Kendrick Lamar is arguably one of the most talented lyricists in hip-hop. He’s shown his versatility time and time again, notably on projects like 2017’s 'DAMN.' The album gave fans a number of notable tracks, especially songs like “FEAR.,” where Kendrick explores three different periods of his life at ages 7, 17, and 27.

@@AbsurdTurk Sorry to respond to you again, but I would say it's worth noting that: He uses different voices for expressing different character viewpoints. He has rapped much more profound lyrics; The poetry doesn't have to be all complex all the time. I'm not making an excuse for crappy lyrics- I don't like YAH and LOYALTY very much- but a rapper like Kendrick using blunt language is more than likely a device for expressing emotion, as later in the song the lyrics get more "serious", I guess. I don't know.

beat is really weak imo. "U" is far better in conveying "fear" than the beat on "Fear". But lyrically, it really gives us a very introspective perspective of the human condition and where we get our fear from. The fact that we get it from early childhood and are told to fear everything because of the consequences

Kendrick Lamar is a great example of what a good lyricist and technical rapper means. It's not about writing a 1000 rhymes in a row or rapping too damn fast to be understood. It's about writing ryhmes that are technically superior but still convey meaning, emotion, story and lessons. FEAR is the best song in this album in my opinion.

DAMN was great. During my masters I had to break down a poem, album or song. I used *Miss America* from J.Cole and a few songs from K.Dot as well (mostly how the album told the downfall story when played one way, then redemption, when played the other) . Some people have a way with words that are seemingly of divine influence.

He wrote the album, that's it. He didn't even think that he rhymed like Aristotle or someone else or that he used some poetic tools. It's more like a stream of consciousness and not something you construct using different tools

This is actually the best song on the album lyrically. The amount of subtle meanings actually needed a professor to break it down. We should be learning about rap in english class instead of fucking Shakespeare and his pointless romanticism. Whoever sets up the curriculum should add in things that will be relevant to people in modern times. My top 6 favourite songs in order: 1. DNA 2. FEAR 3. HUMBLE 4. DUCKWORTH 5. LOVE 6. ELEMENT

Careful there bud, a lot of English teachers realize this, and by your logic you’re saying that we should’ve all skipped that lecture on who Langston Hughes was? That little part at 2:40, it’s important to know all forms of literature, that’s pretty much the whole point of this video
