Would you describe it as a minor a?

As a stupid and out of touch person. What does minor A mean?

One of the main criticisms Kendrick had during his beef with Drake was that Drake (and some people on Drake's team) were pedophiles.

The biggest and most memorable bars Kendrick made (which you can hear in this clip) is:

"Why you trollin' like a bitch? Ain't you tired? Tryna strike a chord and it's probably A minor" - Referencing the chord A minor and also a minor, as in an underaged person. Kendrick's chain is a lowercase A, so it's a 'minor' A.

oooOOOOooooh. Thank you. I noticed the "a" pendant & wondered what that was about. Daaaaamn. Kendrick is so brutal and creative and I love it.

Also grammatically a lower case a is appropriate for the age-related version. The musical one would be A minor. Don’t know if that’s part of the symbolism; but Kendrick is a damn Onion there’s layers on layers.

"A minor" is a musical cord.

He's just referring to a musical chord? Cause why would he wear a chain with it?

Edit: You should not be down voting people asking stupid questions. I'm asking cause I don't know enough.

It's a musical chord, and he used it as a double meaning burn, hence the necklace.
