So when we’re informed that politics is off the menu as a topic of conversation before sitting down to chat with Kendrick, it’s hard not to feel short-changed. Swedish journalist Mats Nileskär – the guy whose Tupac interview Kendrick samples at the end of the record – persuasively suggested that these songs double as a soundtrack to an emerging civil rights movement in the US. Surely their author would have a word to say about that?
“No politics!” barks Kendrick’s manager, who’s been lurking silently in the background throughout our interview, when I try and smuggle a question in under the table. “Kendrick’s here to promote his album.”
“But surely the album is political!” I sputter indignantly. “Isn’t it relevant to…”
“No politics,” the manager replies, with an air of finality.
Concerts are long as fukk. You think you can turn up to that ignant shyt for hours and still stay for the final act or two?
