right lmaooo I mean like your rappers just solve racism it’s easy

Imagine kendrick gets in touch with noname and starts reading some of what she’s reading. Would be amazing

It’s not they don’t know what to do, they’re just so beyond where the masses are at with this that they’re kind of in limbo.

The system will make sure we don’t make it past protesting, so it must be frustrating knowing that as someone who’s already past that mentally.

they’re just dudes who spits bars man ion know why ppl press them to post about it on social media as if it affects anything

Kendrick knows protesting isn't enough. He wants to know what will cause real change

There’s a difference between a nigga that spits bars and a nigga that spits bars specifically about this s*** OFTEN. The reason why no one was really looking for Wayne to talk about this s*** but not so much so for Kendrick and Cole. Wayne is just a nigga that spits bars. They are not. They often speak to the bigger picture so when the bigger picture is the topic at hand why would we not expect them to speak. It’s the equivalent of asking niggas why they expect (insert hood rapper here) to retaliate to them/someone in their circle being robbed/killed. Their whole careers literally have built to this point. Kendrick made Hiiipower and y’all wanna wonder why people want him at the forefront of this

Dumbass post

If a Black man who has technically beat the system by rapping about how f***ed the system is and accumulated millions upon millions of dollars cannot figure out what to do other than protest who logically can. What resource do these celebs not have available to them that cannot be provided ?

he edited it on us smh

well unless they’re actively in politics they just rapping about how they feel about it so idk, i mean you got a point but still the change doesn’t start there to me, i think relying on this is just a way of copping only to move on from it (same ones asking for this are the same going back to rapper v rapper poll threads or gossip lipstick stuff the next day) but that’s not the right thing to do, it needs to be addressed more than just emotionally

needs to read up on qualified immunity and police unions

Kendrick is the artist we need...

You shouldn’t be able to edit what’s in the quote

They were mad at him for not tweeting but here he was outside

Definitely see them speaking on politics or the system in their songs as some kind of therapy of sorts. At the same time what does it mean that they can rap about this s*** better than anyone but are lost in the sauce when the s*** hits the fan? Does that not devalue their work akin to how snitching would devalue a street rappers work

i didn’t think of that, very good point

Kendrick and Cole made these beds man more specifically Kendrick which is why I personally feel he’s perfecting whatever he’s gonna do to make sure it covers all bases and lasts

I think we all want action, you got a lot of corporate businesses/public services coming out making statements and thinking the job is done

And it’s not like there’s some obvious answer to the questions Cole and probably Kendrick too want answers to. End of the day we are literally asking the government to dismantle an entire system and do something else literally no one knows for sure how to go about that s***. Answers like theirs come off as cop outs but Kendricks is less of a deal because that’s probably just an off the cuff quote he gave while protesting vs Cole having days/weeks to do research and s*** before putting his song out or doing whatever

the most difficult pill to swallow is that peaceful protesting is fetishized for the exact purpose of neutering any potential change that can happen. nobody is threatened by marches, that's why they get pushed so much and anyone who burns down a building or loots is simply a savage who is hurting the image of the movement. there can't be "action" until people realize this.

How about releasing music

He didn't ask anybody to educate him, y'all taking this s*** out of context, it was a personal conversation not a public statement
Maybe he did all he could, donate money, protest etc but still doesn't feel like that's enough action
I'm sure he can figure out what to do without posting tweets about it

Seems like a pretty innocuous and well intended statement to me, but I'm sure we'll get 40 pages of hating ass bullshit anyway.
