Why Kendrick Lamar Abandoned Music For 5 Years
Рет қаралды 259,751
Жыл бұрынthis was a fun challenge to do for myself... Shoutout to school for being closed this week. I prolly shouldve done this when the 1855 days thing was trending on Tiktok

the reason he spent 5 years not doing music is because when you make art ( timeless art at that ) , you have to experience . you dont want to make the same things twice. he needed a journey and those 5 years was it.

Yeah I totally agree and I’m totally ok with Kendrick putting out an album every 5 years, the anticipation alone is worth because you know it’s going to be fire. I say props to him for not just putting out ish that is subpar just because a record company wants you to or for just monetary gain. I feel like a lot of artists do this and that’s why they fall off just making hella mid music
@ForeverToronto Жыл бұрын
lets be honest, the reason why a lot of artists take a while to drop is that they need inspo and to live their lives in order to get topics and shit to rap about.

Kendrick is a much needed freshly crafted pillar in hiphop. He has a mystique that rap fans look to in the way a legend keeps you thinking beyond your scope. There's reasons why he is so respected by his peers and his fans alike. The man is gonna go down in history as one of the greatest rappers of all time, and his sound defines a generation and will inspire many to come.
