Twitter Gets At Kendrick Lamar: "nikka Whole Discography Is Exploiting Black Plight But He's Quiet"

There are very few rappers that are as introspective as Drake. You dont have to rap about politics to be "deep." It's a spectrum.

Black on black crime is important and destructive although a subject for another day. It’s just the clout chasing motherfukkers who don’t really care about black people but rather just care about what white people are doing who think differently. Smh @ calling a man c00n for wanting brother to unite.
If you trolls were alive in the late 80s you’d be calling the anti-violence and pro-black movements of the 80s c00ns

You literally just described a huge portion (the main portion?) of art through all of history. You don't look to art to be direct and literal, that's what a SPEECH is for. Most artists when they express themselves aren't trying to preach to you like a literal nonfiction speech would, they're using other, indirect, poetic means to plant their message deeper in your consciousness in a different way. The whole point of art as a form is to have the listener USE THEIR BRAIN, as you say REACH INTO THEIR IMAGINATION, and work out the interpretation for themselves. Go elsewhere if you want shyt direct and literal and easy.
But talking like Kendrick gonna be some safe negro trying not to offend a white fan base is clown shyt.
Definitely non-offensive right there.

Yea it's as weak as I said it was. You posted all that just to confirm what I said.You literally just described a huge portion (the main portion?) of art through all of history.

I'll give it to em for picking the perfect time to sale that weak shyt. Lil Wayne was probably the biggest (black) rapper too spit slick pointless gibberish and get away with it. It became common place. Kendrick can come off as genius to those that believed in Wayne or other gibberish rappers he spawned.
If kendrick was competing in the late 80's early 90's when nikkas was really going in, his talking in circles, not really saying nothing ass would be exposed immediately.
You can't listen to nwa, Pac, krs, etc speak on cops then listen to kendrick's weak voiced, neutered "and we hate popo" bullshyt and still be impressed. You'd most likely laugh.
When you listen to unfiltered stern men speak their minds, give their perspective etc, it's easy to tell when you're listening to a white washed shook negro who wants to be viewed like THEM but is FAR from willing to sacrifice whitey's good graces. He knows, really going in will leave him opened up to a conversation he's too weak to have.
So he'll pretend as long as possible cause that's his angle. But he ain't jumping out there. And being artsy is cool, i just believe in calling it how it is. He does this cap shyt to front like he's different. It helps when he's compared to his peers whom totally make waaaaaay better music like drake. Or many others who can easily match him.

Most gangsta rappers and personalities rather discuss snitching on twitter than be about action.

Whenever I hear someone speaking on respectability politics as a rationale for the situation of blacks in America, I automatically assume they haven’t been educated enough or haven’t developed the critical thinking skills to see matters outside of a superficial lens. Given that Kendrick had tinged that rhetoric in some of his music, I’d rather he remain silent if that’s still his stance.

Always felt k dot was Lupe's career gone right. But Lupe definitely has a deeper understanding of issues & can well go into discussion about it (Personally would take him as the better rapper as well)
Bet he's actually doing something out there and doesn't ask for attention on it. Meanwhile all these self righteous media fauxtep fake woke slacktivists doing the most offering nothing but criticism as usual
It has nothing to with education. Kendrick is a celebrity and with that comes a degree of privilege and being sheltered that most of us don't have the luxury of.
No, he shouldn't stay silent. Everybody should speak. No one should remain silent, because by remaining silent, they can't be corrected or see fault in their logic. Even if he or anyone makes a statement that is insensitive, misinformed, or disagreeable, he can't correct what is wrong if he is silent because by remaining silent, no one is there to tell him "breh, you're wrong" or "look at it from this perspective".
How come threads like this don’t get bushed?

They don't need to be. What's up with all the censorship request?
