ill never understand why people think he sold out with DAMN when he clearly wanted his message to reach a larger audience
Yeah good point, this was my introduction to kendrick so it must've worked
Because it wasn't as good.
@@sfdko3291 compared to tpab and gkmc yeah, but compared to the average album it's so fucking good
@@sfdko3291 you have to really listen to the album to understand, that’s how it goes with all of Kendrick’s music. People said that about tpab, people said that about damn., and people are saying that about mmatbs. Just take your time on his music.
@@sfdko3291 lol in your opinion. In my opinion its his second best
amazing deep dive, kendrick is my personal favorite rapper. great video, keep them coming!
Cheers man, mr morale vid coming soon :)
@@mintrommovies AYYY IM HYPED!!
Swear Kendrick could have saved some of society but he’s only him
Kendrick is a lyrical genius
co creation hes in his energy and he's doing it in the now divinely guided your example
Wickedness or weakness is perhaps the question between am I making my bad(detrimental) decisions in life because I am inherently wicked or just too weak to get out!!!
Maybe Kanye west is not crazy and there is an evil system!!
but he still portraying the one eye Shepard and Masonic imaginary never the less.
He signed to a label so yeah, ofc he gonna be whored out by those labels that push that imagery, if u listen to his new album he completely compromised and deconstructed his faith and is pushing weird new agey stuff. In the album damn it was made to paint a picture of his life being a crossroad and how he feels about this, but now it seems he didn’t choose the right path unfortunately @ the end of the day who really knows what he is going through tho, if we care bout these folks the most we can do is pray. But it’s unfortunate,
The covert sellout
Don’t be blind. He’s warning people people but don’t forget he along with every mainstream celebrity sold their souls.
And no. Yah does not mean God in ancient Hebrew. Yahweh does
Beautiful video
I think damn is Kendrick’s most ambiguous album, all of his albums leave us with a certain conclusion or answer but with damn it’s left to our interpretation as the listener. The way I see it is that the main message of damn is that you can’t make the world a better place until you make yourself a better person, hence why at the start of the album he dies but as he goes from wickedness to weakness e.g. pride to humble, lust to love, fear to god, until we get to the end he lives in the final song duckworth by avoiding death due to his dad doing good deeds having good karma from it, but if you play the album backwards which Kendrick said you could Kendrick goes from god to fear, love to lust, humble to pride until he dies at the beginning on blood. Tbh I can understand why he’d feel this way, coming of the most critically acclaimed and important album not only of the year but probably of the decade he finally thought his message would be heard from tpab, but when he saw what happened with blm, the amount of news channels misconstrueding his message and the fact that Donald trump became president which he references a lot on damn, he feels that he’s failed the world because he wasn’t that good of person and hence the message probably felt fake to him. Damn is not Kendrick selling out, it’s him depicting his personal struggles on a philosophical scale to the largest audience possible.
Yeah listening in reverse order definitely makes it feel like a darker album
Black folks love trump
Damn is the most straight forward and easiest album to listen to that he's come out with. It was the most personal album until MMTBS.
That’s because he didn’t have the answers himself , this album was him basically being lost
300th like
It makes me glad to know that people are still talking about DAMN
I like to mix it in a playlist with his new album. Most of it is more relevant than ever.
Y’all should read the Bible. That has everything you need.
Kendrick is amazing. He was my Real introduction to music. Life changing.
Same his stuff got me into rap
@@mintrommovies ❤️❤️❤️ btw amazing video, thank you for your content
W
To me, Kendrick is the best rapper of the century.
@@JayMehKay definitely
The thing that blows my mind is that even as a kid some 13 years old and without really understanding what the lyrics really meant, Kendrick still slapped
That's cause kendrick has a real knack for making lyrically dense, conceptual music that's still able to appeal to a mainstream audience
I was saying this recently to my friends about TPAB
Greatest artist of all time
You’re still a kid
He was plantings seeds in that young mind. Gratitude for fertile soil
I love Kendrick and I always have. I “argue” with my husband all the time how legendary a artist this man is. He has always been very real and conscious in his music no matter how big he has gotten and can always appreciate that!
