Kendrick be like : What's up family, yeah it's yo cousin Carl man, just given' you a call man I know you been havin' a lot on yo mind lately And I know you feel like ya know people ain't been prayin' for you But you have to understand this man, that we are a cursed people Deuteronomy 28:28 says "The Lord shall smite thee with madness, and blindness And astonishment of heart." See family that's why you feel like You feel like you got a chip on your shoulder Until you finally get the memo, you will always feel that way Why God, why God do I gotta suffer? Pain in my heart carry burdens full of struggle Why God, why God do I gotta bleed? Every stone thrown at you restin' at my feet Why God, why God do I gotta suffer? Earth is no more, why don't you burn this mufucka? I beat yo' ass, keep talkin' back I beat yo' ass, who bought you that? You stole it, I beat yo' ass if you say that game is broken I beat yo' ass if you jump on my couch I beat yo' ass if you walk in this house with tears in your eyes Runnin' from poopoo and 'prentice Go back outside, I beat yo' ass, lil nigga That homework better be finished, I beat yo' ass Yo' teachers better not be bitchin' 'bout you in class That pizza better not be wasted, you eat it all That TV better not be loud if you got it on Them Jordans better not get dirty when I just bought 'em Better not hear 'bout you humpin' on Keisha's daughter Better not hear you got caught up, I beat yo' ass You better not run to your father, I beat yo' ass You know my patience runnin' thin I got beaucoup payments to make County building's on my ass Tryna take my food stamps away I beat yo' ass if you tell them social workers he live here I beat yo' ass if I beat yo' ass twice and you still here Seven years old, think you run this house by yourself? Nigga, you gon' fear me if you don't fear no one else If I can smoke fear away, I roll that motherfucker up And then I take two puffs I'm high now, I'm high now I'm high now, I'm high now Life's a bitch, pull them panties to the side now I'll prolly die anonymous I'll prolly die with promises I'll prolly die walkin' back home from the candy house I'll prolly die 'cause these colors are standin' out I'll prolly die because I ain't know Demarcus was snitchin' I'll prolly die at these house parties, fuckin' with bitches I'll prolly die from witnesses leavin' me false accused I'll prolly die from thinkin' that me and your hood was cool Or maybe die from pressin' the line, actin' too extra Or maybe die because these smokers Are more than desperate I'll prolly die from one of these bats and blue badges Body slammed on black and white paint, my bones snappin' Or maybe die from panic or die from bein' too lax Or die from waitin' on it, die 'cause I'm movin' too fast I'll prolly die tryna buy weed at the apartments I'll prolly die tryna diffuse two homies arguin' I'll prolly die 'cause that's what you do when you're 17 All worries in a hurry, I wish I controlled things If I could smoke fear away, I'd roll that mothafucka up And then I'd take two puffs I've been hungry all my life I'm high now, I'm high now I'm high now, I'm high now Life's a bitch, pull them panties to the side now, now When I was 27, I grew accustomed to more fear Accumulated 10 times over throughout the years My newfound life made all of me magnified How many accolades do I need to block denial? The shock value of my success put bolts in me All this money, is God playin' a joke on me? Is it for the moment and will he see me as Job? Take it from me and leave me worse than I was before? At 27, my biggest fear was losin' it all Scared to spend money, had me sleepin' from hall to hall Scared to go back to Section 8 with my mama stressin' 30 shows a month and I still won't buy me no Lexus What is an advisor somebody that's holdin' my checks? Just to fuck me over and put my finances in debt? I read a case about Rihanna's accountant and wondered How did the bad girl feel when she looked at them numbers? The type of shit'll make me flip out And just kill somethin', drill somethin' Get ill and fill ratchets with a lil' somethin' I practiced runnin' from fear, guess I had some good luck At 27 years old, my biggest fear was bein' judged How they look at me reflect on myself, my family, my city What they say 'bout me reveal If my reputation would miss me What they see from me Would trickle down generations in time What they hear from me Would make 'em highlight my simplest lines I'm talkin' fear, fear of losin' creativity I'm talkin' fear, fear of missin' out on you and me I'm talkin' fear, fear of losin' loyalty from pride 'cause my DNA won't let me involve in the light of God I'm talkin' fear, fear that my humbleness is gone I'm talkin' fear, fear that love ain't livin' here no more I'm talkin' fear, fear that it's wickedness or weakness Fear, whatever it is, both is distinctive Fear, what happens on Earth stays on Earth And I can't take these feelings With me so hopefully they disperse Within fourteen tracks, carried out over wax Searchin' for resolutions until somebody get back Fear, what happens on earth stays on earth And I can't take these feelings with me So hopefully they disperse Within fourteen tracks, carried out over wax Wonderin' if I'm livin' through fear or livin' through rap Damn Goddamn you Goddamn me Goddamn us Goddamn we Goddamn us all Therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities So until we come back to these commandments Until you come back to these commandments We're gonna be in this place, we're gonna be under this curse Because he said he's gonna punish us The so-called Blacks, Hispanics, and Native American Indians Are the true children of Israel We are the Israelites according to the Bible The children of Israel, he's gonna punish us for our iniquities For our disobedience because we chose to follow other gods That aren't his son, so the Lord thy God chasten you So just like you'll chasten your own son He's gonna chasten you because he loves you So that's why we get chastised, that's why we're in the position we're in Until we come back to these laws, statutes and commandments And do what the Lord said, these curses are gonna be upon us We're gonna be at a lower state in this life that we live here in today In the United States of America I love you, son, and I pray for you God bless you, shalom

There are WRONG opinions that are obtained by shit reasoning, so if you find someone's reasons for why they have an opinion, and you find it is valid and sound, you should agree with it.

