The Blacker The Berry is one of the most aggressive songs on the album.

The song is about black pride, as seen in lines like “You can vandalise my perception but can’t take style from me” and other lines in the hook where Assassin compares black people’s lives now to how it used to be when they first were taken to America, with lines talking about how whips left scars on his back and now he has a ‘big whip’ (a car) parked on the block.

In the beginning of Kendrick’s verse he says that he is the biggest hypocrite of 2015. What he means by this is told at the end of the song.

He’s a hypocrite because even though he tries to support the black community as much as he can, he still goes out in gangs and kills other black people.

The pure unapologetic flow of this song is straight cathartic.

Definitely one of my favorites from the album. You should give it a listen.
