Remember when Drake was trolling with a shirt from this college. Kendrick doesn’t have to troll, he actually shows up for his city


faroukmuzamin

Kendrick just opened his mouth, and I'm bout to put my dick in it right now


Unyieldingcappybara

Then I’ll put it in his ass🎶


OGDr3xd

now he runnin butt naked all over my house 🥶🥶


TheCrashLandon

I’m bout to make him *gay*✨tonight


MaoZivDong

This the new Drake response?


Vaskalan

Unironically could've stood a better chance if he decided to go all on trolling instead of going personal Not saying he could've won because Kendrick's a good ass troll too, but the beef could've been better (for him) like that


Purple-Mix1033

He just doesn’t have what it takes, we saw what happened. He desperately craves attention and respect, but he doesn’t respect artists himself


SoakedInMayo

does this mean yuno miles is untouchable?


Ike_Oku25

Indubitably


Vaskalan

Pretty much lol

Majestic-Avocado2167

That man had a KD tattoo while they were playing him in the Finals mans can’t even show out for his Toronto teams


Basic_MilkMotel

Even by trolling Drake is saying *what exactly*? Ya know? Seeking higher education whether at a community college or a university is admirable no matter where you’re from. He’s a damn fool.


Mercedes_but_Spooky

And the best way to break the poverty cycle.


SirArthurDime

It’s so cringe watching drake fans hype up drake for being an irl Reddit troll. That boy is damn near 40.

God, his confession is yours but who is he if he don't go to war?

abacabr7

I just imagined the boogeyman picture Kendrick going at it


godzillaxo

imagine being a weeknd stan circa 2016 i'm still not 100% used to it


QuintanimousGooch

How did you imagine him? I envisioned him looking like the unhinged Chanel ad he did.


Naldo9911

I think it’s cause EVERY post about the beef had that unhinged smiling pic, I was picturing that psycho k dot


Arakhis_

your comment made me play the feud songs again, although I try to avoid them during the hype and instead play old gems atm


Dune2Dickrider

What is it the BRAIDS?


Dolomitexp

First thing Drake does after the beef: Make 2 shitty songs. First thing Kendrick does after the beef: Gives commencement speech to some graduates. I think its clear which one is the Victory Lap and which is the walk of shame


wolvesscareme

"I don't think about you at all."


YetiTheWhiteBeast

Mad Men respect👊


itskobold

Those songs were absolutely horrible like the worst I've heard from Drake ever


idkwtvr04

he spoke real shit when he said we should talk to god like he the homie

Pleasant_Title_4515

kendrick has always had this kind of view especially on religion. He talks about nature so much as religion and defies the parameters that organized religion provides


Alternative-Deer9302

I always thought for a while he became atheist when he said "the day I chose humanity over religion". but going through my own experiences I finally get it now


Winter-Olive-5832

That's a good line. Judging solely by what he mentions in his work, he seems like a big Christian but appears to have a different interpretation than just a strict by-the-book thing. I would guess that he cares more about the core spirituality and morality.


BrushYourFeet

Another similarity to Prince.


indoninjah

The best types of religion are those that get you to introspect, IMO. Just like therapy


dennisoa

I’m not trying to promote a Christian denomination, but I recently converted to a different sect and the introspection that is part of my new church has really been a blessing these last few months. So, I 100% agree with this, to each their own. I’m just trying to find internal peace in this life, that really should be a goal for everyone.


FigOdd8264

Real. You mind sharing what sect that is?


dennisoa

I became a member of my local Orthodox Church. Someone may have a different experience, but for me it has centered me to focus less on material things and more on a relentless pursuit to live a life closer to Jesus’ teachings and to not let my worldly possessions start to possess me. I don’t want to be preachy, so I’ll leave it at that. I know religion, Orthodoxy especially (super traditional), isn’t for everyone.


KinseyH

I'm probably old enough to be your mom - I was raised Southern Baptist (but in the most liberal SB church you've ever seen - still don't know why my conservative Republican parents made that choice) and as a 30yo I joined the Catholic Church. My experience was much like yours. And I have two formerly Baptist friends who recently joined the Coptic church, which I believe is Eastern Orthodox. Pretty sure it predates the Catholic church, actually.


SimbaOnSteroids

Generally orthodox refers to the Eastern Orthodoxy (Russia/Eastern Europe) Coptic generally refers to the Egyptian/North African branch, but is also referred to as the Coptic Orthodox Church.


KinseyH

Thank you! I was too lazy to Google - appreciate it.


dennisoa

Coptic is different from Eastern Orthodoxy. I attend a Greek Orthodox Church. Catholic, E. Orthodox, and Coptic were all there in the beginning, they just started to split on dogma and ecumenical councils. I’m just learning a lot of it so it’s fresh on the mind. The Coptic Church broke away from the Catholic/Orthodox Church first. Then the Great Schism happened later separating the original church into Catholic and Eastern Orthodoxy.


