For an artist who won five Grammy’s in one night, it's no surprise that Kendrick Lamar received the most votes from the #A3C community. In 2010, Kendrick Lamar began attracting many eyes in the industry after the release of his project titled 'Overly Underrated', which did well enough to earn him a spot on Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. This same project is also what got Kendrick on the XXL Freshman cover in 2011, as well as a meeting with the one and only Dr. Dre. On top of being considered “the most conscious,” Kendrick was also given the title of “New King of the West Coast,” by Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg. Most recently, Kendrick Lamar has received many accolades from his renowned album, 'To Pimp A Butterfly'. As a result of being a great conscious artist, there has been much controversy in regards to Kendrick, as well as his album. To Pimp A Butterfly talks a great deal about what it means to be an African-American growing up in the system of America, as well as its cons. However, this approach has been seen by organizations such as Fox News as sending the “wrong message” to the youth, and “inciting violence.” Others argue that songs on the album such as “Alright,” “King Kunta,” and “I,” were made for the sole purpose of fighting self-hate, low self-esteem, and police brutality within the Black community. Despite the many opinions of Compton rapper, Kendrick Lamar, at least we can all agree that he is still the most conscious of them all. ![Tyler Mason](https://blog.a3cfestival.com/hubfs/IMG_2817.jpg) ### Written by [Tyler Mason](https://blog.a3cfestival.com/list/author/tyler-mason) T.
