“Sacrificing” himself by confessing his “sins” and being the one to air out his own dirty laundry in order to connect with his community and let people know that he’s just like them. He understands the position he’s in as a role model/idol and maybe some people perhaps look at him as a “God” like figure. However, the moral(e) of the story is… If he can get through these tough circumstances so can you.
He didn’t need to confess this. A rapper cheating on a woman who he still has yet to marry while having 2 kids with her ( last one was to secure the anchor 🤷🏽♀️)-is no surprise revelation . It’s predictable. As predictable as marketing himself as deep and self righteous while just saying he’s YET ANOTHER rapper disrespecting his girl the same way THEY ALL DO🤦🏾♀️
@@hello_04 so u think he is self righteous and that since he brand himself as intelligent he shouldn't be telling the world he made a mistake by cheating on his girl?
If people look at him as a god like figure then the world sounds messed up. I don't know how you can compare any man to someone as big and all knowing as a god. Maybe that's why Muslims are really against Jesus being seen as a god figure
I have respect for him reflecting like this and being fully honest about himself as a human. Yet, I feel a romanticization of putting ANOTHER “ride-or-die” woman through this kind of stuff. I’ve been there, trying to help a man, encourage him to break generational curses while he’s breaking you. Nope
😂😂😂 y'all think marriage is easy and your shit don't stink, dude went through all the problems a man can have showed us he had one and he got help to fix it, he didn't romanticize anything about a ride or die, he talked about the pain he caused and felt remorse over it which empowered him to get help thanks to his wife to be... many could have easily put that on their parnter and kept it pushing... also we don't know the weakness his woman had which affected him and he didn't share that cause he showed his appreciation of her instead of saying both sides were wrong like most due. kdot manned up unlike most, and he did do it by having to put another down to say look how good I look... I can guarantee you you won't find anyone who is 100% perfect if you want to get married, we all have weakness and fall short, but it takes an adult to become better and help another become better, if helping someone else overcome themselves isn't for you than marriage should be the last thing on your mind honestly
Huge L … we as men unfortunately dog the purest women out of boredom or foolish pride. Lust is equally as dangerous as all them drugs and drinks. I advise y’all to pray on your addictions and get clean. I hurt an angel before due to the same thing. SMH. Stay blessed y’all. Repent!
@@chetubetchaa prayer, hard work, making and maintaining better habits, eliminating old ones all worked. Prayer helped me spiritually and mentally. Prayer Kept me on track internally. Don’t tell me it doesn’t work because it worked for me.
@@chetubetchaa because I was severely depressed and unable to get out of bed. I had tried all the other things prior to no avail.. but it wasn’t until I got my mind right and my soul right through prayer and spiritual study that was able to do these things successfully. You don’t have to believe that what I did will work for you, but man it worked so great for me👍
That album was fire. I honestly never listened to Kendrick the right way, but he's such a breath of fresh air for hip hop and always has such a deep good message.
@@hadassahimmanuel777 I been respected him back with ADHD and hiiipower. A majority of GKMC was fire fire. Then after that he kind of lost me. I went back though and listened to GKMC and listened to the actual story. I knew it was a story but I listened to it closer and that shit was fire the way he would put a concept of a song after a part of the story occured. So when I went back to listen to a pimp a butterfly I liked it. There isn't one song on to pimp a butterfly that I want to play in my car but as an audio movie, a talent of rap showcase and an overall message delivered with diverse instrumentation - that shit is fire. The new album is the same way for me. The only good stand alone track is N95 in my opinion, but the album as a whole I actually like better than to pimp a butterfly. It's masterful piece of hip hop from start to finish.
I just want one of you stans to answer me one question. Why is it that when a Male Rapper confesses his cheating and all of that in songs or interviews, he is seen as a saint , as a hero? But how would that go down if a women done this? If Beyoncé said she cheated on Jay and is a better woman now etc.. like wtf. Why is it always ok or atleast forgivable and even admirable when a man confesses to breaking his vows? Let's see how yal react if any female singer/rapper sang about cheating on their partner and now growing from it... oh then she for the streets yeah? keep that same energy please!
This man hits nerves no other artist could ever hit. We've witnessed something special seeing this man grow into what he is now after consistently being the most anticipated at all levels since the beginning.
I'll be honest. I've been tired of the "man goes to therapy and realizes he treated his woman like shit" trope. Men keep getting applauded for doing the bare minimum and women are consistently taught to be unreasonably forgiving. If the roles were reversed, Kendrick probably wouldn't be with Whitney. But everybody's patting him on the back for simply admitting to all this. It's very weird.
You know, you do have a point when you said Kendrick probably wouldn’t be with Whitney if she cheated on him. I think he recognized this though since he called her a pure soul when she recommended him therapy instead of leaving him. She was willing to stick by him and help him become not just a better partner but a better person. I think that’s pretty admirable and paints his wife in a positive light. But also keep in mind that this is only Kendrick Lamar’s flaws. We don’t know Whitney’s past and the mistakes that she’s made in her life or in their relationship so we shouldn’t try to judge either of them.
Good Kendrick has self respect to not stay in a relationship after getting cheated on 😂 nobody cares what women do y’all always wanna be professional victims shut up
She decided to stay, she could leave and he didn't have to admit it publicly you won't know, his fiancé won't know..so he already knew he was wrong he didn't need therapy for that..
nah why are cheaters always praised for being honest about cheating meanwhile the cheated-on partner is the one going through way more pain. kendrick’s a great artist and this album was great but can we just stop acting like cheating is a brave thing to do, there are so many options to not cheating on your partner if you feel like you want to have sex with other people: breaking up, talking about it with them, exploring a consensual open relationship etc. cheating is inherently dishonest and cowardly and i’m not gonna redraw that line for my fav artists
when it comes to artists, they glorify his honesty. when it comes to random other people on the streets, they shi on him for being a cheater and admitting it. we live in a society
They aren’t glorifying the cheating. They’re glorifying his honesty. People appreciate honesty and admitting to their faults. It makes us all fear more comfortable in our own skin when we see someone we think can do no wrong do wrong. It reminds ourselves we are people and that we aren’t the worst things in the world when we make mistakes.
I think it's good that he does this, it helps bring him back down to earth when so many people put him and others like him on a pedestal, it's important he shows his flaws which we all have and when I heard him saying it I didn't admire his actions, but I did appreciate the honesty. And I agree with you that the best thing would be not to cheat in the first place and it's a very scummy thing to do for sure, but I've noticed that a lot of people today can be quite puritanical about people making mistakes and we should instead be promoting taking accountability for mistakes like he's doing in this song, instead of just not talking about it and being ashamed of it. It promotes a culture of shame and discourages people from learning from their mistakes, so I'm glad he added this to the album, it's important I think to show yourself, warts and all, that's what art is I think.
Kendrick is the kind of success story that encourages me as a underground artist with a small following. Seeing how he’s developed his skills and slowly blown up after seizing each and every opportunity he’s been giving has been inspirational! Mans has quickly become a mainstay in the industry and for good reason. Dude is too nice! I know if I put in the work, I can reach a larger audience some day too, but for now, I’m happy being a supporter. My turn will come too. Salute to Kendrick🔥
@@qdakid7776 He started in 04’ and went mainstream in 2012. There were 8 years of young Kendrick making music and nobody or at least not a lot people knew of him. I’d say it took a lot of grind hard work and time for him to blow up.
Kendrick is a great hip hop artist, if y'all looking for those club bangers/street anthems this album ain't for you. Who wants to hear rappers talk about women, jewelry, cars, it gets old and have to grow up. Look at Drake still in his same lane making pop hits, ain't nothing wrong but that's his formula, this is Kendrick formula. It's really easy don't like it skip to the next album. Eventually y'all will grow past the fuckery in hip hop and listen to something deep to think about, trust YOU WILL get there and understand the music
Don't get it twisted. I know old guys who like them club bangers more then Kendrick. And these are old guys. If you think they going back to that smart ish you're wrong. Because your aspect is from a youngin or somebody who just started following hiphop. But their are old heads outthere who don't like that smart ish. Now you tell them what you just stated. And remember these are guys from the Rakim era. The "smart" era.
This sounds like a desperate depressed person who needs a rapper to make them make sense of the world. Which is sad. Kendrick isn’t pulling up trees, if you think so you must live a very shallow life.
bruh its not your relationship stfu if she wants to stay then let her stay. talk about being independent yet u get pissy when she makes a choice for herself
@@rossa23 Lots of people too scared to say it. Eminem wasn’t a great until he got sober. He had good music before, but that’s all it was. Good, passable. He started reading dictionaries and came out a great.
as i see, there's a lot of eminem "experts" who think that marshall is bad, stfu, y'all are not the ones who can talk about human's sacrifices, pain and honesty on their own songs. kendrick and slim both had their dark and not happy at all childhood at the past, they both did go through it and now we can learn from them a lot on songs. respect the art of the greatests
I am on a self healing journey trying to heal my emotional wounds of the past that I have avoided for so long, you gloss over them trying to be "happy," but that's all an illusion. The illusion starts to fall apart once your pain starts to catch up to you and eventually you can't run from it anymore. The only way to heal is to feel. Feel your pain and learn about what it's trying to tell you. I'm battling with lust addiction myself, it's such a horrible thing to be in. It makes you feel ashamed, but shame is what keeps you away from healing. Anyways, if you read this far, I hope you're doing great in your life. Peace out.
It’s just sex. Not a real addiction. For me I mainly enjoy it because all of the years of dudes trying to play me for not getting none. Now I smashed some of those dudes chicks and just chicks in general. “ you don’t get no hoes.” I showed them now I’m empowered. I gotta have sex like everyday or every other day.
You can't just wanna rap like him anymore. Artists like him are challenging his listeners and fans by confronting these issues head-on. And openly processing them with brutal honesty. Bravo to him.
This is exactly what made Eminem a legend and now K Dot a legend. They used their art to speak about their weakness and craft their rhymes to show they humans just like any of us.
@Nicolas RD Yeah, he did. That song Good Guy feat Jessie Reyes I believe may be another 1 similar to how toxic he can be with women too...or was with his woman. I think its that 1...or maybe I'm getting it confused with another song of his. Idk 🤔
This album made me sad cause Kendrick is someone I think highly of and him admitting to all these falls makes you realize anyone is susceptible to failure
But see it’s okay to fail , nobody’s perfect and you learn from your transgressions. I think it’s dope for him to tap into that and let his fans know what’s really going on. We all have failed, everyone is learning and evolving. And that’s okay
Admitting his falls make me think even more highly of him..saints have past, sinners have a future...everything is everything, men are just men..your failures don't define you, it's your will to do better or not...
The love of my life has a lust addiction and there is no way I could ever go back - but it’s always beautiful to see people come clean about the mistakes they’ve made in the past. That’s the only way to heal and be forgiven so this is uncomfortable to hear but the vulnerability is incredible. As someone who has vices outside of lust, I understand how hard it is to break free from a pattern of addiction. His self awareness is very healing to hear.
What I love about kendrick is that he really respects his fans/audience by not insulting their intelligence or being misleading. He understands hes held in such a high regard. Hes percieved by many to be a morale compass, of high character, an idol, infallible, and can do no wrong. But he knows thats not the case. Hes human like everyone else. He felt like he had a responsibility, esp becuz of being in that position, to not be a hypocrite. He felt he had a morale obligation not lie to himself by being real n staying true to himself n his supporters. U can feel that through out the album. It's dangerous to be idolized n he expresses that in many ways. Humanity, the complexity n the conflcitions of being human, is a constant theme through out the album. The pressure of that n the power in that is heavy. I dont think he was trying to be trendsetting or reinvent the wheel. It seems like his message is real change/freedom starts with doing right by n bein real with oneself. Dont be in denial confront it all for u n yours sake. It's ok to make mistakes or have problems as long as ur willing to put in work to evolve n learn from it. Free urself. Dont be a slave or beholden to an image or a perception u inevitably cant uphold or are not.
"the cats out of the bag I am not your savior I find it just as hard to love thy neighbor." - Kendrick Lamar this album is full of very insightful lines. I like how he really opens up in his music because its so easy to listen to. he goes through very personal struggles like you and I. He may have been unfaithful, but his redemption is a sign of strength and he writes about it so beautifully.
My thoughts were pain, anger and sadness. The fact that so many of our women in the spotlight have to deal with this behavior is so frustrating. Why? Why do you get to fxck half the world and we as women have to deal with that, beg you to go to therapy and then bear your children? It's so frustrating as a woman to keep hearing this narrative. This is the first song I heard on the album and I cried because I was so full of rage. I love Kendrick and his music, I was so disappointed to learn that he cheated and with many. Two things can be true at the same time: I can love his music and at that same time, if I was Whitney, wouldn't be able to move forward until I broke his nose. Those two things can be true at the same time, idgaf that he admitted to it and healed from it, just don't fxcking do it. Stop fxcking cheating on us. And stop waiting til y'all drag us through HELL to fxcking go to therapy!!! Love the song, love him, and hoping for the best for his family.