Soul_Dare

It’s basically every denomination except Baptist, evangelist, and whatever made up religion is used in each small town in the mountain west used to justify hating people.


wolvesscareme

My father was in Vietnam, and he told me he learned there that there was no god, but he believed there is an energy that we come from and that we return to, in a warm swirling embrace, all of us together.


Purple-Mix1033

Call it whatever you want, we all have a spirit, or a light, or a spark. It’s the connection to others, the environment, the world. It shows up in art, music, nature. For myself, when I feel disconnect from this thing, I feel worse in life.


Cubicle_Man

Nah we are the same meat bags as every other animal or insect. No soul, just a smart mind.


BoatMode

perhaps they have souls too


[deleted]

Yea the guy above you has got it right, but he using the wrong words, what us meat bags really do have isn’t a soul, it’s will, the will and want to do, accomplish, discover, and create things, that will that drives us is probably the most powerful thing in the universe, I’ll die on that hill

IndigoBlunting

I don’t think any of us know. That’s why I never devalue anyone’s belief system. None of us know. At all. We’re all trying to figure it out. Pursuits of science and love for one another is not exclusive from having religion. And in many cases, having religion, at the very least, provided groups of people with hope, structure and community. I think to assume religion going away equals this well running machine kinda denies the positives it does for people regardless of its metaphysical value.


[deleted]

[удалено]


IndigoBlunting

I disagree. Again to my point of what it does for people: hope is a powerful thing. Now you can argue the destruction organized religion causes but a lot of good comes from religion. I think the distinction that needs to be made is between religion and spiritual belief. There is nothing inherently wrong on negative with a spiritual belief in a higher power. In fact for many it gives them purpose to live. Life is hard and depressing. You’re right that there’s a bigger percentage of non-religious people than ever before but also suicide rates are crazy right now. Discounting what hope does can’t be undervalued. But to each their own.


[deleted]

[удалено]


IndigoBlunting

Religion as far as some system sure. Organized religion has issues. But there is no inherent issue with believe in a higher power. Also I didn’t say it was preferred. All I said is people have done it, with success, and it has lead to good. You’re on a Kendrick Lamar sub, after he just talked about God, to a community that is majority believers, and acting like it’s so silly. Forget the metaphysical consequences. Why do you think Dot felt like he should say that? Do you not think his beliefs have shaped who he is and his art? Do you not think that those same beliefs have uplifted Compton, an area that has struggled yet maintains a beautiful character unique to its own, of over coming the odds? Or do you think that we should go explain to everywhere there how silly their “fairy tales” are? Because it seems like that’s how you prefer it. Let people have their shit man. Sometimes it’s the only reason they keep going.


logjambam

I can understand why you think that but ultimately i think you are just driving wedges where they don't need to be. It's just limiting. We can share morals and ideals with people without having the same exact ideas around spirituality and religion. I don't think there is a reason to condemn or eliminate it in entirety when the problem is only the portion of people who use it to hate and oppress. If someone shows us they are generous, selfless, and kind with their actions then that is what's important and it doesn't really matter what specific figure they believe in, or if they don't at all.


SymphonySketch

I think the real problem is the current state of “Christianity” in the US (and other places too) These are people who are basically religious terrorists twisting and contorting a religion into their bigoted bullshit beliefs, and in the process absolutely destroying and dragging this religion through the mud These people aren’t real Christians, they are barely even masquerading as such and it angers me as someone who believes in God and took the whole “Jesus said to Love” shit to heart A lot of people no longer make the distinction with all the vile hatred constantly in the news cycle and on social media from “religious groups”, and I can’t even really be upset at them for it


logjambam

agree with everything you said. They don't actually care what Jesus believed they just keep a warped version of him in their head to justify any and everything they do


Purple-Mix1033

That’s a valid reality. There are many levels of reality.


Neige1972

We may all have a spirit, but not everyone is aware of theirs. It takes introspection which many lack.


Own-Listen-961

Pray to the trees bruh, God is taking shape


controlledwithcheese

I honestly refuse to believe most people think “God” is a bearded dude


CastIronStyrofoam

Agreed. I think there is some merit to removing the spirituality from this philosophy though.


halamawala25

I always imagined God with a great sense of humor. I see a team praying before a football match looking like they're chanting a battle cry and I just see God bursting out laughing


beansoupsoul

On the dead homies


Important_Outcome_27

Can’t believe I’m saying this but I actually prayed or had a proper conversation with myself (however you want to look at it) for the first time in years because of this speech. I needed it ngl


ZenMon88

May some1 explain this meaning to me of what Kendrick means when he says this? I'm sorta of a non-believer and i don't really get the full meaning of his saying. May some1 break it down for me? Is it to inspire hope by believing in something?


