Obviously fake, but if it was real then


Waaaaayyy too fukkin long


"i" being on the album

I have more faith in Kendrick than this

 

[Not Crodie]

 

[be back in a bit]

Dr. Dre always looking like a superhero lol.

 

[Wild self]

I guarantee that if Kendrick keeps dropping music like this... his career won't stay on the upward trajectory it has been.

That's the first thing that came to my mind even when I first saw that "Untitled" performance.

Then I thought it again when I read a recent article on his strong Christian faith...

The powers that be in the music industry will not let him get too big... because their primary aim is to spread negativity through music and the media.

You'll notice that the majority of post 2000 music (especially pop, what's left of R&B and hip hop) rarely has an empowering message... it mostly pushes sex, drugs, murder, hate, self-worship and materialism.

We've seen it happen before... watch, it will happen again.

I bet you that with the failure and the flops of many heavily-promoted artists in recent times, they might as well give positivity a shot because the music industry is a sinking ship.

 

[Flav]

Im just now hearing this song...



That boy killed that song!





Hands up, Dont shoot!




Pass the strap ima about to kill this nikka he stepped on my new shoes!




Black lives matter





I seen that Facebook post nikka you dead when i see you






I love my black people


Ice Cube said the same thing on his song US

 

[JMurder]

nikkas really don't fukk with "i" tho?

 

[JMurder]

Why, though? The whole context of the song is resisting anti-Blackness. People should be willing to address the complexities of anti-Blackness as it appears in our community, too. It's not like he made an entire song out of that one line, which would have been too much, but we can't pretend it's not part of the larger picture, either.

Too many people give rappers a pass for talking about shooting other Black folks and enslaving them with drugs, but then turning around and doing songs about Trayvon or Eric Garner as if they're social activists for us at the same time. That behavior is hypocritical at the end of the day, no matter how you look at it. A Black man getting shot by gangbangers and by police might have different causes, but at the end of the day a murdered Black man is a murdered Black man, and there are too many murdered Black men. Systemic racism of the police might be worse, but both problems will need to be addressed before our communities can thrive. I think people are missing that doing two contradictory things that make you a hypocrite does NOT mean those two things have moral or any other kind of complete equivalence.

Listen to Willie Hutch's Brothers Gonna Work It Out for another example of a classic that calls out pimps, drug dealers, and police at the same time. And that's from The Mack- no c00ning involved there.
