What line did he change on Savior?
i think when hes naming people he said Ye(thats what AM said) and the actual lyrics are "Bron"
Was we cry together a recreation of an actual argument between Kendrick and his girl? Or just artistic licence to make a point about relationships?
probably a bit of both
He had writers block and said “fuck it I’ll try DAMN again
CLB is more of your level. An album like this one may be too much for you to digest.

Clearly the latter lol
lol yeah i noticed that too
I feel like I’m Man Ray talking to Patrick about the wallet when I speak on this.
When Kanye got back with Drake... that's called J. Prince. you weren't slightly confused.... but we could make you confused.
So what I’m gathering from this album so it’s ok to say the N word if you are a white trans woman right?
Politically correct is how you keep an opinion
Niggas is tight lipped, f*** who dare to be different
Seen a Christian say the vaccine mark of the beast
Then he caught COVID and prayed to Pfizer for relief
Then I caught COVID and started to question Kyrie
Will I stay organic or hurt in this bed for two weeks? (You really wanna know?)
Do you want peace? (How I get so low?)
Then watch us in the streets (Only one way to go)
One protest for you (High up)
365 for me (You really wanna know?)
Vladimir making nightmares (How I get so low?)
But that's how we all think (Only one way to go)
The collective conscious (High up)
Calamities on repeat, huh
the pfizer bar is so goated you trippin
evangelical christians lost

Whats so bad about that?
my auntie is a man now
nigga got that movie soundtrack ass instrumental saying this 😭😭😭
I know that this is a hurtful word, but do you think context doesn't matter here? Like Kendrick is aware of him being a hypocrite, saying the F-word but not allowing the white girl saying the N-word during the concert. The message maybe would've remained the same but I don't know if it would show this hypocrisy he's talking about as well - that's why he repeats the word so many times.
All in all, the message is very pro-LGBTQ+IA and urging people to understand and love others, putting love even over religion, which is a big thing considering how Christianity and faith is huge for Kendrick.
Don't @ me on this unless you are trans or a member of the LGBTQ+IA community
This is coming from a straight man with loved ones and friends in the community
listened only one time high as hell
the production alone is a 10/10
i need to a***yze the lyrics though

U didnt get it all
This gonna end up very high on his discography list.
I didn’t think he could get more personal than GKMC but here we are.
lol, right
GKMC is him telling his story but in a very structured way that repeats the tropes of adolescence in the hood (it is "a short film by Kendrick Lamar"), which isn't to take away from the personal nature of the narrative but just to say that the new album is something a lot rawer in the sense of not being as easy to slot into pre-existing molds like "oh, this is like Boyz n the Hood, this is like Menace II Society"
I kinda like this little thread

Which in itself is f***ed up on our part. It's the reason why people let Kodak get away with talkin bout dark skin women (ANOTHER thing that the rapper that made "compexion" I'd like to know how he felt bout that) or Lil Wayne get away with saying beat the p**** up like Emmett Till but meanwhile never let Donald Glover or Tyler move on from the dumb s*** they said to decades ago.
Kendrick (and a looooot of conscious rappers) DO spend a lot of time in the past telling us that they do have the answers. He himself said repeatedly "I wanna be like Nelson" like 1,000 times. It's one of the reason Pathetic Pixels (legendary ktt1 user) hated TPAB. The older I get I see why.
Them realizing they don't have the range and saying that doesn't mean they didn't aid in putting themselves on that pedestal they so despised in the first place.
....I honestly don't know when Cole became that "figure." Like, part of me think it's light skin privilege plus the locs that made people go deaf at the fact homie used to be one of the most misogynist rappers on the planet lol. But niggas killed him because of all the things going on in the world, you wanna address a shawty tone? Something that women already gotta go through constantly?
He had writers block and said “fuck it I’ll try DAMN again
I agree this sounds like Damn 2
