It’s funny how our rappers who are not from the hood and struggle make negative music and act all gangsta but Kendrick who is from the hood and had struggle makes positive music that’s why he’s the goat
Cinomatix he made u lol, the thing he is trying to do is show both sides and that even though you had some struggles you can get out of it. He’s not purely showing positivity
The production credits and crew who contributed to this album basically all but comfirm this lol. Shows how much of a genius he was to be involved with the albums curation
@@MaddSpazz2000 Yeah, it depends on how much of a role he played in composing the actual music of the album. If he did its clear he has a pretty deep understanding of music theory.
the contrast between i and u is so surreal. abundant joy and confidence in oneself juxtaposed to overwhelming grief and deliberation of suicidal thoughts. the entire album is amazing and the story being told carries well between every song, but these two songs in particular synergize so well.
you know when he says loving u is complicated hes actually talking about loving himself. At the highest point of his life, he loves himself (represented by i), but at the lowest point, he doubts whether he really loves himself and its 'complicated' to love himself. thats why the song titles are both single lowercase letters. its pure genius. the whole track 'u' is talking about how he hates himself which is just the opposite of i. two different points in his life.
Be proud of yourself. You went through every type of pain, family issues, trust issues, heartbreak, insecurities, depression, etc. You went through it all alone, but never gave up
As a black 20 year old, I can genuinely say the world feels hopeless sometimes. I have no idea what awaits us in the next 80 years or so, or if things will change, if our anger, riots, and protests will end this corrupt system. Hearing "one day at a time, sun gonna shine" means so much to me rn honestly
Nah man, have hope those old white men in politics are dying of old age our generation is going to change this world for good. I promise you bro, Keep your head held high my guy, get into politics become a beacon of hope for your local community do something man we have the power. Much love brother.
I don't think they will. These systems never just end, they either take a lot of time or lives. Regardless, every day we as a generation work towards progress is a step closer to a better world, maybe for us, maybe for our kids, maybe for their kids.
I was literally about to comment about this! And to mention, he isnt black! The Hispanic self deletion rate is mad high in California. So that adds even deeper meaning! Peace brov. 🤍
I love how Kendrick is more than just a Hip Hop artist. He's a great poet, and he knows exactly how to paint a picture vivid enough for us all to be aware of what's going on in our communities, let alone the world we live in. I hope I can one day be a Hip Hop artist as great as K.Dot is.
I felt it when Kendrick said "Dreams of reality's peace Blow steam in the face of the beast The sky could fall down, the wind could cry now The strong in me, I still smile" These lyrics are so underrated
His music is not actually only about that. He sees that this “problem” is created by the people in power in every part of world in different shapes. He sees that there is rich and there poor. He sees that they make the lower class hate each other using race, religion, color, ethnicity, class etc. so they can control people. Americans think every arab country is terrorist, whites think every black person hates them, blacks think every white person is a racist, Jewish people think every muslim wants them dead, muslims think every Jewish person is a zionist and the list goes on. They know if they dont spread hate, people will unite no matter the differences are.

Was obsessed with Kendrick since O D. Days. As a stupid teen and young adult, so young back then. Hadn't even started life, making lasting mistakes.