If he isn’t capable of seeing that kendrick is an objectively brilliant artist he isnt the one
So mocking Jesus Christ in his latest album is okay?
@@yo_itsjoshy how was he mocking Jesus?
@@yo_itsjoshy He wasn't mocking Jesus, it's an allusion to how some people think Kendrick is their savior. In the track Savior, he literally says: "Kendrick made you think about it, but he is not your savior." It's also a reference to how Kendrick is divine in the music industry. If you think Jesus would be mad at Kendrick for that, then you need to read the scripture more.
@@Bagbonkya but at the same time, he talks about stuff in the new album that does not allude to him being Christian anymore. Such as calling God a “tree” or something along the lines of that I kinda forgot, but I need to go back and find it.
I still cant believe how underappreciated this album is. Its so trippy and dystopic at times and Kendrick really left me with a message that things are NOT OK at that time, and they still aren't in many ways but I have to say the way the album impacted me when it came out was profound and chilling. It also makes Mr Morale that much more impressive. Anyway, good work, thanks for giving this album proper respect.
edit: i always felt like people that didn't like this album really didnt appreciate Kendrick, and only fucked with him after the accolades he recieved from TPAB, and those folks didnt like the sound of DAMN because they probably didnt really listen to hip hop and were more backpackers types trying to look like they have diverse taste so they say they appreciate TPAB....one of the MAIN things that makes Kendrick Lamar great is his ability to blend conscious rap and mainstream rap....no one has ever done this on the level he has. So for people to say he went too mainstream on this project is just so ignorant to me it has always bothered me lol. anyway, namaste
Under appreciated? He won one of the most prestigious award for this album, and was the only rapper to ever do it
Not the last days but a new beginning.. Get your spirits up people.
Its the last days for white people
Really? Where have you been??
@@tnj4ever yes really
@@taharka3897 okay lol. Wake up People!
FACTS
DAMN is still my fav Kendrick album. I know, I know, TPAB is a masterpiece, but I adore the messages and concepts that DAMN carries within itself.
It would be really dope if like they’ve done with Jay z and Rhianna and various other rappers, to hear these albums of kendreds music played in reverse! Just to hear his inner spirits! That would be dope!
DAMN. Is my personal favorite from kendrick cause when it released i was in my worst state, life ain't working out, contemplating on my future, my families not in a good state, lost my grandma, overall it just the worst. This album is not a healing for me but rather it remind me that life is life you can lost everything in a blink of an eye, i'm better nowaday but i still went back to this album time to time to served as a reminder for me.
I hate that people say we are in the last days . Ppl have been saying that for decades I wish we would just live life and actually wait instead of tryna rush the end 🤫
Ong
We are last days... if 1950s music, 1970s music, 1980s music doesn't come back...... then we are in the last days
Exactly!
Lucy=Lucifer. It IS the devil that is trying to tempt Kendrick, not a representation. If someone already commented that, my fault.
@@wockhardt69 video said it was implied, but it's quite honestly one of his more on-the-nose metaphors.
For sale? Was the song that inspired me to give my life to Christ. Actually it was “God is Gangsta” music video in particular. I watched the bud three or four times,, Sat there without much conflicting thought , And went on my social media’s and told everyone I was giving my life to Christ, I don’t know anything and I’ve been lying to people about enlightenment. That was a crazy day
Hey, just want to tell you to keep it up.
I know you don't get as much views as you deserve for the amount of work you put in, and I know it's a lot, but you clearly have a nack for understanding substructures of whatever you're trying to break down.
Also, I'm glad that RUclips is seemingly suggesting small channels to me again.
Love the vid! And as a new subscriber, can't wait for more!
Writing my next video now and reading this just gave me a burst of motivation, thanks dude
I echo this comment, well done. Keep em coming. 💯 I'm subscribed now too
Maybe his split personality came from what people call “selling your soul”.
