In this video, I go through Kendrick Lamarās discography breaking down his relationship with āthe cultureā. I chronicle his beginnings reflecting his community (Section.80, Good Kid Maad City), his responsibility in influencing a culture (To Pimp a Butterfly, untitled unmastered), the disillusionment he felt about the impact of his music (DAMN, Black Panther Album), and his cathartic realization about his role as the voice of a generation (Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers).

It was annoying how people hated on the new album cause it wasn't the same song energy as DAMN, even tho it continues the storytelling and breakdowns of culture, but nah some just wanted party music.

Kendrick Lamar is one of the few rappers that have given me goosebumps when listening. His words are so pure, so raw, so reflective, its not just party hype music(nothing wrong with its just very common). You can tell his whole spirit goes into everything he touches. He has a rapper's heart and a prophet's soul.

"I'll be covering topics I don't fully understand but I hope i can interperet them honesty." Perfectly said. I appreciate you for knowing you're role in hip-hop/Black culture and not overstepping boundaries.

He always says that he's to small to change the system but he changed me

"Hard to deal with the pain when you're sober
By tomorrow, we forget the remains, we start over
That's the problem" Kendrick Lamar

Kendrick really wrote his albums like books of pure poetry

I remember trying to explain the complexity of to pimp a butterfly to my mother and father and they said I was thinking too deeply about it. Now they study it in college lectures and he won a pulitzer prize so I WAS RIGHT

This man helped pull me out of the hood. Damn. was on repeat, start to finish, while my mind was changing about my potential. He was helping me realize I didn't have to be what my environment and upbringing said I had to be. I got out. A lot of us won't. I get survivors guilt still, from time to time, but I'm so thankful for Kendrick or anyone that's trying to change the minds of low income, traumatized, and institutionally neglected individuals. He's not just an artist, he's a preacher and motivational speaker.

This is one of THE MOST COHERENT, chronological and PROFOUND INTERPRETATIONS of the Artistry of Kendrick Lamar that I have ever observed on YouTube. For me to witness such a concise commentary in REAL TIME establishing the historical framework of a BLACK ARTIST in such a scholarly, ERUDITE and INTELLECTUAL CONTEXT is literally enchanting. I really appreciate the AMOUNT OF RESEARCH you devoted to this meritorious presentation.

To pimp a butterfly was an absolute and utter masterpiece. Also sing about me is the deepest and most interesting song i've ever heard in my entire life. The gun shots and the song goes silent for a few seconds you don't need words he tells the story perfectly. Also the part near the end were kendrick just keeps spitting and the melody even jeers away trying to end the song but he isn't done and just keeps spitting. Song gives me straight goosebumps every single time I hear it.

Kendrick didnāt give up on the culture, the culture gave up on the people

One of my favorite lines from him is "One protest for you. Three-sixty-five for me"

Kendrick Lamar has always been an artists who makes conceptual albums that grows on you and the one he dropped this year is no different
His clever and on point wordplay makes you reflect on your personal traumas and vices, Father Time will haunt me forever and I'm glad that he finds the strength to make such singles

I really didn't get why people didn't immediately fall in love with "i" the single. It seems as if hiphop is associated with everything but wholesome happiness and love. That song was on repeat daily because of its message. It doesn't matter if you have the album for context or not. Self-love is important even in the face of judgement and scrutiny and self-doubts and so on.

As a trans person, I can say Auntie Diaries hit me hard. Instead of feeling uncomfortable or hurt by the words in the song, I came to recognize an image of the feelings of my conservative Mexican family, and of my nieces and nephews, over the news of my transition; and I even got feelings about myself while transitioning: It was difficult for me to come to terms with my own identity. The song has great value, at least for me, because of how honest it is with the process and the feelings Kendrick went through. Kendrick is a great writer and we should listen to him more as a literary voice than as someone who is literal in all of his music.

K.Dot dropped important messages through his music but society just ignores it or acts like none of it is true. People don't understand how hard it is to escape black trauma
Kendrick understands that we have to be our own heroes if we ever hope to change the world instead of treating celebrities as Gods/Goddesses when they're flawed like everyone else

As a trans person ,who had come out to myself in the intervening time between Damn and Mr Morale and was a massive Kendrick fan, Auntie Diaries had me ugly sobbing and completely overwhelmed by the love and acceptance he shows.
Fully weeping my eyes out, calling my partner to have someone to talk it through with. It was amazing.

I literally cried while listening to Keisha's song.
ADHD was an anthem for a summer for me.
Hiii Power taught me compassion and awareness.
Thank you for this video. Love from the BX.

I admire Kendrick's lyricism and I also admire how he mentioned Mac Miller on control. They're both my top favorite rappers. Aslo how Mac mentioned on faces, "if I'm not on your top ten then you're a racist" šš¤£
