I made this in the locker room as well but the discussion there just won't where it needs to be so I want to have the discussion here as well.

Let's put it all on the table


What do you people specifically like about Kendrick Lamar other than "other people like him?"

I've been following this woman, Lina Iris Viktor, on IG for a while now, she is currently in the midst of a lawsuit against KL and SZA for this exact video. Apparently they had reached out to her multiple time for her to include her work in the vid and she repeatedly denied and then they used pretty much her artistic likeness in the vid, in this thread the "ancestral gallery."

Feel like it was a pretty good analysis even if it isn’t 100% correct.
Love all of the thought and effort put into the video.

Indian Slave Trade > Atlantic Slave trade

Maybe one day the so called black brehs will look into that and stop letting cacs rewrite history so they can run away with land they stole...

That's dope as hell, whether it was the real intent or not. A co-worker and I had our own interpretations, but nowhere near that level of depth and clarity.
