Song meaning for King Kunta by Kendrick Lamar

"King Kunta" by Kendrick Lamar is a song about the rapper's rise to fame and the challenges he faced along the way. The lyrics address the issue of authenticity in the rap industry, with Lamar calling out other rappers for using ghostwriters and sharing bars. The chorus repeats the line "Bitch, where were you when I was walking?" as a way of highlighting the lack of support he received before he became successful. The song's title references the character Kunta Kinte from the novel Roots, who refused to let his captors cut off his foot. Lamar uses this metaphor to convey his own determination to succeed and not let anyone cut him down. The song ends with a spoken word poem that reflects on the power of influence and the importance of staying true to oneself.

Funny song meaning for King Kunta by Kendrick Lamar

Alright, alright, alright, let's dig into the funk of "King Kunta" by Kendrick Lamar! So, K-Dot's mad, and he's got a bone to pick with all them monkey-mouth motherfuckers sittin' in his throne. He's got the power of the yams, and you can smell it when he's walking down the street (we can smell it, we can smell it!). He's a rapper, he don't need no stinkin' ghostwriter, but he's noticing all these other rappers sharing bars like they're in a two-man cell (whoa there, boys!). Something's in the water, I tell ya! Now Kendrick's bringing Richard Pryor back from the dead and manipulating Bill Clinton with desires (must be one helluva yam!). He's got the whole world talkin' and King Kunta's takin' no losses, but he's also getting a little contemplative this time around. Life ain't nothin' but a fat vagina, and he's just trying to figure out if we all really want the funk. So, do you want it? Do you want the funk?
