Kendrick Lamar’s music has always sparked debate. In fact, some negative press coverage has made it into his newest album, DAMN. On this record, Kendrick focuses on identity — not only the black identity in America, but on the question “who am I?” He finds himself trapped between competing narratives, and explores stark contrasts; tracks include PRIDE. and HUMBLE., LOVE. and LUST. 

On this podcast, Dan and Patrick discuss how underlying these contrasts are Lamar’s desire for LOYALTY., authenticity, and LOVE. 

Content advisory: this is a hiphop album. It contains swearing. So does the podcast.