@ruvie You shouldn't let anyone drive you to the point where you have to physically abuse them. Imagine if a man said he could love a woman but still be angry to smack her in the face if she cheated. That's usually one of the excuses men give when they abuse women. My neighbor had this mentality. His wife cheated on him a lot. He finally left her but was stupid to be beating on her. Women shouldn't be beating on men just like men shouldn't be beating on women. In America, men and women cheat at the same percentage. This advocating for violence against each other needs to stop. If someone cheats on you and you can't deal with that bs, then just leave. It makes no sense catching a case over someone who does that. If you do choose to forgive them, then you have to do so fully to move on in the relationship. This beating on them ideology is bs.
@@TripleSeven777Life Thank you for sharing, I appreciate that because it gave me a different perspective. I can tell this is something that you are passionate about. I need to think about and look at why this situation is so triggering for me to even fantasize about acting out of my character. I think also I don't want to condone rage either though. That sometimes people do things that make you want to slap their face off, shit even your own parents or kids. But i agree with you that the world needs more peace, less violence against each other and that there are a lot of people without that self-control and restraint (there have been so many fatal road rage incidents like people getting shot on highways for simple things like accidentally cutting someone off, which is terrifying). I wonder what healthy ways can rage be channeled into. I appreciate this dialogue. Thank you. *Also I agree that domestic violence works both ways and NEITHER are acceptable.
@@CreativeEricafilms Yes, unfortunately our first reaction as humans is violence when we are wronged. Self-control definitely doesn't come automatically. It takes training and willpower over time. When it is used though it can safeguard our lives and those of others. Of course, if you are attacked self defense is needed but violence should never be the first option. I also appreciate the positive dialogue. You seem to be a very introspective and critical thinker. Love and respect! 🙂.
As a male Kendrick fan Pros: Good album Addressed imperfections Deconstruct savior complex Good music He knows he fucked up He could have hid all this but he didnt Cons: Lost some respect for him Cheating is unforgivable I dont envy Whitney hes going on tour again soon imagine he chucks this therapy out the window and cheats..again. Anxiety and trust issues galore He was rapping about Loyalty at one point...damn I expected better from him but if there is one thing you can expect from humans and never be disappointed is the fact they will inevitably disappoint you Women shouldnt be expected to be dogged out constantly by their S.O and be praised for staying instead of leaving wtf Kendrick shouldnt be praised for any of this and I dont think he thinks he should either but people still will because they still idolize him even when he says not to on this album. People are crazy Double standard a woman physically cheats most men would not forgive a lot of them would get violent It's like the Chris Brown thing celebrities can do super fucked up things and be given a pass where for normal people it could destroy their whole reputation and social life and they would lose their job. R Kelly did heaps of bad things some people will still jam his music which is terrible but humans are again imperfect Cheating is not to be condoned by either gender period Side note: These people saying cheating is normal, everyone cheats, you would cheat too in his position, monogamy is unnatural and polyamory is. Disgust me on a very deep level. Absolutely not
This album is masterful. The type of album you go back to listen over & over again. Very proud. Very inspired as an artist myself. Thank you Kendrick. 🤎
Facts that’s what I’ve been doing ..it’s on repeat…this is a Masterclass album…so many gems 💎 in an unorthodoxed way…to even call him a “rapper” feels like an insult at this point
@@GloryCarrier365 right! I’d prefer lyricist. I don’t even tell people I’m a rapper. There’s so many trash “rappers” they automatically assume you’re one of em. Yeah, Kendrick is a poet, a lyricist or simply an artist.
@@elijahlogan7347 yeah that was masterful, but this one dives far deeper than TPAB. It’s discussing way more and his wordplay is vastly different. I do get what you’re saying though. Both are phenomenal. Give it a few more listens man, you’ll see. What are your favorite cuts from the new album?
@@theofficialvontae I don't know about this album being deeper bro , TPAB my soul resonated with that album being a black man in America and the issues we face. I do probably need to listen a few more times however I just hold Kendrick to a higher standard
Kendrick was DEAD ASS WRONG for cheating on his fiance, YES. But his music is powerful and simply dope AF. Whether or not his fiance forgives him is up to her. I don't condone cheating AT ALL. But I respect honesty. But Kendrick has to figure out if he really loves this woman he's set to marry. Because his actions don't show that.
The simplicity of the instrumental makes you appreciate his vulnerability in the song. Thoughts on cheating on his now fiancé, he’s a big man for admitting it. But I don’t blame him. The fame would of made any other man do worse and deny it but he openly expressed it and worked on his addictions which I hope has help improve his relationship with his partner and overall family.
I get where you approaching from but He is to be blamed. It's not somebody put a gun to his head and said cheat on your wife. And don't sidetrack it saying oh fame made him do it. He chose to do it. But what's great about it He repented, seeked therapy and whats more wonderful is his wife forgave him.
I wouldn't say I don't blame him. Yes he's a legendary artist and definitely I think for most of us here, his music played a huge role in our development (for those around my age being 21) BUT how can we not have the same energy towards the things he's done, the way he himself admits to his own vices. At the end of the day he hurt his partner, and i think not blaming him for his own actions actually ironically in this sense distorts the actual reality of what happened and makes us see a Saint instead of a human.
@@rethabilemolefe7564 // yeah, i get what you mean, but are you saying that he should’ve kept all this under the rug? Plus, I’m sure he talked to his fiancé about this track - if they’re okay with it, then so be it
I don't care how creative you get, only to announce that you have been cheating, still hurts the other partner. She could give two Fkz about a well thought through and passive song. Only if men could put forth that much energy not to cheat, women could appreciate that far more.
@@kimirakash999 I feel you but that doesn't give people the right to hurt you or me. We all have a sad story, yet we have to learn how to live again mentally, spiritually, physically and financially within this world and life. I've been taking fast a lot in my life as well but I have to remember that everyone didn't do what others may have done to me. GROWTH
proud of him to admit it and own up instead of lie and deny. all that money and fame brings demons out of good men. with an insane amount of women throwing themselves at you it'd be next to impossible to resist it yk
It’s true, he did the hard thing. It’s easy to just lie and pretend for people who may think you’re above making certain choices but he showed us himself flaws and all, always has and I think that’s what I appreciate the most from Kendrick
@@L0-C01 you're actually braindead if you think that was the reason lol. She could've left him and milked money out of him as the mother of his children. But instead she chose to stick by him and forgive him.
Being honest about horrible behavior doesn’t make it any less horrible. I’ve experienced infidelity and it’s the worst long-lasting feeling I’ve ever experienced. Kendrick cheating on his woman is abusive and traumatizing. It causes deep-rooted trust issues, risks STDs that could ruin her future sex and love life, and he wasted her time for his own selfish desires, causing so much pain, risking her body and life, all for sex…Evil. He needs to be better and do everything he can to ATTEMPT to make it up to her.
He doesn’t downplay it as making it less horrible. He literally calls out his ignorance in his act and constantly questions whether forgiveness should even be an option for him. I suggest u relisten to the song
If males could have sex everyday with a different woman until the end of their life without society blaming them for this bullcrap, they would do it..sex is the more basic animalistic instinct in masculine nature, women don't get it cuz they have Access to sex easily lol...why do people think men watch that much porn?
@@drwho9319 you probably have a gift..lol, are there any temptations that you can't resist ? Imagine being in a room full of hoes begging you to have sex would you Say no? do you understand most of men could not Say no?
This New Kendrick Lamar album is a Different type album than alot of his projects he's done, but overall, this album is Kendrick solid/ Personal album to me 💯
i mean that's what he's been trying to do the whole time...each album different than the last, something different all the time (on his projects). He said in on a typed interview i think it was a relevantly new one with Baby Keem after Keem dropped his debut.
@@chrisb.heckons637 you got a good point💯, every other album don't have to sound the same, cause most of the times, you gotta evolve. otherwise, them fans be complaining about 'why this rapper sounds the same on every song' or ' I want the GKMC OR TPAB Kendrick'. you gotta appreciate the music the way it is.
He's already going through therapy, this was a honest confession of a man who admits to his problems. This song was just amazing from start to finish. Hell this whole album. Just listened to it again. I respect Kendrick for being as honest and raw with his fans as he is on here. Opens up the idea that it's comfortable for people to talk about stuff like this with people. Normalizing being real with the future generation. So we all can know it's ok to talk it out with the ones you love.
@@raisingthebar5766 so someone cheats, apologizes, goes to therapy, makes his amends, and is genuinely sorry, and you still can't find it in your heart to forgive em at all?
@@talkitup1970 I agree. To me It shows emotional intelligence, which is something people need to work on. Some people make mistakes but when a person admits it and seeks help, that is the best thing that person can do for their self and their loved ones.
@@talkitup1970 You're right. Nobody's perfect but the problem is people who glorify it, then use every excuse in the book to try to justify their wrong actions. I think I took what you were trying to say out of context but I understand where you're coming from.
The album is CRACKKKKKK! Kendrick is always putting albums that are pure 🔥🔥🔥🔥 In today's rap music, which is 98% trash, Kendrick is different from most. Definitely a breath of fresh air.
He also mentioned it in "United in Grief" - the girl with the green eyes from the tour he did in Chicago. He said they shared stories of trauma, specifically losing a loved one to gun violence.
I'm so glad that he did the work on himself and his relationship. More of us need to do it. I hope many take his example and not only heed it but imitate the changes he saw fit to make. We all need healing and growth.
@@mr.smellgood2794 they stay all the time. Some don’t cheat back. That’s what makes it easier to look at yourself. Finding good people isn’t rare it’s just not openly appreciated.
@@tyroneking6883 I understand what you saying but soooo if you're lady cheated on you. For about a good yr or let's say a month. with another dude pulling her hair while blowing her back out while you working hard to make her happy . You going forgive her bc she good ppl.???
That’s just sad. If he knew he had an addiction why didn’t he just end the relationship? I hate the fact that we commend women for “sticking by her man” whenever a man cheats. If he really loved her he wouldn’t put her in that place
Yall all sound stupid!!! Everyone can speak on what they WOULD DO…. Is your own relationship without flaws. Is it without problems? Oh that’s right everyone speaking on it probably not in a relationship of their own. Talking bout what she should do…. That’s THEIR relationship. All y’all need to STFU. Social media got people thinking that opinions actually matter. They don’t
One, this song is on disc 2. An opening song of "count me out" where it's seems the entire album had been therapy and disc 2 is breakthrough (as it was spoken). Even the song Mr. Morale predicts he's gonna talk heavy in the next song 'Mother I Sober", anyway, the trauma he spoke on sex addiction becomes a much more understudy aspect of sexual assault and r*pe amongst black families and how has a connection to what slave masters made our ancestors do. Would be nice if you have included that info here. There's a round collective reason to his hurt and lack of commitment at one point and this song was a brilliant detail to how we shove this stuff under the rug. As black women we speak out at some time but black men don't have that space and seeking therapy is so frowned upon. I hope this song inspired some people , especially black men listeners too. His vulnerability in this topic specifically isn't common among hip hop. I think his scratchy tired voice in this song also felt like he is SO stressed (despression) of living like he was. And his shouting in the end was his breakthrough to break the generational curse. Beautiful song.
I've never been one to "forgive and forget" because if forgiveness depends on me forgetting that's something that was always a gift and and curse, but I respect those who can because it takes alot of strength mentally to understand he is truly sorry by hes changed behavior. Because that last bit at the end had me tearing up.
You missed the part where he talked about his mother accusing his cousin of malesting him and he told her that never happened but they didn't believe him
I connected so much with a lot things that he was saying. It made me shed a lot of tears and reflect on my self healing journey. I'm getting through it all bit by bit. It's been very hard, but I ain't giving up at all!!!
I’m glad he got his mental together. It’s all about finding the right therapist, who is new but seasoned (like me 😂) who help us hurt by generational trauma heal
Kendrick is wrong for cheating But it is commendable to not only admit your mistakes but to also put work into fixing yourself. THAT is worthy of praise, not the cheating itself. Also I think it should be common knowledge by now that you should never treat your favorite musicians as gods who can do no wrong, they are just as flawed as you and me. Otherwise you are just setting up unfair expectations.
@@janad996 well yea you’re right I get what you’re saying. But most people don’t discover their mental illnesses until they’re in relationships. His sex addiction probably didn’t show up until down the line in their marriage. Sex addictions do manifest in different ways whether it be porn addiction, risky sex , or excessive masturba1ion
This just represents that he is human, we all have demons in our lives,it just takes a bigger man to own them , and have the courage to fight them.Thanks for sharing KL, it’s what makes us love you even more.❤️❤️❤️
Kendrick has soul, he is his own worst critic and he airs his own dirty laundry. You can tell this is real pain and we need more artists like him. Eminem tore himself up in the relapse album and then came out stronger, I'm praying Kendrick comes back harder too. Everyone had their demon's, it takes courage to talk about it and I'm proud to be a fan. ❤❤
Man cheats all over the place on his forever fiancé 🙄but twice baby mama and we congratulate him on admitting something trifling to do to his girl as “vulnerable”. He gets praised for being basic in behavior but poetic in description 👀🙄
If she wasn't baby mama would that change a thing? A man in his position would probably cheat..the thing that makes him different is the fact that he was Always Seen as a moral figure And tried to be a role model unlike other rappers who just don't Care...he not only admitted his failures he Also want to do better..
@@fideletamo4292 "a man in his position would probably cheat" why do people act like men are tiny children with no conscious if you’re in a monogamous relationship with someone you truly love there’s no reason to be cheating
@@fideletamo4292 Grown men with the money and access to get therapy don’t get a participation prize just for showing up and “wanting” to do better.