Stumbled back into this song after the Drake beef, still somehow know every lyric. But now, that hook hits a WORLD different. Now that I've grown to absolutely despise myself. But hey i gotta get up, life is more than suicide👏👑
Please know you are worthy...please know to someone even a stranger in Chicago..u matter.. I have wrestled closely with depression..... I know that monster well. Love you
I'm 25 and I've been listening to K dot since 17. I'm in a dark place in life. My girlfriend cheated on me and I've destroyed my mind with LSD and shrooms since I was 18. But the only times that I'm somewhat happy is when I'm listening to Kendrick. I just wanna skip to the end. That's it.
@@mistercap420Pray to God like you would talk to a friend. Seek Jesus. It is NOT OVER for you. Today is a new beginning, a new start. Kendrick didn’t have it easy and he kept going - and loved himself. It takes work and you’re here. ❤
Lyrics (from Genius): “[Intro] I done been through a whole lot Trial, tribulation, but I know God Satan wanna put me in a bow tie Pray that the holy water don't go dry As I look around me So many motherfuckers wanna down me But an enemigo never drown me In front of a dirty double-mirror they found me [Chorus] And I love myself (The world is a ghetto with big guns and picket signs) I love myself (But it can do what it want whenever it want, I don't mind) I love myself (He said I gotta get up, life is more than suicide) I love my... self (One day at a time, sun gonna shine) [Verse 1] Everybody lookin' at you crazy (crazy!) What you gonna do? (what you gonna do?) Lift up your head and keep moving (keep moving) Or let the paranoia haunt you (haunt you)? Peace to fashion police, I wear my heart On my sleeve, let the runway start You know the miserable do love company What do you want from me and my scars? Everybody lack confidence, everybody lack confidence How many times my potential was anonymous? How many times the city making me promises? So I promise this [Chorus] I love myself (The world is a ghetto with big guns and picket signs) I love myself (But it can do what it want whenever it want, I don't mind) I love myself (He said I gotta get up, life is more than suicide) I love my... self (One day at a time, sun gonna shine) [Verse 2] They wanna say it's a war outside and a bomb in the street And a gun in the hood, and a mob of police And a rock on the corner, and a line for the fiend And a bottle full of lean, and a model on the scene, yup These days of frustration keep y'all on tuck and rotation I duck these cold faces, post up fi-fie-fo-fum basis Dreams of reality's peace Blow steam in the face of the beast The sky could fall down, the wind could cry now The strong in me, I still smile [Chorus] I love myself (The world is a ghetto with big guns and picket signs) I love myself (But it can do what it want whenever it want, I don't mind) I love myself (He said I gotta get up, life is more than suicide) I love my... self (One day at a time, sun gonna shine) [Bridge] Walk my bare feet (walk my bare feet) Down, down valley deep (down, down valley deep) Fi-fie-fo-fum (fi-fie-fo-fum) (I love myself) My heart undone (my heart undone) (I love myself) [Hook] The world is a ghetto with big guns and picket signs (I love myself) But it can do what it want whenever it want, I don't mind (I love myself) He said I gotta get up, life is more than suicide (I love my... self) One day at a time, sun gonna shine (Hold up) [Verse 3] I went to war last night With an automatic weapon, don't nobody call a medic I'ma do it 'til I get it right I went to war last night I've been dealing with depression ever since an adolescent Duckin' every other blessin', I can never see the message I could never take the lead, I could never bob and weave From a negative and letting them annihilate me And it's evident I'm moving at a meteor speed Finna run into a building, lay my body in the street Keep my money in the ceiling, let my mama know I'm free Give my story to the children and a lesson they can read And the glory to the feeling of the holy unseen Seen enough, make a motherfucker scream, "I love myself!" [Outro] I lost my head I must've misread what the good book said Oh, woes keep me, it's a jungle inside Give myself again 'til the well runs dry”
never appreciated this song when it first came out but now that a struggle with depression and low self esteem singing along to this almost had me in tears. I put myself down everyday but this song helps me understand that i should love myself and everyone of my flaws because deep inside I'm a good person and thats the only thing that matters and screw what everyone thinks.
I used to have severe depression and deeply hated myself to the point of suicide... Thank goodness im not at that point in life anymore, but due to my current crappy situation, I think I might relapse... When I listen to Alright, it reminds me that there is hope and at the end im going to be okay..
Do you have reasons for that ? If not, you have to understand how to change the vision of yourself you had so far. If you have reasons for hating youself, just realise that you're a good person, because you wouldn't hate yourself If you were not
Man real shit. This song helped through one of my deepest days. Suicidal thoughts and all.. but when he said, “He Said I Gotta Get Up. One Day At A Time, The Sun Gon Shine” I knew he was talking to me..
Yeah artist from TDE are famous for putting snippets of beats at the beginning of videos, examples include in ab souls illuminate video it has the beat to a rebellion at the beginning and Kendrick's poetic justice video has a snippet of sherane aka master printer's daughter at the beginning
I come from a if you really want it, you'll find it world. Doesn't seem like you want it bad enough. I can easily tell you listen to " These people". I'm not into promoting on other peoples music. And fact of the matter is, only people I listen to now is Russ and Kayedo.
You were in high school like me, apparently music you like in high school will always be your favorite... thats what people say atleast. Im a year younger then you TPAB game out when i was 15 but anytime i hear it i teleport to high school its crazy, especially the song How Much A Dollar Cost that song makes me miss 2015/2016 so bad
The line "everybody lack confidence, everybody lack confidence" in his song "I", does anybody know what he means by that? Arent there plenty of people who are confident? I consider myself to have confidence. Im confused by this? "Peace to fashion police, I wear my heart On my sleeve, let the runway start You know the miserable do love company What do you want from me and my scars? Everybody lack confidence, everybody lack confidence How many times my potential was anonymous? How many times the city making me promises? So I promise this"
If you like uplifting music and know who Nujabes is, checkout "Soul of Freedom" by Uyama Hiroto. "i" by Kendrick Lamar and that Uyama Hiroto song saved my life 👊
I don't really know what's wrong with me but dang. I've been having days that my only "achievement" is getting up from my bed. This song literally makes me feel that I belong somewhere, that I'm not alone. Thank you Kendrick, your music, and specially this song makes me feel alive. Something that does not happen everyday. This shit hard.
Man if we had more people like Kendrick in the music industry.. he's one of few artists who actually interpret music as an artform and not as a platform to get mega rich from off some mainstream hit bs that appeals to stupid people. Thats why I have so much respect for KDot, he's using his music to deliver messages and to connect with his listeners.. Making hip hop better one song at a time KING KENDRICK
I agree, Kendrick Lamar talks about life, struggle, and brings postitivity into his music, unlike most rappers who disrespect women, talk about money, and how many women they have fucked, and mostly call women or people, hoes, bitches, and niggas, but Kendrick Lamar is different he may change this world.
