he deff wouldve

Also saying a song about a woman getting raped is critic bait or pandering is f***ing wild

You can tell whos sheltered lmao

Heart pt 5 is really a crazy song

I feel like when you play for “the man” then you are bound to be a confused artist. It doesn’t mean he is not a great artist but that it sullies the genuineness of the message.

That doesn’t mean no socio-political art can be great. It’s different when Steven Spielberg directs Schindler’s List to if Christopher Nolan did it (which is why he probably did Dunkirk). But there are artists out there playing the game and you have to be really lost to not see what is happening.

I rather see Kendrick use his formidable artistic technical skills to create something truly universal.

Like even this, supposedly his “Fuck U” album to everybody, is designed to be critic bait. Like it’s the end point where being anti-hipster is actually just a way of being a hipster. Or being a conformist to show how others are more conforming in their non-conformity.

At some point this s*** starts to be more ego than Love. I was a Kendrick fan because of GKMC, which for me is far less political, more personal and universal.

every time I’d return from a friend house when I was younger my mom would ask if someone touched me she and If they did would I tell she still asks me this till this day it happened to me by a someone I was raised alongside with a year younger than me as kids didn’t understand what happened just found out it could still be considered molestation 2 days ago I don’t think I’d build the strength to tell her at this point

Father Time could be a song about my life

I love my dad but that mfer is a bottom 10 influence ever

Spielberg fan in thread

fell off tbh

real.

I don't think my mom was touched, she's bipolar so super paranoid and overprotective even today I just forgot about those moments, she'd bring it up constantly while bathing me and I remember feeling like it was overkill, even as a kid. But I get where she was coming from. Being a parent has to be tough fr

I was thinking to myself if X narrated the first disc instead of Kodak and how that would change the album or what he’d say his aoty kinda fits the concept in someways I know Kendrick rocked with him heavy

yea i have a feeling kendrick wanted X on one of his albums especially after the 5th listen s*** lol

like we joke abt it but it'd happen i'm sure of it he rly seemed to fw X & felt the need to make it clear

Yo I logged onto facebook and they got a built in dating app, crine KTT need to catch up.

Would be clapping everybody cheeks who liked this album and WLR

jump this nigga

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I wake up w tracks playing in my head lol
Today it was Die Hard

My fav album in a lomg time

You again ramble without addressing anything I said despite giving you the respect of a post explaining my thoughts without insulting you like you’re doing here.

You’re butt-hurt because you see what I’m saying and don’t want that to detract from your enjoyment. Which seems to ironically come from the things I’m saying (critic bait) otherwise there’s no reason to be this mad 😂).

People were mad because Macklemore got critical acclaim only because he tackled homosexuality as a topic. Because in no world was he technically better. There was no other reason to give it. Macklemore himself felt so guilty he apologised for beating Kendrick 😂

Oh my God I'm so sorry to hear that I hope you have someone you can talk to about it. Lowkey been realizing how valuable therapy can be over the last few years, I'm glad to hear rappers promoting it

i relate to this tbh

my uncle was murdered 4 years before i was born

it changed my mom's life forever

from what i've been told by my cousins and other family members, it was a turning point in her life

she became overprotective and paranoid, to the point where it really f***ed up my childhood, and even how i view people/strangers as an adult

Calling something "critic bait" will never not be the laziest and least meaningful form of criticism on this site. If you have grievances with something, elaborate on them, don't just judge something based on imagined intent.

Even Isaiah rashad did he was supposed to be on the garden it’s was exciting seeing all those co-signs play out in real time
