TDE still acting like anyone but Kendrick relevant in that camp 
Peter Parker
Superstar
Interviewers stay disrespecting the rest of TDE whenever Kendrick is brought up in an interview
it's been on since XXL did that "Kendrick Lamar and Black Hippy" cover.

I think Q's comment about "my homie died the other day" stuck out the most. Maybe that's actually how he views it. It may be an industry speak thing, to keep the money coming and not shaking the boat too much. Also as someone that lives in the south sometimes other people really don't know how different it is here. I think people that live in more progressive areas like NY or CA, especially if they haven't lived in the south or spent time there before, might not realize how backwards it is by comparison.
This Charleston shooting is definitely not "just another shooting" or a "normal occurrence." Mass shootings are starting to become more normal, but this one was definitely motivated by racism and wasn't just a lone gunmen that lost his marbles.
To a lot of us North Carolinians, South Carolina might as well be another country in a lot of ways. You can't really walk around Charleston without bumping into monuments for the confederacy and streets named after confederate generals at every turn. NC has had a lot of setbacks and backwards legislation in the past few years and we used to be sort of a good model for a southern state that was progressing and catching up with the times. Even still, SC is on another level.
Edit - The Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church is on is on 110 Calhoun St.
John C. Calhoun said on slavery, "I hold that in the present state of civilization, where two races of different origin, and distinguished by color, and other physical differences, as well as intellectual, are brought together, the relation now existing in the slaveholding States between the two, is, instead of an evil, a good–a positive good."
That's how serious it is in SC.

Isaiah Rashad is dope as hell and I'm waiting on that Jay Rock too my nikka.. Q's album had a couple of cuts I mess with.. souls album was garbage to me.. But mark my words Isaiah is on the come up
yeah, until this third round, Soul had a better track record than Kendrick, IMO. But I know it's because I have a deep leaning towards Soul's conspiracy theorist/new religion vibe.
It's really apples and oranges, though. individual TDE albums aren't meant to be compared, only contrasted.
Except Cilvia.
4:35- 6:05, act as if they haven't been warring.
Nothing they said was wrong. It ain't about whether or not "they" been warring, it's about propaganda that undoubtedly helped get to this point, on both sides of the fence. This isn't some issue that's been left alone to fester, it's been fed, by white supremacist rhetoric and images of black inferiority. The 1% don't give a fukk about ANY OF US, the sooner something like Charleston can finally set off what even looks like a "race war" where blacks become the aggressor the sooner they can roll out the tanks.
They are making a movie out of this shyt and getting ratings like crazy all while pushing the narrative and subconsciously influencing the masses with the agenda of the elite...trust...it wouldn't be allowed on that fukking TV if they weren't some sort of gain in it for "them".

i'm still riding with TDE, but i gotta admit, this label lost it's buzz. 2011-2013 was when they should've stuck.
Soul is less of a product than all of them...the least polish, but the most potential IMO. I'm not really that interested in Kendrick or Q, the other cats are aight but Soul's vibe is where I'm at in life.
I'm glad somebody else sees it. they've been pushing for a race war, but we're too pacified from dat work we got in the 70s and the division we were taught in the 90s to take the bait....
plus they're too busy trying to hide their hand about it. Poorly, at that.