There’s plenty of artists at that level of fame or influence talking about it.
Probably one side is his true soul and personality and the other side are the demons who he allowed inside.
I really encourage y’all to listen to other artists stories and situations!
I think it’s more so just the pursuit of hedonism vs being loyal to his moral values. Which in a sense is basically what you’re saying
Is it me or does it seem like ranking Kendrick's albums feel like injustice
5 years old? Damn. Still a great album for me.
I think the reason why some of Kendrick’s albums haven’t ‘connected’ as well is because people are too obsessed with making comparisons, rather than just embracing each album as it’s own entity. People are always looking to prove a point about which album was better, or which album was more ‘commercial’.
Keep doing what you’re doing, dude. You’re so well spoken and articulated. Coming from a musician’s background too, your attention to detail is extremely rare. Another great video❤
Thanks man I appreciate the support!!
ARTICULATE! NOT ARTICULATED!
DAMN is easily my favorite album from Kendrick. Not only because it's easy to listen to but also because of it's allegorical meaning and duality and the crazy amounts of themes and interpretations anyone can make for this album. Well crafted album, enjoyed your outlook and perspective on the project.
Revelations isn’t a single event taking places arcoss the world at one time but is rather the events taking place in an individuals life at some point in their journey
ayo
Well said
Beautiful album! Pride was my favorite track due to how layered it is but the whole piece was ahead of its time.
Really well done can't wait to hear your thoughts on Mr Morale
You did your thing on this breakdown. True genuine soul Kendrick Lamar is. God bless his mom and his folks. God bless the supporters. We out here YAH way 🤲🏼
Was my favorite album of kendrick and have been playing it ever since he's dropped it ,we all need to better ourselves repent and ask for forgiveness for our sins and be good to one another ,it's easier to hate than to love
TPAB is a top 3 best rap album released in the last decade. Highly underrated.
I love you Kendrick...whole heart! This man's mind is brilliant. 🖤
KENDRICK IS A REAL ONE!!!💯 Kendrick is a proper inspirational guy I swear got some of the realist lyrics and deep concepts
This video is proper insightful to one of the best videos I've seen on RUclips for a while big up to yourself for this deep dive 🙌🏾
Religion has been telling us the world is ending for thousands of years. It's not. Humanity lost it's way and may not make it, but the world will be just fine.
When humans die out, its the end of the world for us (humans) for who religion was created
Kendrick’s honesty and self-reflections leads him into all truth about him, life and death, good and evil, right and wrong🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🥰🥰🥰🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
He constantly mocks God, ppl with massive influence burn millions of minds that's a large bill to pay for even if they do have some good tracks or performances. In scriptures women sin by dressing a certain way bc they make other men sin imagine men that have millions of followers.
We’re always on our last days. Our lives can end in an instant. It always the last day for somebody, and people have speculated and awaited for the last days, but guess what. Civilizations have come and gone, floods, fire, and all kinds of apocalyptic famines and catastrophes have happened since life began. It’s been through chaos and destruction that life was born. It’s alway our last days.
Kendrick is perfect . He’s exactly what our pioneers and stars of yesterday hoped for . Someone to carry the torch … unfortunately most of this generation is just trying to burn the game down with that same torch but luckily kenny picks it up every now and then
he is not your savior
@@knowun8855 yes , he made that clear in his last album lol
Bro what are you talking about?? The ideas of him or anything being perfect and him carrying the torch are things he pushed back against on Mr Morale. "I am not your savior" "I choose me I'm sorry" "you can't please everybody". I mean, these lines are right infront of you and you still think these things?? Makes no sense.
@@tadknuf7979 I don’t mean him as a person . I meant him as an artist , how did you take this so literal 😆😆 legends of yesterday would gladly appoint him the leader of todays hip hop .
@@Zaddy_Dynamite his also said he was god on the song with baby keem
Brotha nothing is going to happen I’ve been waiting for years! And nothing . The world only ends for the ones that die .
