Kendrick Lamar says he's been battling depression His Whole life

[(Nope)]

Again for you Youtube rappers and super tough street guys.

Does it fit all 4 characteristics of a disease concept?

(1) a clear biological basis; (2) unique, identifiable signs and symptoms; (3) predictable course and outcome; and (4) the inability to control the disease

The answer is yes.

And if any treatment works, it's a miracle.

Niggas really eat this shit up. Like is this some kind of edge? The I'm a multi millionaire woe is me look? Really niggas? "I knew there was more to the greatness" you my nigga sion but Foh b.

Depression is no joke

Word to Robbin Williams.

Kendrick just needs to hit the studio and put everything on paper and put it in a rap.

Dont do no dumb shit like taking your own life that's a cowards way out.

Who are you to say it's a cowards way out? You have no idea what despair people who kill themselves are going through. Is Ab-Soul's ex a coward for taking her life?

I'm a man of GOD and it is a sin to take your own life.

There's always gonna be someone on earth who has it worse than you do. Taking your own life isnt gonna resolve anything. Yes I think taking your own life makes you a coward those are the ones who give up quick and thinking they're taking the EASY way out. Look for help and tell someone what's going on don't think killing yourself will solve that issue for you, then you'd have to address GOD about that.

Not saying I don't feel bad for those who have taken their own lives but there's always another solution then death

Thank you for this fam.

We in an era where these dudes will side and take the word of a rapper over the word of God.

"If you believe in God, you can survive Ebola yo'. You just need some snake-oil and some of Doctor McPhearson's magical elixir".

^^^ That's what the text you willfully ignorant and antiquated thinking motherfuckers type, reads like. Depression is a disease, respect it.

Word to Joe Budden and Em

The same people in here praising Kendrick for reveling his bouts with depression, saying he needs to put it on wax; are the same people in the Buddens thread clowning him for doing the same thing. Smh

No the coward way out is to take innocent peoples lives before you take yours... That Is A Coward!

I agree with ya, but i hope you're not the type of person that believes that been fat is also a disease.

Depression isn't a moment thing breh.. Its best to just not be able to understand than to call it a coward mood.. And when you're battling depression the last thing on your mindis what other ppeople have it worse.. You're in your own world and its crumbling around you.. The family in Haiti with no water and lights doesn't exist to you..

Honesty speaking I can relate to what Kendrick meant when he said he is in a great place, but doesn't know why he is angry or mad.

That's a sign of depression. Something I didn't realize I struggle with my whole life until this year when shit got maaaaaaad dark for me, to the point of feeling brain dead and numb. Its not a emo feeling, its more so like a disease where you starting questioning why is it happening, and finding a way to get out of it. I'm still figuring out things but more so appreciating things I do have and accomplished, which helps.

And the whole Idea of athesim probably would have killed me honestly. At a younger age, I HEAVILY considered it, but the fear of God and going to hell eternally kept me away from committing DAT Lol. So people can say what they want about what's real, I personally need God, because life itself can be too much for any human being to take.

There are weak and there are strong. Being depressed doesn't make you weak. Knowing you are depressed and doing nothing about it because you like feelimg sorry for yourself makes you weak.

There are plenty of ways to fight depression. You have to hate being depressed though.

Real shit. I hate being depressed and honestly it was embarrassing and ether when a female friend of mine told me straight up that she can tell. I was mad AF haha

 

[silverfoxx]

It's good he is saying something about it publicly but I was under the impression that everybody in the world, particularly in the US suffered from depression from time to time. Suicidal thoughts are natural, so is being paralyzed by disappointment and fear but not moving on is unnatural along with ending your own life.

Some people dont have the luxury of calling it a disease, but that doesnt make it any different. Life sucks, so what... You're not special for being depressed and you dont need medication. Aspergers is a bullshit disease that they use to label anti-social people

I've dealt with depression all my life, but I dont expect any sympathy points for it

Its not your fault. *in Brian Griffin voice*

 

[irite]

You can tell by his music tbh

exactly this

unfortunately for the artists but happily for the fans, depression, heavy drug use, family issues etc seem to provoke and inspire the best types of music..hell, art in general, and you know kdot got something special about him and his work

doesnt work for everyone though. look at soulo, his girl died on him and he still put out that latest garbage. i suppose we can excuse him somewhat cus he doesnt seem to have any eyes

People won't admit it, but that's why Hip Hop is important. Three years ago, this thread would never happened and people on the IC would clown each other. Now that we have artists like K Dot, they leaders and we follow subconsciouslly. I'll be the first one to admit it, I ain't egotistical to say that bruh.

And keep fighting bro, for me I have found when you can take pride in something, love something/someone and realize the great things in this life, that can really help your mind. Find your sanctuary, and fight to stay positive and spread that energy.

I dealt with depression but my relationship with Christ helped me overcome it.

 

[(Nope)]

I'm not discounting the presence of a higher power, but it's important that we understand depression is a disease.
