"Kendrick Lamar made a good album but I mean it's not really about anything. Swimming Pools is just about getting drunk or whatever and everything else is just like trying to make money."

What else happened after that? Or is that all to the story
That's all that's worth talking about. They were talking about African hip hop so the American stuff was just a tangent. My roommate thinks the song Power is about decentralized government though... Nobody contradicted the quote guy if that's what you're asking.
Your friend is reading waaaay too much into that song. Power is about Kanye, it's a supremely personal song as is the rest of that album. He's basically exorcising his demons in song.
Pretty much.
Or POUR UP DRANK FADED DRANK FADED DRANK
Not much anymore recently though, so RIP Kendrick's career until he makes another jawnt like that I guess
Chill. Borderline forgettable.
Yep.
Sing About Me/Dying of Thirst is definitely not just about making money...2/3s of the album deals with deeper existential issues than you're suggesting.

I was listening to the Snoop Lion snippets. Is the album clean? Is there a dirty version on the net?
Yep.
Yep.

2/3? Really? Nope not buying it
2 to 3 songs maybe and with a theme of growing up in LA and there
He isn't being recklessly destructive but he was reaching for mainstream success
And nothing wrong with that
Kendrick gonna sell out the one fans like Lupe did.

I just hope he doesn't take off as much time as Cole..
Cole literally took a year off and released barely any music outside of features
Hopefully Kendrick's new work/album is the collab with Cole

Well too bad because Kendrick pretty much confirmed he will take his time to create his next album because he doesn't want to rush it. Besides dude has been teasing GKMC itself for like the past 4 years anyway
Man you're late, and you should probably post that in Pop-Gaf tis more relevant.

His next project should be a TDE project
But I have a feeling he will be getting way more features next time
