Sit down! Be HUMBLE.!
This week on “I’ve Been Meaning to Listen to That,” we dive into Kendrick Lamar’s Grammy-winning album DAMN. with special guests Racquel Callahan (The Chi, Swagger) and Jon Butts! Get ready for a deep exploration of DAMN.‘s themes, from Kendrick’s introspective journey and the cultural weight it carries to the gritty details of the long-running Drake vs. Kendrick feud. We’ll cover how Kendrick’s work inspired Racquel to become a screenwriter, unpack tracks like LUST., which paints a bleak picture of America’s apathy, FEAR., which showcases awe-inspiring vulnerability and poetry, and DUCKWORTH., which reckons with whether Kendrick's life is wickedness, weakness, or God-inspired grace.
In this episode, we also reflect on how DAMN. contrasts with the lofty, humanist messages of To Pimp A Butterfly and discuss whether DAMN. is Kendrick’s reaction to those ideals not being fully actualized. Plus, we’ll delve into Kendrick’s skillful navigation of life’s contradictions, and predict where he might go next creatively.
