Like to take a minute and apologize to Kendrick because I realized I was being a hater. Kendrick Lamar's discography is one of my favorites, and I do take time to listen to it. I just don't talk about it as much because I realized that most people who say that they're fans of him just haven't actually done any prerequisite of a conversation that I would want to have. Kendrick Lamar wrote an album, and the concept centered around Eckhart Tolle's A New Earth. He said as much. Eckhart Tolle has talked about meeting Kendrick rank Kendrick Lamar coming to him and literally saying, hey. I'd like your blessing on doing an album around this, and he had to sit down and actually talk to him. So if you come to me and you start talking about Kendrick, mister morale, what he means, how it is, and you've not read this book, I'm shutting you down. Because this is a crazy concept to come to someone and say, no. My artist is deep. You don't understand him. You don't get Kendrick, but you never read the book that he based an album on. Right? Like, that seems crazy. Now I have no expectation of Kendrick Lamar to come out and give all the breakdowns of what he meant by every song or album. I know that there was all kinds of speculation on why Kodak Black was a part of him and everything else, and I made my own speculations based on reading the book. But y'all need to do the same. I'm not gonna, like, I'm not gonna go back and forth with people who literally are talking about the depth of a better, but you refuse to go to the source material because you, like, grew up in LA or, like, you just know Kendrick because you've listened to every other album. People evolve, including Kendrick. And in the thing that I put together, I took the time to highlight my own bias, recognizing things and lyrics that I hadn't taken the time with, understanding my growth, and and the necessity to actually see people for who they really are better than what I want them to be. So I am going to continue making Kendrick content, but here's what I know from the mouth of Kendrick, actually. One thing I've learned, love can change with the seasons. I can't please everybody. No. I can't please everybody. Wait. You can't please everybody. No. I can't please everybody. Please.
