doesnt mean critique is not worthwhile tho

Yall presenting the same vote Kamala and worry about it later logic about a man who says he will burn it down like a village

It is just don’t worship

Lupe Fiasco's LATEST release was distributed through a subsidiary of Sony Music.

So yes, Lupe left Atlantic and is STILL under one of the Big 3 labels whether he likes it or not.

Again, you're giving off this meme lmao

it's all wwe theatrics and people fall for it

What you are missing is I didn’t say Lupe perfect or Mia but they aren’t being worshipped or saying they about to burn it down

Post a comic a million times

You gotta stick to Ye/Video game discourse man these convoluted arguments ain’t it

Lupe is under Sony records still. If you make music at a certain level you’re going to be subject to the big 3. Unless you go nuclear like Kanye and force your way out completely

That's a twitter or forums thing, normies didn't give a f***. To normies it's either what's on the radio or you listen to "white" music.

To black folks, Drake was just black music. Yes we made fun of him for being Jewish and from Degrassi, but at the end of the day that was pop music and accessible music on r&b/hip hop outlets.

Nowaday, hip hop isn't what it was even 10 years ago. It's mainstream for better and for worse, it's the popular music. It's no longer a black art- white people listen to it on a massive scale. Same with all black culture really.

And they're consuming that music, singing and dancing to s*** about lightskins and darkskins that they have no concept of except yay now I can call lightskins white.

I ain't giving no one no passes because they made some classics a decade ago.

M.I.A. was doing songs with Travis "Fortnite, Cactus Jack, McDonalds" Scott

Name a song by Mia or Lupe where they say they are coming to burn it all down and change everything that they are the greatest

To him, snatching chains and burning tattoos (Drake's in this case) is ethical because it's his belief that Drake is a horrible person. Drake goes against all of Kendrick's morals and ethics. Therefore, it balances out.

kendrick could never

Ok? Nobody in here said Kendrick was perfect either but you're doing the "ok why is he critiquing the industry while under one of the big 3 labels" when them niggas own or are involved in everybody's releases somehow

huh what goin on in here. No fun allowed.jpeg level discourse in this thread.

WHERE ARE THE FUN TIMES?
WHERE ARE THE SLAM DUNKS?
WHERE THE CRASH OUT DRUNKED OUT POSTERS BLASTING 'WASNT ME' ON PETE?
DID THE PARTY DIE?
WHERE THE HOE SLIMES (UN)SLYLY SNIFFING FARTS OFF THE BACK O DARTIN' OUT DREK?
WHERE THEY AT?
WHERE THE MODERATOR WARNINGS FOR OVER-ENCUMBERED NUDITY?

Criticizing the industry from a tweet doesn’t compare to a straight forward song where the industry profits

Sony is bad but not UMG bad which Kendrick choose to sign to in 2020

you're proving my point lmao so promoting violence is ok when it's your personal enemy but when other people do it it's apparently something wrong with the culture

Lupe's whole rollout for LASERS before Atlantic f***ed it up was a mission statement about changing the negative aspects of the industry Nigga wrote a manifesto on his website when the rollout popped off

"To every man, woman & child... We want an end to the glamorization of negativity in the media. We want an end to status symbols dictating our worth as individuals. We want a meaningful and universal education system. We want substance in the place of popularity. We will not compromise who we are to be accepted by the crowd. We want the invisible walls that separate by wealth, race & class to be torn down. We want to think our own thoughts. We will be responsible for our environment. We want clarity & truth from our elected officials or they should move aside. We want love not lies. We want an end to all wars foreign & domestic violence. We want an end to the processed culture of exploitation, over-consumption & waste. We want knowledge, understanding & peace. We will not lose because we are not losers, we are lasers! Lasers are revolutionary. Lasers are the future."

LASERS literally stood for Love Always Shines Everytime, Remember 2 Smile

"That's a twitter or forums thing, normies didn't give a f***. To normies it's either what's on the radio or you listen to "white" music"

good job contradicting yourself in less than two sentences

"Nowaday, hip hop isn't what it was even 10 years ago. It's mainstream for better and for worse, it's the popular music. It's no longer a black art- white people listen to it on a massive scale. Same with all black culture really."

whether or not something is a "black art" isn't defined by the audience or who consumes it the most. no idea where you got that idea from

"And they're consuming that music, singing and dancing to s*** about lightskins and darkskins that they have no concept of except yay now I can call lightskins white."

"I ain't giving no one no passes because they made some classics a decade ago."

...okay? if your take away from the disses was Kendrick is on some colorist s***, that's your fault and theirs, go shoot a write-up or something about how evil Kendrick is for not being clearer in his lyrics lol

So what took him so long

Take Poetic Justice off platforms, rerelease GKMC without the feature.

All these people suddenly outing Drake, am I supposed to forget the decade of collaboration?

And how did that go ….

Bro is one post away from saying the labels are turning the frogs gay