K Dot really just coming out here in 2022 and reshape Gangster Rap's landscape (and music as a whole) with this album. All in broad daylight. The absolute mad lad.
It was really disappointing to hear that he cheated on Whitney :(during the GKMC tour. seems like she’s been very good to him and didn’t deserve that. It’s clear that’s she’s still with him and forgiven him though so I hope he’s being very good to her! Just goes to show none of these rappers are community leaders or role models but very complex people which I think is the whole message of the album. Edit: I also think if he’s going to continue professing his Christianity he listens to the word and avoids temptation 🙏🏿
Who said rappers were community leaders and role models in the first place lol, it’s common sense that they just make music that’s it they shouldn’t influence anyone’s life.
Cole X Kendrick both admiting of cheating on their spouses was shocking because they subjects tend to not be like say rappers like Drake or Future but again they are just human beings and prone to make mistakes but at least they realize it was wrong and change their ways.
It's funny how women want a man to tell literally MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of women around the globe "No thanks! I will only have sex with 1 woman for the rest of my life" when women don't even desire men that other women don't find desirable. He's just a man and she knew what she signed up for. She has to share him with the world. Women don't allow men to be faithful anyway nor do they care how the other woman feels. Y'all want what you want. She's not a victim, she's a volunteer.

Ain't nothing like being human! Kendrick being human for a minute like this is just about the most manliness, authentic, coldest, loveless, heartless, non-toxic masculinity act I've witnessed him do thus far!
U learn to master your own fate from the wisdom , everyone on the planet is their own main character in this life , we gotta step up to the role to truly live a great life. Shout out K-dot
They say the album is mid...that's that trap loving pill popping lean sipping demon they have inside of em... Kendrick's thought provoking eye opening music is holy water
who said it was mid lol? iv seen nothing but praise so far. I do It's weird how people are already ranking it like # 3 in his discography and it hasn't even been a week, I think one should sit with it before rating it.
Christ has always said never use your brother’s past against him. Kendrick clearly got help and turned his life personal life around. Perhaps now he’s “Christlike”.
Long term relationships have issues and issues of ALL kinds it’s how you resolve those issues that determines if your relationship will go the distance. We are all flawed humans that’s just how it is unfortunately 😢
It just amazes me how people choose to be so empathetic and bias when it comes to cheating but be so judgemental of some else's struggle (not related to sex). Earth is ghetto

