The guy who got killed the night before brother had called Kendrick to open up to him and tell him how he appreciated how he responded to his aid the night it happened. He also told Kendrick he wish that he had the aspirations that he have so that he could change his life and maybe live but he’s so caught up in the gang life that he won’t ever change and he hope that he’s around to hear the story but he got killed before the story was told, hence the gunshots. Second verse was Keisha’s sister checking Kendrick about making a song about her sister, she didn’t appreciate that he did. She’s caught up in the same lifestyle as her sister was and living haphazardly while living it. She goes thru her first time up to she’s now worrying about taking care of herself cuz as far as she knows she’s good. Unfortunately she wasn’t, her voice fading out was her dying. 3rd voice is Kendrick’s response to both conversations. Dying of thirst he’s explaining the circle that people go thru and don’t realize they’re running in circles cuz they’re getting results but wanna get out of the life they’re in.

at the beginning of the song(the 1st half) he is talking about a prostitute, and life from her perspective, and also talking about his super close friends brother who got killed, and they tried to find the killers and spin the block on them, in the end, it ends with them meeting a lady, who helps them give their life to God. Dying of thirst = thirst for God in their lives, and compassion. They are thirsty for a normal life, and peace. The very beginning talks about how kendrick held his friends brother, Dave, while he was dying, he told him he would be okay, and helped him pass peacefully, Dave was very appreciative of Kendrick for comnforting his brother, while Kendrick had a burden fall upon him, feeling like the death was on his hands. After the gunshots, he goes from Brenda's perspective(the prostitute who was later raped, and killed)

Both albums are constructed like stories, and while any one song can stand on its own, the context is what makes both albums so good. It's like walking into a theater in the middle of an action sequence, you can appreciate the spectacle, but you're not seeing the story.

it also called for a solution through the wise old woman's perspective which was baptism. Kendrick Lamar also has older songs that talked about his struggle with religion. that song is called faith. most of Kendrick Lamar's whole discography plays off of each other and creates one big movie which is the most unique aspect of him he is one of the best storytellers of all time when it comes to hip Hop. but not only because he tells stories but because the stories are relatable and most likely real.

I see many people talking about how great his storytelling is but for me this isn't storytelling, this is human introspective and extrospective poetry at it's finest. He's talking not only how he feels, but how others feel about him and his songs. The first verse is from the positive perspective of his friend Dave's brother and how he feels about how Kendrick cared for Dave when he was shot and how he rose up to retaliate. The verse ends with the brother being shot as well, as if to subtley suggest that following down the continued path of violence and retaliation will inevitably lead to a sudden death. The second verse is from the negative perspective of Keisha's sister. The sister's verse is largely negative, criticizing Kendrick for making a song about Keisha, a prostitute who was raped and murdered, telling Kendrick he has no right to judge the life they were thrown into. The verse fades out implying the sister is slowly fading into the same fate as Keisha. The last verse is from Kendrick's perspective and he explains why he sings about these stories, to break the seemingly endless cycle of gang violence and prostitution that plague poor communties. I could go on for a few hours examining each line individually but I'll stop here.

This song serves as the climax to the plot/story running through the album Good Kid MAAD City. Good Kid MAAD City is a cinematic album that tells a completely true story of one day in Kendricks life at the age of 16 in Compton. The story & plot throughout the album is presented in a non-linear path (similar to Pulp Fiction), so you have to use the skits at the end or beginning of each song and the lyrics to piece the story together. The first verse on Sing about me and then the Skit in between Sing about me & Im dying with thirst and at the end are connected to the story of the album.

The context of 3 verses in "Sing About Me" are the following: The first verse is told in the perspective of the brother of Kendrick's friend David. David was killed in presumably a gang-related shooting, reference the skit at the end of "Swimming Pools [Extended]" from Kendrick's album "good kid, m.A.A.d city" for a better picture. The second verse is told in the perspective of the sister of Keisha. Reference "Keisha's Song" from Kendrick's album "Section.80" for more context. The third verse is told from Kendrick's own perspective.

The 1st verse is Kendrick speaking from the perspective of his friend whose brother (Dave) died. That's where the brother speaks on Kendrick holding the shot brother in the street with blood all on his hands until Dave passed. The friend then goes into talking about his mentality to get revenge for his brother because gang banging has been his lifestyle & that he'll probably die before his album drops (he does). 2nd verse is from the perspective of a prostitutes sister who feels that her sister (rapped about in "Keisha's Song - Section .80") is being unfairly judged & so is she since she's following in her dead sisters footsteps of prostitution. 3rd verse is Kendrick speaking on his self, those 2 life encounters of the 2 friends dying (in verse 1), the prostitute sisters (in verse 2), & how he wants his life to be sang about at the end of the day when he is dead (verse 3). The second part of the full song, "I'm Dying of Thirst," is from the perspective of the friend right after his brother died

Eminem is easily one of the greatest hip-hop artists, with lyrics that can put you on a roller coaster. I think the community would really get a good feel for what it's like to be a parent and have to suffer the emotions of an addict with so much trauma with the only outlets he had were his daughters and the music he wrote.

I’m sure Kendrick has somebody or multiple people in mind with this song but idk if he’s talking specifically about them but rather the cycle that his (and plenty other) communities live through that perpetuate hate and negativity. The people are victims to their circumstances and he’s depicting those struggles but also giving message to the better way of life. Fantastic video as always! I know you like to listen to a lot of J Cole on this channel. I’d suggest songs off the KOD album: in particular “FRIENDS” and “Once an Addict”

The song is from three different perspectives. The first is the brother of a friend the second is Keisha’s sister from Keisha’s song and the 3rd is him

I hope by the time you gain a million subscribers this series evolves into you actually interviewing musicians and discussing their albums with them.
