The history is set. I think he’s relaxed.


Patient-Highlight185

I hope not, thought there was an album this year


sweetpotato_latte

To be fair my man, we’ve already gotten so much recently 😂 totally feel you though I’m anxiously awaiting the album.


Patient-Highlight185

Ikik he’s done so much and he should relax. That beef and that insane concert was legendary and probably taxing … but like hurry up pls 🥺


sweetpotato_latte

Agreed! Honestly I feel like the concert was so special because of the obvious reasons, but also Kendrick put on a concert for MILLIONS of people. That’s crazy. And even though I know he got paid, there are so many artists who wouldn’t do what he did because they can’t stand the idea of people consuming their art for “free.” Like, if I never have the opportunity to go to a concert I can still say I’ve seen Kendrick Lamar perform live and that’s fucking awesome.


Few_Actuary_2524

If you ever have the opportunity, you gotta take it. I went to see him for Mr Morale and it was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had


sweetpotato_latte

When he came to Detroit on tour in 2022 it was the same day that my ex and I had tickets to see the Red Hot chili peppers and we had had those tickets for a long time but we saw Kendrick Lamar was also playing and we almost just bought tickets and bailed on Red Hot chili peppers The show was good, but I should’ve gone and seen Kendrick lol


Few_Actuary_2524

Well if there really is a new album in the works there will be another opportunity im sure!


Few_Actuary_2524

Also prime has a mr morale show in paris on stream. I’m gonna watch it soon!


Environmental-ADHD

Drake would’ve dropped a mixtape and album by now.. Kendrick weak


GypsyFR

If he keeps his current trend for album drops, we won’t get it until 2025. The month and date has already passed. Which is June 12th


Silver_Being_0290

Tbf he Dame near released half an album already with all the diss


Username_II

He should release the stock he's got left and compile a Drake hatin' EP


Sad-Assignment4064

“Kendrick Lamar: The biggest h8r”


Natural_Tumbleweed62

His pattern would make June 12th the date he would drop. Sorry man, better luck next year 😄


Patient-Highlight185

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO FML


SquidDrive

Bro got kids to feed, and a home to maintain. Let bro chill after such a dominant season, my boy put up historic MVP numbers.


Talknterpzz

That man don’t gotta do shit for years and his family will be set haha that album money got em eating good


Rawdog2076

Tbf I don't think that was a problem ever 😂 6:16 in LA literally starts off with him saying how comfortable he is with luxury


uberpolka

6:16 starts off from Drake’s point of view.


Rawdog2076

I don't think so, he talks about the comforts of his life, how he's at peace, putting his kids to sleep with a prayer, thanks god for all this but also points out that he needs to go to war. I believe he was also checking Drake with the "I'm a millionaire too" vibe.


uberpolka

Agree with you 100%, but the first 7 lines in the song are 100% Drake life. Off-white Sunseeker at the marina Fuck a Phantom, I like to buy yachts when I get the fever Wine cooler spill on my white t-shirt, the sightseer Trifecta, money, morals, and culture, that's my leisure My visa, passport tatted, I show up in Ibiza Lucalis dwellings in Brooklyn just to book me some pizza Who could reach us? Only God could teleport this type of freedom


Burggs_

I just think he’s saying he isn’t as poor as Drake may think “Lucalis dwellings in Brooklyn just to book me some pizza” - Kendrick’s Brooklyn penthouse is near Lucalis pizza


Rawdog2076

Yeah he's got a few double-triple entedres on here now that I did some digging up he definitely gave Drake what he asked for😂


JEveryman

>Fuck a phantom I like to buy yachts when I get the fever. I took as I'd rather pay for a Yachty feature than reference track.


External-Smell2942

Isn’t it insane that this late. We still finding doubles and triple entendres in these mfs. Dot never misses


Gale_Vekon

phantom is another word for ghost(writers)


SKTKAI

I really don't think so


CalendarRecent286

lol Drake know nothin bout that


Embarrassed_Dog1494

Straight up


primetimemime

but but he needs to release more albums to get his streaming numbers or else Drake fans won’t think he’s very good


AtomicGaming777

who cares about their opinions lmao they'll always cry about numbers bcuz they don't have any classics.


Environmental-ADHD

And yet Drake is still breaking records.. you Kendrick fans had to pray for a Drake diss to get him to drop his biggest hit smh sad


Resident_Froyo9742

If he disappears again or stays out i'm good either way. We know whenever he pops out, the culture moves. Daniel Day Lewis is like the white actor version of Kendrick in some ways. He's rarely seen outside but then he just pops out and has a masterful performance in a movie, wins an Oscar then disappears again for years until his next project. When you are genuinely deeply talented and fully dedicated to your craft, fame is just a by-product. Those addicted to fame usually aren't the most talented ones, so they need the constant validation to make themselves feel less insecure.


