You probably think killing for self defense/manslaughter is on par with cold blooded murder huh?

You don't even need to look at context, history, reason. All killing is the same and has the same motivation?

Everyone turns out to be a killer for the same reason "rah rah rah, I was mad and I killed", right?

A person doesn't turn to crime because they've been incessantly knocked down through out life. No. That's not why they do it. They don't stay on that road because it's a hard road to get out of. They don't get hopeless. Hopelessness in people doesn't lead to recklessness and lack of care for other people. No. Not at all. Not a chance!

You are right. That (black) gang member killed that other gang member because black people are scary to him. It's def all hypocrisy. All the same.
you assuming an awful lot of shyt I didn't write my dude

dont talk to me about context nikka yall in here crying about that one bar cause you translated it as "what about black on black crime" from the mouth of O riley in your head. That is a deflection. Kendrick doesn't have to deflect from anything tho he wrote the fukkin song

Newsflash THIS ISN'T 1990, Compton is not even a black neighborhood today, and it was always a SMALL SUBURB OF LA

Black Gangs are not the back bone of the black community, you have to be a cac to say something that stupid

The only black city where gang culture thrives is fukking Chicago, because that's where gangs started

the Vice Lord was a CORPORATION, and it was a community operation, that's the origins of gangs in Chicago
how it is today it's not how he started, now that's another topic

Hood shyt will always be hood shyt, that doesn't equate to fukking gang violence

I've never member in my life and lived in the hood in Detroit and Philly

Also what does Gang Violence have to do with Travyon Martin, NOTHING

Absolutely nothing, so your point is mute

Homie check the edit on my last response to you.

Oh and honestly breh fukk what you think I am/should be/must be/have to be/have been/will be. :stopitslime: I keep telling you to drop the ad hominem but I think you can't respond without using those, so whatever.

Black gangs ARE not what they were back in the days, but once upon a time they WERE a force to be reckoned with. That's a fact. Once upon a time entertainment (tied with gang activities) was the foundation of most of the black wealth in the impoverished neighborhoods (I confess I don't know what the black middle class was doing at that time) and quite a few rappers have seen more money than X and Dr. King combined because of that fact.

Why the fukk do you think the NWA is so famous? Is it just because they are entertaining or did they mean something? Or both? What do you think?

As for what Gang Violence has to do with Trayvon's case: They both claim lives that shouldn't have to be taken from earth. Again, do you think there's absolutely no relation between Jonylah's death and Trayvon's? Because I think both Jonylah's killer and Trayvon's Killer didn't give a flying fukk about black lives, much like the system that raised them.

The system doesn't give a fukk about black people, that means we should NOT be kumbaya with white people about Trayvon and Eric Gardner. But I don't see why we should be kumbaya with Jonylah's murderers too just because they're black and have been reactionary to a sick system for most of their lives. Both are wrong and must be spoken about, regardless of which criminal gets punished and which criminal does not.

You've never been a gang member, nor have you caught a body, and that's good! We're all glad that you've lived a reasonable life. But a lot of nikkas out there have caught a brotha's body before, and that's who the song is for.

I don't even 100% disagree with Kendrick, but the way he stated his message was wrong, wrong, wrong. It does not make sense. He's preaching to the wrong damn people. Black people can't stop racism. Only white people can stop racism because they are the ones obviously being fukking racist. The line makes no sense sans to start controversy.

.... Which is why you have hella white kids who were once like "What about black on black crime".... now being like 'See, Now you black people want to agree just cause Kendrick said so!'

:laugh:

Song would have been 10000000000 x's better if he had pointed out to white people how the system/media fills their head and makes THEM fall into racism, rather than songs about imaginary gangsters crying about Trayvon.

Kendrick doesn't have to deflect from anything tho he wrote the fukkin song

You're right, because he already said it loud and clearly in a Rolling Stone mag while sticking up for the nubian white queen. :umad:

If you are out here killing a nikka over dumb shyt and then turns around to gets upset at someone else doing it...that makes you a hypocrite. Doesn't mean the other fukkboy killing kids is right either it just means you also need to look at yourself if you are out here being a shythead. Again EVERYONE has to do better.

If that doesn't apply to you then the lie wasn't about you. If you out here doing the right things and all that jazz, then that line isn't about you..that line isn't a diss at you.

It's like a serial rapist being all about women's rights and shyt...you can't do that.

Victim blaming?

It's always victim blaming until its your relative that gets killed. I've got that 2am call before. Sounds like you haven't. Maybe when a couple of your loved ones get killed out here you'll stop feeling angry that Kendrick criticized the poor scumbag murderers and killers :francis:

Read my whole post you moron. I was telling nikkas to get off Kendricks dikk for his opinion.
Don't quote me again fukboy :pacspit:

I like the song, went a little to Outkast in the beginning but still a good song. I am disappointed with Kendrick going in this direction with what he's saying, maybe it'll make more sense when the album comes out.

I get that he grew up around gang culture and that's why he's so outspoken about it, he's seen that shyt destroy his friends, cousins, and uncles lives. There was a breakfast club interview he did where he alluded to being raised to believe that white people were bad and that they were the problem. As he got older and more famous from his bubble white people have been good to him and supported him. Maybe someone got in his ear. I know I saw Schoolboy Q talk about how Kendricks always been a hipster into all that weird pharrell type shyt. It could also be he's chilling with rich people now and they kind of re affirmed some of his beliefs and hatred toward gang culture.

Still, I wish Kendrick would just directly say something about the police and what they've done wrong instead of pointing the finger anywhere but. Even that song he recently put out with Jonathan Emile, despite the songs message on his verse Kendrick never directly speaks out. I know he kind of came up on the Napoleon Hill do for yourself thinking but it's like come on man you can't be blind to it. You should pick a side. Who knows, I'm just being crazy trying to make sense of it. Maybe on the album he'll have songs that provide balance but for now it's disappointing, this and his comments in the billboard interview.

what the fukk is lil kebler elf looking motherfukka talking about other than "What about black on black crime"

:leon: No more ad hominems! much appreciated breh (no sarcasm). :salute:A response with unnecessary offenses makes a world of difference.:wow:

You said there weren't any gangs marching members marching for Trayvon, but you can't tell me that gang members with bodies under them weren't vocal about how "unjust" the death was. Or even gang members homies/family members who wouldn't snitch on their own for shyt, even though their own may have snuffed some innocents along the way.

Now let's see; other than black on black crime the little kebler elf is talking about:

- Whites not being AA's friends:

"You never liked us anyway, fukk your friendship, I meant it",
"You hate me don't you?
You hate my people, your plan is to terminate my culture
"
"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"

- The object of his fight:

"This plot is bigger than me, it's generational hatred
It's genocism, it's grimy, little justification"

Generational hatred...does that mean anything deep to you breh? Or when you hear the words "Generational Hatred" all you think is how whites really feel about blacks?

Maybe I'm not making that much sense to you, so to keep it simple I'ma put it this way: A lot of us are fighting to overturn the judicial law and white society's views of blacks all accross the country. But if we don't teach the most unfortunate of us to love ourselves then we may as well be fighting white society AND self-hating c00ns at the same time. Can we battle these two fronts at the same time? I honestly think we can.
