Thats what youre implying by saying that an artist today speaking thru their music isn’t the same as an artist back then doing it because artists today have the internet

Again. Noname herself doesn't even agree with that take she had anymore. So why do ya lol

dawg this theorizing to try to convince yourself kendrick wasnt doing s*** is so bonkers idek if i should acknowledge it
we dont need pictures and hard evidence of what they were doing the f*** what type of standard is this should kendrick have posted selfies from the protests running from tear gas throughout his entire time protesting??

I just dont appreciate you f***ing leeches that direct actual issues and things people live through, into a narrative to s*** on other black men who are doing way more than anyone else in the industry historically over very insignificant s***, I haven't mentioned the quality of his music once I don't even like half J cole discography. Your discrediting important voices because of a small period in time u dont think they did enough, and even many people in this thread discrediting their entire career as cynical. When these were the ONLY people even in this realm of content having sucess.

In your first sentence you say they only went bc (or went after) her tweet

In second paragraph you seem to be saying that they went before her tweet and pics only came out after the tweet

Your last sentence it just all devolves into a what if 2Pac didn’t get shot type of question

It has nothing to do with awareness man
I assure you millions of people that follow both of them didn’t think Chauvin was in the wrong.
Rap fan base is majority white, never forget that

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

You only know this because of the pictures we actually got

So suddenly he's recognizable in a mask at the protest he goes to after the Noname tweet but he definitely was at other protests before, just nobody recognized him those times

Folks were like ‘Kendrick should have tweeted!’, ‘he only cares about brand deals!’, ‘he only showed up after the Noname tweet!’
Meanwhile he been a voice for years lol
.
Also note the timing of this tweet and the amount of likes it got too. Good to see that people were awake and realised how important his voice actually was. He really the goat

an entire damn near 2 weeks after the fact in an uncrowded area they got a pic of him when he took his glasses off therefore its an elaborate ploy to help his image ok bro

Or that was the first protest he went to?

You're so lost man

@op

So Kendrick and Cole tweeting would’ve changed their minds? Come on now lol.

Or maybe he just wasnt being photographed in the others? whats the point in cynically assuming this they have both spoken on how they were involved at the time why assume the opposite? you clearly have a narrative you want to paint. Funny how you didnt adress the misdirection part of what i said

Read it again, I'm not saying they went before the tweet If there actually were protests they went to before, you niggas have no logical explanation for why we just happened to get pictures of them at a protest for the first time days after her tweet

Apparently a 140 character tweet would be better than this and all the other awareness he brings

u have 0 logical explanation for why he couldnt have just not been photographed before it
and it wasnt days, it was damn near 2 weeks

I don’t think anyone saying that they went before or after her tweets there’s no way to know

But whether they did or didn’t that really doesn’t change anything

The fact is they went and she was wrong about them just not caring. Anything else is cope to not just say she was outta f***in line lol

I know he cant read this but somebody tell him im proud of him i always told him there was no need to go schizo on me like that

and now we use humor and emojis to pretend that’s not what you were saying without actually explaining what you were saying lol

what else does “artists of the past didn’t have the internet” in response to “j Cole uses his music to speak on issues like artists of the past” mean lmao

"They're random photographers, not associated with Kendrick or J Cole!" is one of the points yall raised. At a protest with hundreds of people, I have a hard time believing that it didn't happen before the tweet. But suddenly it happens after

And it was like 10 days nigga, JFC 2 weeks still 14 days anyway, not a long time

Man you gotta at least shake those f***ers out of the deck if it doesn’t. I’m not going to sit there and take cash and likes from a bunch of Chauvin apologists, imma put it in their face that it’s f*** that pig 4L and they’ll either think about that or unfollow and I’m aight with either one. Silence goes in favor of the oppressor - always. That’s fact. Tweets are f***in stupid but so is celebrity in the first place. If you’re gonna live that life, use it to the max man.

Noname is an SJW who bullied Kendrick and Cole by calling them "frauds" because they didn't tweet enough

like is it not possible that kendrick just felt a bit weird taking pics in the heat of the protest and people were just caught up in the crowd when he was unrecognizeable? S*** was pure chaos for a lil bit
do u think he purposely just went there all masked up expecting pictures for the PR? He just went to a protest cuz noname said he wasnt tweeting? What, did he hire the people who wanted pics too? why was he deadass alone in all black? Do u think in a sea of people u would recognize this as kendrick lamar? your scenario begs a whole lot of questions
hes p clearly said he was involved whats with these cynical assumptions

also only one pic was a photographer the rest are deadass fans taking selfies with him
