like, I am so late to the culture, but Kendrick Lamar is a fucking nasty poet and I feel gleeful about getting to explore his whole catalog now? (I'm not as late as I could be, I was listening to GNX on loop in November? but I'm pretty late.) - ThreadSky

Same here. This dude is brilliant and I've been under a rock.

May I link you to some of his more amazing performances? And can I safely assume you have been thoroughly read in about the beef with Drake? :D

byzantienne.bsky.social•12 days ago

Oh I have listened to alllll the beef. But please send performances!

Coming back to this - have you seen his music videos?

venneh.bsky.social•12 days ago

Oh epilepsy warning towards the back minute, lots of strobing lights

You can’t imagine what I’d give to go back to 2012 and experience Good Kid M.A.A.D City for the first time again. Truly excited for the listening journey you’re about to go on!

me too! for all I wish I'd been listening all along, there is a real joy in getting access to the collection of a master artist all at once - it's like learning who Christopher Marlowe is, and being like THERE ARE ALL THESE PLAYS? FOR ME TO READ?

I watched/listened to Kendrick Lamar at halftime for about thirty(30) seconds and that was enough for me; that kind of music is definitely not my cup of tea.

A lot of people like - even love - his show at halftime, good for them! 😊

Oh it’s so amazing

Here is my favorite Kendrick song which is technically unreleased

(This is a fan made video. It has a lot of screen flashing so I’ll put a lyrics version in the next post if you can’t do that)