What do you mean 'changing my mind'? My dude, listen to the album. Get a general feel for it, and create an opinion on it. Listen to Fantano's take on it, and compare your opinions. Is everything Fantano says sound? Just because he's an intelligent critic who sounds like he knows what he's talking about doesn't mean he doesn't make mistakes, or that his opinion is the most reasonable. ACTUALLY LISTEN TO HIM instead of making up a belief and stubbornly clinging to it and ignoring what others say (not particularly directed towards you but for other people here), or immediately changing your opinion because a critic sounds smarter and says so and so. Not only that, even if a critic reviews an album harshly, you can still love an album for other reasons, like sentimental value. For example, Anthony trashes J.Cole all the time (and I'm gonna be honest, I share some of his feelings), but I still love Cole's tracks and albums because of the experience they've provided me, even if they're not the most professionally and artistically put together pieces of work.

i am. BLOWN away by the fact that he thought kendrick agreed with carl’s voicemail and that’s why he put it on FEAR. like why would kendrick make a whole track about the various ways fear has impacted his life and Black people’s lives as a whole then be like “by the way i think racism is our fault because we upset god.” maybe it’s just me but the voicemail was very clearly not presented as a positive thing or something he agreed with. he played the whole thing without interrupting it to show how deeply the fearmongering of the catholic church had affected his cousin, to the extent that he would call his cousin who was struggling to leave this drawn out raving voicemail about how their people’s suffering was their own fault. it was an example of someone whose life is controlled by fear. maybe i’m wrong or maybe you just need to be raised catholic (or similar religions mb) to understand idk lmao

KENDRICK'S FATHER BEING SHOT WOULD NOT HAVE LED TO KENDRICK NOT BEING BORN. HE SAYS "COULD HAVE GROWN UP WITHOUT A FATHER." IT WOULD HAVE LED TO KENDRICK BECOMING THE FATHERLESS RAPPER AKA KUNG FU KENNY. In my opinion if you play this album backwards (the DJ says "WE GON PLAY IT IN REVERSE on Duckworth) it tells a different story. EDIT: that's where i feel like Humble gets its additional meaning. In itself it has nothing deep but if you view it as the alternate reality kendrick that would have existed if his dad didn't then it becomes more interesting. The "all over the place" sound is because he's one rapper half the time and the other rapper the other half of the time. BLOOD and DUCKWORTH are interchangeable intros and outros. I think it's called "Damn." Cause he's realizing the butterfly effect thing and how that small thing at KFC put him where he is now.

But isn't the "Deutoronomy reference" the whole point? That despite creating TPAB Kendrick is still consumed by the self hatred propagated by Fox News, and even his own Christian guilt and the self-hatred that the Bible itself can instil. This whole album is a deliberate juxtaposition of TPAB. DAMN. is drawn from some of the very images explored on TPAB 'He knows the bible too' and 'the hypocrite.' TPAB is about becoming something beautiful. DAMN. is about exploring Kendrick's uglyness. Each one of Kentdrick's albums often respond to the conceit of the prior album. GKMC is about escaping your environment. TPAB is about returning home and seeing the beauty in your environment, and the beauty in himself as a black man. DAMN. is him once again wrestling with self-hatred. He is still the "hypocrite" from The Blacker the Berry, despite attempting to raise himself and his community with the conscious pro-black themes on TPAB. No where is this more evident than on XXX where a friend from his community turns to him for his conscious spiritual outlook and he reveals his darker side. I could go on and on, but as you say this is a record that's very much left up to the listeners own interpretation, but I think it's an album that has to be analysed within the context of its body of work lyrically. There are songs on this album that revisit thoughts and moments from both GKMC and TPAB from a more twisted perspective, and I think that is really the point of this album. It's Kendrick wrestling with his personal demons, and pondering the futility of it all as his life could have been easily derailed with just wrong misstep by Ducky or Top. Does he have God to thank for that fortunate twist of fate? Even whilst God is making him suffer? That duality is what holds everything together at the heart of this album, whilst leaving everything more open with a deft attention to lyrical minimalism. I personally feel it deserves a strong 8 to soft 9 and is a welcome addition to Kendrick's catalogue.

Armz drake has a lackluster discography bud, putting out playlists to cover up the fact that his albums suck. he has numbers, and nothing else. kendrick has both the numbers and the discography to back him up as one of the greatest. yea, that's it. im out bruh 👊 oh, i'm not out. logic is a fucking biter, he doesn't have his own sound. he's dope, but only because the influences from others that he uses are dope so, meh. gambino's last project was fucking amazing but other than that, 😴😴😴😴. he's a dope actor and director tho, i fucks with him heavy. bruh, get ur tastes a check up, pls.

I'm not into much current rap/hip hop ( I love old school rap) but Kendrick is the exception. I think he's one of if not the most talented and influential rappers out here today and stands out head and shoulders among his peers. Kendrick is like the Tupac of his generation.

so im not saying it doesn't deserve a strong 7 to light 8, but it's inconsistent with the rating here
@RD500v27 жыл бұрын
shouldn't really look at it from a numerical perspective, seeing as he says 'I'm feeling', so its more to give a rough estimate as to how much he enjoyed it. Also waka 1.5 was pretty great, still waiting on 2.0 :(
