Glad he choose himself
not just about himself though? it's present all over the album in so many forms that affect so many people...anyways we've all only listened through it once so lets take some time before making any definitive conclusions
its amazing how kendrick can drop this album over a decade into his incredibly public career and reveal not only so much of himself but the very fact that there was so much of himself hidden from us all this time, as we still felt like we "knew him"
listen to this album if you feel anything. raw thoughts.
5th listen
Die Hard, Father Time, Purple Hearts, Auntie Diaries, Mother I Sober are clear standouts right now
I thought We Cry Together was genius as well
Rest needs to grow on me because it's not clicking
Kendrick Lamar is the greatest rapper of all time
I can feel that you dont believe this anymore
The deadnaming.
Misgendering.
Saying slurs that aren't his.
It is crazy how y'all are defending this on the basis of intentions tho.
Genuinely crazy.
the whole concept of the song is "the basis of intentions" though. words can be loaded but not everything is malicious that's the point.
i'm queer and don't identify as my birth gender either. i felt exalted by the raw honesty in which kendrick explained his growth and how he experienced and viewed bigotry during his childhood.
the truth isn't pretty, but it's the truth. and it certainly isn't malicious. it's the first step in recognising where to fix said faults.
Im f***ing crying
this the new avengers
This might be better than damn idk tho not better than gkmc.
Genuinely do not believe some of y’all paid any attention to this album
niggas haven't been digesting music for a while now
Album was easily a 10 and left me feeling inspired, courageous, and ready to take action against black trauma.
We are still feeling the psychological effects of slavery and I love how Kendrick mentioned this because society overlooks it.

great observation
@DonutHole you should know by now ion really care like that, I just be on here lol
How the hell could they speak on replay value if they haven’t replayed it
