Yeah my ranking for favorite artist just changed. Kendrick was always top 10 but he top 3 now and he not 3rd anymore
Had this s*** on in the gym. We cry together came on I pushed skip Iām not gonna lie to yāall.
Kendrick implying that ālife failedā R. Kelly is truly disgusting
holy s*** i didnt even know this is where it started. how embarrassing. you dont deserve this album
What are you talking about telling Kendrick Lamar he "could've worded it better" ? He used his platform to spread positive and thought-provoking messages just learn
Itās not thought provoking to be the champion of abusers. You get manipulated so easily, he just needs to say Ā« Youāre against me because I think different Ā» to believe heās being cutting edge.
Iāve been ITT for 20 minutes what are you talking about
Yāall are the ones brushing off actual discourse and criticism of the album because some of us arenāt sucking it dry like yāall are
I mean most of your criticism so far has been centered around controversial lines that make up less than 1% of the overall album. And then youāre upset weāre not all up in arms and ready to cancel him.

Kendrick is a human with flaws too fyi

Iām engaging in discourse about the ideas presented on this album. Iām criticizing it in the same way I criticize any other album.
The album is great, but Kendrick Lamar is not above criticism because heās Kendrick Lamar, the d***riding seriously needs to stop
When I first woke up: Ready to s***post and troll
First listen: Didnāt like tracks 1-2 that much, but really loved 3-4 and started thinking i liked it
Went through the whole album, still critical but enjoyed most of it
Immediately restarted the album
Listened to it 5 times in a row at work
Drove home and went to the gym and listened to it there
Went for a run and realized i was still listening and vibing to it, and started thinking about the subject matter
Realized itās a classic and i have to hold my L
mannnn sometimes u gotta shut the f*** up when u hear love talkin
How was it wrong? My point still stands; the way he executed that idea and that line specifically can come across like heās trying to defend R. Kellyās crimes as an adult. Is that what heās doing? No. But I wouldnāt blame someone who heard that line and came to that conclusion, because that how it comes across. All Iām saying is that idea couldāve been executed in a better way
Why are you worrying how others will interpret the line? If you got it, thats enough
Wonder how many people miss the āThis is what the world sounds likeā bit at the beginning of We Cry Together.
Reminds me of people who were like āWhat is These Walls even about?ā when the song literally starts off with the word āSexā
holy s*** i didnt even know this is where it started. how embarrassing. you dont deserve this album
If you read my posts youād understand what Iām saying. But maybe my initial point couldāve been executed betterā¦exactly like some of the ideas on this Kendrick album could have been
This album is a mental health masterpiece. I finally understand now. I think the Big Stepper part is him finally going to therapy for the first time and going through his toxic ways of thinking. By the Mr Morale portion, the treatment seems to be working a bit more and he reveals where it started and by the end heās choosing to finally work on himself before being a savior to his community/fans. I think with albums like GKMC and TPAB he dealt with the pain the streets and fame made him go through and then feeling like he had to be the leader of the people while putting himself 2nd to all of this. Kind of using THAT as a coping mechanism
This is how I interpret it tbh
Kendrick Lamar is the greatest rapper of all time

āKendrick implying that ālife failedā R. Kelly is truly disgustingā
Thatās what you said. And thatās clearly false. You made your point but this original post came off as more of a emotional response than a musical one, then you start spouting about you being attacked and s*** lol

"Dickriding needs to stop"

Nowhere did I say we should cancel Kendrick Lamar
Iām criticizing the album like I do for any other album but this manās d*** is so far down yāallās throats you think Iām just blindly hating
