To be fair, Talib ain't known with the new generation.

Nigger doesn't come from negus

Its not even pronounced similarly. Its that type of pseudo-intellectual shit that grinds my gears. If nigga means negus and negus means king then why cant we just be called kings without justifying nigga?

He wasn't justifying nigga he was saying that we need to flip the term and use negus in stead. He didn't say that its alright to say nigga because it came fron negus.

Final verdict

Strong,Poignant,Relatable, funky,Intelligent,West Coastish,Dirty drum filled album

It's his most non commercial inaccessible rebellious body of work..Therefore he alienated most of his fan base who liked him for "swimming pools"...

I have a feeling this album is going to be more of a cult classic than a universally accepted classic like GKMC...

Negus was king in early 1900s. But Kendrick used Negus to show that we are royalty basically

Shit like this is why I talk to you dudes like you are dumb. Which is why these major corporations give your heroes and you shovel the shit down your throat like its sherbert. Negus is pronounced Ne-GOOS for one. For two, WE being royalty based on that is FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE. Notwithstanding the majority of Africans brought over here were from WEST AFRICA- NOT Ethiopia. Even if we were taken from there, the existence of a royal class does not denote that any and every muthafucka from the same area with the same color is royalty too. If everybody was royalty then who the fuck would the royals rule over??? Fucking dummies. This is why you need to be learning from books instead of half-cocked quasi-conscious rappers purposely sent to further confuse your slow asses and steer you away from seeking practical knowledge.

Black ppl in the West Hemp were tooken from West Africa.. It dosent mean they were from West Africa... they were tooken. They were captives...

At the time, West Africa was the empire of Africa.. The silk road connected Africa. The world, really... The Dogons are currently in west Africa, but they are originally from Kemet.

Come on Pootie

Mos maybe. Cause he actually craft songs. . Tatlib idk.

The album is a movie.

 

[EyeofAsaru]

This fame/music industry illusion is a very serious demonic force...You can add Kendrick to that long list of artists that have came out and artistically denounced the evils of the music industry...

This whole album thematically sounded like Kendrick having a serious internal conflict about the ills of fame and maintaining integrity amongst the wickedness he's around in that "world"..

I be telling niggas that music industry shit is a sick illusion..its alot of weird things happening in it..this album is like a cry for help

There's always one. That one muhfucka that absolutely refuses to let people enjoy the music without being a fuckin nuisance. You've spoken your peace. We get it. Why waste so much energy on sumin you have no intention of fuckin wit? Why not ignore it until the fanfare dies? Which, in this day, will probably be tomorrow.

Instead we get this frail lookin nigga, whose pretentious ass looks like he just left an elementary poetry slam, posing with his cousins, talkin bout: "Do you know what makes me BLACK?! Never mind my dishwasher's shoes tied too tight, or my Old Navy Tech Vest! My blackness can't be quantified by worldly possessions! Oh no! I'm BLACK because I fall asleep clutching Malcolm's memoirs! *finger snaps*

Foh you ol' high sidin' ass nigga...

It's not officially out yet, so those numbers are going to be factored into the official numbers that drop March 30th. So like I said it's a good chance he moves over 700k. Technically he has 2 and a half or 3 weeks to do 700k, not a bad situation when you think about it.

This was not part of the deal.
