    Notice how in the "The Blacker The Berry" cover shows a mother breastfeeding two babies

    [​IMG]
    Now with "i" we have two opposing g--- members (blood & crip) coming together,
    Could this possibly be the two babies/brothers growing up?
    The mother raised them as babies, now they look to the streets as their new mother



    About Kendrick's brother being a g--- member & incarcerated
    Lets go back to Section.80 & GKMC...

    On Ab Souls Intro..
    "You've ever seen a newborn baby k--- a grown man"

    On Hold Up...
    "as a kid I killed two adults, I'm too advanced"

    On M.A.A.D City...
    "If I told you I killed a n----- at 16, would you believe me?
    Or see me to be innocent Kendrick you seen in the street"


    Now back to the new song...

    "Been feeling this way since I was 16, came to my senses"

    "So why did I weep when Trayvon Martin was in the street?
    When g--- banging make me k--- a n----- blacker than me?
    Hypocrite!"


    He's saying we need to stop killing our own brothers/people

    Notice how "I" is positive while "TBTB" is the opposite point of view

    Looks familiar? Two brothers who want the same thing, just approached differently.

    This may also coincide with 'Untitled' theme of unity & the fruits of life.

    Remember the "One nation under a groove" quote in the beginning of "I" video? Remember how I said he is probably dreaming in the song and in the end he wakes up still surrounded by violence? The end of the music video proved he was dreaming throughout the events when he wakes up still getting his hair braided, & the people who were there before are no longer around.

    Remember in the beginning of the untitled performance he said I met this lady "when I went back home" he then goes on to talk about different races bringing them together and shares what he has learned from each.

    The end of the song where the Terrace Martin production comes in, it sounds as if Kendrick(or another character) goes into dreaming and is in a different place possibly africa (the sounds give off an african vibe). Maybe on the album he's having reoccurring dreams of traveling around the world meeting new people all while connecting the negative/positive aspects of Compton to different countries and ethnicities.

    Remember when Rosenberg said "He's talking about Africa" on King Kunta & goes on to describe the sample.



    What if the end of TBTB is the intro of King Kunta & he's waking up/dreaming about being in Africa?

    Kendrick in Africa late 2013/Early 2014
    This trip definitely influenced the concept.
