!!!!
have you even listened to the song
Hey Papa...isn't it ironic that it takes an older generation to point out the definition of 'sellout' to a younger one?
Hell, I remember the good 'ol days when even one single week on the top 40 made you a total pariah in the underground
Gather around kids, lemme tell ya a story:
Once upon a time, there was this evil monster named Pop the Weasel...
...actually, you know what? nevermind. There's no point in trying. When these kids have kids & those kids eventually get old enough to rebel against them, those kids will probably understand the point much better
funny thing: rap is actually a really great evolution of music. What makes it suck so bad now is the corruption that happened to it once it became a mass marketable commodity.

have you listened to the song for longer than 10 seconds
this isn't entirely "m-muh mainstream kids bop sellout", it got booted off the top 100 list from it's place at 100 in the first few weeks of it's release
yes, rap music is filled with crappy posers and sellouts like Nicki Minaj and Lil' Wayne, but behind the screen of money, clothes, cars, and women, there are quite a few rappers who are worth listening to.
kendrick lamar, to an extent, is worth listening to. at least this song, anyways
in fact, it's a fairly intricate story on how he struggled with peer pressure and alcohol
