released in 1978
can go back further and further but I really don't got the time, point should be obvious by now
lol i feel like you're being disingenuous I'm not saying Kendrick invented talking about being black
NWA, one of the most famous rap acts, are generally known for talking about the black experience in america / racism / policing etc in their raps ( F*** da police on of the biggest songs ever)
even before that, black artists across a multitude of genres sang/rapped about the black experience
Saying Kendrick started this "wave" is just plain stupid and shows you really haven't being paying attention to the genre (or black music) at all
mans quoting NWA and Nina Simone I'm talking about the modern era
people d*** ride tpab too much its like we get it you have self righteous music taste that no one outside of the realm of d*** riding can comprehend.

before TPAB I feel like many black artists never really talked about their black identity before?
1978 comes before 2016 last time I checked
Man just take the L and move on

maybe I should have been clearer but I feel like that should go without saying
Y’all flaming OP but it’s not even that hot of a take
Production carries the album heavily
i am talking about the mainstream music in the modern era I am obviously not talking about anything else. idk if people are intentionally missing the point but there was a clear shift when TPAB dropped. people who never really cared about that aspect of their identity became passionate about it
is op the weakest link on this site
Childish Gambino used to rap about not getting p**** from black girls
after TPAB dropped he grew a beard, did This is America, Atlanta and Guava Island

This was Rap-A-Lot at they're peak. They're production was A+ around this time.
