"Some people like the way it feels.
Some people wanna kill their sorrows.
Some people want to fit in with the popular,
that was my problem."
-Kendrick Lamar.
This song is one of the reasons I stand up for rap music. From first listen, most people think this is a rad drinking song. Oh, contraire. Kendrick is talking about the effects of alcoholism and how that addiction will kill you if you let it take over your everyday life. He's advising kids to stay away from drinking and that it's hard to do so when peer pressure gets you away from your mindset.
Thanks, Kendrick, for sending a great message to kids through the negatively connotation rap music typically has. Thanks for this Tune Tuesday.