SHC606

This is it. Had a convo with a friend and realized, we really don't have the same lens at all on how we view things. They were like yeah he couldn't get a hit without saying Drake's name. I was shocked. And then it was about money and billboard while ceding the Pulitzer and the Grammys go to Kdot. Then I was like they are both super rich and I don't think Kdot is moved by more money a friend vehemently disagreed. At that point, I realized it was like talking to a pile of dung and just asked about the weather or something.


Spaceman_Spliff_42

Drake fans and Trump supporters are the same in that their version of reality is different from everybody else’s, and they’ll twist any narrative to say their boy is on top, even if all the evidence says otherwise


Ryan_187

As long as this doesnt end up being kennys top song, you have retarded friend.


willcomplainfirst

its a 2 way thing too. the lifestyle also lends to the art. DDL out here being a cobbler and shit. but when the project is good, hes all in, method and all artists living their life and then synthesizing that into art is why we need them. thats why we can use their art to contextualize our own lives. thats why even (especially) the most personal art is somehow also the most relatable. and with Kendrick, i can honestly say, if he never releases new music, hes done enough. i would be good and be thankful for what hes given but also, thankfully, hes so in love with rap that i dont actually foresee him quitting anytime soon


nicknack24

I’d rather him drop an album before he disappears.


Dry-Opinion-5712

As an introvert, I don't know how he's dealing with this shit lmao. I'd be on an island or something


Tasty-Fee-7150

He a antisocial extrovert


Kenzie____

Excellent mean the extra work?


UnabashedAsshole

And absentness, what the fuck you heard?


Kenzie____

Pessimists never struck my nerve?


Snoo_7150

He just a introvert with social skills which isn’t a rare thing

Thanks for the new word. Lol I've been calling myself an antisocial extrovert for a long time.

Snoo_7150

True or he could just be a ambivert


thesaga

Nope - that's someone who's either an introvert or extrovert depending on the day. It's not the same as an introvert with high charisma.

Majestic_Mammoth729

That ain't the line


Prestigious_Page6242

As a fellow introvert myself, if I haven't been outside in a while & someone challenges me to a good exercise...Im down, then I'm returning back to my house after lol. Im sure that's what he's going to do after he finishes his victorious assignment


AlterMyStateOfMind

The island right here's remote ok


AliveMouse5

The island right here is remote ok


More-City6818

I know right. I get anxious when there are too many people in the grocery store. Literally the other day I went to the store, saw a couple of people in line and said nah I’ll just do instacart. Retreat!


hereforeveverything

Nah I think he'll be more energized if anything


Temporary-Rent971

Especially after the concert. He’s probably pretty energetic and hyped.


ambient4k

Kendrick is a fellow Gemini. We possess the ability to adapt. It's part of the duality. When he needs to retreat and go dark again, he will. Right now, he understands the assignment.


CurryMustard

Do you guys actually believe this type of shit


urafkntwat

Yeah it's super corny


fancyfoe

I fucking hate ~~astronomy~~ astrology because of people like this, and 99% of the time is always “oh I’m such a picolo that’s why *insert any shit behavior here* happened”

You mean astrology, yea? Or do you hate the study of planets too?

Yep astrology thank you for the correction

Technical_Space_Owl

80-90% of people globally believe in a god or gods, which is just as batshit crazy as horoscopes.


SithisDreadLord420

Low key big facts


rasssky

We will either know or never know one day


Technical_Space_Owl

You can say the same thing about magical cosmic pixie fairies. And if someone were making life decisions based on the will of the magical cosmic pixie fairies, they'd likely be committed to a mental hospital.


CurryMustard

I don't think believing there's a god is necessarily as batshit because it's impossible to disprove. With astrology you just need to get a list of birthdays and see if theres any type of correlation with their supposed sign, criminal history, marriage and divorce rates, etc. This stuff would be easily provable and if it was true it would hold a lot of power in the world.


Technical_Space_Owl

You can build a mythos around astrology to also make it impossible to disprove too.


CurryMustard

Somehow I just ran into this post right now that I thought you would enjoy https://www.reddit.com/r/comics/comments/1dmjb6i/not_a_wrinkle_in_sight_oc

Right I was with him the first half then he spewed the same shit with a different flavor right in my face

You get that he's being facetious, right? Or maybe I just get it because I'm a Pisces. We're very clever.


