"The revolution begins within." -- Exodus 18:31 ・・・ "The Old Testament is full of prophets trying their damnedest to save the world. More often than not, the first obstacle they must overcome is self: self-doubt, self-loathing, even their personal aversion to self-sacrifice. Moses the deliverer was a murderer with a speech impediment. Noah the ark-builder was a documented drunk. Elijah the resurrector was straight-up suicidal. All were broken vessels, but vessels for their God, nonetheless. Then there was Jeremiah. He suffered depression so badly — likely from carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders — that students of the Bible refer to him as the weeping prophet. I've recently taken to calling him something else: the patron saint of Kendrick Lamar Duckworth. Like Kendrick, Jeremiah was pretty prolific in his time. He penned the longest book in the Old Testament, Jeremiah as well as Kings and Lamentations. Think of them as his three major-label studio LPs, the same number contained in Lamar's TDE/Aftermath/Interscope discography. His most personal LP, Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City most easily aligns with Jeremiah's self-titled accounting, while his follow-up and most political album, To Pimp A Butterfly, might be seen as his Book of Kings — Jeremiah's 400-year history of the upheaval of the kingdoms of Israel and Judah. But DAMN. is Lamar's Lamentations, bleak in tone and temperament, long on suffering and short on hope." -- Rodney Carmichael for NPRmusic https://www.npr.org/2017/12/12/568748405/the-prophetic-struggle-of-kendrick-lamars-damn ・・・ #Repost @gliuri (@get_repost) ・・・ #jeremiah #duckworth #kendricklamar #exodus1831 #prophetic #albumoftheyear #kings #lamentations (at Nat Turner Tours)
