y’all think any rapper who is slightly “artsy” or raps about anything remotely substantial at all is “intellectual” or “conscious” like kendrick isn’t from the streets lmao
there’s a very obvious racial component here but whatever because even this observation is beaten to death, it won’t stop you from separating rappers as ignorant street rappers and the more intellectual artsy ones
boy this disingenuous as f***
"nothing he says will effect any change" oh wow yal niggas gotta shut the f*** up w that one
The funny thing is if you fully listened to tpab it showed why this thinking (that he fully believed his words alone can change things) was fundamentally flawed from the JUMP.
TUPAC (shot cops btw. People can call him an actor but that is the most gangster act we’ve seen in hip hop for 3 decades) TOLD KENDRICK ITS GON BE MURDER ON THE STREET AND WE MIGHT HAVE TO EAT THE RICH AND ALL KENDRICK COULD SAY IN RESPONSE WAS “all we have left in my opinion is good vibes and music lol :3”
amplifying attention to the issue for the last couple weeks is nothing
$1 million dollars in aid is nothing
inspiring other fans to donate is nothing
snowballing fans to pressure other big artists into doing the same is nothing
elucidating for audiences just how entrenched zionism is in the power structure of these venues is nothing
this conversation, nothing
like wat reality are yal living in where anything someone does just suddenly doesnt matter in the slightest? every little thing in this world is consequential. bootlick ready ass mentality
he can donate money without ever saying a word.
I don't think any of that other stuff matters at all tbh.
best thing he could do is figure out how to send some weapons or put some pirus on a flight
but the bootlick s*** you're saying is bullshit lol
violence is the only answer unfortunately
and then u callously scrolled down the wiki page and used death statistics as a gotchya. yea i was there
Did Bob Marley stop a war on stage yes or no?
Simple yes or no question.
it also kills me because i see people on here say Lupe raps circles around Kendrick lyrically one moment, but then when it’s time to s*** on him in a vacuum now he’s overly conceptual and intellectual (allegedly so much he gets accused of unlistenability/being scaring-the-hoes core) to the point where he’s expected to comment on every single social issue (whether that’s right or wrong is whatever to me)
i don’t think there’s a single consistent viewpoint on this site outside of Drake being the GOAT tbh
“KenDriCk iSn’T PoLiTicAL”

Irony this sounds like someone that dont really have a good grasp of politics Rt @ShintaroKago
Most kendrick fans least fav heart of his btw
“KenDriCk iSn’T PoLiTicAL”

tbf this was almost 10 years ago lol
boy this disingenuous as f***
it really isn’t lol
kendrick gets tossed under this conscious rap umbrella when he isn’t even that conscious compared to Digable Planets or even a Deltron 3030
“KenDriCk iSn’T PoLiTicAL”

LOL this the most boilerplate political statement though man. you really think Kendrick believes these lines to this degree

You realize you’re contradicting yourself in these 2 paragraphs right

u keep hinging on this "words alone" thing as if a free palestine tweet is all that's being asked for or that's all he's can do. hang that 1 up pls
again, no one is surprised kendrick's taken the route he's taken. it's simply disappointing. that's all. pac also said there's no loud mouth 30 year old niggas and kendrick rushed to prove him right lol

White people and blacks that discovered they were black during college heard “democrips and rebloodicans” and thought YO KENDRICK THE MOST WOKE NIGGA EVER.
it also kills me because i see people on here say Lupe raps circles around Kendrick lyrically one moment, but then when it’s time to s*** on him in a vacuum now he’s overly conceptual and intellectual (allegedly so much he gets accused of unlistenability/being scaring-the-hoes core) to the point where he’s expected to comment on every single social issue (whether that’s right or wrong is whatever to me)

they hate on lupe because they are morons and dont actually appreciate hip hop or rap

genuinely lol . Nu Black MUSIC
Did Bob Marley stop a war on stage yes or no?
Simple yes or no question.
ah so this is about being right? i see
also.. notice i'm not f***in chinese spy
im not obligated to answer for false claims i never made, tf
thats part of why not like us was so successful.
Because some dumbasses genuinely took it as a pro black anthem and in some ways a political anthem.
people acting like this is the same as telling somebody to vote when we're talking about people who think God said its okay for them to erase a whole race of people off the planet
LOL this the most boilerplate political statement though man. you really think Kendrick believes these lines to this degree
Bruh the Super Bowl performance was a US flag being split
genuinely lol . Nu Black MUSIC
Like the reasons tpab meant so much to me as a weird artsy jazz kid battling trauma/guilt had nothing to do with politics man lol.