Bearking422

🤣😂🤣 you get that I was making a joke but I get that it might be hard for a Pisces to get that you guys aren't the only smart ones as a Sagittarius it's pretty easy for people to forget about how smart we are because we are so laid back

Overall-Extension608

Human beings possess the ability to adapt in general. It's how we survived as a species. Not just people born late May/Early June. I take offense to that as a Cancer 😏 We possess the ability to feel emotions.


edisonpharaoh

Only geminis can adapt?


CobainMadePunk

its kinda funny that this got so down voted when kendrick mentions being a gemini in his music lmao


Skill-issue-69420

That shit is like religion but with meth crystals and shungite butt plug rocks there’s no way Kendrick didn’t just use it as a 1 liner


CobainMadePunk

i mean yeah sometimes, but for most people its just a casual interest lmao hes mentioned it enough times to at least somewhat believe it


XeroShyft

LikeaSwamp7

HumbleBear75

What in the fuck?


KobotTheRobot

Respectfully my friend. Due to earth's wobble on its axis the zodiac signs are all messed up. The founder of astrology went their whole life thinking they were a Taurus but was actually an Aries. If that doesn't wake you up to the bullshit idk what will.


Prestigious_Page6242

Oh yeah! Family and social values as well as being introverted is totally specific to people who were born in a specific month! There’s absolutely no way these are common traits that most people have, that’s just preposterous


chaus922

man shut up


Veeluciano7

You just described a cancer ♋️ as well


tooncake

I'd honestly prefer that, than a celeb or icon who loves too much attention 24/7.


blackamerigan

Only Drake likes being famous. Jcole is also smart his whole life isnt rap either, he announced the next album is his last year's ago


willcomplainfirst

celebrities should really know better by now how to manage their visibility. too much and you start to become... pedestrian. and/or annoying. the ebbs and flows is better. surprise me. let me miss you. yanno?

I do like Jay a lot but who I'm talking about is a few shades lighter, well more than a few.


mistyrootsvintage

I wouldn't even blame him...we thinking his life is rap? He's given us a few meals...the video is the dessert until he decides to pop out again🥺


Antique_Holiday6862

Kendrick's social battery can last long. People forget how outside he was from 2011 - 2013


willcomplainfirst

thats not really the same. he needed to be outside then..he doesnt really need to now


Danomit3

That’s when he was a household name and had to maintain his momentum by being in public more often. Look at what happened to Roddy. He had one hot song, album and could’ve had the whole pandemic in the palm of his hand but he hid and didn’t drop anything. Next album flopped like crazy because there was no build up or promotion and it was a let down. I bet if he was more active, that album would get some decent traction or not he neglected.


H-TownDown

Roddy’s next album flopped because it wasn’t good. Then the stuff he dropped after that was pretty mediocre too.


Danomit3

True. I just think the album could easily be a decent album if he dropped a single or teased it and let it grow overtime. Going cold Turkey and being anti social really was a nail in the coffin.


No_Stock_7201

Wait timeout, At Long Last Asap was considered ass now? That album got so many joints on there and definitely had momentum behind it cause it was Rocky’s first release after Yams died earlier that year.


H-TownDown

What does Rocky have to do with Roddy Ricch?


No_Stock_7201

Bruhhh I read Rocky that’s my fault. Yeah Roddy’s second album was type ass


Danomit3

If hip hop was a Pokemon Kendrick would be Jirachi. Blesses us with great music and is only around once for every 5-10 years.


SHC606

Sade and D'Angelo have been like this forever.


willcomplainfirst

even if we dont get a new album i'll be fine with him going quiet after the NLU video drops tbh


Illustrious-Taro-449

Same here, let it breathe


ahhh_ring_king_king

people expecting an album.. I'm not lol, the diss tracks was the album.. he'll be back 1855 days later


its-a-real-name

I’m starting to think the same. Kendrick wants his albums to stand the test of time like art. I feel like he might think right now isn’t even a good time to drop for people to digest it as many people will be mainly skimming for disses initially. He might want to unlink it from the beef anyway. It would be cool if he dropped a couple of new songs and dropped them with all the disses as an EP or mixtape something soon. Completely random thought and doubtful.


c4ndres

I'm holding out some hope for him to go "experimental" and release more stuff with mustard purely centered on the West Coast sound and definitely another fun project with Keem.


voidedbaby

Kendrick and Keem album would be amazing


[deleted]

Honestly…so what? Part of what makes something valuable is its scarcity or that it’s temporal. If it’s persistently and readily available, then it’s a commodity. Art shouldn’t be a commodity. That’s what tripped up Drake. He thought that bc he was everywhere and known he was something that he’s not. If Kendrick wants to chill for a decade and raise his babies, be a husband and what not, good on him. Pull a Ms. Hill and let the legend live forever…


Long_Camera6153

When you let yourself become the channel for something much bigger than you it’s easy to put away mental blockages like introvert/extrovert/etc. He’s in the zone right now, we’re all connected and it’s not something you cant just avoid when you’re doing it for more than just yourself. 


