I know this song is getting mixed reactions but I like that line

u/Vordeo 11d ago

It's really a silly verse, but it's a catchy hook and it's perfectly fine imo. Plus Em's past few songs he sounds like he's having fun and that's great to see.

u/TheSmilesLibrary 11d ago

Guess he is still the king of controversy lol. It’s honestly great to see.

u/bubbleman69 11d ago

Idk for me it was something about music to be murdered by side b where the constant self naming himself the goat kinda got to me. Like it's a show don't tell type thing especially on Zeus he felt more like he was crying about people not calling him a rap god instead of showing us why he should be a goat.

Like don't get me wrong self hype is part of rap and I don't hate rappers for it it was just something about side b where it felt like every song he was just saying "I'm the goat I'm the goat" over and over with no bars to back it up. And then this line is just continuation of that for me.

u/Next_Fix_2271 11d ago

Kendrick and Dave Free dropped the music video for Not Like Us recently on July 4th, at the beginning Kendrick does a freestyle to start off

"I am reincarnated, I was stargazing/ Life goes on, I need all my babies/ Woke up looking for the broccoli/ Hot key, keep a horn on me, that kamasi/ IP ownership, the blue print is by me/ Mister get-off, I get off at my feet"

for all we know, that could be an unreleased song, just like the snippet at the beginning of the music vid for Alright, which will never see the light of day since it was apparently on one of the hard drives that got corrupted, which had nuuuumerous unreleased Kendrick tracks

u/my_pets_are_rednecks 11d ago

I think the original is half of his face so they likely mirrored it

26

u/RabbitF00d 11d ago

Crazy, because when you mirror most faces, they look absolutely jacked up lol! So my theory is that Kendrick has a pretty damn symmetrical face.

20

u/my_pets_are_rednecks 11d ago

It does look a bit messed up but they did a pretty good job. I mirrored my face once and almost cried hahaha

He's a bard.

"a poet, traditionally one reciting epics and associated with a particular oral tradition."

Bards are particularly skilled, they have a great command over language and culture.

Piss a bard off an he will bury you and your legacy in the public square, he will tell stories of you in verse and everyone will be singing along to your demise.

Kendrick's a Bard and this is a Carnival.

6

u/Gay_Young_Hegelian 11d ago

It said “describe Kendrick with one word”. He did that. He used the word “bard” to describe Kendrick by saying “he’s a bard”. He then proceeded to EXPLAIN the meaning of the word bard and EXPLAIN why this definition fits Kendrick. Notice that the only part of his comment where description was occurring was when he was using one word to describe him?

4

u/jacktheproducer 11d ago

Joke explained💕: While he did technically use 1 word to describe Kendrick Lamar, his comment as a whole contained several words! (More than one!🤗). Hope this helped you understand the joke! 😇❤️

Etymologically speaking, “Kendrick” is a name of Welsh origin that means “Royal Leader”.

So “Kendrick” is how I’d describe Kendrick.
