Kendrick Lamar

I think that Kendrick Lamar is a decent rapper. While he doesn't have the strongest rhyming ability he  is able to work his lyrics in the meter of his songs. I have listened to some of his songs and have hated them, because they sound so monotone and slow. However, others are better and he shows his true abilities. Oddly enough I found the song " Swimming Drank" or whatever to be one of the better ones. While some of the chorus was superficial and sort of glamorizing his lifestyle, the other parts were serious and dealt with alcholism and his struggles with this problem. I would rather listen to someone with stronger beats and rhymes, but Kendrick Lamar is alright. I also think he is promoted more than he should be, but that seems to be the case with most rappers.
