Top 30 Kendrick Lamar

Annotation :

Morceau produit par J. Cole qui dénonce le système, les conspirations, les problèmes raciaux... R.I.P. Alori Joh.

"Who said a black man in the Illuminati?
Last time I checked, that was the biggest racist party."

Annotation :

"I said when the lights shut off
And it's my turn to settle down
My main concern
Promise that you will sing about me
Promise that you will sing about me..."

Annotation :

Quand est-ce qu'il va respirer ?

"Lord forgive me... kill him where he stand and stand over him
Shake his hand then jump back in that mini van
Double back to his block and blam I ain't backing down for nothing
I'mma back 'em down like Shaq with this black 2-2-3 in my hand
Better pray that this chopper jam like a radio single, man
Police radio signals saying that a 187 land
On your corner, coroners comfort your momma
"Momma he's dead" the next morning, I toasted up with my homies
We drink and smoke marijuana, want us to change our ways? Uh-huh
You see this game we play come from uncles that raised me in Compton
Ask me what I have accomplished, I don't know I don't have conscience
I just load up and start dumping on enemies; I'm head hunting
No sympathy, ain't no love when you in these streets just get something
Protect ya neck cause they coming for sets, respect, split your onion
Then chop your deck your head tumbling like gymnastics."

Annotation :

Ce morceau exprime le fait que notre esprit est asservit par le système, que nous sommes esclave de la société à cause du sucre, du fast food...

Donc arrêtes de manger de la merde !

"And I run it, (Blow! Blow! Blow! Blow!)
And I run it, (Yeah! Blow!)
That's ironic, (Blow! Blow! Blow! Blow!)
I run it, (Blow! Blow! Blow! Blow!)
That's ironic, (Y-Yeah! Blow!)
I run it, (Yeah! Blow! Yeah!)
Salt all in my wounds
Hear my tears all in my tunes
Let my life loose in this booth
Just for you, mothafucka, hope y'all amused
And I run it, (Blow! Blow! Blow! Blow!), and I run it, (Blow! Blow! Blow! Blow!)
And I run it, (Y-Yeah! Blow!), and I run it (Yeah! Blow!) That's ironic."

Annotation :

Kendrick raconte qu'il s'est fait influencé par ses proches étant jeune, qu'il est devenu violent, qu'il s'est mis à fumer... alors que ça n'était rien de plus qu'un bon gamin... qui s'est finalement retrouver dans une ville de dingue (good kid in a mad city).

"I never was a gangbanger, I mean I was never stranger to the folk neither
I really doubt it
Rush a nigga quick and then we laugh about it
That’s ironic ‘cause I’ve never been violent, until I’m with the homies."

Annotation :

"Compton, USA made me an angel on angel dust."

Annotation :

"Everybody gon' respect the shooter
But the one in front of the gun lives forever."

Annotation :

"I'm so damn turnt, wheelin' in a two door with two hoes that follow me
And you know Westside, right on time, tell 'em hoes kudos
Eastside, right on time, they don't fuck with you though
When my hood, getting to the money, the pedal never broke
Came a long way from the ghetto dawg but
Westside, right on time, only thing fosho
Eastside, right on time, gunnin' through your door uhh."

Annotation :

Vous voulez savoir pourquoi Los Angeles est une ville si attractive ? Voilà la recette :

"Women, weed and weather."

Annotation :

"Rigor mortis" signifie "rigidité cadavérique". Cela se traduit par un phénomène naturel qui se crée après la mort, c'est l'enraidissement progressif des muscles, l'âme s'échappe et les toxines restent, provoquant la décomposition du corps. En gros, c'est ce qui arrive aux rappeurs qui veulent se frotter à Kendrick, et notamment ton rappeur préféré :

"Got me breathing with dragons
I'll crack the egg in your basket, you bastard
I'm Marilyn Manson with madness, now just imagine the magic
I light to asses, don't ask for your favorite rapper
(He dead) Yessir (Amen) Chuuch
(He dead) I killed him (Amen) Bitch."

Annotation :

“Smoke good, eat good, live good..."

Annotation :

Kendrick nous montre ici une solide connaissance des médicaments, des drogues et même des neurotransmetteurs avec seulement quelques rimes. Le but de ce morceau est de dénoncer l'abus de drogues omniprésent dans sa génération et de prôner la tolérance.

"Eight doobies to the face, fuck that
Twelve bottles in the case, nigga, fuck that
Two pills and a half weight, nigga, fuck that
Got a high tolerance when your age don't exist."

Annotation :

"I am a sinner who's probably gonna sin again
Lord forgive me, Lord forgive me things I don't understand
Sometimes I need to be alone
Bitch don't kill my vibe, bitch don't kill my vibe
I can feel your energy from two planets away
I got my drink, I got my music
I would share it but today I'm yelling
Bitch don't kill my vibe, bitch don't kill my vibe
Bitch don't kill my vibe, bitch don't kill my vibe."

Annotation :

"I'm usually homeboys with the same niggas I'm rhymin' with
But this is hip-hop and them niggas should know what time it is
And that goes for Jermaine Cole, Big KRIT, Wale
Pusha T, Meek Millz, A$AP Rocky, Drake
Big Sean, Jay Electron', Tyler, Mac Miller
I got love for you all but I'm tryna murder you niggas
Trying to make sure your core fans never heard of you niggas
They don't wanna hear not one more noun or verb from you niggas
What is competition? I'm trying to raise the bar high
Who tryna jump and get it? You're better off trying to skydive
Out the exit window of 5 G5’s with 5 grand
With your granddad as the pilot he drunk as fuck trying land
With the hand full of arthritis and popping prosthetic leg
Bumpin Pac in the cockpit so the shit that pops in his head
Is an option of violence, someone heard the stewardess said
That your parachute is a latex condom hooked to a dread."

Annotation :

"You wanna see a dead body ?"

Annotation :

"The good kid from the mad city
Holding a cereal box instead of a glock."
