In 1980, Richard Pryor agreed to an interview with a Mormon high school public access station while on his lunch break from filming STIR CRAZY in Arizona, but literally none of the footage was usable for tv because Pryor was high on cocaine and let it all loose
Drake telling Kendrick Lamar to “read the Bible” only further proves how surface level his understanding of Kendrick’s music truly is. Religion, morality, guilt, temptation, judgment, hypocrisy and redemption have been central themes in Kendrick’s work since Section.80.
From good kid, m.A.A.d city’s prayers and spiritual rebirth, to To Pimp a Butterfly’s battles with Lucifer and ego, to DAMN.’s fear and divine punishment, to Mr. Morale confronting generational trauma and accountability, to GNX sounding almost prophetic and militant in its tone.
Hell, Kendrick prayed to God and asked for forgiveness for what he was about to do to this nigga on 6:16 in LA!
Kendrick has consistently written from the perspective of a flawed, conflicted human being wrestling with morality, not presenting himself as morally pure.
That is why the “beat yo ass and hide the Bible if God watching” line works. It exists within contradiction. Drake responding to it like Kendrick got caught in hypocrisy misses the entire foundation of Kendrick’s artistry and again he proves he doesn’t actually study shit.
