Kendrick Lamar - The Blacker The Berry (Prod. by Boi-1da)

[Kaypain]

The misplaced anger

Yall get me tight with this c00n shyt man real talk

 

[Reece]

"Why did I weep when Trayon Martin was in the street when gang bangin made me kill a nikka blacker than me, hypocrite!"

This line pretty much ruined the song for me.

Create false equivalencies between systematic racial injustice and gang violence brehs. :mjthink:

If Zimmerman got the same life sentence that the Crips and Bloods got for "killing someone blacker than me" then I would agree with Koondrick. But Zimmerman is signing autographs like white supremacists celebrity.

Point flew so hard over your head.

He's saying its nikkas RIGHT NOW.....thousands of nikkas RIGHT NOW......who killed other black people but, had a nerve to scream about justice for Trayvon. I mean, how that's supposed to work? You scream about injustice, white supremacy and systematic racism but, once the marching over, you back to shooting nikkas in the head for lookin at you the wrong way. That's what Kendrick's talking about. Don't act like he aint on point, especially if you black and from a major urban city where its young men being killed EVERYDAY. Black life worth less than $5 out here. And 99% of the time, it aint the cops doing it.

 

[Master Teacher]

It's hypocritical 'cause gangbangers kill the innocent as well as their counterparts...question:

Would you feel it if the dude that killed



Cried about Trayvon/Eric deaths being unjust?

Or does the fact that he faces jail time unlike the white cops and Zimmerman make all the difference?

It makes all the difference you fukking moron, gang members weep over gang members dying, so why can't they be outraged over Trayvon

you can't paint everybody with a broad stroke

also he was talking about innocent by stands, which isn't what gang violence is

he was talking about the blood and crips beefing, last time I check they aren't in Chicago, and the height of those gang wars have been over for quite sometime

 

[Reece]

Like Chief Keef had the nerve to talk about Trayvon when he and his crew was connected to multiple murders. That's what Kendrick meant.

 

[Kenny West]

Having a problem with something =/= to being mad.

bruh this is the second single on a highly antcipated album with platinum expectations.for an artist that had put out an arguable classic and had already made it into the mainstream

With a first verse like THIS

Spoiler

I'm the biggest hypocrite of 2015
Once I finish this, witnesses will convey just what I mean
Been feeling this way since I was 16, came to my senses
You never liked us anyway, fukk your friendship, I meant it
I'm African-American, I'm African
I'm black as the moon, heritage of a small village
Pardon my residence
Came from the bottom of mankind
My hair is nappy, my dikk is big, my nose is round and wide
You hate me don't you?
You hate my people, your plan is to terminate my culture
You're fukkin' evil I want you to recognize that I'm a proud monkey
You vandalize my perception but can't take style from me
And this is more than confession
I mean I might just press the button so you know my discretion
I'm guardin' my feelin's, I know that you feel it
You sabotaged my community, makin' a killin'
You made me a killer, emancipation of a real nikka

instead of even discussing the gravity of this, africans spent most of this thread arguing about 1 bar....1 bar. Thats mad

When did this happening, show me these nikkaz

last time I checked all the protest was from law abiding citizens

 

[Ronnie Lott]

Yall get me tight with this c00n shyt man real talk

Kendrick said some c00n shyt and George Zimmerman is white. Deal with it

 

[Master Teacher]

Oh I know why they mad

and I love it

Trayvon was a thing before the verdict was announced

in a way im glad you mad cause at least you care but for fukks sake, be real with yaself. for February 9th it's okay to be a hypocrite. embrace that shyt

Zimmerman wasn't even arrested at first and if wasn't for out cry he never would have been


you dumb ass nikka

and none of the Trayvon protest HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH GANGS OR CRIMINALS

It's part of the song whether you like it or not, continue with the mental gymnastics though.

 

[Po pimp]

"Use your BRAIN. It ain't them that's killing us, it's us that's killing us. It ain't them that's knocking us off, it's Us that's knocking us off. You better watch it, or be a victim."

 

[Reece]

last time I checked all the protest was from law abiding citizens

You's a dumb ass.

Every black person alive had something to say about Trayvon and Mike Brown....fukk are YOU talkin about?

That includes the nikkas who got bodies on them.

 

[Piff Perkins]

Listen to Kendrick at the beginning...

"Everything black, I don't want black
I don't like being black, I ain't need black
I want everything black, I hate being black"

"They may say I suffer from schizophrenia or something"

Self hate. And what created it - institutional racism.

 

[Kenny West]

Zimmerman wasn't even arrested at first and if wasn't for out cry he never would have been


you dumb ass nikka

Sounds like him not getting arrested would be an example of institutional racism

the same institutional racism Kendrick called out in the first verse :ard:. welcome to the 360th degree

dumbass

 

[Kaypain]

Kendrick said some c00n shyt and George Zimmerman is white. Deal with it

Alright you're right my niggga

 

[Master Teacher]

dumbass

You mean the first verse where he called himself a hypocrite and a proud monkey

all this song did was point the finger at the black man at the end of the day

bloods and crips ain't even relevant anymore

the gang problem is in Chicago

Compton look like farm land, with a bunch of Mexicans

also what does the first verse have to do with third

why change the subject
