The "Is it wickedness or weakness?" is the narrator asking, "which is the reason why you sin, wickedness or weakness?"The price of sinning is death, thus the narrator asking are we going to live or die?" The bible states that the price of sin is death so that is what the narrator is alluding to in the first song.
In the HUMBLE. music video Kendrick says the same thing instead of "nobody pray for me"
3 года назад+1
could be a reference to Inferno as well, in which sins in hell are separated between sins of weakness and sins of malice (which is basically defined as wickedness)
Damn is a great album in my personal opinion the damn collection version just feels better having it play backwards in my person opinion just makes the album feel fresher
Please release part 2, DAMN has been a really conflicting album for me to decipher and seing your thoughts is really insightful. This is really entertaining.
the bar "born inside the beast my expertise checked out in second grade" was king Kenny talking about in second grade how he was infatuated with words and writing and how he was a prodigy with the pen and his English teacher helped him with writing I watched on a interview. so its kinda a double entendre with him losing his innocents at a young age
I’m seeing him in concert tonight and I’ve been watching analysis videos of the albums he’s gonna perform from to fully get in the mood and this is such an incredible analysis. It’s my favorite album of his and you guys killed it! Thanks for all of the work you put into this ❤️
The instrumental for love rotates around the speakers with a crazy stereo effect. Kinda like when you fall in love and you feel like your heads spinning.
I appreciate how careful you guys were with Hebrew Israelite beliefs. It’s sensitive stuff, and it gets super racial super quick, which is my next point. I believe that if you listen to damn from front to back, it’s about black people but if you listen from back to front it’s about kendrick as an individual, which adds another layer to the DNA video and his interaction with Don Cheadle as a black police officer.
27:48 ive alwas personally thought that the " i need some water, somethin came over me. way to hot to simmer down might as well overhead" is referencing "sing about be/im dying of thirst" in that lust is by all means a serious sin, and so he's saying he needs to repent ya know, he needs that holy water from im dying of thirst and he needs to repent for his lust, and the " way to hot to simmer down might as well overheat" was like him at that point saying "oh ive sinned so much, or im so hot, i could never truly repent so i might as well continue and enjoy my time , or overheat. just my take tho im mad im late to such an amazing podcast.
Dope connection! Kendrick's lyricism really is insane. Certain bars can have 3-4 meanings referencing the bible/calling back to an earlier album, etc. And we appreciate you coming aboard! We definitely recommend checking out this year's OurThoughts Awards. I'll just leave the link right here: ruclips.net/video/_IBSVEM8JFQ/видео.html
Opened this expecting high quality production, and sum about seeing y’all casual boys was like “ok nvm it’s a reg video” and for some reason I stuck it out. Really glad I did, well earned subscription ✊🏼✊🏼
Tbh to pimp a butterfly is easier to understand as it has Kendrick guiding you through almost each song at the end with his progressive poetry , he also sums it up in the end of the album with the tupac interview , so no really need to break it down
I think Kendrick was not refering to the sins of the community. What I got from the album was the ideology that either God has chosen suffering for us or that everyone around the world has decided this is where we (black people) should be. Kendrick has shown more than once that he adores his people so implying that our suffering is solely our fault doesn't make sense. Especially when he has depictions of outside forces causing strain in his music videos and lyrics.
Thank you for the kind words! We got a couple banger videos coming in the next couple of weeks so subscribe + turn on notifications so you know when those come out!🙌
He has the same level of vibration that many other great people have had. Einstein, Plank, Carl Jung, Fredrick Douglas, Maya Angelou, Jordan Peterson, Jobs, the list is endless.
obsessed with your channel. please keep up the good work you guys are gonna have so many subscribers within the next year. id love analysis on more Kendrick, Kanye, or maybe YNW melly. I feel like in light of his recent situation his work is a lot more interesting
All the reversing isnt just because or part of the albums story, its called backmasking. It's a ritualistic rule of attraction that Alistair Crowley introduced as a way to honor some evil things. There's a lot that goes into this
Bro. Where are you guys? That Cliff hanger really has me anxiously waiting. I hope yall ok tho fr. I feel like the 2nd part was delayed cuz the George Floyd and BLM movement that happened a week after this episode. Man. My life in shambles rn Fr cant wait for the next EP.
If I tried to explain the collective, divine unconscious, he is so gifted explaining in rhyme I’d be here for hours. All the archetypes, from the beginning of humanity are stripped naked and shown for who they are. How they are embedded in the psyche of every soul, but do you know how to face your shadow? You may not have the knowledge that brings you to individuation. Mentalism. “ THE ALL is mind; the universe is mental.” Correspondence. “ As above, so below; as below so above.” Vibration. “ Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates.” Polarity. “ Everything is Dual; everything has poles; everything has it's lair of opposites.” Rhythm. “ Everything flows, out and in; everything has its tides; all things rise and fall.” Cause and Effect. “ Every Cause has its Effect; every Effect has its Cause; everything happens according to Law.” Gender. “ Gendee is in everything; everything has its Masculine and Feminine Principles; Gender manifests on all planes.” Kendrick is an advanced soul, with an emphasis on using words that correctly say exactly what he wants. Genius❤️❤️