You'll be dead and you won't care, and those that loved you will be too hurt to care either. It'll be a waste of time. Just let them throw dirt on your corpse, and enjoy your eternal peace and quiet.
Why yall praising this dude for cheating? yeah he got help, good. but homie shouldnt have been doin that shit from jump. If he wasnt a rapper yall would think he aint shit. This some narcissistic bullshit. He has to stand before the world to say he now realizes cheating is wrong after almost 10 years of success and yall eat it up sayin shit like”this shit emotional! K dot has done it again!”
mother i sober helped me realize that it was time to finally take action and combat my lust addiction that i had struggled with for 3 years. kendrick cheating on his wife is inexcusable no matter how you put it, but i’m honestly really glad that he addressed it, it’s inspiring me to do better
I listen to Drake, j Cole and Kendrick and I ain't got no problem with em, when any of them drops something I play and enjoy it. I don't know how y'all study your music but I respect them as individual artists and I don't compare like this I have learned to love their music. Drawing comparisons between people sucks and is somehow disrespectful to each one's intelligence.
We all have our vices and our loved ones are the those who suffer from them. That's true love that Whitney has for Kendrick to not leave instead offer help. To bare his soul like that for the world to hear is not easy. Bless Kendrick and his family.
There's only 2 ways to deal with infidelity in a monogamous relation..separation or reparation..i understand those who leave and those who forgive, forgiving is harder tho..
2 things can be true at the same time: Master piece. Powerful. Beautiful. He is the best rapper alive 100%. I love Kendrick but I am very disappointed he cheated on his partner. yeah, nice he admitted it but i dont think his point was to get praised by that. I think y'all missing the point here. he doesnt deserve props for admitting being a shitty partner. listen to what he is saying. otherwise, y'all just normalize a very hurtful way to deal with your own demons. not to mention the fact that if she was the one cheating on him all of you would just harass her online.. so cut it off...

Lol y'all be praising cheating TF
“Sacrificing” himself by confessing his “sins” and being the one to air out his own dirty laundry in order to connect with his community and let people know that he’s just like them. He understands the position he’s in as a role model/idol and maybe some people perhaps look at him as a “God” like figure. However, the moral(e) of the story is… If he can get through these tough circumstances so can you.
He didn’t need to confess this. A rapper cheating on a woman who he still has yet to marry while having 2 kids with her ( last one was to secure the anchor 🤷🏽♀️)-is no surprise revelation . It’s predictable. As predictable as marketing himself as deep and self righteous while just saying he’s YET ANOTHER rapper disrespecting his girl the same way THEY ALL DO🤦🏾♀️
@Talebird K black male accountability must be synonymous with a high horse then. Let’s get some dwarf ponies they can aim for 🙄.
@@hello_04 u got the emotional intelligence of a cashew
@@hello_04 so u think he is self righteous and that since he brand himself as intelligent he shouldn't be telling the world he made a mistake by cheating on his girl?
If people look at him as a god like figure then the world sounds messed up. I don't know how you can compare any man to someone as big and all knowing as a god. Maybe that's why Muslims are really against Jesus being seen as a god figure
I have respect for him reflecting like this and being fully honest about himself as a human. Yet, I feel a romanticization of putting ANOTHER “ride-or-die” woman through this kind of stuff. I’ve been there, trying to help a man, encourage him to break generational curses while he’s breaking
you. Nope
Breaking generational curses while he’s breaking you..damn I felt that :/
well said!
A word!!!! ‼️
😂😂😂 y'all think marriage is easy and your shit don't stink, dude went through all the problems a man can have showed us he had one and he got help to fix it, he didn't romanticize anything about a ride or die, he talked about the pain he caused and felt remorse over it which empowered him to get help thanks to his wife to be...
many could have easily put that on their parnter and kept it pushing...
also we don't know the weakness his woman had which affected him and he didn't share that cause he showed his appreciation of her instead of saying both sides were wrong like most due. kdot manned up unlike most, and he did do it by having to put another down to say look how good I look...
I can guarantee you you won't find anyone who is 100% perfect if you want to get married, we all have weakness and fall short, but it takes an adult to become better and help another become better, if helping someone else overcome themselves isn't for you than marriage should be the last thing on your mind honestly

That album was fire. I honestly never listened to Kendrick the right way, but he's such a breath of fresh air for hip hop and always has such a deep good message.
The only wrong way to listen to Kung Fu Kenny is with distaste, but that says more about the listener than Kenny.
Me neither N95 was the one that made me respect him
@@hadassahimmanuel777 I been respected him back with ADHD and hiiipower. A majority of GKMC was fire fire. Then after that he kind of lost me. I went back though and listened to GKMC and listened to the actual story. I knew it was a story but I listened to it closer and that shit was fire the way he would put a concept of a song after a part of the story occured. So when I went back to listen to a pimp a butterfly I liked it. There isn't one song on to pimp a butterfly that I want to play in my car but as an audio movie, a talent of rap showcase and an overall message delivered with diverse instrumentation - that shit is fire. The new album is the same way for me. The only good stand alone track is N95 in my opinion, but the album as a whole I actually like better than to pimp a butterfly. It's masterful piece of hip hop from start to finish.

