I appreciate Kendrick Lamar not reminding us constantly of his gang affiliations.

I'm under the impression he's affiliated, but not necessarily full fledged, am I right? Regardless, it's nice hearing a young dude as talented as he is and all the while not relying on some false bravado image. Dude's just being himself.


Ya many people would just use that to portray themselves as bangaz

But he doesnt abuse and use the background of his to make himself look like someone he's not

Respect to da homie Kendrick :obama:

On the good kid Pharrell song, he said he wasn't affiliated; just targeted because of his neighborhood. :yeshrug:

Well it's nice to see folks being able to get by in the rap game being themselves. As much as I think Drake sucks, at least he's being himself. Same goes for Kendrick for not trying to portay himself as this super-thug.

What would you guys say about SchoolBoy Q though? I like him as a gangsta rapper that has some kind of charisma, can spit and so on. Is he really about that life (Or was or whatever?)

How Ironic is this thread...

Somebody just posted a song called "Murda" ft Kendrick and two unknown rappers...

Song was alright though...Great beat...

He's clearly from a Piru hood. Didn't bang, but I'm sure has friends/fam affiliated and growing up in that neighborhood means you can get lumped in by outsiders.

He doesn't bang so he's not going to act like he does.

Seems like all of them were affliated in some way or at least know people that bang. Seems like if you leave the house at all and actually do shyt you will be somewhat apart of it or see it in action over there.
