    Kendrick seems like such a great person. Total role model. Like when they make a dig on someone, even jokingly, he doesn't judge them, like he'll laugh a little bit so they aren't feeling weird, and then follows it up with a compliment about that person. Even when he's talking about Ferguson and people's reaction, he doesn't seem angry, he just seems sad. That's a level of emotional intelligence that most people just don't reach.

    Ken Lamar is still the best of the current generation. He is a true artist not a reality star. He seems like he's always in the creative process and that's probably why he's not doing tons of interviews. He is a man who spends a lot of time thinking and chooses his words carefully when he speaks. Mad love and respect.

    It’s funny how he said his favorite songs were Momma and These Walls because those are mine!!! They are a vibe!!! And make me feel something. Reading the lyrics years later just makes this album so much deeper and revealing. KDOT is a true poet and visionary

    Pay attention young men. This ain't just a rapper, he's a fucking well spoken, cool, and collected man. We need more of them.

      @@ccoww yeah TPAB is sort of an acquired taste. It’s a more dense album with so many underlying meanings. I had the same problem with TPAB, but I just listened to all of those songs independently, and the more you do so, the more it makes sense. I started with Alright, and then i, u, Institutionalized, and so on and so on. It works with a lot of very dense albums. The average person can’t pick up even 30% of albums like that on the first listen.