Its different that's why. I didn't like it when I first heard it 2 years ago but now I love this song. There isn't any trap bullshit on this song, so some people(trap dickriders) won't gravitate to it.
From listening to this at 15 or 16 wanting to commit suicide to now at 21 years old a year and three months into addiction recovery with no desire to kill myself. This song came into my life at such a crucial point, and it'll stay with me forever.
Literally me right now this album came out when i was 20 but i ain’t understand life! Now im 28 gave this album a relisten and this music so damn motivational i love Kendrick Lamar been a huge fan but now IM JUST SAYING HE THE BEST EVER HE KAN GIVE U ANY TYPE OF MUSIC U WANT🔥this album saved me man
TheYellowFlash haha I know I'm obviously not serious. doesn't that make you the stupid one? Oh and by the way, this song and this artist are both SHIT SHIT SHITTY SHIT. I listen to only the god of rap. you couldn't even comprehend.
If Kendrick can battle his suicidal thoughts and depression everyday ever since an adolescent and show us that we are not alone in this struggle and even make a song such as this for us and him to find something in it be it comfort, motivation, escape, inspiration, fighting spirit, whatever it is that this song means to you, when he screams I LOVE MYSELF! I truly feel it in the deepest parts of my psyche. This song and video hold a dear part to me and have gotten me through trying times and I am thankful for Kendrick releasing this.
Didn't even know this was Kendrick when I first heard it. I knew there was a reason I liked it. I greatly appreciate ppl with a platform willing to go against the grain and make songs with substance. No I don't agree with every little thing he says, but I really think Kendrick is more than a rapper, he's truly a music artist. yes, those are two different kinds of ppl (in my opinion of course).
I remember breaking down watching this video around 2015... Years of depression and bad life choices, and this opened up a new way of thinking. Still working on myself, but in a much better place than I was back then. Much respect for making music like this get out the message "one day at a time"!
Alright Now Yes 2 u Working on Yourself Whoo Hoo 4 me it started with each day looking in the mirror n saying I Love u Crystal n Accepting All Things About me the good the bad n the ugly 💛
Tristan Cappo Bruh, what makes you think i'm Broke? Smh! I'm just trying to voice an opinion. -_- I hate people that make Negative Comments like this. Oh, an I'm a Women!
Kendrick is a hall of fame rapper, because he is bigger than himself. Instead of rapping about things that offer instant gratification, he takes a step back and tries to reach a higher level of consciousness. He is a rare specimen that can offer this world so much. We just have to sit back, listen, and convert our potential thoughts to kinetic thoughts. "A piece of yours, a piece of mine, a piece of mind, one nation...under a groove".
yes kendrick is a great lyricists. but not a great rapper. just my opinion. and he suffers from bad instrumental beats and hooks. im talking about tpab album.
It shocks me that Kendrick can make a song about having world peace,staying happy even when bad things happen, and loving yourself. But people still decide to listen to songs about rappers bragging about killing people, doing drugs, crime, ect. And those records sell more and get more views than Kendrick. Just blows my mind.
macmac264 Do you think its people like kendrick who keep blacks from being accepted as Masons since his words do nothing for the advancement of mankind. Swimming Pools
Late Registration To Pimp A Butterfly was one of this generations best albums made, instant classic, every good ear for hiphop knows that is is true, but I can not decide for you
This song gets me through a lot, whenever people try to snake or judge and you gotta go your own way I put this song on for confidence. Just remember when it feels like no one had your back go out there and work hard and grind because only you have yourself
What he really meant when he says i went to war last night it's referring to a song before in the tracklisting "U" where he battles himself even threatening to take his own life while feeling as though he was not worthy of living but in "i" he says "the stronger me will still smile" I myself have been experiencing bouts of deep paralyzing depression, this album (not trying to sound corny ) gives me hope whenever i feel like giving up at life. if anybody in the world sees this thanks if you relate please drop a like so i can feel like typing this wasn't an entire waste of time! :/
I love being a black woman and Kendrick reminded ya'll how beautiful we are. This song is so inspiring and the video was great. I'm glad he took the unexpected route with this song.
YES! I completely agree. The fact that the world wants us to hate ourselves and Kendrick is shouting something so simple, "I love myself!" This is black pride at its core.
ok so in his video he has a plus size black woman just shake her ass so I guess he is letting you know that's all yall are good for, this nigga don't respect women please
i shed a tear every time this song comes on bro. as someone who been thru so much in their life, this song motivates me to keep moving forward and to love myself
You can call me cringe af but I found this song 2 weeks ago and I can’t get it out of my head whenever I make any mistakes and I used to always let it get in my head and now I let everything go so easy so thank you so much for piece of art has given me happiness and joy can’t thank you enough Kendrick❤️
@@mequana i didn’t listen to TPAB until 2019, now it’s my fave album ever. some people will be late but they’ll appreciate the greatness. if anything, time may help. i know people didn’t receive this song too well when it came out
When this song dropped people start thinking that TPABF will be a mainstream mediocre album Years later and this is one of the best if not the best hip hop album
OM99 its cus people are sheep, they cant enjoy things for what they really are or unless someone tells them to enjoy it, this whole album was a revolution wether the masses liked it or not
who cares if this album didn't change the game. TPAB is on another level of artistic vision that other rappers only dream of achieving. A certified classic.
@@rosaatomica9976 thats not the case for TPAB alot of people like the album because its actually really good i mean Kendrick lamar got awards from the government my guy
@@blankieplays1350 na man, i meant the before not the after, as in people looked at it with prejudice saying it wouldnt be as good as gkmc but where is he now, 3 classics and hopefully a fourth one on the way, but bet these people think he fell off cus he wants a more rock influenced rap album instead of what everybody else is making, people just need to learn to listen to the music first and decide if they like it on their own
This song needs to be on the next GTA game. GTA isn't the same without at least one Kendrick Lamar song. Most of the time I just like fucking with the cops and driving away from them. This is a perfect song to escape the cops in my eyes
I'm glad he made this song cuz there's a lot of people (including myself) who came from or still in a dark spot in life and can't see shit positive. So even if all u already happy people don't feel it I can and that's all that matters.
I am loving the entire video from beginning to end! Kendrick can move!!! Mr. Biggs was a power move. The King does it again! He is audible as hell! Beast!
Top 5 Dishwashing Tablets: 1. Finish (always sparkles after the wash) 2. Earthwise (good for the environment) 3. Fairy (gets rid of tough grease and grime really well) 4. Cascade (good all around) 5. Fortune (cheap and good at making dishes look new
It’s funny how our rappers who are not from the hood and struggle make negative music and act all gangsta but Kendrick who is from the hood and had struggle makes positive music that’s why he’s the goat

