I feel like this influenced more by something like streetcar named desire than Eminem. Or any of the other musical theatre pieces featuring toxic relationships.
The bar that starts at 2:22 and ends in 2:30 about his grandma dying and his dad going to work soon after her death and not grieving had Fantano making a face of almost crying and damn me If I didnt made a similar face.
Just watching this saga, it really feels like Logic wants to be taken as the kind of rapper from whom a death threat would be taken seriously but also wants to make death threats that aren't taken seriously.
God, I love Kendrick’s music so much. Only Artist that makes me emotional no matter how many times I listen to it. Thank you kendrick for healing and guiding the youth 💯
He usually is very strong at the beginning. Providing exceptional choruses, first verses and intros. But as the track or album progresses, his effort wanes and we end up with a lackluster closing. This wasn't a big problem in his past, it could be that he's stretching himself thin with all the frequent album releases. Hopefully he gets back to his earlier offerings
I don’t think Kendrick thinks his dad is as “shitty” it could have been worse. From what I could gather from the song and the little bits of his voicemail in Section 80. I think Kendrick’s dad tried his best to impart lessons he himself gathered throughout life even if those lessons were misguided. I believe his dad truly cared for him and tried to protect him from a dangerous world that capitalizes on the weaknesses people show it.
It definitely is part of the therapy sessions motif, at first you go over all the ways your dad or both your parents fucked you up, how those things you struggle today have deep roots, but as you go deeper and understand how most of the times tried to give you the best they could, including raising us and teaching us, they had their own demons and fears and mistakes, and the last step is forgiving and healing because this world just fucks us up, and you learn to forgive and love them even if they hurt you (and you want to forgive them some parents didn’t do their bests and it’s up to you to decide to forgive them and have them in your life or not)
