Bompton : Noisey visits Kendrick Lamar in Compton

[Insensitive]

You're thinking of PBS.

Which no one watches.

Nah, I'm talking more about these Hip-Hop min-docs that can depict
Hip-Hop in a way that's very 2-dimensional.
People will cover a given city or scene but when they do, it might be just one style
of Hip-Hop. For example someone might do coverage of "The Chi" but their coverage
begins and ends at drill music so a mikkey halsted or vakill won't get a look.
Or they might cover N.Y. and only check out Desiigner or Asap Rocky and a Joey BadA$$ or
Skyzoo will get looked over.

I didn't say that's the case with (all of) Noisey's mini docs or even the case with the one
this thread is on but as recently as January I was watching season 1 of a show that came out
in 2015 which covered Chicago and it's Hip-Hop scene. Sure enough there was much talk about
"the hood", allusions to gun violence and an over representation of Drill Rap artists (as in
they were the only ones covered...). Of course they helped to present a balanced, human view
of the artists in the scene (Sasha Gohard, King Louie etc.) but how that part of the episode
was advertised prior to them actually showing the segment you'd think they were about to be in
the middle of a shootout or something.

I absolutely detest this fraud. How do you dudes from the hood buy into this? This is absurd.

Vice's mission is to exotify and hyper-sensationalize either non-whiteness, or poverty and the environment around it into bizarre otherworldly, nat geo safari expeditions. Like animals. The subjects in these videos are zoo animals, and the same ironic Cacs in glasses walking around narrating like they trekking in alien territory, the colonists.

fukk them.

Damn lol

That is exactly what I was gonna say

 

[diggy]

"I can hit the gate!"

Just saw that part and NOW I get it and Im dying

 

[Maschine_Man]

Vice makes some dope shyt...y'all need to watch more of their docs.

Thats the exact feel I got the moment I saw that white cac

 

[GoldenGlove]

well Top Dawg and Jay Rock are from Bounty Hunters Watts

but waiting for all the morons with the 'but but kendrick makes music for cacs and gets no love in the streets' comments

Nothin' but cacs at his shows tho

 

[big bun]

Nothin' but cacs at his shows tho

There's nothing but "CACS" at all big venue shows for the most part no matter the rapper. They're the only ones who can (or are willing to) pay the prices for the tickets. Same with pro sports games. This ain't nothing new and it's funny to see people bashing Kendrick for it to fit their agenda. You think Public Enemy and NWA concerts back in the day were full of black folks? Let me answer that for you...hell no.
