Look, this is a stupid thing to argue about, but I think I’m just objectively more right on this.
Kendrick Lamar is one of the biggest names in hip-hop globally, and hip-hop itself is one of the most popular music genres in Europe. His albums have topped the charts in multiple European countries, he’s headlined major festivals like Glastonbury (UK), Open’er (Poland), Roskilde (Denmark), and Primavera Sound (Spain), and his songs have consistently performed well on streaming platforms across Europe.
Yeah, sure it’s true that not everyone in Europe knows him—just like not everyone in the U.S. knows him— but that’s the exception that proves the rule; he’s still one of the most widely recognized artists. Expecting every European to know him might be a stretch, but claiming that only “some young people” who listen to hip-hop would recognize him understates his mainstream reach.
You’re just trying to be edgy and downplay his influence. And you’re providing no actual argument; just your feelings on the matter. It’s okay to just admit you’re wrong; it might be good for you.
