Omg I cant wait to hear what u think of this
Ill listen to the albim tomorrow, I've read the lyrics to a few tracks tho
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"
If I have one thing to say about this album at the moment,itās that,itās most likely better then GKMC on an artistic level.
1 in 3 Trans people will commit suicide in their lifetime
States actively making being a trans youth a prosecutable crime
But lets make a fake deep song using a slur for "artistic" purposes
F*** Kendrick and any straight person defending this bullshit
F*** the straight people acting fake offended by this as if we need their libshit fake sympathy
to me the ye/drake line is praise to them and a diss to himself
i dont see why people are seeing it as a snub to either of them
nah it sounds like Kendrick saying ''I'm tougher and more real than them''
didnt even catch that damn
but even the first bar about studying division when his mom is strung out whew
Mannn Heās a great visual storyteller. Excited to see him tap more into that bag
Bro no Drake stans are taking this as a diss lmao
a lot of them itt are and in drake sxn,not a monolith of course but the main culprits are here
that Drake and Ye line really shows y'all why Control was taking out of context. ppl hear name drops and totally lose their mind and think there's a negative connotation attached to it.
man was just saying because of his insecurities and ego it's hard for him to let s*** go and forgive
Why did he say āniggaā like that at the end of Savior? Lmao itās like he was uncomfortable to say it, maybe thatās from the white girlās perspective?
Worldwide Steppers makes me want to drive a 1920's jalopy through a white neighborhood throwing Spy vs Spy bowling ball bombs with long wicks
Lol
Some terrible takes in here my god
Yall gotta let the album breath for a bit
F*** the straight people acting fake offended by this as if we need their libshit fake sympathy
itās a drake Stan looking to stir pot negatively lol
nah it sounds like Kendrick saying ''I'm tougher and more real than them''
He kinda saying that on worldwide steppers
Thought so. Hard to tell when heās being biographical and when heās making an artist statement sometimes
This album is a perfect balance too.
Just enough bops for your but also enough weirdness to keep you loving the experimentation.
but aren't they correct? what's the difference?
Kendrick gives a pretty coherent reasoning for his choises
Where as Kanye just goes on multiple rants that sound insane out of context. I mean the Love Everybody shtick Ye was pushing sounds pretty fake bc of surrounding events , with Kendrick it feels a bit more sincere
