He was a moderately successful rapper beforehand. He only blew up because he started hating on Drake. Like I said, 90% of the conversation about last night's show is not "man, what a great message Kendrick had" or "man, what an amazing performance". Instead, it is "Kendrick said something mean about Drake AGAIN LOOOOOOOLLLLLL"

Oh, please. First, I'm instantly skeptical of anyone who refers to "rap" as a genre. Second, it's not hard to understand his lyrics -- no more than any other hip-hop artist. Even I can do it and I don't even try that hard because I find the songs boring.

I'm very far from a Lamar fan. I mean, he's OK, but I do not like the minimalist approach to backing instrumentation (note: I have not listened to all his albums; I've not liked what I've heard and generally that doesn't make me want to dive in further). So I'm no stan. I'm just skeptical about your claim because it seems like bullshit to me.

Did you watch the halftime show? I know the words to his songs, but couldn’t decipher them last night. Rap is just not as good live. Also, perhaps a sound check. It’s no so much that I thought he was mumbling, you just couldn’t hear him.

I didn't watch it live because I haven't done that for 20 years. I watched it on youtube just now. No trouble, and I don't know the songs.

There seems to be a consensus that the sound mix was off. I could largely understand him, but it wasn't terribly clear.

I had no idea that apathy was a synonym for preening.

Yes, expressing your apathy towards young men who may benefit from the opportunity to play flag football, while expressing your support for the same opportunity for young women is most definitely preening.

I expressed support for the young women?

Aren't all hip-hop feuds basically just pro wrestling? They are manufactured in order to gain attention and thus sell records.

I don't know any Drake songs, or if I do, I don't know that they are Drake. I very much doubt I would like it.

What I've heard from Kendrick Lamar lacks propulsion. There's nothing driving the song forward. Maybe that's just old man me talking; the hip-hop I listen to, like Public Enemy and Eric B and Rakim, is not where hip-hop is today. And I've never been a huge fan of the genre. Still, Not Like Us sounds like it could be recorded on Casio. There's just no sophistication there. Whatever you want to say about Eminem, there's complexity in the production. The instrumentation is not static. The beats are more than a snare on the 4.

There was nothing fake with Eazy and Dre's feud.

I would have Jay-Z and Eminem 1a and 1b depending on the day.

I wouldn't put Snoop in the top 20.
