Why did Kendrick play it safe with " We hate Po Po" line in Grammy performance?

[a murda]

Was he worried about backlash?

[TheRtist]

he wants the Pac love but not anything negative that comes along with it

they lied about him being unsigned, whose to say they are still not lying to us.

maybe him keeping it real is really fake

maybe the keys to Compton and all the other press accolades and stuff is just to make up for the lack of radio play

 

[B1G_controversy]

bc he's wack B

 

[Colilluminati]

I personally felt let down and I'm not even much of a fan outside of Section 80.

 

[The Villain]

he wasn't trying to wear the heat that comes with that

 

[a murda]

bc he's wack B

[The Ruler 09]

What did he change it to?

 

[Buggsy Mogues]

Coming from a Kendrick stan it was disappointing

 

[Aufheben]

dudes a clown. ya really expected him to represent like that?

every time i see his face and hear him talk i feel like i'm getting scammed. this nikka is fake deep personified

 

[TheRtist]

he wasn't trying to wear the heat that comes with that

what? the authentic hat?

 

[SHAQAVELLI]

CBS edited out about eight seconds. I can't say with certainty, but I thought it was at the "we hate po po..." line.

 

[Shadow King]

He ain't want no remnants of that Super Bowl heat Beyonce caught...cause not only would it have been a much bigger deal, he ain't Beyonce

Coming from a Kendrick stan it was disappointing

Kendrick wants to be just pro-black and "conscious" enough but still wants to be safe enough and get the love from white media and do songs with taylor swift.

Blacker the berry is a perfect example its all fukk cacs for most of the song but he still throws in the "what about black on black crime?" at the end.