He definitely studied Music Theory for TPAB. All the beats are those everlasting feel good Real instruments orchestrated. No drum loop packs
This beat is The Isley Brothers- "Who's that lady" from 1973.

Kendrick Lamar is timeless. KING of STREETS.
Lyrics (from Genius):
“[Intro]
I done been through a whole lot
Trial, tribulation, but I know God
Satan wanna put me in a bow tie
Pray that the holy water don't go dry
As I look around me
So many motherfuckers wanna down me
But an enemigo never drown me
In front of a dirty double-mirror they found me
[Chorus]
And I love myself
(The world is a ghetto with big guns and picket signs)
I love myself
(But it can do what it want whenever it want, I don't mind)
I love myself
(He said I gotta get up, life is more than suicide)
I love my... self
(One day at a time, sun gonna shine)
[Verse 1]
Everybody lookin' at you crazy (crazy!)
What you gonna do? (what you gonna do?)
Lift up your head and keep moving (keep moving)
Or let the paranoia haunt you (haunt you)?
Peace to fashion police, I wear my heart
On my sleeve, let the runway start
You know the miserable do love company
What do you want from me and my scars?
Everybody lack confidence, everybody lack confidence
How many times my potential was anonymous?
How many times the city making me promises?
So I promise this
[Chorus]
I love myself
(The world is a ghetto with big guns and picket signs)
I love myself
(But it can do what it want whenever it want, I don't mind)
I love myself
(He said I gotta get up, life is more than suicide)
I love my... self
(One day at a time, sun gonna shine)
[Verse 2]
They wanna say it's a war outside and a bomb in the street
And a gun in the hood, and a mob of police
And a rock on the corner, and a line for the fiend
And a bottle full of lean, and a model on the scene, yup
These days of frustration keep y'all on tuck and rotation
I duck these cold faces, post up fi-fie-fo-fum basis
Dreams of reality's peace
Blow steam in the face of the beast
The sky could fall down, the wind could cry now
The strong in me, I still smile
[Chorus]
I love myself
(The world is a ghetto with big guns and picket signs)
I love myself
(But it can do what it want whenever it want, I don't mind)
I love myself
(He said I gotta get up, life is more than suicide)
I love my... self
(One day at a time, sun gonna shine)
[Bridge]
Walk my bare feet (walk my bare feet)
Down, down valley deep (down, down valley deep)
Fi-fie-fo-fum (fi-fie-fo-fum) (I love myself)
My heart undone (my heart undone) (I love myself)
[Hook]
The world is a ghetto with big guns and picket signs
(I love myself)
But it can do what it want whenever it want, I don't mind
(I love myself)
He said I gotta get up, life is more than suicide
(I love my... self)
One day at a time, sun gonna shine
(Hold up)
[Verse 3]
I went to war last night
With an automatic weapon, don't nobody call a medic
I'ma do it 'til I get it right
I went to war last night
I've been dealing with depression ever since an adolescent
Duckin' every other blessin', I can never see the message
I could never take the lead, I could never bob and weave
From a negative and letting them annihilate me
And it's evident I'm moving at a meteor speed
Finna run into a building, lay my body in the street
Keep my money in the ceiling, let my mama know I'm free
Give my story to the children and a lesson they can read
And the glory to the feeling of the holy unseen
Seen enough, make a motherfucker scream, "I love myself!"
[Outro]
I lost my head
I must've misread what the good book said
Oh, woes keep me, it's a jungle inside
Give myself again 'til the well runs dry”
thank u

