[Kenny West]

Are the artists you mentioned "gang bangers"?

How hard are you trying to miss the point breh

 

[kaldurahm]

Because he gave them the keys to run with it, whites love lines like this,


"see, Kendrick gets it, Black people are mad at the police when a thug gets killed but Black people kill each other all the time and don't say anything about it, that's hypocritical"

100% agree. this is why i think he needs to clarify before it gets misinturpreted farther.

Problem
What they rap about on the regular?

Literally the perfect example

They rap about the streets and the dope game

Trayvon wasn't a street nikka, or a dope dealer

so how is that relevant

when people enter the dope game they accept the risk

Italian gangstas killed other Italian gangstas

Russian gangsta kill other Russian gangstas

the question is why ARE BLACKS the only race associated with the criminal element as a whole

 

[Cynic]

Did this n1gga start talking about Zulu and Xhosa tribal wars ? :leonadis:


shout out to all my real africans out there:madiba:

 

[Not Crodie]

ice cube on the radio... just said it was the best song he heard this decade

 

[A1aaa]

i still got this shyt on repeat. every black boy and girl in america needs to hear the chorus... buju killed dat

 

[NahFam]

I think i explained my point well. With all due respect, what part are you confused with? I've clearly expressed my personal displeasure with gang violence. But to compare gang violence to Trayvon being killed isn't a fair comparison

Where was that comparison made? The only thing Kendrick said is youre a hypocrite for talkin about the police n such not valuing the lives of black ppl when u ur urself dont.

He did not compare the act of Trayvon getttin murdered by zimmerman to what gangbangers do.

White folks can blow our brains out because we kill ourselves , fukk this c00n and whoever loves him .

 

[gluvnast]

He specifically mentioned gang banging

if you choose to be a street nikka you accept the reality of death and prison

Travon martin lived in the suburbs and was gunned down for no reason

who is shedding tears for Trayvon and then going to kill each other, nobody is doing this

it's a dumb line

also how is a gang banger who's killed rival gang members who were either trying to kill them or killed on of their homes, a hypocrite to be mad about an innocent boy dying

it's dumb, you live by the gun you die by the gun, that's a choice bangers make, and they all end up dead or in jail

people weep because Trayvon DID NOT GET JUSTICE

It's a dumb statement, a weak statement, and completely nullifies everything he said in the song, because he's basking saying all the people who have these views are hypocrites, he starts every verse saying I am the biggest hypocrite, this song is basically a "what about black on black crime poem"

You would be surprised.... I PERSONALLY know of people who's currently doing life who was all outraged over Trayvon, but killed someone due to a beef over a parking spot.

The overall point instead of taking one line too literally is society is hypocritical PERIOD when it comes to how black people are viewed and portrayed.

 

[NahFam]

Who does this point need to be made to?



Black people know better than anybody else that Black people kill Black people?

Probably not u. Some ppl kno but dont understand. Some ppl eyes open but aint woke. He tryna touch those folks.

Not every black person is in a gang or kill cac
