Kendrick’s “resolution” or new focus in his career is to stop whack rappers from polluting the music industry with inferior content.
“Stop all the pollution / Talk too motherfucking much” is homophonically phrased as “Stop all the poll-you-shouldn’t talk too motherfucking much.” The second meaning being he doesn’t want to hear you so that he can stay in his vibe – a lyrical bridge to help him get back to the meaning of the chorus.
I feel as if there’s another meaning. People constantly talk about how they’re going to do a lot such as stopping pollution but they don’t ever follow it up with action. Kendrick is talking to the people who talk about how they’re gonna go big in hip hop but don’t work hard for it like he has.