kendrick is not the new tupac, or the new biggie, kendrick is kendrick, he will always be remembered as "The man who saved hip hop"
Alan Garcia not really.
i gotta go with og questions answers on this one. K dot didnt save hip hop, he resurrected it
Alan Garcia Kendrick is pop music at its purest. just because someone rhymes does not make it hip hop
John Diamond lmao say that to drake fans this song specifically might be more pop oriented but all his other songs are our hip hop
He needs to make another album soon, rap is getting out of hand again.
never appreciated this song when it first came out but now that a struggle with depression and low self esteem singing along to this almost had me in tears. I put myself down everyday but this song helps me understand that i should love myself and everyone of my flaws because deep inside I'm a good person and thats the only thing that matters and screw what everyone thinks.
+chillhomie7 That last verse doe dude
I used to have severe depression and deeply hated myself to the point of suicide... Thank goodness im not at that point in life anymore, but due to my current crappy situation, I think I might relapse... When I listen to Alright, it reminds me that there is hope and at the end im going to be okay..
💯
This song has the opposite effect on me. This song reminds me that I'm supposed love myself, but the fact that i don't just makes me feel worst.
Do you have reasons for that ? If not, you have to understand how to change the vision of yourself you had so far. If you have reasons for hating youself, just realise that you're a good person, because you wouldn't hate yourself If you were not
When he says been dealing with depression ever since adolescence really gets me

