Maybe Kendrick Lamar simply doesn’t have nothing else to rap about.

Kendrick can definitely and has been in the past given a pass to rap about street shyt. Now obviously he himself ain’t going be killing nikkas and kicking doors in but rapping about it in someone else’s perspective for sure. Then you add politics, the pandemic, all the social issues going on. Only someone uncreative would think there’s nothing to rap about.

This thread is an exact reflection of how everybody feel they gotta rap about killing somebody. shyts dumb

I think its the exact opposite with Kendrick. GKMC and TPAB are such "big statement" albums, so he doesn't really strike me as the type of artist who would have nothing to say. He likely took a break after Damn because it was such a big album, touring it and all that, and then when he finally did get back in the studio he went into perfectionist mode. He knows expectations are sky high with his music so he's prolly taking his time with it. Also artists take breaks and go on hiatuses, it is what it is. Nas took six after LIG and look how long D'Angelo took between Voodoo and Black Messiah.

EDIT: wait a minute, I read the thread title wrong. You said he does NOT have nothing to talk about. So you're really saying he does have something to talk about. Gotcha!

It’s a lot going on in the world to talk about he’s supposed to be a conscious rapper.

He became a father right?

His life and position in the game.

He can be a news reporter and rap about what he sees in the streets. What he's heard about in the streets (with permission of course). He can rap about politics. He can pen some lyrics about Black scholars, revolutionaries, engineers, scientists.

Rap about being married, a father, a husband, starting a business.

Instead of having dope and gun bars, he can have cooking and finance bars.

Plenty to rap about.

It’s really sad when those type of topics don’t get mentioned first before street shyt :francis:

Listening to his entire catalog recently, Kendrick doesn’t strike me as someone who will make songs just to make them.

He doesn’t lead the life of a celebrity. I don’t see him rapping about being a family man as he has always kept his normal life private. And he’s already rich, so the trying to make it struggle raps are over.


His only option at this point is to go the brag rapity rap route :manny:
