I mean, considering Mr. Morale, I feel like Kendrick would be the Holy Spirit, as a driving force for the culture, someone who makes you think about it and influences other people to do the same, and also your savior he is not. His discography is good, yeah, but what Kendrick realized was that the flaws in his ideas and image displayed in TPAB especially, crushed his public image. The entire point of Mr. Morale, is that Kendrick will never be your savior if he sins, and he will, because he is a human like the rest of us. MF Doom could work as the Son, as a pioneer of the genre. Or another person. idk.
@bonelessbenny60394 ай бұрын
@@foodhorse that’s definitely the message on Mr Morale yeah. I agree that Kendrick isn’t capable of functioning as a literal savior cause he’s a flawed human being like the rest of us. Unfortunately for Kendrick his whole career, even during and past the Mr Morale Era has put him in this position culturally. Kendrick isn’t your savior, but you wouldn’t know that by looking at him.

"Kendrick will never be your savior if he sins, and he will, because he is a human like the rest of us." Jesus being both human and divine is an important aspect to his divinity. He is both Son of Man and Son of God. Sure Jesus is sinless unlike Kendrick but I think it still fits him. Also like, he played into this a lot himself.

While Kendrick does make a good case for "the son." IMO Nas is the only son, he literally has "God's Son" across his belly. He is considered the golden child of hip hop, carrying the mantle from Rakim. His lyricism and storytelling are second to none. Like the son, he has "resurrected" his career recently through the 6 album in 3 3-year run with Hit-boy. He breaks through genre walls, especially through the album "Distant-Relatives" with Damian Marley. His subject matter is diverse and was the mainstream foundation for conscious hip hop in the 90s and into the 21st century. He constantly preaches about upliftment and saving/improving the world. He also has extremely introspective tracks on "Life Is Good", "KD3", etc. Although not the most constant discography across 4 decades, his peaks are as high as the goats, Illmatic, IWW, Stillmatic, LT, GS, DR, Life is Good, KD1-3, Magic 1-3. So yeah IMO nas is "the son" in the trinitarian goat theory.

These two guys would never have existed in hip hop without KMD, which later transitioned into MF DOOM. DOOM having been part of the Ansura Allah Nuwaubian community in the late 80's-90's, putting him in the father position for being the pioneer in the triad. He has more time on the books. Time is Father's energy, and he is the most skilled of the three!