I don't think he raps to it but it's a Flying Lotus tune go check out his new album "You're Dead" if you like that.

And I love the sound of it

Yeah artist from TDE are famous for putting snippets of beats at the beginning of videos, examples include in ab souls illuminate video it has the beat to a rebellion at the beginning and Kendrick's poetic justice video has a snippet of sherane aka master printer's daughter at the beginning
The level of creativity and inspiration in this track and video is unreal

Kendrick is the G.O.A.T
I was 16 when TPAB came out, I'm 24 now, this album changed my mental and I still pray the holy water never runs dry. CA anthem ty Mr. Morale!
You were in high school like me, apparently music you like in high school will always be your favorite... thats what people say atleast. Im a year younger then you TPAB game out when i was 15 but anytime i hear it i teleport to high school its crazy, especially the song How Much A Dollar Cost that song makes me miss 2015/2016 so bad

Someone who agrees with me, wasn't feeling it at 1st but after I saw the video was doing that dance all the time.
Kendrick feeds my soul and makes me want to be the best version of myself. Thank you for your high vibration art.

E Krenz too right bro
especially this whole mess riot and pandemic

E Krenz it needs this song and sirens - denzel curry
Nah just i love my self a lot
Everybody lacks confidence. Best line in this song
the next line “how many times my potential was anonymous” was fire too
How in da beginning "Satan wanna put me in a bow tie. Pray that the holy water don't go dry"
Man, it's the most generic line from the song, how is it the best?
The line "everybody lack confidence, everybody lack confidence" in his song "I", does anybody know what he means by that? Arent there plenty of people who are confident? I consider myself to have confidence. Im confused by this?
"Peace to fashion police, I wear my heart
On my sleeve, let the runway start

and i realized this was a reference to this song
accidentally typed "i" in the search bar

