Has Kendrick Lamar reached his artistic peak?
And just when we thought we had heard the last stroke of genius from the US rapper, he shocked us with an album release date announcement, May 4, which came and went with nothing to show for it.
He uses famous figures, such as OJ Simpson, who was charged and acquitted for the murder of his estranged ex-wife Nicole Simpson in 1994, Will Smith, who has recently faced backlash over the infamous slap at the Academy Awards including a decade-long ban from the academy, and actor Jussie Smollet who was sentenced to 150 days in jail earlier this year after a jury found he was guilty of lying to the police about being a victim of a hate crime.
But, has the musical genius truly pushed the threshold of his own lyricism and talent or has he become stuck in a formula he himself curated? I can’t help but wonder though, is there any other side to Kendrick Lamar, and if so, what does that look like?
