The Plug
plug couldnt trust you now u cant trust the plug
what parts didn't make sense? Control isn't the typical Kendrick song either.
So it's a typical emo song then? Is that why it's deep?
Can someone explain "fake deep" to me

You're hurt.
Thats why the the point is going over your head.
This song right here is LITERALLY the opposite of Fake Deep:
And the MIGOS did this song.
Its about about REAL social awareness and family dynamics in a broken home...but y'all excuse this because its not approved by fucing Interscope.

I have no idea what it means.
Something I've always noticed, is that the conscious artists sound like COMPLETELY dumbasses when given the opportunity to actually speak about something.
its the "hood" or "ignorant artists" who end up keeping it real and getting to the core of an actual issue.
Its cause those "conscious artists" don't have shyt to talk about in their raps if given an opportunity and largely end up there because they can't come up with content.
I'm not against positive music, but a lot of conscious artists are on their last leg and thus have to resort to SOMETHING to pay the bills.
This rambling gibberish flow is absolutely typical of Kendrick
But I bolded the lines that don't make sense to me
So people who aren't formally educated shouldn't be talking about social issues?
We're talking about the song though
We're not talking about the theme of the song
I Always understood ''Fake Deep'' as mentioning issues but not going deep enough into to explore deeper issues with in that subject.
A Good Example of this is Logic. He speaks alot about race issues now don't get me wrong its great that he mentioned it but he never goes deep into
breaks stuff down, reference historic events the listeners may not have been privy too essentially teaching the listener something new.
I'm Not Saying a rapper has to teach you you can & should teach yourself however if a rapper insists Swimming in the ocean he better learn to dive at some point
of course there is limit to how deep you can get on a 4min song because thats alot of info to be shoved in a song but a good example of this done right would be ''Conflict diamonds'' By Lupe Fiasco
or this
or this even this
Of Course every song mentioning deep issues may not have been originally intended to be deep to begin with
So you want your Rap to be preachy?
That's how it was for a brief moment in the late 80s and early 90s.
Lupe wasn't really an outsider tho

Have you listened to Kendrick? His music is pretty much all depth and emotional appeals.
He uses 3rd person characters because he's an artist.
Thats not good enough.
Attempts don't matter
Execution matters.
Just cause you post your shot doesn't mean it has to be therefore exalted, validated, and honored.

That nikka
I do know Kendrick ain't that conscious dude that title on the team goes to ab-soul.. Well it did before he started doing drugs and devil worshipping
