Love your podcast. What is the name of the theme music used in the beginning with the elevator? Thank you.

A journey through Kendrick Lamar's _DAMN._ This season (Season 5 of this podcast) has been a mind opener. Kendrick is slowly becoming my favourite artist. I can certainly (after understanding his messages in his discography) say there are many gems of inspiration I can carry into my creativity, especially articulation through subtlety and using symbolism.
Did he forget to mention 9thWonder?
shoulda done mac millers swimming, instead of repeating Kendrick. still excited tho
In How much does a dollar cost, what interview is that by kendrick lamar at the end where he's talking about love and god
again, generally appreciate and enjoy this season. at the same time, this episode is another classic example of a cishet man being out of his depth and unequipped to meaningfully dissect/unpack/deconstruct sexual orientation outside of heterosexuality. people can be bisexual - as in, the love interest maybe actually wants to be with the girl cuz... he likes her and is attracted to her? he could just not be out about being bisexual and the whole "take your mask off" would still apply.
cant help but cringe at two lightskinned cishet dudes attempting to deconstruct a black gay/bi/queer man's work. generally enjoyed season 4, but yall are not equipped to meaningfully unpack the themes of sexual orientation by sheer lack of lived experience. cant even name the LGBTQ community lol... apparently we are just "that community".
Dig the analysts but the B in LGBT is not just a stepping stone.
Never stop dissecting,you restore hope within me and many other people ❤️🙏🏾
Also, the fact that it's ELTON JOHN that sings at the end!! Who also had a "shooting star" type of intro to the celebrity life. Who also drowned himself in drugs and alcohol and sex to escape his reality. Chilling
Great podcast with thoughtful commentary.
This breakdown is phenomenal, and it makes me appreciate the album so much more than I already did.
Truly an inspiration to all. Kendrick Lamar asked, "When shit hits the fan, is you still a fan?" This absolutely applies to the tragedies that fell onto Lauryn Hill. She was and still is a visionary, and she deserves all the respect and love in the world.
great conversation
way to give everyone blue balls
Aaaah.... The Queen...Selah🙏🏾🙌🏿🙏🏽🙌🏿
Awesome podcast, could you plz dissect an Eminem album?
