As someone with very little interest in rap music, why is it I've only heard of Kendrick Lamar so? Is it simply due to him being the most successful of his crew? Because one or two people I'd trust when it comes to music have said To Pimp A Butterfly is revolutionary and that he has pretty much nailed the idea of race relations in the US through the metaphors he uses in his music.

the reason you've heard of him is because , at the moment , he's so far ahead of everyone else in the rap game that it's genuinely weird . TPAB was a masterpiece and his releases/verses since then have seen him move up another step . the scary thing is he only seems to be getting better which is worrying for every other rapper imo

He is the most popular and most heard of from his crew because he has an honesty and conciousness about him and his music appeals to a wider audience. The other members of TDE are more niche:

Jay Rock - Gangster Rap
Ab-Soul - Stoner/Gangster/Life
Schoolboy Q - Stoner/Gangster

These aren't really mainstream types of things they rap about. There is another guy on TDE called Isaiah Rashad who is quite close to Kendrick in his style, he is set for an album soon but I don't think it will reach the acclaim of Lamar.

Also, Kendrick has some large names bhind him that endorse him on radio stations in the USA which helps break music globally.

Announced as the first non-classical and non-jazz musician to win the Pulitzer prize for music.

His rhymes are tight but my god i cant stand his voice.. I have tried to like his music but i just can get around that voice. Probably the worst sounding voice Ive ever heard rap.

Storm in a tea cup. Ironically all the outrage is on the net and from white people For Kendrick framing the girl.
The video is on youtube, look it up for yourselves

Yeah seen that, being blown way out of proportion. It's hard to censor yourself when you get into the flow of regurgitating the song you've heard a billion times.

nah mate i get what ur saying but imo its act fairly easy when u DO know the song so well and the fact its such a point of emphasis, esp at the end of many sentences. not saying she deserves the doubtless hounding shes getting at all at all but theres no way u can say that what she did wasnt flucking stupid in the extreme , considering context and everything

There's a great interview with Schoolboy Q a few years ago where he talks about one of his songs that has a section of lots of N words.
When he's dealing with primarily white crowds, he makes sure that they say every single one of them.

My take is that yer one probably doesn't have a racist bone in her body as she didn't even think of the word or the consequence, she was just flowing with the song.

I'd also add that I was at a Kanye show and during all of the lights and at the line "MJ gone, our nigga dead" the music stopped, he pointed the mic to the crowd, and the 99% white crowd didn't sing the line. He wouldn't continue until we sang it back to him.
