Due to no Track of The Day yesterday there will be 2 today. Kendrick Lamar my opinion is the cream of the crop when it comes to elite lyricist in hip hop today. I would dare to say the best to come around in the last 5 years. Obviously he was able perfect his craft 8 years before he was on most radar; but it's more than lyrics. While talented as he is; there are countless examples of brilliant lyricist careers not reaching the financial success that their potential suggested they once would. Kendrick is from Compton a place where 90% of Americans including myself have or will never been, but that doesn't matter Kendrick can intelligently rap about social issues, family problems, good times and ect. He's not a one trick pony, there's some substance to a majority of his music, and if I'm inspiring artist; I pay attention to how Lamar is conducting his business. He's already received numerous amount of commercial success with a Grammy, Platinum albums,and numerous amount of awards. Most noticeably he hasn't lost his core demographic of fans, there isn't the "oh he's all commercial now" BS. If you agree or disagree please let me know know. Enjoy.