He know he a Hebrew Israelite, HE SOLD OUT 🤣 💯% FACTS!!!!👋
Love the VIDEO ESSAY concept. Keep creating brother.
It's not my favourite Kendrick album, but it is very close to being a masterpiece.
Do you guys remember the movie Crash? That was one of the movies that made me open my eyes, that my actions in a single moment can effect someone forever. I highly recommend.
He's a puppet. Wonder why these rappers speak like this after giving up to booty bandits and selling themselves and thier morality to the executives of the business. They cannot sell thoer souls because it belongs to the creator. He needs to serve humanity better and be selfless. Time will be up for him when the entity he sold out to, will collect.
Love 💕 Kendrick Lamar's way he discri the truth of the whole matter
I always felt that this album was Kendrick answering for his sins at the pearly gates.
"To sell your soul to the devil, you must kill whom and what you love the most.
🥂🍾
I don’t listen to secular music anymore, it’s dangerous. 2 months ago I listened, today I just can’t anymore it’s disgusting. I wouldn’t do it if I were you, but then again you decide which God you want to serve. I want to serve the One that loves and forgives me for my sins and the One who can save my soul.
Amen indeed
Kendrick sold his soul and is wrestling with it like most believers who go into the music
Thank you for helping me understand the track "BLOOD". I mean....... DAMN (Pun definitely intended lol). I am usually more analytical than this. I thought that Kendrick was being straightforward. Your interpretation makes so much sense.
I love Kendrick 1 of the most underrated artists of all time and he speaks truth in music
Sure, Lust&Love, as well as Pride&Humble are supposed to be opposite of each other. But i’ve never seen someone mention how God&Duckworth are opposites as well. It’s God, and Man. God depicts someone with a perfect attitude and feeling unstoppable, like God. But Duckworth tells a very human story, one that wouldn’t be the same if Kendrick, His dad, or Top Dawg were God. For me, it’s solidified by the fact that both songs are the same length.
YAH Kendrick says call him a Israelite not black anymore. Same thing kanye..nick cannon..kyrie and many others are saying or implying.
Psalms 68:4
Sing to God, sing praises to His name; Extol Him who rides on the clouds, By His name (YAH), And rejoice before Him.
The blind woman represents the Israel and him telling black people we Hebrews is him helping us but getting killed by our oppressors for helping his people. Simplified in truth Praise the GOD OF ABRAHAM ISAAC & JACOB ONLY
We definitely are in end times... if yall dont wanna believe I feel sad 4 u... Biblical events r coming to pass and have been... Its gonna get bad... Plesse repent I promise hell is somewhere u dont wanna go FOREVER
i would say that section 80 good kid and tpab are part of a trilogy
damn is a middle point
and mr morale is a new start for kendrick
the analysis in the video is so in depth but explained so well
😳 watch the tongue of him Tho and whoever. Art of war. He cute but command sense on a certain level. Those deeply following him may find it unique etc but its not. And he knows he can tell them things and it not lead them to good cause they dont over stand.
Good vid
I think it was Paul that said, with my mind I desire to serve GOD. But in members I notice another law.when I want to do good,evil is right there with me.
“At peace with (himself)?!” He better be making peace with the Lord God of Heaven
"Yah" is short for Yahuah, the Creator, our Elohim, the El of Abraham from the Bible. The Elohim of the Hebrews.
😝😝😝😝😝😝 Every feels that because that what they want us to feel. We ain't got shit to worry about but, y'all on the other hand. 🙄
Kendrick is part of the same system he’s talking about in the song / who does he answers to - he answer a to the same people that are trashing Kanye and Khari and Dave shapell
still think about the outro to DNA
such an unrivaled anger.
