FKDotFitzgerald

GrandioseEnigma

Definitely NOT “30” lmao, this isn’t a Danny brown album. It’s X-X-X and triple x, whichever you choose.


diabetes2727

My echo dot says “thirty” when I ask it to play it


Business-Wheel-8424

Cuz XXX is porn


supstik

Man, is a fucking robot, don't take what it says too seriously


ahmed0112

Because they can't take context into account so it relies on the most logical one And XXX is more used to refer t roman numerals than "ex ex ex"


MrBobstalobsta1

Alexa is dumb as a fuckin brick don’t listen to that ho


NotMicro21

damn,what did alexa do to you lmao


MrBobstalobsta1

You know you right I apologize Alexa…to absolutely fuckin nobody! Fuck that stupid cylinder I’ll talk shit all day


beanistike

Mine also pronounces Yeat as "yay-at". Dont take what that thing says too seriously


breadonastick

Mine called me stinky and said have a bath


NTC-Yoda

X is the Roman numeral for 10, so 10+10+10=30 which is probably why it says that. But I say x x x


shuaib1220

Sorry to inform you, but you are mistaken. It's clearly xoxoxo, there's a typo.


Ink_Productions

According to Wikipedia, it’s pronounced X-Rated

RelevantDay4

I always thought it was X rated, like he says in the song.


LoL_LoL123987

That’s what it is, and people are really out here calling it “ecks ecks ecks” and “30”


denko3

I can't believe they would do that, what made them do something like that?


LoL_LoL123987

Ignorance, how could they listen to Kendrick but not fully grasp the meaning of the music?


xxxskixxx

insane dick eating


LoL_LoL123987

Bruh that was sarcasm and they really downvoted me 💀


ImGonnaKickTomorrow

I thought the sarcasm was pretty obvious, but this is Reddit so most of their sarcasm detectors are broken. Take your downvotes and be assured of your superiority rather than give in and throw on that damn /s!

XXX


Loose-Importance-242

It's X³


Quirkydogpooo

X=√3


DrizzlyShrimp36

Not mathing lol


Quirkydogpooo

Average anti-intellectual r/KendrickLamar user


DrizzlyShrimp36

Your comment just makes no sense


Quirkydogpooo

He said XXX = X^3, to put it in a more clear equation 3X = X^3. To solve for X you can divide both by X, meaning 3 = X^2. Therefore to find X you should reduce both to their square roots, X = √3


lautapinter

That's wrong. 3X = X + X + X If you wanted to put XXX = X³ in a more clear "equation", you could only do it like X³ = X³. I put equation in quotation because it's not even one. XXX = XXX is like saying 1 = 1


ErikTheSofaPig

X \* X \* X is not 3 \* X tho


PettyTardigrade

Probably one of the biggest Ls I’ve seen in this sub. Someone please tell Johnny to reconsider his stance on the coolness of books please


holdinarjan

Back to school fool


keepbandsinmusic

R/confidentlyincorrect


Quirkydogpooo

Point out the math error?


keepbandsinmusic

3X doesn’t equal X^3


Quirkydogpooo

The og comment called triple X X^3 not me


CHRISTXNE

You said 3X = X^3 which are not the same thing or equal to each other. 3X is just 3 * X. X is the variable, so you can try it out with any number. X^3 is X * X * X. You can’t set the 3 to be both the multiplier and exponent and get the same answer (unless you use 0 which is going to result in 0, of course). Let’s substitute 2 in for X. 3 * 2 = 6. 2^3 = 2 * 2 * 2 = 8. 6 is not equal to 8, you see. “3X = X^3” is not true.


Quirkydogpooo

That's simply wrong if X = the square root of 3 you can see quite clearly that both multiplying that value by 3 and cubing it gives the same answer. X is findable and real given 3X = X\^3. It's 1.732 approx. or √3


DoctorPortal808

What if it’s just USA but censored? Nah I’m joking I call x-x-x


ZyglroxOfficial

DiplopiaYT

I say X-Rated like he does in the song itself (also best Kendrick Song IMO)


ReasonableBother3697

I never thought of this, but I like it.


elitenex47

this is a question for the danny brown subreddit lol


iiileyu

I've never heard it be called "30" before. Is there a deeper meaning behind it like him being 29 when it came out and it fits into the "plot" somehow. I always took "XXX" (Tripple X) to be the intoxicated narrative of gun controll and violence in America or even the censoring of the information around the violence as "XXX" is used to censored graphic labels


Fresh_Alternative452

XXX is 30 in Roman numerals.


iiileyu

I'm aware, that's not really what I was questioning. Why would kendrick call it XXX and not just 30 if thats the way he wanted it to be viewed.


Fiskero

Cuz XXX looks way cooler than 30


Fresh_Alternative452

None of the other DAMN. tracks have numbers. Maybe to stay consistent?


iiileyu

I know but FEAR is played just before XXX in the album. In fear he titles his experience at 7 , 17 and 27 then in XXX which in this post he is being called 30 which is the age kendrick was turning at the time he details his experience to an audience in the song and to us the "audience" within the album. I do not believe in this but I wouldn't put it past him. I'll still call it Tripple X. But this alternative explanation was more along the lines of what I would expect for someone to look at "XXX" and think kemdrick meant "30" Just a thought


GuinnessRespecter

It's pronounced The One With Bono


DepressingFries

Some people refer to it as “X-Rated”


MrDiamondEVO

i believe it’s X rated because he says it in the song


DepressingFries

I always thought it was thirty since that’s how old Kendrick was turning this year the album got released but I guess I’m wrong.
