It might show heβs wrong because despite all the glowing reviews, itβs not like the media ever convinced the masses his music was it

you might be right
Stop playing with me fore I turn you to a song is the Drakest s*** this man has said
Silent Hill is gonna ring off in MIAMI RL canβt waittt
The thing is even on that same song where he said repeatedly "I want to be like Nelson" he also acknowledges that he's not perfect on that song either.
"As I lead this army, make room for mistakes and depression"
"When s*** hit the fan, is you still a fan?
When s*** hit the fan, is you still a fan?
Won't you look to your left and right? Make sure you ask your friends
When s*** hit the fan, is you still a fan?"
I listened to that whole song recently and it's interesting cuz he kinda echoes the same sentiments there in between the grandstanding.
And yea people killed Cole, but folks act like Noname (no matter how well intentioned she was) kinda pulled a weird "where's Ja" moment in the middle of them BLM protests when Cole has showed up for s*** in the past lol
"As I lead this army" c'mon bro lol.
that when s*** hit the fan line is also like...I mean it defends on what the s*** is. All love is conditional and everyone has their own personal line based on their perspectives from the lives they live. For some that line is abuse/rape which once again makes the whole yak thing kinda...funny.
the way they both kinda responded also kinda proved Noname's point tho at the same time.
I also think it's hilarious Noname's turned into a poster child for being 'holier than thou' when like....if you really been a fan you remember she used to be publically called out for her old rap name (Noname Gypsy) and herself realizing and apologizing publicly about it. And also was being transparent when she was first openly transitioning away from capitalist thought (something else she publicly admitted she was wrong about)
Not to sound ignorant but what does deadname mean?
Sorry if thatβs a dumb ass question.
Referring to a trans person to their old name or pronouns before they transitioned
Crazy how this is Kendricks Kiss of Death π¨
This is Kendricksβs Jesus is King
Count me out is crazy
Hope you enjoy having a crowd full of straight white people using the f word because Kendrick made it ok to say for artistic purposes
You really think Kendrick performing that song live? Its an album deep cut
Not to sound ignorant but what does deadname mean?
Sorry if thatβs a dumb ass question.
a trans person's deadname is their birth name, the name they no longer go by. in this example, kendrick's cousin mary-ann's deadname is demetrius. when trans people are referred to by this name, it is usually taken as a derogatory action, and it often makes the person feel invalidated, as if they aren't the gender that they really are
Itβs cool but also a little baffling that all of us (myself included) are a***yzing these songs so deeply for a message. Maybe Kendrick just wanted to use his music to tell more of his story and get things off his chest. Most other artists just rap about their lives and get praised for being introspective and open. Some people seem almost disappointed that some of these songs may not go deeper and preach a lesson to society
This man looks like he petrifies the hoes, fitting that heβs on here
Eckhart slander
Exactly the same. Those 2 for me are We Cry Together and Purple Hearts. And for you?
Letβs be real here. How many times can one actually bump Auntie Diaries before it becomes unlistenable? It was 5 for me.
i feel like there could've been a way to do that without saying the f-slur like 10 times, especially considering he is cis and straight
The song is anti f-slur by the end. I think it's more of Kendrick using himself as a template to show others how to grow. Heart Part 5 pretty much says that and this album demonstrates it on a personal level.
radical anarchist leftists hating this one. crazy. the tables have turned
Dam didnt know I hated this
Kendrick talking to sme girl after getting caught cheating with a white girl in copenhagen

For me it's mid but only because of the fact that I know what Kendrick is capable of creating. This isn't a top 3 album of his imo and that's disappointing considering the 5 year wait.
But he could release a 2/10 album with the reviewers still praising it simply because they are stans/afraid of speaking their truth due to the backlash

Oh wow i love Rich Spirit. Die Hard grew on me
just something I could hear from Damn era kendrick but not bad at all just wanted more.
this is Kendrickβs Dr. Strange In The Multiverse of Madness
itβs so clear now
