Has Kendrick Lamar become a complete Uncle Tom sellout?

[LunaticVillage415]

Kendrick Lamar > Every rapper from the bay, ever.

Shut your fake ass Italian accent having, dusty Pelle Pelle leather wearing, "yo, son word is bond son" saying, 5'4", living on the 50th floor of the projects, never been south of Philly, no car having NY ass up. You can't hide behind that Hank Hill avatar. Go keep worshiping 60 year old Hov who doesn't even know who you are and praying that midget Max B gets released from butt-pounding jail, which he never will.

Everybody seems to think Kendrick is mincing his words so as to avoid alienating his white fans or burning bridges...















But have any of you entertained the possibility that Kendrick might genuinely be a #newblack?





That his expressions are a reflection of how he really feels?

Respectability politics is old as fukk breh

 

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

pressure to conform to mainstream Middle America I assume. I dont know WHY HE CAVED TO THE PRESSURE though. J Cole didnt pander at all, he went full activist mode: protesting in Ferguson, protesting in NYC, making a song about Michael Brown and performing it on National TV, and then selling 300K+ records. He still has his massive majority-cac fanbase. So why does Kendrick feel like he has to be "politically correct"

He should've dropped another song like this! This was militant as hell

Maybe Taylor Swift saying she wants to be his friend gassed him up?Perhaps he tryna show her and her handlers that he is safe.

Not saying that he shouldn't expect to be asked those questions. Just saying that answering a question isn't the same as "all black people should agree with me, and I represent what all black people think"

But he is only doing all these interviews to talk about this shyt obviously. It's not like he has anything to promote at the moment. These people want to get his views on this shyt and he is more than happy to give it. He need to stay out of magazines and drop some music.

I'm not gonna call Kendrick a c00n but his comments really disappointed and shocked me. I understand the gist but still...it just doesn't gel with his music. This is the same dude who went on SNL and transformed the positive i song into the anti-cop anthem people wanted. Then followed it up with that great, conscious Colbert Report track. It just doesn't make sense...

How you gonna prep to release a jazzy funky left sounding album and talk shyt about black people? Doesn't he know he's setting himself up to fail?

 

[tweezy]

nah... the guy who dropped 2 of the best albums of the decade is still the same, hes still making black music (soul & funk & hip hop & jazz). Nothing has changed.

He mostly started to do the interviews after "i" dropped. That was the basis for the interviews, to promote his new single and to get people excited about his music again. I'm sure he knew he would be asked about them, but I don't think he was like "let me start this run of interviews so I can talk about Ferguson"

Nah, I'm not taking it hard it just annoys me when people want to make an issue of interracial dating. I support and show enthusiasm for black love but I also don't begrudge people who find love with other races.
