Kendrick Lamar

The next rapper I'm going to talk about is Kendrick Lamar. He has made a large impact on Hip-Hop. He is a somewhat newer artist. In 2012-2013, Kendrick was ranked number on MTV's "Hottest MC of the Game" list. One of Kendrick’s biggest hits is the song "Swimming Pools (Drank)" Some of his other songs are "Ignorance is Bliss," "HiiiPower," "A.D.H.D." "Opposites Attract," "Hol' Up," "The Recipe," "Keisha's Song," "Backstreet Freestyle" and "m.A.Ad city." His most popular album is "Good Kid, M.A.A.d City." Some of his other albums are "Section.80," "Overly Dedicated," "Thoughts & Actions," and "Kendrick Lamar EP." My personally favorite album by him is "Section.80" and my favorite song by him is "A.D.H.D." Kendrick got signed to Top Dawg Entertainment after he released his first mixtape called "Youngest Head Ni**a in Charge." When he got signed to Top Dawg Entertainment he released two mixtapes called "Training Day," and "C4." He then got signed with Dr. Dre's label Aftermath Entertainment and Interscope Records. When he, Big Sean, and Jay Electronica release their song "Control," Kendrick's verse got a lot of attention. He called out a lot of the rappers that are popular today like J. Cole, Big K.R.I.T. Wale, Pusha T. Meek Mill, A$AP Rocky, Drake, Big Sean, Jay Electron, Tyler the Creator, and Mac Miller. I personally don't think he was trying to have beefs with anyone, I think he was just trying to have a competition, and have rappers stop putting out songs that aren't as good as they could be just to have a hits. Meek Mill had responded to his Kendrick’s verse and put out the song "Ooh Kill Em." Their beef was just recently dropped.