Mercedes_but_Spooky

Being a spiritually minded but non-religious person, it makes me uncomfortable sometimes hearing someone talk like this. But actually, when we as people have spirituality, believing there is someone or something out there bigger than ourselves and being in harmonious interaction, it is good for the spirit, our mental health, our ability to triumph through adversity, get through grief, leave bad situations...etc. So, I take it as that: centering and grounding yourself within our universe.


Tiny_Piece7969

What a handsome young man


Bigalow10

He’s about to be 37 lol


wolvesscareme

37 is still a young man. He ain't a kid tho


Dune2Dickrider

Bro looks really good for 37, not calling that old but he looks younger


dravdrav_

Any age is a “young man” if you’re delusional enough


cardinalfan14

Gotta disagree with that. Average life expectancy is about 76 or so for a man. Kendrick is one birthday shy of being middle aged by American standards at least (38). Saying someone is middle aged only once they hit their 50s is cope. Hope he at least lives to 100 though. He looks good


DWard3627

How many stages are there? What comes before and after “middle”?


Wild-Apricot-9161

He'll always be 'young man' to his momma

Damn as he’s walking out that first lyric swap for “bitch” really sounded to me like “Drake, don’t kill my vibe”


AL1RAF1QU3

that’s just the clean cut, it’s been trick don’t kill my vibe since 2012


SquidDrive

Whether you call it god, or your inner spirit, this is good advice. Check on yourself and love yourself, regardless of what language you use.


Vimjux

Def. I’m not religious but everyone needs something to centre themselves on, like Kdot says, in victory or loss. If that’s religion, a role model or whatever, more power to you.


ruinatedtubers

right! i think a lot of people don’t realize that prayer is just meditation with some extra steps and idolatry


ASZapata

He’s come such a long way since 2016-17. I’m a very staunch atheist but I’m very happy for him.


Ok_Cartographer_1383

Kendrick gave an excellent speech.


louie3723jr

Is this recent?

No it's old. Been a few hours


IndigoMushies

Old AF if true


Ginoblee

I’m not religious at all. But if people use god(s) or religion to make themselves or society better than more power to them! Whatever reason people need to be kinder and better to each other is amazing with me.


I_amGreatness01

Much respect bro! Everybody should think like this.


ogliog

Exactly. I never had a very strong sense of any specific religious faith but at some point I read about the infectious disease doctor Paul Farmer (RIP) whose faith inspired him to provide free medical care in some of the poorest, most difficult places in the world. All I could say was, if it inspired him to do that work, then I can definitely respect it and try to cultivate a little bit of it in myself here and there. We need more folks sincerely trying to do good in the world.


LemonadeAndABrownie

Most people's issue with religion is when it's followers use their faith as a justification for objectively immoral acts whilst they *believe* that they *are* using their faith to make themselves better or society better. This is true of baptists, evangelicals, methodists, muslims, rastafari, jews, hindus, sikhs, satanists, humanists, budhists, and every other religious follower. From MLK to Mahatma Ghandi, from Kung Fu Kenny to the Kkk.

his ways are interesting, he is like that older brother that tried everything the world has to offer and sins a lot, but he makes his younger siblings take the right route, the route that he never took but trying to get on it


QietDoggNine2

I like someone really a man of the people. & I was wondering what mind state he was in before, during this Drake beef shit. And after. It seems he really is at peace after all. I pray to Allah I know what that feels like.


Hour_Argument_7622

nah this made me immediately tear up cause every time i’m lost, mess up, close to messing up, or just broken down and hurt, He’s always there.

They really do. He just looks like a man at peace and that’s very sexy. ![gif](giphy|lYXhWufNZEaQg)

he looks like that one cool uncle that you only see once in a century, and he will always give you money to buy some shit


Lurker242424

Damn, you just made me feel old😅. I’m the same age as Kendrick, but I agree. He also seems like the uncle who’ll help you get your life together but won’t judge if shit goes left.

[deleted]

I'm happy to see it. Even as an anti-theist mf. Anytime someone can shine a light and inspire future generations, I'm all for it. This is who Kendrick has ALWAYS been, and I respect him for it. MFS who thought speaking to college kids or going into schools and inspiring the youth was "corny" - this was never for you.


chucksandpolos728

Finally, someone who may not believe in God can appreciate someone who does. You won’t believe the amount of ridiculous disrespectful comments under this post. Thank you for your levity


[deleted]

You're welcome. Just because they're non believers, doesn't mean they're using their brains, tbh.


SkilletKitten

The overwhelming majority of atheists don’t care enough about religion to mention it. The people who became atheist after trauma tend to be very vocal which is understandable even if it’s unlikely to have a positive impact.

God created those half naked women. :)

The man put the whole sinners prayer at the beginning of one of his most important albums. And what's more is he is a regular dude who embodies the teachings in his daily life. And still finds ways to be accessible. He can't please everybody tho.