This song literally makes me feel that I belong somewhere, that I'm not alone. Thank you Kendrick, your music, and specially this song makes me feel alive. Something that does not happen everyday.
This shit hard.
I believe you understand what I ask for
ay man i understand you. hope you feel better, one day at a time you got this!
One day at a time, sun gon' shine
Getting up from bed IS an achievement when you are going through tough times. Sending you love brother, you'll come right through this and rise up.
Your not the only one
I too feel that way
I hope you surpassed that time and are doing great
Man if we had more people like Kendrick in the music industry.. he's one of few artists who actually interpret music as an artform and not as a platform to get mega rich from off some mainstream hit bs that appeals to stupid people. Thats why I have so much respect for KDot, he's using his music to deliver messages and to connect with his listeners.. Making hip hop better one song at a time KING KENDRICK
I agree
And he ain't gotta cross dress to do so
Riley Aitken angelyka04 TrendziSco if you aint up on him already, check that Mick Jenkins - the Waters mixtape. Thank me later
Logic is an honorable mention...
I agree, Kendrick Lamar talks about life, struggle, and brings postitivity into his music, unlike most rappers who disrespect women, talk about money, and how many women they have fucked, and mostly call women or people, hoes, bitches, and niggas, but Kendrick Lamar is different he may change this world.
Who randomly just thought of listening to this song?
Jared yup
I forgot about the funky ass opening takes me back to simpler times that’s what I came here for

Huey Freeman Yes my little sheep. yes you do.
dark format then why did you listen to this hm?
If Kendrick can battle his suicidal thoughts and depression everyday ever since an adolescent and show us that we are not alone in this struggle and even make a song such as this for us and him to find something in it be it comfort, motivation, escape, inspiration, fighting spirit, whatever it is that this song means to you, when he screams I LOVE MYSELF! I truly feel it in the deepest parts of my psyche. This song and video hold a dear part to me and have gotten me through trying times and I am thankful for Kendrick releasing this.
I'm crying listening to this right now this man is God sent hopefully he stays Kendrick Lamar 💯🖤🤎💪🏿🤘🏿🙏🏿🤙🏿🤞🏿🤟🏿
Didn't even know this was Kendrick when I first heard it. I knew there was a reason I liked it. I greatly appreciate ppl with a platform willing to go against the grain and make songs with substance. No I don't agree with every little thing he says, but I really think Kendrick is more than a rapper, he's truly a music artist. yes, those are two different kinds of ppl (in my opinion of course).
I see your opinion as a fact. And that's because everyone can be a rapper with some practice. But you must really love music to become a music artist.
Great words
Agreed!

Kendrick is a hall of fame rapper, because he is bigger than himself. Instead of rapping about things that offer instant gratification, he takes a step back and tries to reach a higher level of consciousness. He is a rare specimen that can offer this world so much. We just have to sit back, listen, and convert our potential thoughts to kinetic thoughts. "A piece of yours, a piece of mine, a piece of mind, one nation...under a groove".

What he really meant when he says i went to war last night it's referring to a song before in the tracklisting "U" where he battles himself even threatening to take his own life while feeling as though he was not worthy of living but in "i" he says "the stronger me will still smile" I myself have been experiencing bouts of deep paralyzing depression, this album (not trying to sound corny ) gives me hope whenever i feel like giving up at life. if anybody in the world sees this thanks if you relate please drop a like so i can feel like typing this wasn't an entire waste of time! :/

This song needs to be on the next GTA game. GTA isn't the same without at least one Kendrick Lamar song. Most of the time I just like fucking with the cops and driving away from them. This is a perfect song to escape the cops in my eyes

"The Sky could fall down, the wind could cry now, the strong in me I still smile."
I'm glad he made this song cuz there's a lot of people (including myself) who came from or still in a dark spot in life and can't see shit positive.
So even if all u already happy people don't feel it I can and that's all that matters.
