Not him, per se, but the realization that I'm part of the same species with people who care about foreign royalty, what some actor was wearing, or a rap feud. Cripes, there's even a separate Wikipedia entry about it, which somehow meets the notability requirement.
It’s a particularly notable rap feud though.
Kendrick Lamar is fucking brilliant. To Pimp a Butterfly and Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City are absolute brilliant albums that examine blackness in America, alcoholism, family dynamics… he’s a god tier lyricist.
And he basically dropped diss after diss on Drake - musically brilliant, while also airing out the fact that Drake is a sexual predator, involved with Diddy parties - like Kendrick was doing some shit akin to exposing an Epstein through music so fucking good and catchy that it took over TikTok and the world.
It’s probably the biggest feud since the West Coast/East Coast rivalry of the 90’s - which ended up with several people dead. Kendrick won with the power of his writing. Like people genuinely are expecting Drake to possibly kill himself, because you can’t beat the fact that every teen in America was singing along to “tryna strike a chord - probably A minor.”
I get being dismissive of pop culture in general, but I would strongly advise anyone who hasn’t listened to Kendrick to have an open mind. The show was also brilliant and layered - he brought out Serena William to crip walk to further own Drake - he had stalked and harassed her for years.