Why is it that when a Male Rapper confesses his cheating and all of that in songs or interviews, he is seen as a saint , as a hero? But how would that go down if a women done this? If Beyoncé said she cheated on Jay and is a better woman now etc.. like wtf. Why is it always ok or atleast forgivable and even admirable when a man confesses to breaking his vows? Let's see how yal react if any female singer/rapper sang about cheating on their partner and now growing from it... oh then she for the streets yeah? keep that same energy please!

@@aaliyahkassim9142 bruh

Fellas that’s why it’s called “female logic”. Can’t argue with them.
This man hits nerves no other artist could ever hit. We've witnessed something special seeing this man grow into what he is now after consistently being the most anticipated at all levels since the beginning.
I'll be honest. I've been tired of the "man goes to therapy and realizes he treated his woman like shit" trope.
Men keep getting applauded for doing the bare minimum and women are consistently taught to be unreasonably forgiving. If the roles were reversed, Kendrick probably wouldn't be with Whitney. But everybody's patting him on the back for simply admitting to all this.
It's very weird.
You know, you do have a point when you said Kendrick probably wouldn’t be with Whitney if she cheated on him. I think he recognized this though since he called her a pure soul when she recommended him therapy instead of leaving him. She was willing to stick by him and help him become not just a better partner but a better person. I think that’s pretty admirable and paints his wife in a positive light.
But also keep in mind that this is only Kendrick Lamar’s flaws. We don’t know Whitney’s past and the mistakes that she’s made in her life or in their relationship so we shouldn’t try to judge either of them.
Good Kendrick has self respect to not stay in a relationship after getting cheated on 😂 nobody cares what women do y’all always wanna be professional victims shut up
She decided to stay, she could leave and he didn't have to admit it publicly you won't know, his fiancé won't know..so he already knew he was wrong he didn't need therapy for that..
Because society doesn't expect women to cheat very weird indeed, cheating is thought to be more associated with males
@@ayidonno because it would be misogyny 😂
nah why are cheaters always praised for being honest about cheating meanwhile the cheated-on partner is the one going through way more pain. kendrick’s a great artist and this album was great but can we just stop acting like cheating is a brave thing to do, there are so many options to not cheating on your partner if you feel like you want to have sex with other people: breaking up, talking about it with them, exploring a consensual open relationship etc. cheating is inherently dishonest and cowardly and i’m not gonna redraw that line for my fav artists
Nobody praised him for cheating lol, but not being a self righteous hypocrite who act like he's perfect
when it comes to artists, they glorify his honesty. when it comes to random other people on the streets, they shi on him for being a cheater and admitting it. we live in a society
They aren’t glorifying the cheating. They’re glorifying his honesty. People appreciate honesty and admitting to their faults. It makes us all fear more comfortable in our own skin when we see someone we think can do no wrong do wrong. It reminds ourselves we are people and that we aren’t the worst things in the world when we make mistakes.
Are you fucked in the head? Who's praising cheating? 🧐🤔
I think it's good that he does this, it helps bring him back down to earth when so many people put him and others like him on a pedestal, it's important he shows his flaws which we all have and when I heard him saying it I didn't admire his actions, but I did appreciate the honesty. And I agree with you that the best thing would be not to cheat in the first place and it's a very scummy thing to do for sure, but I've noticed that a lot of people today can be quite puritanical about people making mistakes and we should instead be promoting taking accountability for mistakes like he's doing in this song, instead of just not talking about it and being ashamed of it. It promotes a culture of shame and discourages people from learning from their mistakes, so I'm glad he added this to the album, it's important I think to show yourself, warts and all, that's what art is I think.
Kendrick is the kind of success story that encourages me as a underground artist with a small following. Seeing how he’s developed his skills and slowly blown up after seizing each and every opportunity he’s been giving has been inspirational! Mans has quickly become a mainstay in the industry and for good reason. Dude is too nice! I know if I put in the work, I can reach a larger audience some day too, but for now, I’m happy being a supporter. My turn will come too. Salute to Kendrick🔥
Kendrick didn’t slowly blow up well he might’ve I’m not sure when he started but he’s been mainstream since 2012
I keep seeing you post this message everywhere. Good work, even better hustle. Keep it going; I know you will make it one day fam. 💯

@@grengrenhuskey Uhhh
@@qdakid7776 He started in 04’ and went mainstream in 2012. There were 8 years of young Kendrick making music and nobody or at least not a lot people knew of him. I’d say it took a lot of grind hard work and time for him to blow up.
Kendrick is a great hip hop artist, if y'all looking for those club bangers/street anthems this album ain't for you. Who wants to hear rappers talk about women, jewelry, cars, it gets old and have to grow up. Look at Drake still in his same lane making pop hits, ain't nothing wrong but that's his formula, this is Kendrick formula. It's really easy don't like it skip to the next album. Eventually y'all will grow past the fuckery in hip hop and listen to something deep to think about, trust YOU WILL get there and understand the music
chill
Don't get it twisted. I know old guys who like them club bangers more then Kendrick. And these are old guys. If you think they going back to that smart ish you're wrong. Because your aspect is from a youngin or somebody who just started following hiphop. But their are old heads outthere who don't like that smart ish. Now you tell them what you just stated. And remember these are guys from the Rakim era. The "smart" era.
Exactly
This sounds like a desperate depressed person who needs a rapper to make them make sense of the world. Which is sad. Kendrick isn’t pulling up trees, if you think so you must live a very shallow life.
Definitely wasn't looking for that and his album is trash.
Stop giving men cookies for f'ing up and leave their ass the 1st time they do you wrong!! Especially when it comes to CHEATING in any form.

@@289rory I agree.
@@rossa23 pretty sure Kendrick himself puts Em on his level
@@289rory Em was only a great because of the drugs. After them all his music felt forced
as i see, there's a lot of eminem "experts" who think that marshall is bad, stfu, y'all are not the ones who can talk about human's sacrifices, pain and honesty on their own songs. kendrick and slim both had their dark and not happy at all childhood at the past, they both did go through it and now we can learn from them a lot on songs. respect the art of the greatests
A lot of folks sex addiction issues come from traumatic childhood experiences, a topic our community doesn't grapple with enough.
I am on a self healing journey trying to heal my emotional wounds of the past that I have avoided for so long, you gloss over them trying to be "happy," but that's all an illusion. The illusion starts to fall apart once your pain starts to catch up to you and eventually you can't run from it anymore. The only way to heal is to feel. Feel your pain and learn about what it's trying to tell you. I'm battling with lust addiction myself, it's such a horrible thing to be in. It makes you feel ashamed, but shame is what keeps you away from healing. Anyways, if you read this far, I hope you're doing great in your life. Peace out.
FACTS!!!!
Anyone who notices someone that is a sex addict via red flag, walk away and don’t stay in the relationship
@@drwho9319 Now that’s an idiotic way to deal with someone issues. Hope no one listens to you.
It’s just sex. Not a real addiction. For me I mainly enjoy it because all of the years of dudes trying to play me for not getting none. Now I smashed some of those dudes chicks and just chicks in general. “ you don’t get no hoes.” I showed them now I’m empowered. I gotta have sex like everyday or every other day.
You can't just wanna rap like him anymore. Artists like him are challenging his listeners and fans by confronting these issues head-on. And openly processing them with brutal honesty. Bravo to him.
Lol you are a joke
This is exactly what made Eminem a legend and now K Dot a legend. They used their art to speak about their weakness and craft their rhymes to show they humans just like any of us.

