Ay bro, might not be that big of a deal to u, but i wanted to n been meaning to apologize the way i came at your thread about the kanue thread n post about sampling rights/money a week or whatever back.
I was already heated that day, n me being a producer & engineer myself that is also working on my own project amplified that anger when i came across the thread, cuz i go up to bat for producers n engineers a lot due to how the industry f***s us/them around a lot, especially engineers.
I still believe most of what i said, but i didnt mean to come across that hostile nor ignore completely your point/perspective.
N why i just left the thread altogether after i realized/felt i was "doing too much" or getting too personal.
I undestand where u were coming from especially from the perspective as a start up artist, even if i disagree overall.
Wow, is this album causing a sea change where we’re all expressing ourselves in a more honest way? 😂 It’s very unexpected to see you even reflect on that moment. Honestly, I feel embarrassed because I wrote something that I don’t feel like I communicated well. I tried to make a big umbrella statement to get a bar off. But big umbrella statements lack nuance sometimes. I just wanted to express my frustration with the idea of… I sample Etta James… And I flip it into something totally different. Something I love with all my heart. And it doesn’t feel to me like I stole it. It feels like I’m stacking meaning on top of meaning. Like making a collage. And then someone comes and tells me I can’t share this beautiful piece of art with people. That idea makes me sad. So I’m just going to release the sampled songs anyway. If there was a price I’d do everything I could to pay the price. Cause I really just want to put the art first at the end of the day. I’m ignorant in a lot of ways on a lot of things. You’re good, man.
Him doing that is exactly why he never comes across as preachy
Exactly
Listening to this and saying Kendrick is anti nuance or thinks his views are superior to anyone elses is completely missing the mark as a listener imo
Imagine getting caught cheating and the first excuse you give her is “I think I might be racist.”.
Who was the poster in here who broke down the big steppers as the people stepping around sensitive topics? Breakdown hittin more and more on my second listen
im starting to wonder if difference in views over some of these topics is a reason why kendrick left TDE. hate to speculate but def a lot of old school mentalities over there. They did keep Rashad though, but that would be a lawsuit if they dropped him probably.

have a feeling Kendricks views def played a part in him leaving TDE and also prob cause he wanted to start his own thing
Yeah. Kendrick did mention the Noname situation.
Damn near same thing I said.. b**** mind yo business and stay in yo place.
Time for them both to take part in the year of return and come home
No cap, I been planning a Madlib collab album called MAD (My African Dream/Make Africa Decent)