Kendricks Dan album he comes out with his new knowledge of him being an Israelite
As a aspiring wordsmith & artist I highly look Up to This master of the art! 🙏🏽🔥
there's mixed emotions on kendricks songs the term GOD is a title but which God do you serve..some songs are questionable others make sense..all the songs go though lol..artistry wise..can't deny his talent
"Most rappers hoping the world end so they won't have to drop another album." ~ Big KRIT
Jesus Christ
Is
The only GOD
Everyone else are demons aka sinners
He is one of them he SOLD HIS SOUL!!! HE IS I THE MEDIA. HELLO GUYS
I know that for some people Good kid maad city or to pimp a butterfly will always be the best kendrick album and damn. is a good but not as good album but for me damn. will always be my favourite kendrick album and easily a top 3 album of all time. Its the kendrick album i revisit the most and i absolutely love all the themes that are strung through the album.
I'm sorry Sir, but as black women in this black skin, living this black life here in amerikkka you have no ideas what your talking about, like no ideal, yes the ending of Esua will start next year but it's a new era for us, js
Yea he definitely missed the mark and didn't get the message.
I feel like the biblical apocalypse is a metaphor of an incoming battle
Wow bro , this was so well analyzed and put together I picked up on about half the thing you mentioned prior to this video and thought I was woke haha but the way you broke this down was even more in depth and detail than when I was trying to put the pieces together myself ,ithink beside him trying to warn us he's also leading by example and trying to better himself and set his demons straight before its too late as he says in his new song , therefore he has always been my favorite artist for this reason he will help and encourage so many people to better themselves and heal and to right our wrongs w his newest album which is necessary once judgement day come and we all face the day he is not our savior but is here for a reason to help his/our people wake up and get prepared,anyone reading this please research the euphrates river
Yeah only is 0:24 Kendrick interviews 2pac this generation is doy doy r3tarded
I’m agnostic but I guess we will see. If demons come out that river and decimate a third of the population then shit. However that’s not necessarily a crazy prophecy. It’s a river. It’s bound to dry up eventually.
Very in-depth analysis great video! I love the Pulp Fiction poster in the back by the way favorite movie of all time
Sorry but there is to much occult symbolism in today music
“10” in the tarot means “the end”….”10 is on the way”
dont forget kendrick is still a lucifarian puppet
That’s a Gemini for u…and he’s a Libra rising?! Duality at its best
What you failed to mention is that his trouser is rolled up on one leg , symbolically this is an initiate to masonry just like LL in flavour remix song of flavour in the ear freshly initiated LL BUSTA AND CREW
this analysis made me appreciate the album much more, thank you
great video man, keep up the great work 🙌
Thanks I love the red hood pfp
You have a good side in the bad side it’s a war inside your head. Embrace both one of them can save your life.
Gonna go re listen to the whole album now ✌️
Lust isn’t about him it’s about the world and how ppl are doing in the world how did u not see that
Damn i see why he takes forever to drop new music we missing jewels 💎 drop from his old albums
I encourage everyone who sees this to seek God and repent from your life of sin, he loves you and he wants you in his kingdom when you die. Seek him before it's too late and read the bible.
But why did he create hell if he loves us
Lmao I didn't expect you to look like that, u handsome man
the glazing in this video is krazy
Kendrick Lamar is THE poet of THIS GENERATION
He a Gemini like the great 2-Pac
I love love love this analysis. You talk so much about what I was thinking when I listen to this album. But, you also revealed new shit, I didn’t recognize.
This is Kendrick’s greatest body of work PERIOD
🙏🏾❤️
Kendrick Lamar makes Bryant Gumbel look like Malcolm X.
I'm Wayne Brady B!tch!!! 😆 🤣 😂
Could you imagine if DMX Kendrick Lamar Joyner Lucas and J Cole made a song together 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
He sold his soul to the devil.
Listening to the album Forward is Kendrick choosing Weakness finding God at the end of the album. And life being spared. The gunshot happens first then you hear him say “so I was taking a walk the other day”. His life was spared. But when listening to the album backwards Kendrick loses his dad and he falls into wickedness going further away from “GOD”(the song on the album). Then he dies at the end being DAMNED… which makes you say….. DAMN.
