Did we declare K.Dots TPAB a "Pro Black" album or was it assigned for us?

I never said NWA on the whole was pro-black. They had some pro-black influences that were Black Panther- like in such songs like "F The Police".



Well yes, he took it steps further by getting away from the mindless aspects that were in NWA.



"pro black elements" is all that's needed though to send/spread the message




see above

F The Police what created from the mentality of just a cat in the hood who is tired of the Cops messing with him. That situation is the awareness, while becoming a panther is the PRO BLACKNESS as it is the steps being taken to protect ones self. F The Police just brings awareness to what cops do to people.

Awareness is fine but if you give it to the unlearned/unaware they will just look at you like "now what". That is when "Pro Black" comes in which says "Hey I know you have this issue, well this is who/what is causing it, and this is how you fix it."

F The Police is the equivalent of making a song about being Sad for people being lynched. It is bringing awareness to an issue but there is nothing Pro Black about acknowledging you are being oppressed UNLESS in the same instance you are presenting what you will do to end your oppression.

TPAB speaks nothing about how to end ones struggles, it only acknowledges the said struggles.

Because their dreams of thinking they are actually "fighting the power" by listening to this safe music and tweet debating Racist Troll accounts are being shattered.

The album is more popular with black people than anything that X Clan did. A better example would be Ice Cube. But it's just a different time & climate even though a lot of shyt hasn't changed a lot has.

I don't think it's fair to compare it to those songs or albums. There's more dissension in our community now than ever. I swear, in my 30+ years, I've never seen black people bicker so constantly on a path to travel. There are so many schools of thought about what is good for us and you damn near have to choose sides because people don't respectfully disagree. Kendrick's music is a lot safer (dare I say). Because if he goes too far of the black left or black right he's going to get criticized like crazy.

But more than likely, he just set out to make an album that displayed his own feelings and heartaches, and this is how it came out. I don't think he thought he'd become the face of a revolution.

it is VERY FAIR. When you go out of your way to align yourself with Tupac,on multiple occasions,for attention,then you deserve to be contrasted to the og's by your own hands. He can't measure up and deserves the back lash.

Let's put this in perspective.

2Chainz aligns himself with 2Pac.

It's meaningless. Kendrick just made an album, and people want it to be something it's not.

At the end of the day Kenny is "safe". It bleeds into everything he does. He's pretty much Drake "safe".

He also plays it safe. Maybe because of his stature. He not going to make Kanye statements and survive. He's too big to say some of the stuff Common has said throughout the years and escape huge criticism. But he's not built like that anyway. HE is safe. His views are safe. Sure he wants to show love for us in his music but he's just safe. His personality is not flagrant enough.

K dot isnt proclaiming anything, the MEDIA is proclaiming him as something he isnt even aiming for same way the MEDIA assigned BLM as the "leader of black people".

Although THEY ARE doing that too,he's as guilty as I'm saying he is.
"2pac came to me in a dream"
"i was going to name my album TUPAC.
Splicing old 2pac interview to pretend 2pac's talking to HIM.
His fake brenda's gotta baby songs.
He's OBVIOUSLY going tooth and nail to align his name with pac's.
Now i understand being inspired,but when you go out your way over and over to do this,but you dont even TRY to show the same fire musically,the emphasis on TRY.
And you cant even speak on things you previously said,when you get in an interview,then why in god's green earth are you acting like you're a second coming of pac when truthfully you're just a shook one whom wants that type of image,without the backlash that comes with it.

Made references of him being like Pac in songs. "I'm TuPac without the nose ring" is the one I'm reminded of off the top. There are more.

I need more than that if your going to compare that to all kendrick has done.
So far that just sounds like slick talk
