Kendrick Lamar’s Harrowing Song ‘We Cry Together’ Has a History Far Deeper Than Eminem’s ‘Kim’

Jem Aswad Senior Music Editor“We Cry Together” is probably the most conversation-stopping song on Kendrick Lamar’s brilliant and challenging fifth album “Mr. Morale & the High Steppers” — a horrifyingly realistic recreation of an argument in an abusive relationship that finds Lamar and actress Taylour Paige saying absolutely horrible things to each other, with her delivering an entire verse while sobbing, and apparently culminates with the two of them having sex.The most commonly cited precedent for “We Cry Together” is Eminem’s 2000 song “Kim,” an even more horrifying scenario in which he murders his real-life ex-wife.

‘Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers’ Is a Difficult, Ambitious Tour of Kendrick Lamar’s Psyche: Album Review

Andrew Barker Senior Features Writer“I’ve been going through something.”These are the first words that Kendrick Lamar speaks on “Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers,” and if the 19 songs that follow over the next 72 minutes are any indication, it’s quite an understatement.

Why Kendrick Lamar is the greatest rapper of his generation

dropped from the hip-hop heavens on Friday — Kendrick Lamar wears a crown of thorns while holding his daughter.And no doubt, in the 10 years since his insta-classic breakthrough, 2012’s “good kid, m.A.A.d city,” the 34-year-old artist has emerged as the king of the rap world, winning 14 Grammys and even a freaking Pulitzer Prize. While contemporaries such as Drake have had more hits, Lamar has earned mad respect as the most important rapper of his generation. On his ambitious new double LP — evenly split into two parts with nine tracks each — Lamar reflects on both the power and the pressures of his position.

Drake obliged, with the pair subsequently appearing on-stage together at the special concert.Lamar released his long-awaited, 73-minute fifth studio album ‘Mr.
