It’s hard to imagine Kendrick speaking like that about his family or peers these days. All of the complaints in his verses and the beginning of the hook culminate into the abrasive “Shut the fuck up, ho,” at the end of the hook. ![]() He’s frustrated with all the “whoop-de-whoop” and “blasé-blah” people bring. The track contains talk about getting over the negative impact of his community in order to do better in life. While he is justified in doing so, the way Kendrick goes about addressing toxic people on ‘Cut You Off’ demonstrates the egocentricity that lingered in his perspective. But Kendrick was not above the occasional expression of ego. At this point he established himself as a very focused artist concerned with healing many social ills by speaking on experiences in Compton he and his peers had. ‘Cut You Off’ was one of the standouts on Kendrick’s Overly Dedicated (2010) mixtape, the last project before his debut album Section.80. ![]() Speak on something with substance that can get us both paid, rather than telling me how these niggas jockin your style or his rims ain’t bigger, pussy nigga, I’ma cut you off. But on songs like ‘Cut You Off’ and ‘Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe’, he’s telling the Tammys and the cousin Demetriuses ( Sherane) to move the fuck around.Īs much as he acknowledges their commonalities, he realizes he cannot be around them for fear of not reaching his true potential in life. Sometimes he lashes out at his delinquent peers (Good Kid) or empathizes with them (Art of Peer Pressure). Sometimes he talks about it by taking on someone’s story (Sing About Me, I’m Dying of Thirst or Tammy’s Song). Hopelessness as a result of a very discouraging local environment is in all of Kendrick Lamar’s projects. So I never believed the type of performance that I could do. Three niggas making it out, that’s mission impossible. What am I to do when every neighborhood is an obstacle? Two niggas making it out had never sounded logical. Survivor’s guilt, strained relationships, and self-hatred are all persistent symptoms of his upbringing in Compton. To Pimp A Butterfly shows that making it out of Compton isn’t enough to shake it off. One of them is the constant negativity following him from childhood. Like plots in an addictive series of books, Kendrick has several consistent themes which he expands upon with every project. In terms of maturity, the originality of the content, and the development of running themes, it’s hard to argue for another hip-hop artist in the past decade that makes projects with the quality and cohesion that Kendrick Lamar does.

And it’s not just better verses and bigger hits. After all, he did make the cover art for the single a photo of Kobe Bryant standing next to Michael Jordan, so… And, the rest of the folks out there gave the W to Jay because, well, he’s Jay! But, no matter what you thought, it’s pretty clear that Kendrick knew that these kinds of arguments were going to break out when the song hit the ‘net. Others felt like Kendrick got the last laugh simply because he tacked an extra verse onto the track after hearing the heat that Jay delivered. ![]() Some people felt like Kendrick Lamar stole the show on the remix to his song. And, as usual, most of them took place on Twitter. Shortly after the official “Bitch Don’t Kill My Vibe (Remix)” dropped yesterday, arguments like this one broke out all over the Internet. ![]() “Yooo, did you hear Kendrick Lamar ‘Renegade’ Jay-Z on that “Bitch Don’t Kill My Vibe (Remix)” yesterday?
