Philosophy and hip-hop all in one video, this is like a perfect intersection of my interests
I dont understand how people say kendrick’s last album was boring. ITS INSANE
Anthropology major here, having anthropological concepts be applied to one of my favorite artists was a joy. The combining two things I love! Well done great video
Kendrick is so dope he's one of the most unique rappers I've heard in years
Sisyphus talking about Kendrick Lamar was not on my 2024 bingo card
Does Kendrick know about this Video?
This video shows why Kendrick is the greatest rapper alive
Such a well-put analysis. Surprising to see that there's no mention of The Heart Part 5, as it encompasses the themes of this video quite well.
Yup, all very accurate but I feel that you did not mention something everyone is aware of yet is still important to this exploration. He did it in style. Not just in a book or mediocre music but in world renowned and still popular music. Sometimes it is simple and stripped down and sometimes it is complex and jazzy. Whatever fits the needs of the song. It is on point and stylish. It is appealing.
How this video only got recommended to me now is beyond me. This style of commentary on not only just philosophical figures and literature is a great area to explore. I hope you make more akin to this.
Kendrick’s albums To Pimp a Butterfly and Damn have an interesting intersection with the two most popular works of Kierkegaard, “Fear and Trembling” and “The Sickness unto Death”, where Kierkegaard makes mention of the caterpillar and butterfly allegory as a vessel to portray that it’s the quality of a lower nature to forget yourself and become something new. Also in the case of Damn it has a heavy relation to what Kierkegaard lays out in his “Sickness unto death” which would align with his points made about those who are in despair either become weakened or made wicked.
I believe that philosophy and hip hop go quite well with each other.
one of Kendricks best examples is "the art of peer pressure". it embodies what so many young black men go through and why they fall down a road of crime.
thank god for Kendrick Lamar
As someone who studies the sociology, history, and anthropology of my ethnic group, this video's framing (combined with your production skills) is delightful to watch. Kendrick's unique perspective is so captivating and relevant because of his introspection and raw lyrical talent. His music gives me, as a non-black person, perspective that I will never be able to have (understanding of course, Kendrick is just one person and his perspective does not speak for all black people). You can never truly understand what it's like to be someone from a different ethnic/racial/socioeconomic group than you. All you can do is listen to those who wish to share their experiences and try to empathize. Kendrick fortunately, is a remarkable story teller.
We cannot undermine the efforts made by Sis to deliver such awe-inspiring content. It is creators like Sis and artists like Kendrick that allow us to step out of our own boundaries. My whole life I’ve yearned to become a part of something greater than myself, and it’s shared knowledge like this that act as a stepping stone on my journey. As always, bless you Sis.
I would LOVE for you to make a similar video on Earl Swearshirt. His stuff has so many layers
Turns out Kendrck's entire existence could be summed up as calling Drake out on his bullshit. Worthwhile. King Kunta
Dawg, the wicked vs weak turmoil is something that I struggle with every single day of my life. Thank you for shining that light.
