GKMC Elimination Game - MONEY TREES WON!

[King Lance]

the hook contains more double entendres and metaphors than the verses

[1LynguisticMind]

I didn't give a fuck about SP when gkmc leaked but yeah, it's a clever song tbh

In Jay-Z's book Decoded, Jay said that one quality of a great rapper is being able to trick the audience, kind of to play a part but really be doing something else entirely. His example was 99 Problems. He said that he put the "but a bitch ain't one" part in because he knew that with that hook people would say "there goes Hov talking about the bitches again" when the song isn't really about females. But also all of the song's commercial appeal was in that line and it became one of his biggest hits.

I think Swimming Pools is a similar situation, the hook sounds like a typical party/drinking song, but the verses are actually anti-alcohol. By doing the chorus the way he did, he has people everywhere drinking and partying to the song, probably not even noticing the message. And by fooling the mainstream, he made a hit with a message.

it's a clever song and it's probably the reason why it became his biggest hit, most people who listen to that song could care less about the message or lyrics in the song. that song can be used as amessage or as a club party single

Very smart move played out by Kendrick.

I will analize that shit more than
In my current point of view, Kendrick made a regular commercial appeal first single and found a way to place it in the album storyline with a skit, and forced it down people's throats
I'll rap genius it when I get home, nice explanation btw

Right, but are you actually participating? Either join in or bug out, I don't think anyone cares about your personal view on these type of threads.

Hardly anyone cares about anyone's personal views on anything

Now Or Never, shit, this song isn't that good people.
