The way I see it, is like TPAB is beautiful to me because it essentially is the origin of where hiphop came from. Voicing the struggles of the people and displaying the beauty of it. Essentially that’s why having the blues and jazz be the back bone of the project heightens the quality even more. The blues basically birthed every genre we see today

not even just hip hop its a homage to black music in general

Black people pushing against thought and message like that’s corny and not what black people wanna hear is brain wash that you fell for.

Black people are the original thinkers, the original introspective ones.

You can never reduce an album like TPAB to some s*** for white people or corny niggas.

Nah it doesn’t though, he’s actually one of the most successful and intelligent niggas to ever post on this forum.

That’s the point I’m trying to make, we all are black and we need to unify. Calling a nigga “new black” or discrediting him for listening to an album like TPAB that genuinely and accurately portrays a lot of struggles young black people deal with is crazy and divisive but on the flip side we shouldn’t put down someone like Future because he’s black expression as well, and taking black creativity to insane heights.

I just hate all this constant disrespect on both sides, the way we tear down black artists is insane and makes me depressed.

We all gotta stand together as a culture before it’s taken from us fr

Y’all really taking the new black thing too personally ian tlaking about you it’s just mad people use that album as their awakening wr can’t act like the vinyl damn near ain’t a BLM poster in white folk house. My initial statement was that tpab was revolutionary if that was ur life. Most niggas I know identify with GKMC more? Like idk man it’s an amazing albcbu When it comes to defying Kendrick… idk man gkmc I don’t hate Kendrick but like cmon man performing in shackles for the Grammys just rubs me the wrong way. What was TPAB for? US? Or Critics? I always felt like it was more on the latter cause and when it came out and years after it’s release it just didn’t have the impact on our community that it did on there’s? Like I feel like GKMChad the impact tpab did

I know for sure you aren’t talking about me lmao, but I strongly disagree with boiling TPAB down to that. And Im just trying to refrain from divisive language within the black community when it isn’t necessary moving forward .

That’s what I like about Kendrick’s music is it’s about perspective, so you might not always agree with certain things he does like the shackles, or certain ideas presented but the intent in the album is pure and if you go and watch any of the interviews or actually listen to what hes saying in the verses that era the music is coming from a real place.

If you want to say GKMC over it sure, thats a classic and I have all the same praise for it. But he expanded the sound and the topics on TPAB, paid homage to so many black art forms in one album and just touched on a lot of s*** that hit a bit deeper than GKMC for SOME people. I’m not one of them niggas acting like TPAB is his only good album, his whole discography is great idc what a nigga favorite is.

But I just hate that whenever a black artist does something pro black or fully black in sound (Solange, Janelle, Kendrick, Beyonce etc) there are people doubting their intentional and calling it critic bait. It’s like we don’t trust each other as a community. Yes a lot of times albums that are entirely about the black experience get better reviews, but one its because black artist usually treat these task with great care and thought because it’s an important concept, and two white people admire us so obviously they will take to pro black art, we can’t control that. Why condemn and fight EACH OTHER over some s*** that isn’t even in our control? We gotta reprogram man, we have a lot of divisive thoughts

Thats YOU though bro, and thats honestly not as many people as you think it is.

Me I like to think with my music and relate to the content, Kendrick put a lot of relatable experiences into that music and did it in a truly amazing way. Not to mention the sound is some of my favorite production ever. And all my niggas irl felt the same, we heard it together for the first time. And none of us is no “new black” niggas we come from Militant parents, activist grandparents, my great grandmother built my city.

TPAB and Kendrick in general is this s*** in it’s purest, hip hop started as a platform to give a voice to the voiceless and have social content in the music. That doesn’t take away from an artist like Future because hip hop evolves and his name is fitting hes the evolution. The problem comes from the disrespect in your constant discussion of Kendrick, you make it sound like speaking about the things Kendrick speaks about is corny and only white people wanna hear it, its probably a young black kid in his room right now who wants to really talk that s*** but now feels like it pointless or corny because he got niggas saying the type of s*** you saying to him.

We gotta keep a balance in this s***, and the respect has to remain for hip hop to stay united and ours, we shouldn’t disrespect a nigga like Future artistry but also you shouldn’t downplay what Kendrick did on TPAB. That s*** means a lot, to some real ones. Its corny niggas listening to everything, u out your mind if you dont think its corny niggas who listen to Future but that doesn’t define it.