I think the way of weakness is the path of life, where he humbles himself like ducky did in Duckworth and survives because of it
@ neither of those end in life tho
@ word
The real Hebrews are Blacks,Mexican and Native Americans that what he saying. “Imma a Israelite don’t call me black no mo”
That word is only a color it ain’t fact no more

Back With Another Great Video!!!
I can’t believe I watched this video 11 months late and I’m still caught up on the end of the video…
😂😂ruclips.net/video/XlcTeh5BoFg/видео.html
One of my favourite albums, really enjoyed this session. Looking forward to part 2
ruclips.net/video/XlcTeh5BoFg/видео.html
“The Mirror (1975).” Andrei Tarkovsky. This is what I thought about when I heard the album.
FEEL. is my favorite song on the album.
This is so underrated, this video is great and really had me thinking😌
Don chito and Kendricks moment is legendary, Don once acted as Kung fu Kenny in Rush hour🔥🔌
yall should be at 500k subs bro ngl
Haha we appreciate it, definitely recommend our videos if you know someone who would like them!
Opened this expecting high quality production, and sum about seeing y’all casual boys was like “ok nvm it’s a reg video” and for some reason I stuck it out. Really glad I did, well earned subscription ✊🏼✊🏼
love this comment! we appreciate you and hope you'll be around for pt 2 coming soon ruclips.net/video/XlcTeh5BoFg/видео.html
Hehe, might aswell do a TPAB analysis for the subs.😏
Haha you right, you right ;)
Tbh to pimp a butterfly is easier to understand as it has Kendrick guiding you through almost each song at the end with his progressive poetry , he also sums it up in the end of the album with the tupac interview , so no really need to break it down
yall killed it with the analysis
this video is awesome. Keep up the great work guys it’s gonna pay off trust
i love how kdot acknowledges the questions the interviewers askabout the beginning/end of the album, but never answers them
i love those soft instrumentals playing in the background
there'll be more where that came from in pt 2 coming soon ruclips.net/video/XlcTeh5BoFg/видео.html

I don’t think he was saying it’s our fault just describing the outcome of the cycle.
1 year with only 6 dislikes , wanna see more of you guys ❤️

All the reversing isnt just because or part of the albums story, its called backmasking. It's a ritualistic rule of attraction that Alistair Crowley introduced as a way to honor some evil things. There's a lot that goes into this
His verse on deep water is insanely aggressive too

Good job you two, good analysis.

Damn. That outro, can I find this song somewhere?
Pointing out the kill bill vibe in blood earned my like. Great dissection of one of the best albums in our lifetime
