[@TC-xd3kk]

The yams reference not only a black cultural food, but also, saying he smells it down the street, is a direct reference to Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man, where the narrator finally is able to reject the ideologies that was fed to him which made him ashamed of is culture, of eating yam, but finally, he buys a yam and feels “freedom” and is ultimately motivated to become an orator for Black equality.

[@leoneg2722]

Thanks for this.

[@calebthefurious5101]

Yousef it’s a triple entendre. It also references yams from things fall apart by Chinua Achebe in which yams are seen as a form of currency and therefore power, hence Kendrick says everyone wants to cut the legs off of him when he has achieved wealth and prosperity, notably the white man

[@spebtm8017]

Yams are also slang for cocaine

Pulitzer Prize isn't that great of a deal in music. But, even without all the prizes he has won, he's one of the greatest, he created a legacy that will never be forgotten. Prizes are bullshit if you want to compare quality of something, atleast in rap. Look at Nas, we all know that he didn't won big prizes, but he's one of the greatest rappers to ever touch a pen. Music is relative, prizes can't be used as a measure.

[@wk961]

@@Portthefirst it's a big deal because it awards based on artistry alone. Whereas the Grammys and other awards choose their recipients based on sales, radio play, and other commercial factors. The Pulitzer Prize committee doesn't care about popularity or revenue potential. They only focus on the contribution the artist has made to the body of artistic work.

[@Portthefirst]

Will B you can check in google, in the music section it's not that much of a deal. You have plenty of albums/ songs that have better body artistic of work, one of them is Lupe Fiasco - Mural. But, nevertheless as I told you, rap is domething different, no prizes can truly determine if a rapper is better than the other, and Nas, Hov, Em, Rakim, G Rap, Kendrick, Lupe Fiasco, the whole Wu Tang and so on told us that. Glad to live in an era where I can listen freely these rap songs, it's wonderful.

David Bowie's band that he used to make his last album "Blackstar" would listen to Kendrick's album for inspiration during downtimes in recording. So, you have one of the greatest artist of the 20th century influenced by a young rapper. Not many people outside of Bowie's hard core fans know this. Interesting stuff if you ask me.

Some people don't like Kendrick. Some don't like Drake (Me). Some don't like trap music, or weird rap (Odd Future, Lil Dicky) but y'all gotta respect all forms of hip hop. The world needs different style. If every rapper made music like your favorite rapper, he wouldn't be special anymore. He/She would be generic. You don't have to like other kinds of rap but appreciate them. They make your favorite rapper look good in your eyes.

[@korykent5645]

+Jalen Marks-Allen Here's how I feel about it, Kendrick is great, but he has terrible fans that like him for all the wrong reasons. Kendrick makes entertaining music, and he's a talented rapper that can incorporate social commentary into his music without it being distasteful, but he's not the "brooding and deep" incredible lyricist that his seemingly youthful fans make him out to be. He makes references and can form some clever word play on his lyrics, but they're not deep or hard to figure out. Sorry but Kendrick's career is turning into an Odd Future situation with these young ass overzealous fans. Odd Future ain't shit anymore because all the little white kids jump on the next act. Y'all gonna hate me for saying this, but I know that Kendrick has a ton of white fans and white people just don't like real hip hop - they like the "oh so "clever" social commentary"...a rapper with too many white fans is doomed to be forgotten, just like Tyler the Creator and Hopsin. Yeah I said it. This is the reason they don't like J Cole, who has the quintessential hip hop sound that white people just can't get into. J Cole was influenced by one of hip hop's greatest lyricists (Nas) and has exhibited lyrical genius himself and is why he'll be remembered more. But to re-iterate, Kendrick is definitely great but a little overrated.
