Kendrick Could Have Been The Greatest Rapper Until The End Of Time

But He Decided Not To

Kendrick Could Have Been The Greatest Rapper Until The End Of Time

But instead he f***** up. Yup, coming out the gates hot with the cursing because I am pretty triggered by this. For those of you who don't know (coincidentally you're also the people I wouldn't voluntarily associate with) Kendrick dropped an album recently, on Good Friday in fact, that album was titled DAMN. And what an album it is, filled to the brim with conscious bangers, taking rappers down a notch, and talking about some real issues. But it wasn't really a Kendrick album in the classic sense, there seems to be some disconnect between the songs and a lack of the overarching story that is so central to his albums.

This is where Kendrick could have been the greatest rapper ever. There was a theory that Kendrick was going to release a second album called NATION. on Easter Sunday. This would be significant because in the beginning of DAMN (released on Good Friday) Kendrick dies in the opening track, much like how Jesus died on Good Friday, and the release of NATION on Easter Sunday would represent the rising of the Rap Messiah Kendrick from the dead, this album would be the much more conscious album, this would be the classic Kendrick album that holds a mirror up to America. This would have been insane because the guy would have released two juggernaut albums two days apart, literally no one could ever top that. In addition to that no one would ever be able to top that sort of publicity stunt, everyone would look like a bitch, and Kendrick's position at the top would be secured forever.

You know what? Here is the full theory as told by scottvosper of Reddit

"Here me out for a second... this idea just hit me, and I love it so much that it actually scares me that it won't happen because it's so good.... kendrick will release TWO albums first one comes out on Good Friday (the day Jesus was killed) the title of this album is called DAMN. It's track listing is an anagram of the last letters spelling out "earth led 2 death" which has a meaning related to the people of earth condemning Jesus to the cross and his death. This album has a sad and depressed looking album cover and it's tracks are all bangers that complete destroy the rap industry.. turning it on its head. Kendrick goes in on everyone and basically just "crucifies" the entire game (already so much speculation on HUMBLE. in terms of his attacks on other rappers including big sean and drake)

This album has mixed reviews and thoughts by fans at first... Although the work on this LP is on a new level, and the lyrics are absolutely insane .. many people will still have question marks saying this isn't a typical kendrick album. Where's the deep meaning? This was just him making a bunch of bangers and taking people down. But then.....2 days later...

SUNDAY (Easter) The day Jesus returns from the dead.

A NEW ALBULM called: "Nation"

When put along side the other the duel album becomes "Damn Nation" aka "damnation".

This is album is much deeper, speaking the current political climate and other aspects of culture. What most people would describe as a TPAB sequel. And it represents the RESURRECTION of the new rap game.

Kendrick is our rap savior

drops the mic"

In the end, either the second album never existed, or he decided to hold on to it. Who knows, if it is meant to represent the second coming that doesn't necessarily have to be on Easter Sunday. Watch him drop NATION on some random Wednesday.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.
