Pre-TPAB Kendrick > Post-TPAB Kendrick
Back in the day, he was just Kendrick Lamar, A.K.A. Benz-Is-To-Me-Just-A-Car.
Changed to fit his fanbase
First time I ever heard him, he was so cool.

if he stayed in this lane he woulda just been a regional LA rapper nobody cared about lol
Exactly this. Legendary artists have to evolve & adapt, every single one of them go through it
Young Michael in Jackson 5 --> King of Pop
2011 R&B Weeknd --> Mega Popstar
Beyonce in Destiny's Child --> Queen B
etc.
You sir took the words out my mouth these thoughts were stirring in my head , Kendrick sold out for the chance to be #1 lol how pathetic getting buncha pop features to appeal to mainstream crowd
The white guilt s*** just compound interest
This song wouldnt even be that out of place on most his albums stylistically. It only lacks the polish of modern Kendrick

I think he would have actually been bigger if he made like GNX Type albums in the 2010's and kept the same high level of rapping and throw in a big song here and there like how Lady Gaga was supposed to be on GKMC
He woulda been like the west coast equivalent to Cole and Ye/modernized post late 2000's Kanye equivalent to Pac

Essentially IMO that version of him is more digestible to casual/normal rap fan as opposed to now niggas being like Kendrick don't have many "slaps" which is kinda true
Kendrick and Cole kind of the only rappers at their level to not have a certain amount of foundational anthems/hits

being more digestible doesn't always lead to more popularity tho
