    Classic Narsh reply to a post that goes too far over your head.

    You're so stupid it hurts. Kendrick is a straight man, so he'll lust for women. If he was a gay man or a straight women then he'd lust after men. That doesn't mean he hates women. Now go ride the short bus home.

    EDIT:

    This doesn't even make sense.

    What..... Why are you clarifying something that didn't need clarification? Lol if you think a song sounds "forced" that can only mean one thing. "u" is the complete opposite of forced. It's honest, depressing, heavy, dark. It's Kendrick at his lowest point.

    Alright, since I can't convince you with words, let me do it with music

    Literally the same concept executed flawlessly



    Compare Kendrick's voice and emotion in this track with u

    Kendrick's issues with woman have been made clear since Section 80. His portrayal of woman is no different from what Atmosphere has done, Jay-Z, Taylor Swift etc. Also, I never said that's what you said. I said "IF you go full WPG on us" because you were certainly heading down that road.

    I don't think it's the same as slug at all. Slug adds dimensions to his characters, that's what I don't see from Kendrick

    I was joking around earlier but I think he just shows women as a vice, and they absolutely can be.

    It's not painting a gender so much.

    But.... It's not the same concept. The subject matter is similar but the concept isn't the same. "u" is Kendrick rapping his self-hating thoughts out loud. "His Pain" is Kendrick rapping about the hardships of the environment he lives in and how despite those hardships he keeps getting blessed. Also, posting that song doesn't explain how "u" is forced at all.

    I'm not critiquing him for doing that, I'm critiquing his execution. It's a go to crutch from him in his writing -- one that he seems content in not developing any further (from ep/od to gkmc to tpab...its been the same)

    I didn't meant that...

    With "concept" I'm talking about how both songs are honest, depressing, heavy, dark, etc. and have Kendrick almost crying in pain

    The difference is that His Pain feels a lot more smoother and powerful at the same time

    Kendrick is crying, yes, but the emotion feels genuine and he's not overdoing it

    u is a song with GREAT ideas and a mediocre execution

    Bruh. Listen to how he says s--- in the song the dramatic voice is forced. He doesn't sound like that when he cries i bet. Its forced. Ya feel me?

    So you think he was legitimately crying in the song?
