IdeekayI actually think The Heart Pt. 5 ties in nicely with the album. A lot of this album is about perspective and the fact that people are different and come from different backgrounds, upbringings, live through different things and that may be the reason why they do different often f***ed up s*** in their lives later on
on Auntie Diaries he talks homophobia, transphobia and racism and how it ties with ignorance (we ain't knew any better)
on Father Time, he talks how his relationship with his father shaped him
he mentions R. Kelly being molested and wonders how his life would go if not for the traumatic childhood
on Mother I Sober he talks about trauma and how it can emerge later in life
We Cry Together shows how men and women often can't see eye to eye yet still can't live without each other, it calls for having more proper conversations about our differences so we can understand each other more instead of calling names and throwing tantrums (stop tap dancing around the conversation)
I see this album as filled with empathy and vulnerable, Kendrick being provocative and controversial but self-aware, acknowledging his wrongdoings and trying to make sense of it all, find where it all stems from and maybe kind of urging us to do the same.
thats the thing tho. everyone knows this and isnt tryna hear it. atleast in a preachy way

dshidoesitAnyone else feel like this album is Kendrick desperately trying to separate himself from the music industry or something?
Sounds like hes distancing himself from everyone but his close circle.
not even TDE promoting the album

I donāt see why itās bad like actors read off scripts and voice actors? This just feeds the play theme of the album

Tpab was seen as an instant classic. Later on it got more criticism for having less replay value than GKMC
This reception on ktt at least is more like 808s or Yeezus. Very differing opinions

Kendrick & Beyonce also mastered the element of being pro-black in music for acclaim/points but never daring to actually sit down in an interview, panel discussion, or open conversation to speak candidly on their views because they know theyād f*** up and say some questionable s***
I mean yeah
They are just artists, not political scientists or socioeconomic experts

s*** was different back then in music discussion tbh. i feel like people actually sat with it and appreciated it instead of trying to get the fastest reaction they could

Itās not trash at all, I just donāt want to listen to many of these songs repeatedly, even though I appreciate them for what they are. Some are absolute bangers though like Count Me Out

We rather hear the music talk anyway.
People expect them to be the Angela Davis & Huey P Newton for some reason and thatās f***ing weird.
