i don't think it's actual anti vax, i think it's supposed to just be about hypocrisy and how it's easy to make supposedly hard judgements on societal things until they affect you directly

F*** this guy

Kendrick been dealing w his savior complex since the beginning

"I'm not the next pop star, I'm not the next socially-aware rapper
I am a human motherfuckin' being over dope-ass instrumentation"

To

"I freed you from being a slave in your mind, you're very welcome
You tell me my song is more than a song, it's surely a blessing"

To

"Kendrick made you think about it, but he is not your savior"

Kendrick to Kyrie when he got covid

average ktt mf lmao

Oh god I don’t even want to guess what it sounded like

Anti-vax while still s***ting on anti-vaxxers a bit

Honestly an incredible moment on the album, this coming from a very pro-vax individual. This thought process had to have been had millions of times these past few years

is this anti vax or pro vax?

You really think he's gonna perform all these tracks on tour? Some might be interludes or intro's into the main songs like he did on his DAMN tour. Plus the hits from his other records.

"Kendrick should move toward film" is a thought I had too after listening to this, I think it would serve his intentions more effectively as a medium

If an artist saiya some personal s*** and be open about it what it does is it gives listeners the strength that they are not alone in this type of situations. It may sound corny to you but it helps somebody. You can be happy listening to same s*** Drake feed you tho

united in grief is beyond hard omfg

We Cry Together gonna be like a play

I didn't want Prayer on here because I've already been listening to it for like 2 years now. But honestly, this album would be better if that song was on it

twitter is beyond corny

Same nigga who gave Nasir a 10 then gave it a 7 the next week

Maybe he shouldnt rush to give opinions

I gotta find these and hear them now I can’t fathom hearing any of this in demo form

Track is told from elementary school age Kendrick who is trying to understand but doesn’t fully until the end

Critics love it

Real ones love it

Trolls who don’t listen to the whole thing hate it

if he's questioning kyrie (someone who is very anti vax) then don't that mean he wants the vax?

I mean yeah, but isn't replay value also indicative of quality from a personal listener standpoint??

Like tbh I've found myself valuing the music that makes me wanna just keep on listening to it nowadays rather than just what I view as better in my head without listening to it

We Cry Together live

he even says on the album "Oh, you worried 'bout a critic? That ain't protocol" bc i think he understands the critics giving him a ball-washing with everything he puts out are not even engaging with the actual album

they are some of the biggest culprits in fostering public misrepresentation of who he actually is, and that grates at him severely

This is a horrible interpretation lmfaooooo like how did you possibly see this as anti vax

If a white artist ironically used the n word like the f word is used in this album. How would y’all feel?
