Kendrick Lamar bringing out all these artists at The Forum… this is UNHEARD OF… I dont think people understand how powerful that is… some of these artists never been in front of 20,000 people. Wow.
Kendrick made FOUR moves the moment Not Like Us dropped.
1. Song Drop
2. Concert
3. Music Video
4. Superbowl
The milking narrative needs to stop. He has bigger records. The issue is people are furious he did this against their favorite artist in a microwave era. Cope.
As fans of lyricism we have been breaking subliminal lyrics down since 1994 with Biggie and Nas etc… dont let people make you feel bad for trying to decode rhymes.
So listening to this 3 times… the people that dont like it or think its just ok want OVERT metaphors/bars/personals
Kendrick wasn’t punching. Just Little stabs with a blade. You have to dig to see what he saying.
Its a lot of psychoanalyzing on the song that i find fascinsting
What I love about this is… Kendrick has always been private. He doesn’t need to parade his life on social media to validate claims…. I mean isn’t the song Humble about that?
He’s letting the music video rebuttal the claims of abuse.
