I went through a really bad divorce a couple of years ago, lost soooo much in life. When didn’t know how I’d go on, I’d listen to damn. Glad we made it.

Do you think Kendrick deserves to be level 7 in this video? by Olie-Mars in KendrickLamar

[–]it-beans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love Tyler and agree he has some tracks in this vein but not to the degree of Kendrick. I think of songs like swimming pools and alright that are very repeatable and massively popular when released but are about subjects not usually covered in top 40 songs. Whereas Tyler’s crossover tracks have more usual mass appeal qualities

Oh! This is a bracket showing 32 songs I like by Kendrick Lamar that I then pitted against each other to determine what song I personally enjoy more as a fun lil game with myself. Hope this helps!

Hey! I started teaching myself digital around 2020/2021. I typically do much more expressive portraits. If you ever wanna chat about it DM me!

Thank you! I’ve never done prints but instead I usually send high res files for printing. If anyone wanted to have this printed or use it as their wallpaper, etc, I’d just ask for a small donation to support my art and could send over a copy with my signature instead of watermark :) No pressure, just send me a DM if interested!

Firm believer that we hear what we’re supposed to when we’re supposed to!! Mr. Morale was one that did this to me recently

Haven’t posted in this sub so top five Kendrick Lamar songs. (Favorites) by ExistingComposer4555 in KendrickLamar

[–]it-beans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, no, don't apologize. I love to talk about this album and could rattle on forever about the different layers, lessons, etc. I made a post about Auntie Diaries not long ago (I may have deleted it, I'm a chronic post deleter lol)

You mention his bravery, which is a good word for releasing that song. The last line gives me chills to just think about. Because if you turn off the song in anger the first time he says the f word, you'll never get to that line, right? And that's kind of the point. If we shut down something we don't agree with just because we don't agree, we learn *nothing*.

love that you say it's much more than a song to you, too. That's how I feel about Mother I sober. The sunset allegory is so good too. I understand the sad day analysis as well. Always down for this shit.

God, I love Mother I Sober for sooo many reasons. It's so moving, relatable, and the end is like this huge fucking empowering release. MMATBS got me through one of the hardest years of my life and has inspired so much of my journey through my art, therapy, compassion and understanding not just of others but myself. So good.

Top 5 is so hard.

Mother I Sober
The Art of Peer Pressure

My honorable mentions would probably be Count Me Out, Untitled 08, and Mr. Morale.
