I agree. But scientifically, our brains are out off by new music around age 30. The most important years of our lives in terms of finding and appreciating music are 12-22. Throughout our life our brains will always prefer the music of our youth. But I do agree with you, it’s not important that they listen to it in their free time, but take the time to appreciate it. It’s not easy. Our brains make it difficult.

I gotta disagree about the “he should rap about college”, Kendrick isn’t praising violence, he’s against it, he raps about gang violence as a warning he’s trying to uplift the community and this country, he has so much staying power and is a leader, it’s hard to see with only a few songs and not analyzing each album, so I digress

They were handed songs from two of the most beautifully crafted and most meaningful albums of all time but refused to be open minded because of the genre of music it was. I hope to god that when I grow old I do not have the same mentality these people do.

Anthony Decarolis they don’t have to like it. It’s just they underestimate the talent these artists have. And instead of listening to the meaning of it they just pay attention to the explicit stuff. The flow, style, and wordplay these artists have is countless and amazing. But they don’t pay attention to it. And they like to say their music is better when it just talks about the same shit over and over. Their music hasn’t progressed any. That’s why it’s called 50’s and 60’s music. Because it was a part of that decade and it never progressed. They just made new genres. The only genres that progressed any were Rock and Country. But even those didn’t change and venture as far as Rap did. Rap is by far the most open minded, creative, talented type of music, yet people like to call it vulgar and say they don’t understand anything. It’s ok not to like it but when you bring it down even tho it’s more superior to other genres, like the ones they like, it’s not factual. They don’t have to like it from a personal level, but when they talk about it on a public and general level and say some negative shit about it that isnt even true it gets me frustrated. Cuz they were taught and even just learned to hate it, and ofc there’s the stereotypes that people say. Which also aren’t even true. But that’s just my opinion. It’s not like it’s gonna change anything, but that’s the point I’m trynna get through to you.

When that grandpa said 'It's just typical rap' I just became really mad

You can't just give the ELDERS a Kendrick song to listen to, without them reading the lyrics and appreciating the message of kendricks lyrics. Especially since they all are close minded to the type of music that Kendrick makes (Rap)

the problem is its kendrick..With kendrick its not about the music, its about the message and they werent even listen to the words.

I like how everyone says they're so out of touch and missed the point, but the only parts they can understand are the lines that are slow. so how can they receive the message when they are unable to understand what's being said? like the one said, they needed captions lol

That one lady in the orange shirt saying “there are always jail cells, cmon, we have more black males in jail than college.” That is kind of the point, he is putting that message out there.

4:12 Was really interesting to me. His tone made it seem like he was about to say, "but..." but he didn't. He kinda realized mid-sentence that he didn't have anything else to add.

they dont understand his message

For someone who loves melody so much he can't seem to identify it too well smh

“In the background they had a jail” “we already have enough black men in jail” his whole point….was right there…..and she literally said it.
