As caught by Kurrco on Twitter, the commentator argued folks are starting to experience “list fatigue” with the Compton lyricist. He did give K.Dot his flowers, but he thinks he shouldn’t be getting so many of them in unfitting categories.

“I’m sick of these f***ing lists, bro,” Ak remarked. “Every list these days, you have to put a troll on the list… How the f**k did we go from James Brown to Kendrick Lamar? Stop the f***ery… Y’all got to stop sucking off Kendrick Lamar… Any list they name, they gon’ put the n***a on… People like what he represents. But Jesus Christ. Didn’t we already give the n***a, like, 15 Grammys? ‘Not Like Us’? Can’t we give it a break with over-rewarding this n***a for every single thing he does? He opens his mouth, he gets a Grammy.”

“I do think he belongs on certain list,” he conceded. “A greatest MCs list? He’s probably at the top of that b***h… The d**k-riding got to stop… I wonder if he has the mindset to say, ‘Y’all are making me not seem like a serious candidate because y’all keep trying to give me every award.'”

As DJ Akademiks noted, Kendrick Lamar is a Grammys darling. He has the most Grammys out of any rapper at press time with 27 wins from 66 nominations. This year, he won multiple awards for the GNX album and his circa-2025 features.

Kendrick’s definitely been dominant, especially in the past few years. But hopefully praise for him translates into motivation to work that much harder for his next moves rather than complacency.

As for DJ Akademiks’ Kendrick Lamar criticisms, they are unsurprising given his Drake fandom. But that opinion doesn’t automatically negate anything he might have to say to a Kendrick fan. Maybe some would agree with this assessment, or don’t care about accolades in the first place.
