Kendrick Lamar - The Blacker The Berry (Prod. by Boi-1da)

[Xtraz2]

What's the message that these "young dudes should get?

stop killing each other, you got a problem with that mr "black excellence"?

 

[Matt504]

stop killing each other

I'm pretty sure they know they shouldn't be killing each other, what alternatives is Kendrick offering?

Are the Black people who kill other Black people doing it for fun or just to pass time?

 

[Piff Perkins]

I'd be real interested in seeing Kendrick's facial reaction after being asked straight up whether he has shot or killed someone. He'd never snitch on himself verbally but...something seems off. Maybe it's just a narrative/literary device but it seems like he's confessing through music.

Maad City:
"If I told you I killed a nikka at 16, would you believe me?
Or see me to be innocent Kendrick you seen in the street"

Blacker The Berry:
"Been feeling this way since I was 16, came to my senses"

"So why did I weep when Trayvon Martin was in the street?
When gang banging make me kill a nikka blacker than me?
Hypocrite!"

It's probably just a literary device but still I'm curious.

If he did kill someone, should he confess and turn himself in for that murder?

That nikka ain't killed nobody.






Then again, it's always the ones you least expect

Spoiler

Kendrick can't offer any alternatives, he can just offer advice

if you love yourself as a black man put tha guns down and killing another black man is not tha answer

If you listen to wut he saying in his interviews and his new songs it's all about starting tha healing process from within

You have to love yourself as a black man, once you have came to that realization you won't want harm another black man who is a mirror image of yourself

maybe tha lyrics are too deep for your dumbass to understand?

Black people aren't shooting each other up just because we don't love each other, if we all somehow developed an unconditional love for each other right this second, do you think Black on Black crime would stop, do you seriously believe that?

[Xtraz2]

You can tell tha Coli militants with tha Inferiority complex "bu bu bu wut are CACs gon a think about this??!!!"

who gives a fukk?

tha message is more important than how tha CACs gon interpret it, Kendrick realizes this and makes music for his people

you inferiority complex having militants are tha main ones that need to be soaking Kendricks message of loving yourself and not givin a fukk wut CACs think!

 

[lightbearerchef]

I aint listenin 2 shyt till u drop that album nicca!

Of course it would reduce greatly

reread wut I wrote, I said it STARTS with that FIRST!!!

repeat that to yourself, you seem to be missing that message

that duznt mean that's tha only issue! Hell yeah there's racial injustice and systematic oppression! Kendricks addressed that thousands of times, even on this very song

but how many years of protests have happened and have these CACs actually changed anything??? No!!!

so wut do you suggest? Keep protesting? Or take initative and make a real change? That's wut Kendrick is advocating

He touched on that subject in many songs including ignorance is bliss

That would certainly be interesting, wouldn't it. Drop another classic album, confess to your crimes, go to jail, retire from rap.
