I always appreciated how human and down to earth kendrick music felt, even in TPAB when he was clearly tryna go out his way to uplift ppl and step more outside himself than usual

but he took it to another level on this album. s*** uncomfortable to listen to at points and that's what the best art does, easy 9/10!

never looking at this thread again!!

no, I'm saying the use of the f word in a derogatory way towards gay people is much more socially acceptable today in many cultures than the n word towards black people in a derogatory way, so the jack harlow example isn't a***ogous

"Mr. Preacherman, should we love thy neighbor?
The laws of the land or the heart, what's greater?
I recognize the study she was taught since birth
But that don't justify the feelings that my cousin preserved"
The building was thinking out loud, bad angel
That's when you looked at me and smiled, said, "Thank you"
The day I chose humanity over religion

Yall need to listen to him say "Demetrius is Mary Ann now" with some headphones. That touch of stereo panning on that part is hilarious

doc2/2.5 was an amazing album

Gave it another spin this morning

This s*** is trash

Mr Mid & The Big Skips

Kendrick’s new name : oklama

First tour stop : oklahoma

Not a coincidence people wake up

I get what you're saying, but I think he was purposely showing what he was doing wrong by doing it

The whole song is from his viewpoint as a kid

infidelity with white woman

The weak minded put political labels on raw emotions

That was the theme on like one song

True. But different lanes, he doesn't necessarily need to do that

In the context of the song, he doesn't say it, it's used as dialogue in a conversation with his relative

Demetrius to Mary Ann is crazy

Demetria woulda been a more litty name

Idk not necessarily

But drakes honesty is a little boring to me at this point
Like he doesn’t really say anything new
If he’s gonna make songs like that I really wanna hear him dig deep into why he is the way he is
Like you can hear how on this album how much fame f***s Kendrick up
I don’t really feel like I’ve heard drake truly reflecting on that since like redemption

Someone wrote the actors lines. "Real life music" wtf does that even mean lol to reduce films to just fiction when there can still be truth behind the message

Need a few takes from serial Kodak haters, how y’all feel about this new album? Y’all think Kenny made a mistake or?

cuzzlightyear

TPAB never went nowhere you can still press play on the album

Nah she was off, she was mad that they specifically ain't put a tweet up

Kodak said OK, Lama
not oklama

N95 sounds like a MCHG beat. Should have got Hov on it

he didnt backpedal doe

I hate using replay value but U is more replay able than We Cry Together lol