@Nicolas RD Yeah, he did. That song Good Guy feat Jessie Reyes I believe may be another 1 similar to how toxic he can be with women too...or was with his woman. I think its that 1...or maybe I'm getting it confused with another song of his. Idk 🤔
This album made me sad cause Kendrick is someone I think highly of and him admitting to all these falls makes you realize anyone is susceptible to failure
he's human too!
Bruh what...are you like 9 years old
But see it’s okay to fail , nobody’s perfect and you learn from your transgressions. I think it’s dope for him to tap into that and let his fans know what’s really going on. We all have failed, everyone is learning and evolving. And that’s okay
Admitting his falls make me think even more highly of him..saints have past, sinners have a future...everything is everything, men are just men..your failures don't define you, it's your will to do better or not...
Get off his meat lol. Don’t put anyone in the flesh on a pedestal
The love of my life has a lust addiction and there is no way I could ever go back - but it’s always beautiful to see people come clean about the mistakes they’ve made in the past. That’s the only way to heal and be forgiven so this is uncomfortable to hear but the vulnerability is incredible. As someone who has vices outside of lust, I understand how hard it is to break free from a pattern of addiction. His self awareness is very healing to hear.
What I love about kendrick is that he really respects his fans/audience by not insulting their intelligence or being misleading. He understands hes held in such a high regard. Hes percieved by many to be a morale compass, of high character, an idol, infallible, and can do no wrong. But he knows thats not the case. Hes human like everyone else. He felt like he had a responsibility, esp becuz of being in that position, to not be a hypocrite. He felt he had a morale obligation not lie to himself by being real n staying true to himself n his supporters. U can feel that through out the album. It's dangerous to be idolized n he expresses that in many ways.
Humanity, the complexity n the conflcitions of being human, is a constant theme through out the album. The pressure of that n the power in that is heavy. I dont think he was trying to be trendsetting or reinvent the wheel. It seems like his message is real change/freedom starts with doing right by n bein real with oneself. Dont be in denial confront it all for u n yours sake. It's ok to make mistakes or have problems as long as ur willing to put in work to evolve n learn from it. Free urself. Dont be a slave or beholden to an image or a perception u inevitably cant uphold or are not.
Very well said 🙏🏼

this album is full of very insightful lines. I like how he really opens up in his music because its so easy to listen to. he goes through very personal struggles like you and I. He may have been unfaithful, but his redemption is a sign of strength and he writes about it so beautifully.
Kendrick is not a rapper. Kendrick is an Artist in the purest form. Always has been. His transformation has come full circle.
My thoughts were pain, anger and sadness. The fact that so many of our women in the spotlight have to deal with this behavior is so frustrating. Why? Why do you get to fxck half the world and we as women have to deal with that, beg you to go to therapy and then bear your children? It's so frustrating as a woman to keep hearing this narrative. This is the first song I heard on the album and I cried because I was so full of rage. I love Kendrick and his music, I was so disappointed to learn that he cheated and with many. Two things can be true at the same time: I can love his music and at that same time, if I was Whitney, wouldn't be able to move forward until I broke his nose. Those two things can be true at the same time, idgaf that he admitted to it and healed from it, just don't fxcking do it. Stop fxcking cheating on us. And stop waiting til y'all drag us through HELL to fxcking go to therapy!!! Love the song, love him, and hoping for the best for his family.
You're right. You can have both those 2 feelings at the same same time.
he's human too
@ruvie You shouldn't let anyone drive you to the point where you have to physically abuse them. Imagine if a man said he could love a woman but still be angry to smack her in the face if she cheated. That's usually one of the excuses men give when they abuse women.
My neighbor had this mentality. His wife cheated on him a lot. He finally left her but was stupid to be beating on her. Women shouldn't be beating on men just like men shouldn't be beating on women.
In America, men and women cheat at the same percentage. This advocating for violence against each other needs to stop. If someone cheats on you and you can't deal with that bs, then just leave. It makes no sense catching a case over someone who does that. If you do choose to forgive them, then you have to do so fully to move on in the relationship. This beating on them ideology is bs.
@@TripleSeven777Life Thank you for sharing, I appreciate that because it gave me a different perspective. I can tell this is something that you are passionate about. I need to think about and look at why this situation is so triggering for me to even fantasize about acting out of my character. I think also I don't want to condone rage either though. That sometimes people do things that make you want to slap their face off, shit even your own parents or kids. But i agree with you that the world needs more peace, less violence against each other and that there are a lot of people without that self-control and restraint (there have been so many fatal road rage incidents like people getting shot on highways for simple things like accidentally cutting someone off, which is terrifying). I wonder what healthy ways can rage be channeled into. I appreciate this dialogue. Thank you.
*Also I agree that domestic violence works both ways and NEITHER are acceptable.
@@CreativeEricafilms Yes, unfortunately our first reaction as humans is violence when we are wronged. Self-control definitely doesn't come automatically. It takes training and willpower over time. When it is used though it can safeguard our lives and those of others. Of course, if you are attacked self defense is needed but violence should never be the first option.
I also appreciate the positive dialogue. You seem to be a very introspective and critical thinker. Love and respect! 🙂.
As a male Kendrick fan
Pros:
Good album
Addressed imperfections
Deconstruct savior complex
Good music
He knows he fucked up
He could have hid all this but he didnt
Cons:
Lost some respect for him
Cheating is unforgivable
I dont envy Whitney hes going on tour again soon imagine he chucks this therapy out the window and cheats..again. Anxiety and trust issues galore
He was rapping about Loyalty at one point...damn
I expected better from him but if there is one thing you can expect from humans and never be disappointed is the fact they will inevitably disappoint you
Women shouldnt be expected to be dogged out constantly by their S.O and be praised for staying instead of leaving wtf
Kendrick shouldnt be praised for any of this and I dont think he thinks he should either but people still will because they still idolize him even when he says not to on this album. People are crazy
Double standard a woman physically cheats most men would not forgive a lot of them would get violent
It's like the Chris Brown thing celebrities can do super fucked up things and be given a pass where for normal people it could destroy their whole reputation and social life and they would lose their job. R Kelly did heaps of bad things some people will still jam his music which is terrible but humans are again imperfect
Cheating is not to be condoned by either gender period
Side note:
These people saying cheating is normal, everyone cheats, you would cheat too in his position, monogamy is unnatural and polyamory is. Disgust me on a very deep level. Absolutely not
finally someone making sense in the comments
Thank you; you gave valid points without being sexist. I completely agree, as a (woman) fan.

The side note was everything. I’m sick of men gaslighting how it’s normal to be cheated on and monogamy is unrealistic. That’s so not true.

Kendrick was DEAD ASS WRONG for cheating on his fiance, YES. But his music is powerful and simply dope AF. Whether or not his fiance forgives him is up to her. I don't condone cheating AT ALL. But I respect honesty. But Kendrick has to figure out if he really loves this woman he's set to marry. Because his actions don't show that.
And he knows he was DEAD ASS wrong, hence therapy and owning up to it 🙄
The simplicity of the instrumental makes you appreciate his vulnerability in the song.
Thoughts on cheating on his now fiancé, he’s a big man for admitting it. But I don’t blame him. The fame would of made any other man do worse and deny it but he openly expressed it and worked on his addictions which I hope has help improve his relationship with his partner and overall family.
bs
I get where you approaching from but He is to be blamed. It's not somebody put a gun to his head and said cheat on your wife. And don't sidetrack it saying oh fame made him do it. He chose to do it. But what's great about it He repented, seeked therapy and whats more wonderful is his wife forgave him.
I wouldn't say I don't blame him. Yes he's a legendary artist and definitely I think for most of us here, his music played a huge role in our development (for those around my age being 21) BUT how can we not have the same energy towards the things he's done, the way he himself admits to his own vices. At the end of the day he hurt his partner, and i think not blaming him for his own actions actually ironically in this sense distorts the actual reality of what happened and makes us see a Saint instead of a human.
@@imunzni7069 he didnt cheat on his wife. She just recently because his fiance.
@@rethabilemolefe7564 // yeah, i get what you mean, but are you saying that he should’ve kept all this under the rug?
Plus, I’m sure he talked to his fiancé about this track - if they’re okay with it, then so be it
I don't care how creative you get, only to announce that you have been cheating, still hurts the other partner. She could give two Fkz about a well thought through and passive song. Only if men could put forth that much energy not to cheat, women could appreciate that far more.
Thank you 👏🏾

