    the king had his whole career planned out as a young cat

    ok..im not a pathetic stan...im just bored as f--- and noticed this while listening to Hiiipower

    So get up off that slave ship
    Build your own pyramids, write your own hieroglyphs


    isnt that kinda like the concept of the label pimping the talent (the butterfly)

    I see the connection, but it's a reach. I always thought the line was more, about freeing your mind from slave mentality (more like with vanity slaves)

    Would definitely need more to validate this.

    You should be the one to shut up because TPAB was definitely planned years ago.

    like andreas hale said, if you know music, then you know kendrick was always gonna make tpab, sonically and musically, everything he made prior to gkmc prove that tpab was gonna be his next step.

    And he himself said tpab was supposed to be his 4th or 5th album but he said he was ready to drop it earlier in his career. Also, a lot of his close friends have talked about how kendrick was already talking about this album way before gkmc came out.

    It makes kinda sense when you think about it, but I still think it's a reach. It's rather coincidental in my opinion.
