Made it to where,being finally exposed?i think we can take these latest Kendrick threads as a sign that dude has finally made it
Best rapper in the game (no features, no promo, pro-black)
Tfied to tell yall these conscience rappers be out for a money grab same as commercial rappers...Yall refuse to hold them responsible because "Bu bu but they talk about it in they music".....Yeah of course,they know they demographic and who they can sell records too...dont mean they really mean what they spittin,not sure why conscience music is never seen as "just entertainment" when all the rapper does is talk about issues on a damn song.
With that said,Kendrick is just on the watch list....He's definitly not the only one not reppin right....But this aint what puts him on the watch list for me....its just one interview....Some days you feel like hanging out in The Locker Room/Just Buggin Out section....somedays you might wanna be in The Root section
...Maybe today was just a day he mentally didnt feel like getting into a deep debate....its definitly red flags with this nikka though
...If its all entertainment thats cool to,but let it be known so nikkas can stop giving you extra credit points for being "conscience" when u not.
Even if you right, it just means that these negative and self centered rappers like Future can do anything without consequence, buy Kendrick gets looked at under a microscope.
Comes with the territory.

J Cole spoke out against social issues last year, but people gave him hell for it.
It it wasn't for Cole and Kendrick, You would swear that Black America is having a big ass party in 2015 if you just listened to the radio. Black music, at one time, used to reflect the black conditions. Now, most of these trap and party rappers don't even mention the likes of Eric Garner or Michael Brown in their songs. It reached the point where "the streets" are not for black consciousness best interests.![]()
This premise is bizarre.
Don't understand... you agree or not?
Gangsta rappers have plenty of consequence,constantly having they authenticity questioned,on line and in the streets,constantly being discredited for not having enough substance,even cats laughing and mocking them being jailed and murdered
....Pretty sure that's enough consequence,also cant forget the fact they get discredited just for NOT being conscience rappers,even if they never tried to come off like they were....folks made Drake and Future don't talk about social issues like Kendrick and J Cole
Conscience rappers shouldn't be above criticism,but in the minds of some people they are just because they conscience......If you gon get that kinda teflon jacket in hiphop,its only right you be authentic too right?Conscience rappers get treated with kid gloves and get extra praise....Maybe they deserve that when its real,but when its just a money grab?
Not really, is your issue balance or do you feel certain artist's music isn't reflective of the time?
