this 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
this album made me realize there is no savior or king of hip-hop. all just people with something interesting to say. that's why music is one of the best ways to invite others into ur perspective on the world
@@KingBenny oh yeah there's definitely a discussion for that. i don't mean to completely toss it aside but no matter who it is...the person w/ that title is ultimately on the same level as us. jus like what kendrick is sayin
I thought he meant it in a way that their is no one going to save you,and you can't look to artist you listen to to save you or help yu I your situation
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.
@@KingBenny true, i guess, i think a lot of the time people are spoiled for choice by artists who constantly release albums and do features every year, that they forget that the complex artistry leads to time away from everything else more quality control with music and less abundance. but i agree with your video LMAO
Eminem all though old still drops bangers. kendrick, j cole, joyner lucas have revived actual hip hop and not that terrible mumble rap that was coming out
Man I must have some abandonment issues because I read the title "Why did Kendrick Lamar abandon Me for 5 years?" Funny thing was he went from my favourite to one of the greats since then around 2017-2018.
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.
I think Kendrick deserves his criticism where its due but for the purposes of this video there's nothing rly to criticize (but then again I'm not the most critical person either)
Rip Dilla. You perfectly incapsulated the personal affliction rappers experience with the game. Kendrick definitely had the biggest dose of that love-hate relationship and it shines through in mr.morale. great video man
he worked on the MM&TBS album for 2 years and had already tried making an album after DAMN years earlier but scrapped it, 5 years is just the time between his official releases.
I think that this video could've been more longer because your take on his pause was complete. Shawn Cee in his 40min review of Mr. Morale explained and he gave his take on this subject in a way that feels complete.
It honestly could've been longer because its not one thing that made him go away but I wanted to focus on that specific aspect... also shoutput Shawn cee fr
So youtube randomly recommended me a channel with a love for hiphop music, with opinions i actually respect and love for jdilla? Bruh ty for existing, this earned my sub real fucking fast.
to me, i feel like its also vital to mention baby keem. mans is shaping up to be his protege. his music is incredible imo, brings so much fun and emotion into his music. his verse on family ties reminds me of kendricks verse on alright. no breathing, no stopping, just spitting facts. kendrick is shaping keem to be the next up
Love keem... I didn't mention him cause I alrdy got 3 videos on the guy but I even have a family ties video somewhere around my channel if you want to see that
it took a bunch of trial and error but essentially you can get away with about 5 seconds of audio being played I think 6 at most but it deadass takes time to figure out and sometimes i have to edit several versions of a video
@@KingBenny thank u bro it really helped idk wanna bother u but just 1 more question what did u do first the whole visual edit or u record the audio… how is the process?
@@2mn2nl i record on my phone... its a regular phone not even an iPhone but I use an app called power director to record the audio itself. As for editing i use premiere pro which is an Adobe product so it is expensive but there's stuff out there thats just as good at less expense
@@eberd.c4644 Probably forgot coz since then Drake only became more successful but it didn't really do the same for Pusha T. People really hate Drake (and sometime J Cole too) and REALLY want him to fail and fall off...said people have BEEEN hold their breath for a long ass time🤣
Kendrick is the mind, the heart, and the soul. Cole is the mind, the heart, and the soul, but all drake does is flex now. Kendrick and Cole are in search of improvement. Drake in search of baby mommas.
@@KingBenny From 2017 to 2020 my life changed a lot but from 2020 to now it doesn’t feel like it. Which is crazy I’m saying that cause objectively it has with the things that have been going on in my life. But I just don’t feel like it.
Thank God for an artists Like Kendrick Lamar, Dave Chappelle, J Cole. I can’t really speak on Drake and Jigga, that’s yall dude. Game is my guilty pleasure. Thank God for Richard Pryor, Thank God for even the Kevin Hart’s even though there may be problems with his approach.
I ain’t gone lie ion believe in all that he needs time to make great music simply because he’s a “professional” rapper, Kendrick is special and the industry knows it and he was the first to say we are Israelites and I really think they hold him back and by they I mean the industry. His music at a fast pace could really change the mood of the world. I sound crazy but idc.
I wish I was a youtube plant ngl... too many videos that I put hours into ended up with like 60 views, dont get me wrong i appreciate it but at times I was legit contemplating leaving this youtube shit alone
@@KingBenny I'm glad to hear that you're real xD. I'm happy for you that you blow up, If you consider you have. If not the thing is close when we look at your last video ! Wish you luck and don't forget to take a rest one day, your consistency is incredible!
Just my opinion, Kendrick is the GOAT 🐐 his style and ability to tell a story as well seeing the bigger picture. Very few can do this, Tupac Biggie Jay Nipsey....
5 years may be a long time in pop culture, but I compare it to great authors. some only released a few books in their entire lifetime, but they're still remembered as being classics, and the time between becomes inconsequential. it's better than him putting our some half assed shit just to try to stay relevant. when he drops something, you know it'll be something he's proud of
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.
Thats part of it... obvsly I made the video but I don't think there's one reason just a bunch of stuff added together

Also this video was really well done

Man I must have some abandonment issues because I read the title "Why did Kendrick Lamar abandon Me for 5 years?" Funny thing was he went from my favourite to one of the greats since then around 2017-2018.
I mean ngl he basically abandoned all of us
I think a lot of us felt that way. GKMC and Section 80 constantly are playing and his new album was such a good release.
He is not the new Pac of Hip-hop, he's the Kendrick Lamar of Hip-hop.
Definitely love the break down of each album, there’s a lot that I didn’t know when it comes to his story and the amount of pressure that he’s under
thanks, I tried showing the pressure as best I could

he worked on the MM&TBS album for 2 years and had already tried making an album after DAMN years earlier but scrapped it, 5 years is just the time between his official releases.
Yeah I know... the video is more so ab the pressure he had and that type of thing (although idk ab the scrapped album ngl)
bro this video is incredible, congrats! Love Kendricks music!
Thank you for giving it a chance! I appreciate the nice words

People forget that Kendrick curated the Black Panther album a year after DAMN while on tour at the same time. Pretty incredible.
