    I’m saying even if Kenny beats was on here, you know Kendrick would make him craft some s*** worthy so I wouldn’t even be upset

    Great call on the symbolism of Kendrick standing with his back to the world, facing his family instead. The fact that there’s chipped paint and everything in the surroundings doesn’t phase him. He’s steadfast as the man of the house no matter how much the backdrop might have cracks in its foundation

    I took it more as bullet holes from stray bullets patched over than just chipped paint

    Imo the fact that a given artwork can elicit responses and interpretations like this is validation enough of its quality

    Very much a subjective thing in aesthetic philosophy, but I’m a big believer in ā€œthe perception is the artā€ and a big part of that is creating art that communicates what the artist wants to, whether abstract or literal

    yeah but also if any artist had as big of a following as kendrick they’d be digging deep into the cover even if there’s nothing there

    I can absolutely see that. That lends a whole other level of interpretation around his protection of his family from the world, that and the gun of course

    Oh absolutely, people had plenty of interpretations of the Donda cover as funeral attire, closed eyes, death, etc. when it’s a literal black square lmao

    The crown of thorns symbolises persecution, Jesus was killed for his views so I think this album will have some very controversial lyrics and viewpoints that will Kendrick into some trouble.

    Makes me very excited to hear it.

    Oh absolutely same. Every time I come back to it it’s something new. I bet it’ll have even more layers in context with the album as a companion

    The Heart Part 5 felt like more of a mission statement than the others, there was a different air to this one I think

    Pt 5 is definitely the best out of all of em

    I think it’s the best Heart as far as a song.
    Heart part 4 was more to show his technical prowess as a rapper. Very showy

    I’m f***ing ready for that

    As someone who generally gets tired of the talking points around cancel culture, TH5 had one of the most refreshing stances on the nuance of celebrity and loving/forgiving their contributions while still acknowledging their flaws and mourning their self-inflicted downfalls. It actually made me much more excited to hear him talk his s*** if the rumors about the album content are true (and all signs point to it)

    Tbh tpab one of those albums that I put in the same realm as Purple Rain, Horses, Sgt peppers , what’s going on ?
    MBDTF in there too but I never argue if someone prefers TPAB
