Foolishness! This won't be enough to hurt his career or even make a dent in it and with the status he has I doubt he would do any interviews this time around so they are wasting their time. It's stances like this that make people dislike their community as well. I mean Kendrick chose to speak on growth and understanding of the lgbt community, he didn't bash anyone, or make fun of lgbt people and he never said he was an expert or well researched on their communities politics but it's clear his intent was pure. He chose to speak on the real experience of having an lgbt family member and learning to accept them for their difference despite potentially alienating his real-nikka or gay hating fans who may not be so liberal. He even touched on how sometimes lgbt tendencies can have a genetic component that seems to go from family members of one generation to another.
He ends the song by pushing home the point that the F-word is wrong and yet still they miss that. He is using this piece to bring up the conversation as art is to be discussed but they choose to be overly sensitive here and this is why many people don't like them. It's like even mentioning them in anyway is a problem and that's unfair especially when you fight to be included and accepted. You can't have it both ways.
I think he chose Kodak deliberately to kinda show redemption and that people aren't perfect or at least to get people talking and thinking about the conversation. Controversy sells.I can’t accept this when Kodak has shown no remorse for what he’s done, on the album or in the past. It comes off as a weird contradiction to buildup to a climax about sexual molestation and rape of our women AND men, after having a literal rapist help narrate the album.
The question for me becomes when you say you don’t judge does that mean you don’t think anyone should pay consequences for anything? If your sister or family member is raped? I get the forgiveness factor, but do you think the rapist should go to jail? Be ostracized? Anything? That’s my question and concern about this.
