If they were actually at protests before, why weren't other random photographers posting them before the tweet? Hundreds of people at a protest, surely one of them would sneak a pic and post it

that’s not her point. not even a tweet showcases how little they do

so because the pics of them at protests came out after the diss now your gonna assume they were never going?
the glaze is insane
U said they went AWOL when s*** went down. But thats not true. They werent AWOL, and in the past they werent when s*** was going down. Him mentioning important figures to convey a message does not change literally anything in here, ive adressed the benefit thing.
your mind wont change, your stuck in a narrative and are now playing argument games where you and I know you are purposely muddying the waters. More streams for a protest song after an event doesnt make kendrick more obligated to do anything.
while he WAS doing s*** he just wasnt public about it for a bit.

"in the time period i think you shouldve" aswell

Who gives a f***

They were at a protest which makes her wrong lol

All this other s*** is fan fiction detective work that can’t be proven one way or the other. But even if we go down that rabbit hole, Lmaoo two of the three biggest rappers of the past decade were harassing random photographers to post pics of them at a protest to respond to reads noname? That’s potentially a bigger shaderoom type story than no names initial call out. Think Nigga!

dog he was masked up and barely recognizeable your literally drawing up a conspiracy theory to prove that he wasnt involved, what is the point LMAOO

How little they do what, community stuff?

😭😭😭🤣

IN A CROWD OF LIKE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE

You can google their charity work and programs.

Since they’re doing so little, lemme ask you what you’re doing. And be honest.

When was the last time you pulled up to a soup kitchen, animal shelter, tutored some kids for free, or bought some Christmas toys for needy kids

idk if ppl were even thhinking for kendrick enough to look for him or think hes in a crowd before the noname s*** the man had a mask sunglasses and a garb on in the middle of a crowd

Because it doesn't

Artists in the past couldn't directly share their beliefs through the internet

Brah I can’t respond to all the @s but sadly yes in our culture a tweet is actually kinda significant and it’s sad when artists whose whole aesthetic is black power (can we agree on that? we should because that’s a good thing, credit to them) don’t say anything publicly in the wake of police murders. We gonna have to agree to disagree on the important of celebrities speaking out on issues. If you’re privileged with an audience of millions to billions, millions of dollars, etc., you have a responsibility IMO to speak on s*** that matters. Same way it’s a god damned shame how many artists didn’t say s*** about Palestine. Just tryna make a buck and dip. Blending into a crowd anonymously doesn’t have 1% of the effect that a single tweet from these guys does on the many folks who sadly look to celebrities for everything because we live in a twisted celeb-obsessed culture. And silence always goes in favor of the oppressor.

“you’re not a real activist because you don’t tweet”

man what the f*** lmfao

It's simple logic Those pictures are the only proof we have, dated and everything. You're believing a hypothetical that you have no evidence of. And you say I'm glazing???

If they weren't AWOL on George Floyd, what did they do before the tweet?

Foh with muddying the waters. I feel like I'm being clear and actually supporting what I'm saying. You're just unwilling to consider a different viewpoint about some rappers because you like their music

Everyone that posted that black screen in 2020 is now an activist and has done more for that black community according to these guys

And ?

You only have to use the internet in order to speak about issues ?

If you considered old music validity in doing so then there's literally no reason to not consider modern music validity in being able to do the same like what lol

You're definitely over 40 if you think thats what anyones saying

Also yes his music does count, any conscious rapper doing his numbers esp at his depth was p unheard of part of why hes considered brilliant
Suddenly art is worthless? It's not like kendrick is even a traditional conscious rapper, his projects are mostly about his personal experiences, especially his last one at this point, and building on that going in depth
he didnt succeed because of it necessarily his sucess was in spite of it, theres a reason him and cole were the only ones at that level talking like that. Alright wasnt a strategic ploy to make money off the movement, it was part of a narrative about how he deals with fame and survivors guilt, cmon dawg.

which ironically was replacing actual on the ground reports with just pages of black

Do you think anyone that follows Cole and Kendrick on socials wasn’t aware of the George Floyd killing?

They were at a protest after her tweet

Nobody's saying they asked for the pictures. You're missing the point. In fact, that just makes it more likely that those pictures were taken the first time they went to one of those protests. If random people are taking pictures of them at a protest, why wasn't it done before?
