@MicahCohn 3 года назад

I agree. But scientifically, our brains are out off by new music around age 30. The most important years of our lives in terms of finding and appreciating music are 12-22. Throughout our life our brains will always prefer the music of our youth. But I do agree with you, it’s not important that they listen to it in their free time, but take the time to appreciate it. It’s not easy. Our brains make it difficult.

They are aware that Swimming Pools is ACTUALLY about, - Kendrick Lamar talking about his grandfather's addiction to alcohol. - Kendrick's personal addiction to alcohol by peer pressure. The metaphor around the term "Swimming Pools" is being so addiction to alcohol, that you're constantly "swimming" in it.

@pubgplayer1720 2 года назад

@Sheesh Beesh It's blatantly obvious though that the theme is "drowning" in alcohol while telling your conscience to fuck off while doing so. These people are just as blind as bats and as oblivious as anything when it comes to newer music.

They showed songs from To Pimp a Butterfly, Swimming Pools is legit the least encrypted one, King Kunta is his view on the world and the industry as a black man making it through, Alright is about how even through all the oppression they’re going to make it out alright, Blacker the Berry is the biggest one and is what a lot of people consider his best song- it’s a look into black and black violence and how we can only take action on white and black violence once we figure how to settle gang violence and whatnot, and even if we go into rhyme patterns they’re significantly better compared to how they were in Swimming Pools during Good Kid Maad City

@HighriseSuicides 7 лет назад

Really wished they would've went into more depth as to what Kendrick is saying in his music especially in Swimming Pools because I bet more than half of the elders didn't even realize that the song wasn't actually glorifying drinking which someone may think without actually paying attention to the lyrics

You can't just give the ELDERS a Kendrick song to listen to, without them reading the lyrics and appreciating the message of kendricks lyrics. Especially since they all are close minded to the type of music that Kendrick makes (Rap)
