Why is Kendrick Lamar being praised so much for saying something so stupid? King of New York...dude, most people don't even know who you are. Jay-Z is a black Sinatra. Kendrick Lamar isn't even the king of the high school he went to in Compton--same place Dre went. But here we are, "HEY EVERYONE LOOK AT HOW AWESOME THE DUMB SHIT THIS DUDE JUST SAID IS!!!" And he called out a bunch of other flavor of the month dudes...big deal. Eminem has spit out better verses about his neighbors grandma while he was sleep talking.

Here's the list BTW http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/50-greatest-live-acts-right-now-20130731

They also put a terrorist on their cover...... But JayZ may be great live. Not saying that all are horrible, but by percentage they seem to stink it up more live than regular acts do.

I understand your point, but this list is the biggest piece of garbage since the last garbage list that Rolling Stone came up with.
