    I'm beyond sick of comments stating hotline bling has more views than Kendrick's video. I'm pretty sure more people prefer soda as opposed to water, but that doesn't make it good for you.

    I’ve watched this video many times and I’m just finally understanding the metaphor of “these walls” representing both the walls of a woman and the walls that society has cast around Kendrick as a black artist. Every line essentially has two meanings with this in mind. And the scene with Terry Crews is particularly metaphorical. “The walls” here plays on the audience’s expectation of Crews planning to commit a potentially violent act for revenge, but ultimately ends up with Crews and Lamar entertaining an audience with a heavily commercialized song (marginalized black art). These are the walls, both the audience’s expectation of a violent act, and the urge to push other black performers aside to perform a commercialized and marginalized form of black art, which is also to the audience’s unconsciously biased expectations. Kendrick’s verses are ultimately centered around these walls that he has to navigate in his life. The line “Every time I come around, demolition might crush” encapsulates how he feels at his current stage in life, as both a man sexually, and as an artist in breaking the walls that society has cast around him. Man I’m obsessed with this…

    My interpretation of the talent show scene: In the car, Kendrick tells Terry Crews that they're going to "get the money and get out." So they're representing rappers who steal the spotlight by making one catchy hit song, become part of mainstream culture for a little bit, then make their money and disappear afterwards.
    or it could also be Kendrick Lamar just having fun.

    @kopanomoss5752 2 года назад +457

    The title “These Walls” plays off the familiar expression “if these walls could talk…” Kendrick’s complex wordplay introduces layered metaphorical and literal walls-the “walls” of a woman’s vagina, the walls of a prison cell, and ultimately the “walls” of his mind and conscience. Kendrick uses this conceit to explore sex, abuse, his own career, his enemies, and the human psyche.
    The song narrates Kendrick having sex with a woman who has children with a man in jail for killing one of Kendrick’s friends. Kendrick views this as an act of revenge for his slain friend, but he also has a bad conscience about using his fame and power to seduce someone for that purpose.
    Ultimately “these walls” represent being imprisoned by the entire situation: an allegory for a cycle of murder, lust, seduction, revenge and guilt.

    • @josephwalsh3026
      @josephwalsh3026 Год назад +1

      I only listened to tpab 4 months ago just because I was only 8 years old when it came out and I only got into Kendrick in September. I wish I was old enough to be there and be able to have listened to it day one and have the time to have tried to figure out all the meanings to the album by myself. However it's still amazing just to see how many people have been affected by the album and are still learning new things about it. It's truly one of the best rap albums of all time and in my opinion one of the best albums ever in general. I also would say that gkmc is still very close to the lever of tpab and it deserves more love than it really gets. These walls is definitely one of my favorite songs by him and it definitely has the best music video I personally have ever seen. Kendrick is truly one of the best artists ever and in my own opinion he is my personal favorite.

    A black comedy. This video is making light of how comedic we can be enslaving ourselves within walls.
    The person telling the story is locked inside the prison walls represents the guy who killed Kendrick's friend and now that he is locked inside Kendrick is smashing his girl.
    The pink walls he talking about is the vagina and sex and how it is played in the strip clubs or when famous people come around.
    And lastly the scene with Terry Crews shows how we mentally box ourselves in with walls but listening to music without much substance. An industry saturated w/o a message, "just get the money quick and leave" something that Kendrick is not about.
