i can hear it in his voice and that means so much to me, for an artist to be that vulnerable, this song makes me teary eyed every time i listen to it. i cant imagine the pain he must have been going through with all of his insecurities
the complete antithesis to “i”
Jay Z songs have made me teary eyed because of his passion and hunger on a track and although these two traits are present in the way i feel towards this song...it’s different... this song is way more emotional than any song i have ever heard before
& on this album...Kendrick Lamar the poet is back
Two of my friends said this album wasn’t hip hop & i quickly responded with this is the very essence of hip hop! you have funk, soul and jazz the summation of these genres is what hip hop began as before it entered mainstream wavelengths. Kendrick plays with conscious rap and a fun, but HONEST delivery on this album
I HATE ratings when it comes to music/albums, I think it’s okay for movies, but how can AFTER ONE DAY...NOT EVEN ONE DAY some random reviewer at X magazine say that an album is worthy of blank amount of stars? I don’t understand that concept...Kendrick Lamar spent lord knows how long on this album and you’re telling me blank reviewer spent less than a day! judging To Pimp A Butterfly?? not only that, BUT you can’t go through Lamars dense lyrics in one sitting...heck not even two full run throughs..how are you going to catch every double/triple entendre...? did you know Chad died and that’s what who he refers to in these bars? Did you listen to Lamar when he first began on Overly dedicated, Section 80 ...etc.? Also, the title! great hip hop makes you think critically
It’s up to us as consumers of this music to take our time and digest it slowly, it deserves to be listened to carefully, analyzed...a rating won’t change the way I feel about an album
wow i was just going to add a lyric in quotes lol
“the world will know money can’t stop a suicidal weakness”
