The Shart Fart V

if this was ktt1 this would've had 20 pages by now lmfao no one fr cares

True but like I said,his whole flow/delivery gives off a vibe like he’s delivering message(which he is)it’s obvious Kendrick doesn’t see himself as just a rapping entertainer nowadays or else he’d be dropping music left and right. He doesn’t care about the climate of rap,or how people rate him every other day,I think he cares about when he drops and how people will feel about a complete body of work,not just how they’ll feel at that moment.

There’s is no competition,so when Kendrick drops,he has something to say.

I’m not saying that’s not gonna happen, but the message isn’t going to stick because people just don’t care today to listen that deeply and consume art in such a way. They are gonna hear a nice beat, catch a bar here or there, and come back to the songs they like for talking points.

As it should be

We only care when it validates us

Why the F*** is he calling him Lamar?

I can’t be the only one annoyed by that while reading this.

tbf they been putting me on to great rock music this year
stay clear of their hip hop opinions still tho

Which is shameful,really sucks that peoples attention spans are so low. Kinda hopping the album is short and sweet but people are expecting a double disc(which could still be great)but like you said,consumers will pick what they want from the music and keep moving.

That’s normal when referencing someone after already saying their full name

For some reason when it comes with social commentary it becomes something nefarious to them

I think Kobe also fits in that tbh

We sometimes kinda forget it bc he's a global icon that in a way transcends race but it still applies to him

You can definitely go back to the sexual assault case and then you can look at how tragic and sudden his death was and say “he left us right before s*** really hit the fan”. Kobe’s death for the black community and people in general is a mix of tragedy and just disappointment cause it’s apparent there was much more life in him,much more.

Kendrick got everyone hypnotized

He just gets automatic praise before he even says a word

i feel like a lot of ppl aren't even bothering to talk about what he actually said in the song but just saying s*** like "the themes and lyrics are dense even by Kendrick's standards" or some vague s*** like "a complicated lineage of Blackness and the pressures of celebrity"

which is fine, you don't need to be focused on lyrics like that necessarily, it's a song first and foremost -- but at the same time everyone's like HE'S DONE IT AGAIN, THE LYRICAL WORDSMITH, BEST OF THIS GENERATION

so what did he actually say taht was so harD?

Here's an example: the double entendre with Nipsey's killers and Jussie's nigerians at play in the line "Make amends, then find a nigga with the same skin to do it"

not some super esoteric polysyllable s***, but a good solid easily understandable line

instead p4k focuses on Jussie's face over... "The streets got me f***ed up" wtf?

congrats on reading your first article ever

Steppers gon step

Lmao everyone gonna attack you for this obvious joke

Very true

With Kobe specifically i don't necessarily it's that he hurt the culture with any of his actions, but he was still for a long time misunderstood by his own community bc for a long time he grew up in Italy, feeling so socially alienated there turned him into a loner and was always kind of an outsider in his team despite how good he was for a long time in his younger years before shaq left

Also him and his parents Basically parting ways all the way up until his passing because he didn't marry a black woman

That's what happens when people try to get their takes off before somebody else gets the chance to say the same thing lol

who really give a damn about pitchfork

Yep,all those faces in the video highlight misunderstood black individuals,some of them claim to fight for the black culture but ends up leaving the culture confused at their true intent everytime(Ye)some have stained their legacies (Smollet,OJ,Will)and some left here too soon ,had their flaws but they also had a mission only they could complete(Nipsey,Kobe).

Everyone of those peoples triumphs and shortcomings are apart of black culture. And Kendrick and every black person living has to live with these peoples shortcomings way more then there triumphs cause in the end,that’s our culture. The individual triumphs but we suffer as a whole everytime we spread ignorance,negativity and pain.
