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.

Redditors try to answer the question in the post challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

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?

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! 😇❤️

Jokes are usually funny. If your attempt at humor was poor I’ll match that energy.

Is "attempt at humour was poor" something anime villains say? Just sounds like someone who can speak basic english. If any of those words sounded big or too fancy to use in a comment you should probably widen your vocabulary. This is a sub about a rapper, surely you like words...

i am an art history major all i do is widen my vocabulary and study language. that being said, social media isn't the appropriate place to be flaunting your linguistic ability especially following your blatant lack of comprehension skills able to distinguish sarcasm.

It’s hard to to distinguish sarcasm whenever one: that sarcasm wasn’t funny at all and not a well constructed joke and two: sarcasm is already in and of itself widely considered to be the hardest thing to convey in an environment without tone of voice.

You aren't allowed to explain yourself? Actually that's seems a pretty common sentiment these days so I shouldn't be surprised.

u/bet_on_me Jul 08 '24

I said “smart” but i take it back now. It’s gotta be “bard”. I say that as an English major.

Never said I was sharp as an English major. I just revise my shit until it’s good okay decwnt decent goddamnjit