MamaSdot

You can see it in the video shoot 🤣


its-a-real-name

Yeah. Never forget this guy put an album out and we didn’t even see him 😂 he flew to Africa when it came out and did no promo. He calculates (you’re not as calculated), he knows he’s got huge public approval right now and needed to pop out to consolidate it and keep it going. A show and a video with the people in the hood is doing just that. I guess he’ll go back into obscurity and possibly even drop an album amid being on that remote island.


refusenic

He's gonna do a Frank Ocean 😂


throwawaygurliy

Dont say things like that lol


leaf-erectsen-day

As an anti-social extrovert. I feel that shit..... But when you're re-energized, and you're feeling that flow... you make it work. When you're tired. You walk away and say farewell. Your friends respect you more. Because the more you talk about it with them The more they realize, sometimes they need that mental break too.


Lochnesscessity

I’m anti-social and can easily be extroverted when I need to because I was raised by extroverted parents. My friends had to learn that I have anxiety socializing and sometimes I’ll disappear and they won’t hear from me but they get it now. I’m surprised people even like being around me half the time.


BostonBuffalo9

Worth it


ppiirruuee

Facts


momoepeach

Ngl this might be the last project we get from him for a long time


Namfluence

After Mirror i wasn’t expecting him back outside for a long time, this feels like two unexpected seasons of DLC and I’m all here for it.


LoreMasterJack

Of course he's gonna cool off. You think his life is rap? That's ho shit, he got a son to raise..."


NoConcentrate7845

Well, at least ya'll eating real good rn. Try being a Frank Ocean fan 💀


hippdojo

Dot a antisocial extrovert tho. The duality of a man


gamehen21

Kendrick is the absolute master of only emerging when he actually has something to say. In order to pop out, you gotta go away first. Very few artists these days understand the value of this - but I've noticed all my personal favorite artists understand this and have no problem disappearing for years on end. It makes it that much more exciting when they do emerge with new music. Kendrick understands this extremely well


icanbemoore__

He still got the album drop and the tour. Definitely gonna take five afterwards though.


halfavocadoemoji

ANTISOCIAL ❌ EXTRAVERT ✔️


StainedButthole

I really don't mind if he does though, I really don't need my favourite artists to drop every week to remember how great they are or why I like them.


saltdaddy17

He deserves it. It aint easy killing a star and creating peace at the same time.

cyberlebron2077

I just want a album and he could disappear for another 5 years, he’s earned it already I just want more music 😭


BeautifulPop4109

I just need the album then he can go back to the cave for like a gazillion years... Would be a historic run


OnPoint7ip

I love that Kendrick pops out when he wants to. it’s always fun cause he’ll do a run & then retreat. This run in particular is spicyyyy lmao. He’s definitely going AWOL soon i am really enjoying everybody’s reactions tho, especially the tweets about how lowkey funny Kendrick is. That one line in Euphoria where he says “i wave one finger & thump yall niggas like MM!” was so funny & i feel like i’m the only who acts that part out & laughs every time


Bookwerm4life

Oh I act it out every time. The first time I heard it, I actually had to rewind the song to cackle like a hyena 


BackToTheMoon_

He genuinely does not care about the attention and fame. He just wanted to smack Drake in the mouth musically for the world to see He probably had that as the last thing to check off of his music career


hosam0680

Man he did what he had to, at this point I wouldn’t even be mad.


Max_delirious

He can’t, he’s the king now.


Grand_Chief_Mathieu

Cue Drake and Kendrick living the rest of their lives comfortably, laughing at the stans for feeding them. Hehe

DOOMStarks36

I mean he likes to enjoy life lol…


Ok-Hovercraft2178

I am starting to think he has a touch of the tism tbh. Would explain a lot and being able to stay 10 steps ahead in any situation


SHC606

Guarding one's peace, especially during a pandemic, when you have more money than most folks can even think about doesn't make one have tism. He's a genius. They tend to move differently.


Ok-Hovercraft2178

They believe Einstein was autistic as are many many other geniuses, inventors, creators that change the world. It's a very very broad spectrum and without those people the world would be a very boring place.


SHC606

It would have been better that you lead with why you thought a diagnosis was even necessary. And did Einstein get that diagnosis?
