Lately, I've been vibing out to Kendrick Lamar's album Good Kid, m.A.A.d City, which is kind of unusual for me. In general I don't listen to too many rappers but Kendrick is pretty dope. He talks about real life situations, and he's very relatable to me. He's also very poetic. In this era of hip hop, I feel like rapping about money, sex, women, and cars is the default. every one does it because they feel like thats what they have to do. They're afraid to put some emotion into their works, so instead they sell us a dream that even they don't really have. Kendrick...he's real.
One of my favorites at the moment is a song he did called " Sing about Me." It's based off of a real life experience. I love how raw it is and I love that he raps from three different perspectives...The Gun Shots give me chills every time I listen to it. Listen below.
Kendrick also decodes the meaning of the song in an interview to Life + Times. Watch below.
Much Love!
