You guys know how whenever you listen to an album or movie over and over again you hear new things you did not notice each time? I just caught that "Ima get my Uncle Sam to fukk you up...you ain't no king" line on the second track "
man Kendrick thought out every line on this album...I missed that line completely..That is exactly what your both talking about...its those small lines decades from now that are gonna stand out.
"We shoulda never gave Common money....go back home...money go back home"

Then the next track leads into King Kunta and how Kendrick reminiscence how he was that nikka after GKMC
Didn't even pick that up.
oh, and on Wesley's Theory last verse was "Uncle Sam" rapping then at the end with Anna Wise singing Tax Man coming getting louder and louder
never heard a mainstream hip hop artist put his white fans on blast like kendrick did on mortal man. most of these cacs probably wont notice because they're too busy stanning/pretending like they liked the 2pac interview because.... you know #90SHIPSTERLIFEBRAH 
but i guarantee the majority of those hipster ironic hip hop culture vulture fans are ignoring what pac is saying too. 
that's assuming they even realize that is 2pac before they read it on their favorite hipster blog or rapgenius.
anyway mortal man has just become my favorite track on the album. passed up the how much a dollar cost
this album is deep as fukk. i was trying to avoid the cliche comments early on in the thread. but every time i listen to this shyt i discover another level to this shyt. its really dense. people giving kneejerk proclamations on it have a distorted opinion and value of music imo.

This is a legitimate argument, but at the end of the day there's hood nikkas who ain't really hood nikkas. I relate to Kendrick because I'm one of them, grew up in the worst part of my city and was shielded from a lot of it. Kendrick's story really speaks to me, and nikkas who ain't from the hood can get to understand what it's like from Kendrick's music. The REAL hood nikkas, surprisingly, are the main critics when it comes to hip-hop so Kendrick has to go out of his way to convince them that his music is dope. If you make the music for hood nikkas then you alienate the other 95% of your potential fanbase, because hood nikkas are so backwards that half the shyt they fukk with, nobody else would like.
The dualities of this fukkery
Sad part is,there are posters that co sign "real hood shyt" that would
@ Kendrick because he ain't "real" enough for them, and say that some bullshyt like Young Thug or Migos are better artists than him; off of thfact that they got club hits. 
The streets really only dikkride some commercial hits and underground hits with 808s.
