What a retarded line
@SpacelySprockets

Everything aint black and white (no pun)... Its always a gray area. Erybody aint stacked with the same deck of cards and smarts... Its not a even playin field. Real live goon and street nikkas wont even bat a eye to the fukked up trap and cycle they been in and continually contribute to without blatant, shock value lines like this

I didn't even diss the song. It's not bad but nowadays he's always using that raspy voice...just facts :yeshrug:

you gotta look at the overall music and context...him going this hard is suppose to show his pain and passion for a topic like this....you cannot do this track any other way fam...u just cant...

just listen to the beat and the buju sample...all I wanna do is go wild right now...

I get it, I just don't like the message it represents. I understand what he's trying to say

I dont agree with the victim blaming Kendrick seems to be on with what about what black folks do to each other, but to keep it one hundred, a lot of older black folks feel that exact same way.

I just chop it up as kdots opinion. He clearly loves his people and the music is dope. Yall getting caught up in the little shyt...

I get that but that voice is like nails on a chalkboard to me. I can respect the passion he has for the topic tho. It gets you hyped tho? :leon:

those last few bars are soo poweerful
"Its funny how zulu and Xhosa might go to war
Two tribal armies that want to build and destroy
Remind me of these compton Crip gangs that live next door
Beefin with Pirus only death settle the score
So don't matter how much I say I like to preach with the Panthers
Or tell Georgia State Marcus Garvy got all the answers
Or try to celebrate February like its my b-day
Or eat watermelon, chicken and kool-aid on weekdays
Or jump high enough to get Michael Jordan endorsements
Or watch BET cuz urban support is important
So why did I weep when Trayvon Martin was in the street
When gangbanging make me kill a nikka blacker than me?
Hypocrite!"

:wow: :mjcry: :damn: :sadbron: :lawd: :ohlawd: :mjcry:
