Hello World!
So this week, I have been pretty obsessed with Kendrick's Lamar's new album DAMN., and I thought I'd share with you something I've learned from the proclaimed rap savior. I think it's really fitting that the first single released from the album was HUMBLE., because besides that song, the entire album is filled with verses of K-Dot explaining to us how one acts humble, which it such an appropriate lesson because people today are so self-absorbed and full of themselves, especially in the rap game. So it is refreshing to see a rapper who is a little more modest. So anyway, here are my top ten lines from DAMN. of Kendrick teaching us how to be HUMBLE.
1. I just win again, then win again like Wimbledon, I serve
Yeah, that's him again, the sound that engine in is like a bird
You see fireworks and Corvette tire skrrt the boulevard
Here Kendrick gives a shout out to some other Compton natives, Venus and Serena Williams, who have won a modest 17 trophies at Wimbledon, and so to compare himself to them it's like saying 'I win, but not much'. He's being modest clearly, because he has 7 Grammys. Then to further show his humility, he describes the modest car he drives - a simple corvette with a turbo engine (bird sound) and custom exhaust pipes (fireworks).
