ANOTHER KENDRICK LAMAR POST

I read this obviously hysterical post on Kendrick Lamar’s DAMN. And hidden messages within his songs, it feels as these lines that the author points out as “hidden Easter eggs” in the songs are obviously not real but just to poke fun at how people love to interpret things way beyond the margin of what they may actually represent and I see this shit happen on RAPGENIUS all the fucking time. For example, the author writes about the line “I transform like this / perform like this” on “DNA,” and says it is a shot at Optimus Prime, the main Transformer, (obviously, Kendrick Lamar wasn’t beefing with a fictional character Optimus Prime) but it shows the extent that niggas reach for when trying to say that a rapper’s line means something more than it actually does. This is the tendency most people have especially on Rapgenius they like to interpret shit like” The Sky is Blue” and say “Oh the rapper obviously meant the Sky is blue, blue is sadness, the sky is in the air, the air is the world, the world is therefore sad” like nah nigga… the rapper was just stating the obvious the SKY is fucking blue that’s it. But I do agree that a lot of rappers do have hidden messages especially a GENIUS like Kendrick Lamar, he is bound to say some dope shit you gotta listen to 1000 times to finally grasp it, but stop thinking that everyone has some dope triple meaning shit, they don’t, not everybody is that nice, even the nice ones don’t mean to do this triple illusion shit all the time. Anyway enough of my rant, that was my take on this article from MEDIUM.
