I'm not much of a rap fan anymore because most of the "mainstream" genre these days is vapid, materialistic, shallow, and stupid. Kendrick Lamar actually has a really nice message in this song once you listen to and digest the lyrics, which is that excessive drinking leads to problems for yourself and everyone around you, regardless of glamorous others portray it to be. When is the last time you heard a rap song that actually poked fun at excessive drinking to numb life's pains? I think this guy is great for rap and society in general.
