What does Kendrick Lamar mean when he says "Dominoes"?

Postby tadpole25 » Feb 12th, '13, 19:48

in Good Kidd Madd City, a couple of times, it's mentioned. his dad is "trippin on dominos".

What do you think that means?

I don't think it means pizza or the game people gamble on.

In the context used, it seems like a drug.

Perhaps it's a prescription, as the tablets may look like dominos.

thought he was really talking about the pizza he ordered lol but I have to admit that in the context used, it can be a drug :-k .

can't find anything on google except some people talking about the game or the pizza.
I found an interview about his film and one of the question was about the dominoes but kendrick didn't say anything about these damn dominoes... I guess we'll have our answer when he releases GKMC : The film

Regardless of what he's talking about, the context of that statement isn't that he's literally "tripping" on dominoes.

His mother was telling him that she wasn't worried about the van, that she'd reschedule her appointment, and that his dad wasn't even [worried] about the dominoes anymore. She was telling him this to let him know to get his ass home, but that he wasn't in deep shit, and that his dad wasn't mad anymore.

He's talking about dominoes, that you play with. His daddy want to play some bones and K-dot has them in the van. That's all.
