yes but also it enrages me that so many people think it's just a petty beef when the truth is that kendrick has been using the beef to speak on more important things than just drake
it's about the industry taking revolutionary black art and comodifying it. Drake is the epitome of that. there's a lot more facets to it but that's been the main thesis since the beginning
Well.. the refrain of the song is "They not like us", which right there should tell you that he's talking about more than just one pedophile in a position of power even if that is his focus for starters.
You’re spending your time on the internet telling strangers why you don’t care about people the strangers are talking about. You care 😆 Self-control is a fruit of the spirit✌🏾
I 100000% support ending billionaires full stop
Not only does it f*** with their character development and make them lazy, but it actually causes psychiatric problems. There's research into it
The best criticism I heard about Drake came from Josh Johnson. Proof that he’s not really had the hardships of Black rappers who grew up in the US (while benefiting from the rep), is that, as Canadian, he had healthcare!😂
Well that disappointed. I wanted to read an essay! Kendrick is a poetic genius. He isn’t all about fame. You rarely see him outside his home and work. My favourite of his is ‘money trees’ but he doesn’t perform it anymore. Shame.
Hey, a baiter just replied to your comment trying to farm engagement. All of their posts are about hating on Kendrick. Don't reply to them, just block and move on.
I am definitely down for a 537 part explanation of this! As an older white music lover, I can recognize Kendrick as a master of his craft even if I can’t follow the lyrics, but I’d love to know more about the context and layered meaning
And 👏 for making an effort to learn more. So many folks just want to call him “untalented” but that’s far from the case. I’ve been a fan since the beginning but even I learned some nuances to his storytelling (and I’m an older white music lover too.)
I first paid attention with To Pimp A Butterfly, particularly “Alright”- the desperation in the verses and the minor chords in the chorus comes across to me as far from reassuring- it’s almost more of a question: Are we gonna be alright?
His talent is undeniable, dude has a Pulitzer for chrissake
As another middle aged wyt fan, I suggest Dr. Skye's Record Review and/or Knox Hill as the most accessible places to start breaking down the bars and understanding things as an outsider.
every post like this is from someone trying to look progressive but hasn't even a toe in black culture. like... ask that black friend you brag about to prove you arent racist what the deal is.
1. Performative in everything he claims to stand for
2. Deeply insecure about his past, leading to him trying to erase all traces of it through his current actions
3. Perfectly willing to fuck over close companions for his own benefit

He’s genuinely as brilliant as Shakespeare.

Being taken care of by the state makes you weak is what liberals tell me
Not only does it f*** with their character development and make them lazy, but it actually causes psychiatric problems. There's research into it
I actually care about their well being🤭
Kendrick hater in replies here.

idk getting tired of white ignorance mb
He even says, “I could show you this on loop and you still wouldn’t get it” for all the weirdos still complaining.
What I find most hilarious is that people would probably be more angry than they are if they did actually get it.

If you take Drake as being
1. Performative in everything he claims to stand for
2. Deeply insecure about his past, leading to him trying to erase all traces of it through his current actions
3. Perfectly willing to fuck over close companions for his own benefit
It holds up 😭
What’s wrong with America…is it everyone else?
