So u know how every one of his albums is supposed to be set up like a different form of media?

The answer was in our faces this whole time, this is a concept album based on mixtapes as a form of media. That’s why it’s intentionally less conceptually based than his past works. It also explains why Kendrick rapped over a couple instrumentals from the 90’s with minimal changes and why the runtime is so short. Everyone was looking for the 2nd album when it was really just another metaphor

you didnt crack it, the redditors did

ah f*** me you just made the whole connection

CReddit where it's due

I’m sick, someone really posted that s*** 6 hours ago f*** me
Edit: we had 2 different reasons for coming to the same conclusion, purely coincidence 🤷🏿‍♂️

Love the album and am aware he likes to create projects through the lens of different mediums, but this is cope

“The concept for the album was that it’s a mixtape”

God I wish everyone wasn’t so -ed

Look at you, listening to Reddit nerds and yourself

When the album has a song called reincarnated and was created in the same vain as his fallen goats last album

This

Punch hinted to the 7 day theory sequel back in April too

So the album is based on…..pac??

U think ur so smart

the album is about retuning to his roots and celebrartting his culture while creating unity wiith the bay and LA which plays off of Euphoria and NLU and the Pop Out and in "lore" it connects to MMBS how its about him cioming off his fame high and seeking therapy from his lost of identity and struuggle which leads to him finding his roots and celebrating his culture in GNX

Also

SHUT THE F*** UP YOU NERD ASS NIGGAS

YALL DONT EVEN KNOW THE SIMPLEST S*** OF HIS SIMPLEST PROJECT SUCH AS WTF A BUICK GNX MEANS TO CA STREET CULTURE LIKE A MERCEDES TO NY - AND THATS JUST THE COVER ETC.

SHUT UP AND GO TO CALIFORNIA

AH S*** I JUST MADE THE CONNECTION

It’s just an album brother

Finally a good one after a couple duds

Guess he got that Nas thing going on, couple hot albums average

This album is the "Us" part of NLU

This sounds like "it's not an album, its a playlist"

which isnt even true they just making s*** up cuz they aint experience nor have any basis in the music 😭😭

he never dropped a dud

that last line was a f***ed up stray

Lmao

yup and his literaal whole point of the beef he's been making that he has an actual culture he's from and he can go back to and hold high

and its also a spit in the face to drakes cosplay ass trying to act like he know what really goes on as an outsider such as the "you know who really bang a set" is mad dangerous, disrespectful and stupid which is why YG got at his ass too with "Weird" and showed up to the Pop Out

Its all about YOUR culture and being HAPPy with YOUR OWN culture that you AINT GOTTA fake to be from ANOTHER that AINT YOU

and the whole album is him using LA and bayarea slanfg and refenerences that are so from the town and talkin mad greazy if you know what he's actually saying

in top of getting multiple CA artists that only CA people will mostly know - again celebrating roots - and listing them off in long as feat lines like a 2pac or e40 album that would have hella niggas literally from they block no one else knew about

to how he switches up from a bayarea style beat and flow to an LA style beat and flow

and the GNX is a very sought after car in CA. in Bayareas side shows, in LAs car shows and our drag racing culture culture combined. AND IT WAS ESPECIALLY SOUGHT AFTER during the 2000s during the HYPHY movement that Kendrick grew up in as a teen and was listening to hella bayarea s*** and visiting literally constantly up until like gkmc

and the nigga has always worked wth hella artists on both sides, and he's the only main nigga in modern times that is trying to bridge the burned bridge of LA n the Bay of when we split in the 2000s

AND its was the whole POINT of the POP OUT was to bring and celebrate the whole states culture and HES THE ONLY NIGGA TODAY THAT COULD HAVE 8 DIFFERENT HOODS FROM TWO DIFFERENT ENDS OF THE STATE ON STAGE WITHOUT ANY VIOLENCE OR BULLSHIT

GNX IS ALL OF THIS FROM EUPHORIA TO THE POP OUT TO ITS RELEASE while coming off of MMBS and him returning home after a few years

ITS REALLY THAT "SIMPLE"

and its also continuing off of Black Panther soundtrack which was really like a beta version of all this year of him getting hella nigga from the LA and the Bay to show out on from Mozzy n RbeXSob to Zacari and Vince etc.

i might have to make a california culture nigga break down thread for you nerd ass niggas b

“Everyone was looking for the 2nd album when it was really just another metaphor”

Man stop

and back to the bay: him along with Problem are the only main LA Rapper niggas modern coming and showing out for the Bay since forever - the only two tryin to do anything about the divide on both sides

i know some of you nerd ass niggas also said "why he biting the bay" when the nigga has collabed with the bay from mistah fab and e40 to droop e, the black panther niggas etc.

and gave big ups to kead da sneak, mac dre, spice 1 etc.

and he been out here multiple times and used t do battle raps out there while riding along with jay rock

the nigga been througho and been showed love n been gave back

all this s*** you nerd internet niggas dont know