@lil auzy it’s no excuse he’s a cheater
@@kimirakash999 I feel you but that doesn't give people the right to hurt you or me. We all have a sad story, yet we have to learn how to live again mentally, spiritually, physically and financially within this world and life. I've been taking fast a lot in my life as well but I have to remember that everyone didn't do what others may have done to me. GROWTH
@@lesliegarner3574 yes to that 🙌🏾
proud of him to admit it and own up instead of lie and deny. all that money and fame brings demons out of good men. with an insane amount of women throwing themselves at you it'd be next to impossible to resist it yk
It’s true, he did the hard thing. It’s easy to just lie and pretend for people who may think you’re above making certain choices but he showed us himself flaws and all, always has and I think that’s what I appreciate the most from Kendrick
True, it's almost inevitable to cheat when you in this position, money power fame easy women bring the worst in a good man out...
all that money and fame is the reason why he can admit it and be accepted
Lol I really don't think it's that hard to just stay faithful
Hov did that so hopefully you don't have to go through that
Congratulating yourself for doing the bare minimum, having your children thanking you for it... wtf
Honestly smh
Crazy how he always talked about loyalty in interviews and songs oh well
If she did this, he would’ve left no question 💯💯💯
Indeed man are different
He’s filthy rich tho. Of course she’s gonna stay 😂
@@L0-C01 i also think like u
@@L0-C01 you're actually braindead if you think that was the reason lol. She could've left him and milked money out of him as the mother of his children. But instead she chose to stick by him and forgive him.
@@L0-C01And she would get a ton of money that would be in HER name if she left 🥴
Ppl act like kendrick didn’t drop me morale without her blessing that’s crazy
Wow, really? I didn't know this
Perfect he admits and accept being human open to work to be much better. Respect and love to him ❤❤❤
It’s been like 10 years since she’s been his fiancé. Damn
😅I don't think he's going to marry her. What they waiting for?
Being honest about horrible behavior doesn’t make it any less horrible. I’ve experienced infidelity and it’s the worst long-lasting feeling I’ve ever experienced. Kendrick cheating on his woman is abusive and traumatizing. It causes deep-rooted trust issues, risks STDs that could ruin her future sex and love life, and he wasted her time for his own selfish desires, causing so much pain, risking her body and life, all for sex…Evil. He needs to be better and do everything he can to ATTEMPT to make it up to her.
He doesn’t downplay it as making it less horrible. He literally calls out his ignorance in his act and constantly questions whether forgiveness should even be an option for him. I suggest u relisten to the song
@@joeritos6849 He should marry her
If you do not have many vices, sex is the easiest one to fall prey to. Respect to him for admiting to this
If males could have sex everyday with a different woman until the end of their life without society blaming them for this bullcrap, they would do it..sex is the more basic animalistic instinct in masculine nature, women don't get it cuz they have Access to sex easily lol...why do people think men watch that much porn?
Just curious? Why is it so easy for you? For me I can control it. Why can I control it? I don’t understand. Is it possible I have a gift

@@galactus9625 yes really lol
This New Kendrick Lamar album is a Different type album than alot of his projects he's done, but overall, this album is Kendrick solid/ Personal album to me 💯
You can tell on this album Kendrick Lamar has been going thru alot
It gets better with every listen. It's a musical.
i mean that's what he's been trying to do the whole time...each album different than the last, something different all the time (on his projects). He said in on a typed interview i think it was a relevantly new one with Baby Keem after Keem dropped his debut.
@@chrisb.heckons637 you got a good point💯, every other album don't have to sound the same, cause most of the times, you gotta evolve. otherwise, them fans be complaining about 'why this rapper sounds the same on every song' or ' I want the GKMC OR TPAB Kendrick'. you gotta appreciate the music the way it is.
He's already going through therapy, this was a honest confession of a man who admits to his problems. This song was just amazing from start to finish. Hell this whole album. Just listened to it again. I respect Kendrick for being as honest and raw with his fans as he is on here. Opens up the idea that it's comfortable for people to talk about stuff like this with people. Normalizing being real with the future generation. So we all can know it's ok to talk it out with the ones you love.
Trying to normalize cheating and disloyalty is not being real gtfoh w that bs
@@raisingthebar5766 so someone cheats, apologizes, goes to therapy, makes his amends, and is genuinely sorry, and you still can't find it in your heart to forgive em at all?
@@talkitup1970 I agree. To me It shows emotional intelligence, which is something people need to work on. Some people make mistakes but when a person admits it and seeks help, that is the best thing that person can do for their self and their loved ones.
@@talkitup1970 You're right. Nobody's perfect but the problem is people who glorify it, then use every excuse in the book to try to justify their wrong actions. I think I took what you were trying to say out of context but I understand where you're coming from.
@@raisingthebar5766except nobody is glorifying it because we actually listened to what he was saying
The album is CRACKKKKKK! Kendrick is always putting albums that are pure 🔥🔥🔥🔥 In today's rap music, which is 98% trash, Kendrick is different from most. Definitely a breath of fresh air.
He didn’t have loyalty loyalty loyalty lol
Disappointed. Since he talks about loyalty being important
😂😂
lol
He also mentioned it in "United in Grief" - the girl with the green eyes from the tour he did in Chicago. He said they shared stories of trauma, specifically losing a loved one to gun violence.
he has always been a breath of fresh, intelligent air....not much of that anymore sadly! AOTY right here. man's a damn legend.
I mean to be fair we do get great Hip Hop it's just not mainstream unfortunately
@@thedon0516 exactly!!! it's very frustrating
I'm so glad that he did the work on himself and his relationship. More of us need to do it. I hope many take his example and not only heed it but imitate the changes he saw fit to make. We all need healing and growth.
That relationship will never be the same again ijs

It’s not like she didn’t know before this song
@@blyndfold4336 True she just their bc he popular. Let him been a regular dude 🤣
@@mr.smellgood2794 they stay all the time. Some don’t cheat back. That’s what makes it easier to look at yourself. Finding good people isn’t rare it’s just not openly appreciated.

How can you cheat on your woman though. I will never understand. Just selfish having your cake and eating it.
I agree. I love this album, but I believe if you want to sleep with multiple people you should be single, PERIOD.
Nobodys perfect
I appreciate rappers like Kendrick that can expose their flaws with everything else they talk about

Where? I read they been engaged for years

@@quintonmiller8266 they are not married. A simple google search will tell you this
That’s just sad. If he knew he had an addiction why didn’t he just end the relationship? I hate the fact that we commend women for “sticking by her man” whenever a man cheats. If he really loved her he wouldn’t put her in that place
Facts. 💯 I couldn’t be me. I’m not that dumb.
@@tinyking11 facts.
And yet let a man’s wife/fiancé cheat on her, she gone fr. Hypocrisy.
Yall all sound stupid!!! Everyone can speak on what they WOULD DO…. Is your own relationship without flaws. Is it without problems? Oh that’s right everyone speaking on it probably not in a relationship of their own. Talking bout what she should do…. That’s THEIR relationship. All y’all need to STFU. Social media got people thinking that opinions actually matter. They don’t
One, this song is on disc 2. An opening song of "count me out" where it's seems the entire album had been therapy and disc 2 is breakthrough (as it was spoken). Even the song Mr. Morale predicts he's gonna talk heavy in the next song 'Mother I Sober", anyway, the trauma he spoke on sex addiction becomes a much more understudy aspect of sexual assault and r*pe amongst black families and how has a connection to what slave masters made our ancestors do. Would be nice if you have included that info here. There's a round collective reason to his hurt and lack of commitment at one point and this song was a brilliant detail to how we shove this stuff under the rug. As black women we speak out at some time but black men don't have that space and seeking therapy is so frowned upon. I hope this song inspired some people , especially black men listeners too. His vulnerability in this topic specifically isn't common among hip hop. I think his scratchy tired voice in this song also felt like he is SO stressed (despression) of living like he was. And his shouting in the end was his breakthrough to break the generational curse. Beautiful song.
I've never been one to "forgive and forget" because if forgiveness depends on me forgetting that's something that was always a gift and and curse, but I respect those who can because it takes alot of strength mentally to understand he is truly sorry by hes changed behavior. Because that last bit at the end had me tearing up.
THIS ALBUM IS VERY IMPORTANT! PEOPLE SHOULDN'T RATE IT FOR NOW! THESE ISSUES NEED TO HE ADDRESSED!
Him & J Cole made that confessions MANY TIME! If you’re listening… if you’re a real fan
You missed the part where he talked about his mother accusing his cousin of malesting him and he told her that never happened but they didn't believe him
that has nothing to do with the topic of this video
@@arancienne is that why his mom got beat up
We are human. Perfection is unattainable. We f**k up. We learn. We grow. We transform.
Mother I Sober is the best song on the album and this is why!
If you ain’t been in the journey this whole time you def won’t appreciate it
This the one.
If humble made u a Kendrick Lamar fan, welcome, but have a seat when it comes to labeling what this album is ctfu
I connected so much with a lot things that he was saying. It made me shed a lot of tears and reflect on my self healing journey. I'm getting through it all bit by bit. It's been very hard, but I ain't giving up at all!!!

