I’ve been seeing this a lot in the album rollout thread

Nerds learned a new word and won’t shut up

I want to press my like, yeah, I wanna press my
I want a green light, I wanna be like
I wanna press my line, yeah
I wanna take that ride, yeah
I'm gonna press my line
I want a green light, I wanna be like, I wanna press my—
Mama, dear, spare your feelings
I'm relivin' moments, peeling more residual
(I can) buy the building, burn the building
Take your b****, rebuild the building just to f*** some more
(I can) justify my love for you
And touch the sky for God to stop, debating war
Put the p**** on a pedestal (Ayy)
Put the p**** on a high horse
That p**** to die for
That p**** to die for
Peter, piper, picked a pepper
So I could pick your brain and put your heart together
We depart the shady parts and party hard
The diamonds yours, the coupe forever
My best shots might shoot forever like (Brr)

u essentially just added to it

he hasnt dropped in a while so they gotta find something to talk about

idk because he fits into a lyrical category and hip hop heads like him but he’s radio popular too

People gotta find something on him.

or like he’s done multiple concept albums some people don’t care for all that

i don’t see how u couldn’t be amazed at his career and catalogue but that’s just me

Jealousy

overly dedicated was like a warm blanket for my impressionable and deeply insecure 14 year old ears

Don't call me black no more I'm an Israelite

pretentious the new n word stay woke

Why did he need to tell us that 💀

i honestly dont know

but i am sorry i have to do it

Kendrick seems like the type of guy to turn in a 10 page paper when the professor only asked for a 2 page paper. Some people think that's awesome, others not so much, idk

Kendrick himself isn't pretentious.

His fans just make him seem that way.

It’s less him but the marketing and glowing press behind him. It’s like calling Radiohead pretentious for that Pitchfork Kid A review. People actually started doing that. The internet often responds to how people talk about artists rather than the artists themselves.

Becsuse he isn't the typical negro they expect.

It's all apart of this ongoing campaign
denigrate anything black that isn't representative of the stereotypes they expect.

If Kendrick was out here doing the exact same s*** on albums but during his down time doing ignorant s*** and staying in the headlines...no one would call him that.
