Over the last five years, Kendrick Lamar has represented the only rapper with a real homage to the past. He just sounds like the type of performer who’d be cutting his/her teeth during the early ’90s. Lamar’s lyrics are socially sensitive, sometimes political, and all the while full of meaning. Duly, he’s also arguably the biggest rapper to come out of LA since Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre. Without question, Kendrick Lamar is a rising star within the industry.
