    Okay, my “be a man” comment may be a little over dramatic, lol. I like what some of you are saying, that it means to stand up for yourself, be a more resilient person, etc. It’s a phrase that can mean anything you want it to, and in this context, I wanted to describe the toxic version of it. I should’ve made that more clear and not spun it in a way that “be a man” can only mean one thing. Thank you all for watching - I love seeing everyone’s interpretations and it’s one of the great things about art!

    There's something poetic about hip hop's "boogieman" being a dude who confronts his trauma and shortcomings. The thing the other rappers are really afraid of isn't kendrick himself it's the fact that Kendrick can show them themselves in the mirror and what’s worse that what he shows them is true.

    Mr Morale and the Big Steppers is going to go down in history as not just a great album, but an important album. The kind that people will go back to and re-discover and re-interpret again and again and remain in their lives and minds and hearts. People just did not understand it when it came out. They wanted aggressive Kendrick. They were not prepared to be hit by a Black man doing introspective, self-reflection about his own trauma and the generational trauma of his family, that is a mirror to most men and their families. If the only thing to come out of the Drake beef is people finally realizing Drake is a s*x freak and a culture vulture of the highest degree AND rediscovering Kendrick's catalogue (and esp reviewing Mr Morale), then I would be satisfied.

    I had listened to this album in part for the first time last year. I had been mad at Kendrick over a terrible concert experience back in the DAMN tour and skipped out on Mr.Morale. This song came on randomly on a radio I listened and man it hit me being raised by a mom and 2 older sisters. I felt it many times told I was the man of the house at 8 and going on and it felt like I’ve always had so much weight on me. This song helped me feel good knowing there’s plenty of us going through it and fighting on. Made me listen to the whole album. As I’m now 27 and still fighting bad habits and working on myself and bettering myself for family and me.😊

    This album came out the Friday after Mothers Day. I had been avoiding my family for emotional reasons I couldn’t understand. I felt so guilty for not calling my mom, I didn’t want to speak to my dad, just past resentment from childhood issues bubbling inside me. As soon as I got off work I turned this album on and in the first few songs it says maybe you need some therapy. I called my mom and tried to explain to her how I was feeling and why I didn’t call but I didn’t put it into words. For some reason I knew it had to do with resentment towards my dad. I told her I may need to talk to someone, and she tells that she does too! And soon I start tearing up and I could hear her tearing up through the phone. After I hung up I listened to Father Time for the first time and I’m just crying. After that I booked my first therapy session and have been on my healing journey ever since. All thanks to God for sending me Kendrick’s music.

      I’m ashamed of my cowardice and avoidance. I’m 30 and I’ve been isolating myself on and off throughout my 20s. It’s catching up to me and I need to face it. I’m deeply afraid I won’t get the apology, empathy, and love that I want from them, so I put it off forever.

    6:40 I believe that line is about Kendrick playing basketball against his dad, not his friends. His dad wouldn’t go easy on him and he would lose quite often, which explains what his mom said. He’s saying that every time he lost against his dad, he didn’t wanna go home, so he would just stay outside with his friends

      "Oh, this the part, he breaks my humility just for practice
      Tactics we learned together, sore losers forever, daddy issues"
      he grew up accepting the tough love that his father taught him because he saw the 'lessons' as something that his father learned from his grandfather, and felt a sense of bonding. this is reinforced by the next verse where he says he yearns for an "i love you", a more direct type of love from his dad, but instead he only received tough love

Just goes to show how important it is to form your own opinion. I had been touting Mr. Morale as an amazing collection of music, art and growth personified to any friends and family that would listen - though I admit with age I have grown to most appreciate story-driven, introspective rap. Glad to know it is now getting the love it deserves.

    you skipped the line that hit the most, but "Everything he didn't want was everything I was" while self explanatory, it's such a deep bar that basically is the meaning of the whole song, if you relate to that you are arguably the antithesis to your father, he didn't want someone to show their emotions or to care, and that's exactly what you are, you care, and he don't know any better, so how could you blame him

    Really speaking on speculation. Maybe it's a culture thing. The teary eyes stay outside line was most likely about him losinb and his emotions getting the best of him and he better not go in the house crying over a game. His friends may not understand because they may have single parents and a mom might coddle him but a dad wont. Gotta sand off those emotions young.

    9:24. Your analysis of this is wrong. Kendrick’s father didn’t choose to ignore his feelings, he didn’t have time to deal with them. It’s not an emotional repression issue. He literally can’t afford to take time to grieve. It’s not about being taught wrong by “toxic” masculinity; his family will suffer if he takes time for himself. Thats the mentality he passed on to Kendrick. The problem is Kendrick is a multi millionaire. He doesn’t have to push aside his feelings for the wellbeing of his family, and therefore he gets the opportunity to rise above.

    • @deadpanduke19
      @deadpanduke19  3 месяца назад

      I wish I expanded on this more on the video because you’re right- and the systemic issue of being poor and having to provide for a family through multiple jobs eliminates valuable time to be a father. That then trickles down to the next generation, and it’s up to them to try to balance it-however, the system is still pitted against them too. Thanks for the comment.

      Missing that part of it... kinda kills the rest of what you're trying to explain in the lyrics.
      Kendrick is who he is because his father did what he knew and thought best; Kendrick's father is who he is because of what he learned from his own father (or what he picked up from the street that worked, which he then carried forward).
      Kendrick is trying to break that cycle going forward, for his own children; teach the lesson to his young, without carrying forward the negatives from what he was taught/learned.

    Strong men make good/easy times. Good/easy times make weak men. Weak men make bad/hard times. Bad/hard times make strong men. And so the cycle repeats!
    Without Kendrick’s father instilling that competitive mentality (what y’all call toxic masculinity) into Kendrick, he doesn’t have the savage nature to tap into to beat Drake. And people love to hate Drake. But Drake is the ultimate example of a sensitive soul who has no problem expressing his feelings. The reason so many people came to hate Drake is because they hate that sensitive nature in themselves.

    • @KOSupreme
      @KOSupreme 3 месяца назад +1

      Balance is key. When easy times are made you still have to introduce young men to the perils of life. That’s why a lot of old societies had some type of rites of passage or coming of age ceremonies where the teenagers would learn how to survive in the woods and shit like that. Nowadays I suppose sports, martial arts, survival skills and generally just pushing a man to be a risk taker and rationale under pressure could achieve the same results but balance is key.
