Hello, it has come to my attention that there is an issue in the number of children listed in Kendrick Lamar's bio. With recent events come to light, I believe it is only correct and fair to increase the number of children in the bio to 3 instead of 2.

Thank you! KujaShado (talk) 04:21, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Mr. Morale and the big steppers is not a double album
In the biography section, it's written that Mr. Morale is a double album. It isn't. It possess neither the length of a double album, nor is it printed across 2 CDs to my knowledge. This should be corrected 2A01:CB05:512:3800:9C29:632D:FCEC:3E43 (talk) 06:48, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

AAVE racism or something?
Wikipedia's changed so much I have no idea if the page is protected due to the beef or if the edit button is just that hidden now, if someone would make this change for me I'd be grateful.

The Kendrick Lamar article cites a quote from him that opens with "It done", and someone added "(sic)" after that like AAVE isn't just a variation of the English language. The sic should obvious be removed, if someone disagrees with that, I'd refer them to the wiki page on AAVE, this is equivalent to sic-ing a UK English speaker writing labour or paralyse that way.

"has influenced a rise in social conscience within his generation" is too self-promotional, or needs a citation
"His inclusion of social commentary and political criticism in his songwriting has influenced a rise in social conscience within his generation."

This seems like an exaggerated claim. 1. Has there been a rise in social conscience within his generation? 2. Did Lamar actually influence that rise or was it just coincidental? It would probably be better to avoid the promotional tone and just say "His songwriting includes extensive political criticism and social commentary." 2600:1700:A270:5EA0:0:0:0:27 (talk) 00:16, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
