Yeah as stated above. Lucifer.The Devil = LucyThings are starting to connect but I'm still a little lost as to what Lucy represents.
All the evils and temptations he attributes.
The album has similarities to Cole's last project in the aspect where the beginning and end of the album is based around entertainment and how they are used and abused, Lucy makes appearances around the album because of the temptations placed in front of Kendrick due to his success, album also is about the role of black folks in society and unifying, he is promoting us to come together to fight the real enemy. Another subjects on the album is materialism, respect, self worth and self esteem. The album appears to be a huge release (pause) for Kendrick on tracks where he raps about homies loss in the struggle like on 'u'.
I really like how Kendrick goes "into character" from the Mother to the Kid, he uses his voice to build the imagery, even tho rap wise he story telling isn't like a Joe Budden (3 Sides to a Story, excellent story telling track), the voices bring more life to his stories.
I peeped someone called it classic again above, you have to chill, please. Only nowadays folks are quick to deem a classic, in such a ADD state we are living in lol. Let the album marinate and make it mark, if it is truly a classic it will flourish as such, as the force of calling it classic won't really make it deemed so.