Wow. A rapper cheated on his wife. How shocking
Bruh 💀
I’m glad he got his mental together. It’s all about finding the right therapist, who is new but seasoned (like me 😂) who help us hurt by generational trauma heal
Kendrick is wrong for cheating
But it is commendable to not only admit your mistakes but to also put work into fixing yourself.
THAT is worthy of praise, not the cheating itself.
Also I think it should be common knowledge by now that you should never treat your favorite musicians as gods who can do no wrong, they are just as flawed as you and me. Otherwise you are just setting up unfair expectations.
Why he tell on himself? 😂Damn! Drake said he was a dog and dang being on tour for months at a time yeah tempting at every show probably.
I'm late but I agree with u 100%
I had no idea that’s what that song was like. That’s amazing. Man writing is incredible
Sex addiction is a real thing. Hyper sexuality is no joke.
Of course it exists, but the person who suffer from it should not be in a relationship
@@janad996 well yea you’re right I get what you’re saying. But most people don’t discover their mental illnesses until they’re in relationships. His sex addiction probably didn’t show up until down the line in their marriage. Sex addictions do manifest in different ways whether it be porn addiction, risky sex , or excessive masturba1ion
Sex addiction has been disproven. He's just selfish. @@friedkake1876
@@friedkake1876So they suddenly start being hyper sexual only after they’re in a relationship? How does that work?
This just represents that he is human, we all have demons in our lives,it just takes a bigger man to own them , and have the courage to fight them.Thanks for sharing KL, it’s what makes us love you even more.❤️❤️❤️
I didn’t like this album at first then I listened to it going through some s!$t and 😮omg it’s a beautiful masterpiece.
Such a good album
Kendrick has soul, he is his own worst critic and he airs his own dirty laundry. You can tell this is real pain and we need more artists like him. Eminem tore himself up in the relapse album and then came out stronger, I'm praying Kendrick comes back harder too. Everyone had their demon's, it takes courage to talk about it and I'm proud to be a fan. ❤❤
Man cheats all over the place on his forever fiancé 🙄but twice baby mama and we congratulate him on admitting something trifling to do to his girl as “vulnerable”. He gets praised for being basic in behavior but poetic in description 👀🙄
If she wasn't baby mama would that change a thing? A man in his position would probably cheat..the thing that makes him different is the fact that he was Always Seen as a moral figure And tried to be a role model unlike other rappers who just don't Care...he not only admitted his failures he Also want to do better..
@@fideletamo4292 "a man in his position would probably cheat" why do people act like men are tiny children with no conscious if you’re in a monogamous relationship with someone you truly love there’s no reason to be cheating

K Dot really just coming out here in 2022 and reshape Gangster Rap's landscape (and music as a whole) with this album.
All in broad daylight.
The absolute mad lad.
It was really disappointing to hear that he cheated on Whitney :(during the GKMC tour. seems like she’s been very good to him and didn’t deserve that. It’s clear that’s she’s still with him and forgiven him though so I hope he’s being very good to her! Just goes to show none of these rappers are community leaders or role models but very complex people which I think is the whole message of the album.
Edit: I also think if he’s going to continue professing his Christianity he listens to the word and avoids temptation 🙏🏿
Humans men & women have cheated since the beginning ov time no matter the profession.
Who said rappers were community leaders and role models in the first place lol, it’s common sense that they just make music that’s it they shouldn’t influence anyone’s life.
Cole X Kendrick both admiting of cheating on their spouses was shocking because they subjects tend to not be like say rappers like Drake or Future but again they are just human beings and prone to make mistakes but at least they realize it was wrong and change their ways.
@@kingsosshootaiwillslapcash6300 that is why he made the song Savior because not going to lie people do look at rappers as community leaders
It's funny how women want a man to tell literally MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of women around the globe "No thanks! I will only have sex with 1 woman for the rest of my life" when women don't even desire men that other women don't find desirable. He's just a man and she knew what she signed up for. She has to share him with the world. Women don't allow men to be faithful anyway nor do they care how the other woman feels. Y'all want what you want. She's not a victim, she's a volunteer.

Ain't nothing like being human! Kendrick being human for a minute like this is just about the most manliness, authentic, coldest, loveless, heartless, non-toxic masculinity act I've witnessed him do thus far!
If you cheat on me don't tell a soul.... that's embarrassing 😳 for me...
U learn to master your own fate from the wisdom , everyone on the planet is their own main character in this life , we gotta step up to the role to truly live a great life. Shout out K-dot
Well said
They say the album is mid...that's that trap loving pill popping lean sipping demon they have inside of em...
Kendrick's thought provoking eye opening music is holy water
who said it was mid lol? iv seen nothing but praise so far. I do It's weird how people are already ranking it like # 3 in his discography and it hasn't even been a week, I think one should sit with it before rating it.
It takes strength to admit your faults, sadly when people decide to be honest with themselves the world tends to shun them as if less human
I was saying this album reminds me of 4:44 . Glad to see others have similar feelings
I don't understand why he has a crown of thorns on his head yet is not Christlike.
It's blasphemy
Christ has always said never use your brother’s past against him. Kendrick clearly got help and turned his life personal life around. Perhaps now he’s “Christlike”.
Honestly made me cry so real and true I’m so glad they are ok now 😭😭🙌🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Long term relationships have issues and issues of ALL kinds it’s how you resolve those issues that determines if your relationship will go the distance. We are all flawed humans that’s just how it is unfortunately 😢
oh no they got him too. thats how you know being on tour is such a temptation
“They kept demanding an answer, so he stood up again and said, “All right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!””
Amen...forgive our trespassing as WE forgive those who trespass against us..
Kendrick the 🐐
It just amazes me how people choose to be so empathetic and bias when it comes to cheating but be so judgemental of some else's struggle (not related to sex). Earth is ghetto

Why yall praising this dude for cheating? yeah he got help, good. but homie shouldnt have been doin that shit from jump. If he wasnt a rapper yall would think he aint shit. This some narcissistic bullshit. He has to stand before the world to say he now realizes cheating is wrong after almost 10 years of success and yall eat it up sayin shit like”this shit emotional!

@ayeb0ssidk how people seem to misunderstand that,it’s a sore subject for many so I guess it makes sense but damn
No one praising Kendrick for cheating. Even Kendrick says in his music that he is flawed and we shouldn't look at him like a role model.
@ayeb0ssHaving accountability should be his obligation
mother i sober helped me realize that it was time to finally take action and combat my lust addiction that i had struggled with for 3 years.
kendrick cheating on his wife is inexcusable no matter how you put it, but i’m honestly really glad that he addressed it, it’s inspiring me to do better
I listen to Drake, j Cole and Kendrick and I ain't got no problem with em, when any of them drops something I play and enjoy it. I don't know how y'all study your music but I respect them as individual artists and I don't compare like this I have learned to love their music. Drawing comparisons between people sucks and is somehow disrespectful to each one's intelligence.
King Kendrick was conducting that album like an Orchestra.
Heavy Material ⚖️
The first step in recovery is admitting you have a problem.
We all have our vices and our loved ones are the those who suffer from them. That's true love that Whitney has for Kendrick to not leave instead offer help. To bare his soul like that for the world to hear is not easy. Bless Kendrick and his family.
There's only 2 ways to deal with infidelity in a monogamous relation..separation or reparation..i understand those who leave and those who forgive, forgiving is harder tho..
so would she have been wrong to leave him because he made a conscious decision to step out of their relationship and hurt her?
@@bumbleeistheequeen4052right? Like make it make sense
2 things can be true at the same time: Master piece. Powerful. Beautiful. He is the best rapper alive 100%. I love Kendrick but I am very disappointed he cheated on his partner. yeah, nice he admitted it but i dont think his point was to get praised by that. I think y'all missing the point here. he doesnt deserve props for admitting being a shitty partner. listen to what he is saying. otherwise, y'all just normalize a very hurtful way to deal with your own demons.
not to mention the fact that if she was the one cheating on him all of you would just harass her online.. so cut it off...
Far from the best rapper alive, but your other points are good.
I'm in therapy but sometimes feel like weed still has a hold on me in all the wrong ways
