TheFaderI never said that it was.
But Drake and his fans are the ones clowning Kendrick for making attempts at social commentary in his art.
That’s why Drake can get criticized for not even making an attempt to do so
yeah i dont think you should be clowned purely for making social commentary
i do think kendrick specifically should be clowned for saying "i am not your savior" then turning around and trying to convince us hes our savior

Media literacy is dead if you think Not Like Us is about Kendrick being a savior of anything
Mar 13, 2025·2 repliesLeftsideRespectfully Fuego, I already knew that but I know your earnest so I'll give you my perspective
I understand what you're saying but identity is something that's coveted and is a cornerstone in a lot of our (Black Americans specifically) lives. Being stripped of identity and constantly having to reinvent yourselves as a people is one of the effects of creating dissention between a people. You gotta remember slavery is the most significant even in history and we're watching the benefits of something that ended almost 200 years ago. We get to enjoying the celebration of a people, but we get irritated by the pain. All the while the intellectual property does not benefit the culture or it's people, and is actively used to continue the bondage of ours creators. It goes as far as our downtrodden getting subjected to limiting to basically perform for food. Although slavery was a bit ago, many of us have talked or known of a family member that's been through some type of servitude, imminent domain, unpaid and/or predatory medical research, displacement from floods or fires, etc
Essentially the soul of the people is in the music. These conversations will continue to happen because discourse as a whole hasn't come to terms with the pain of Black peoples, albeit I do think some of it is rage race bait. Sorry for being long winded but I had to
i appreciate you explaining it all for real, i do think I understood that slavery is still something that has an impact today whether its living relatives or just the fact that black people historically didnt get to own homes which is a large part of generational wealth
sometimes i just get lost at the "if you're white you dont get an opinion on art" concept, especially if its coming from a place of genuine feedback and not a racial place

Death of the author, artists always get s*** projected onto them then blamed for it
Kendrick one of the biggest victims of this lol

the entire point of the song is that drake and co are superficial weirdos poisoning the culture and kendrick and his ppl are not like them, yes
