Great job as pointing out how Kendrick displayed the Kanye quote without all of Kanye's ignorant bullshit. Malcolm X has a quote similar quote that I think both got the idea of mental slavery from.

[@user-zi3tb7rg5k]

Every time I hear this track I almost burst into tears. What this album has taught me and helped me discover is irreplaceable and I don't know where I would be without it.

[@lyonnfire3262]

One thing a lot of people look over is ‘assassin aka agent sasco’ on the hook. He’s a Jamaican artist singing in patois which is the dialect spoken in Jamaican which came from African slaves being forced to speak English. So that fits perfectly with the theme of the song

I must second this, after the third verse, in that silence, I found myself surprised as a single tear escaped my eye.

[@HighOnJalapenos]

I know it's unreasonable to ask but y'all should review this whole album in a sitting. It's just very conceptual and it's one of those albums where you get more out of it if you listen to it all. This album has everything songs, poem, skits, Tupac, songs.

[@adub92199]

Digvijay Singh everything sounds better when you listen to it all at once tbh. Especially the second time in

[@HighOnJalapenos]

@@adub92199 I don't know about everything tbh (for eg any drake album or new chance album). But especially when there's a narrative in an album you'll miss a lot in just listening to the songs.

Fun fact Good Kid M.A.A.D City plays like a novel/movie begging to end. To Pimp a Butterfly is the album that plays like a poem that ties all his previous works together. You can literally tie tracks together directly from past works (ex. Kieyshas song - Sing About Me - You). Mind blowing

Cudi and Kanye where the ones who revolutionized hip hop/pop music in the late 2000s, what hip hop is today is largely thanks to those two. They pushed the sounds and culture forward.

[@wizweza5304]

Liked before I watched the video!!

[@Lemon_Oppy]

I just analyzed this album, and wow what a masterpiece I know he got flak for calling himself a hypocrite *spoilers* at the end of the song he says he’s a hypocrite because he cried for Trayvon Martin, but he killed an African American man. Nobody is sure if he truly has, but he’s alluded to it, it’s one of the few mysteries left about his character, but people took it as he was saying all people in gangs or anyone who killed their own race can’t cry for Trayvon Martin, but the beauty of this album is he doesn’t only talk about societal issues, but it’s a continuation of GKMC, and throughout this entire album he talks about the community, but also talks about his personal journey against Uncle Sam and Luci, and his eventual transformation into the Unpimpable butterfly, I think here he once again wove his personal story into a song about America in general, he’s calling himself a hypocrite not the community. He’s a genius and a leader
