      First off, he claims his mother's side which is understandable. He's already at his hone why go to Africa. He used his Black side to penetrate the rap game, respectfully! It was simply a Man versus a boy just like KDOT said. We will dance to your music but we are never lost to who you are at the core.

      This!
      I'm a white, 50+ dude in a completely different world. But what I get from Kendrick is processing. He is always processing, assessing his reality.
      I just got home from my therapy session earlier today, and while what I have to process is different, hearing Kendrick process inspires me to look inward in the same way, to assess what my perception is versus how things really are (as a Buddhist friend keeps insisting I do). And because when I view Kendrick as processing, I also avoid dumping my expectations on to him, for what he should be and who and how he should should represent. Instead, I hear his dialogue, his struggle, his confessions, his pride, and his love.
      I tell people sometimes how much Kendrick means to me, but I don't think people understand. At least for me, I started listening to Kendrick BEFORE I recognized my anxiety. His processing is a HUGE part of where I am now. It's a journey, and while we are on completely different paths in completely different worlds, I feel like I am on that journey with him. When the new album dropped, it wasn't that I wanted to hear the next great album. I wanted to check in on Kendrick, see where he is at and compare notes.
      I really appreciated seeing him at peace in Ghana.

    When I started to go back to Ghana again I would speak to the young guys about things they want to do and aspirations and I realise how westernised I’d become. Because all they think about is each other and all we think about is our personal ambitions.
    I originally thought they weren’t motivated until I realised they were just not self obsessed. So I try to not bring anything too westernised and just respect the culture. Ghana is perfect to me. And the people are even better.

    Poetry in motion. As a natural empath and thinker, I relate to his approach a lot. Mr. Morale is not an easy listen. Especially in our times. What does that say about us? Our ability to sit and hold a mirror? We are being fed a bunch of candy and now suffer from the disease. Excess is not normal, it’s time for humanity to reflect. Kendrick knows this as well and channels it all through his music. It’s a gift.

    I love it when people go in search of their roots to learn, understand, and find new things rather than just reading about it on social media or listening to common beliefs. Even learning a language can give great insight into where you came from and who you are.
    I have so many American students who wish to learn Norwegian just to connect to the roots they thought were long lost. Some of them even went to Norway and met with their family who had relatives that were part of one of the biggest immigration groups in the early days of the US.

      @reed Jack More resources to learn about the Vikings and other historical eras in Scandinavian languages just make it more enjoyable to learn. I doubt anyone is planning to go on a voyage to pillage the brits anytime soon.

      ​@reed Jack The ones I teach to still practice Norwegian traditions, go to Norwegian universities founded by Norwegians, usually in Iowa or Minnesota and are able to trace back to their families in Norway. That's the reason they wish to learn the language, so they can move there without being disabled by a language barrier. It's just easier to learn it from a native speaker than it is to learn it from someone who learned it at a grown age in the US.
      Despite all that, it's true that many people want to learn more, and often glorify them cause Vikings are universally considered cool despite what they did. I taught an Ecuadorian girl who said she wished the Vikings would colonize them instead of the Spaniards but I don't know about that lol.

      That’s why it’s so crazy when we look down on people or think somehow people are more capable than we are. They’re all just showing us the depths and heights of what we can do/be! ✨

    Kendrick’s ability to convey emotion relative to most human minds is what makes him extraordinary. Literally just speaking in his own terms and it’s poetic because of his ability to get us to feel something. Salute to Kendrick. A legend in the flesh
