    Teacher: Hey please turn that music off and pay attention

    Student: But Kendrick Lamar just dropped a new song!

    Teacher: My n*gga turn that s--- up!

    Ya'll are expecting way too much lol, the guy is only human.

    Need to take into the wider context. If he made it more cryptic & articulated as some of you state he should have then the message would have got lost in the lyrics. It's the perfect ying & yang between lyrics & message portrayed.

    so funny, eminem has been using that style/aggressive for the last 5 years and it sucks, but because a black artist tries it, its fire. LOL>

    Em went on a shouting streak of about 2-3 years on every single song, Kendrick uses tons of diffrerent voice's to match or even create the mood of the songs.

    Eminem these days shouts about raping people the age of his daughter among other dumb sh*t, Kendrick is shouting about Black people being killed by cops without justice.

    Not exactly the same thing is it?

    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.
