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

[Not Crodie]

This is kind of weird coming from cacs breh

not really. Good music is good music. Even when its pro black, or abouts white people, or about dikks or cars, music is universal.

its not the first time elijah wood or leonardo fukk with hip hop music like that, I also remember that elijah's favorite hip hop song was something from Scarface.
I remember him saying "I can't relate to the song, but I can recognize it as great music"

white supremacy and black on black violence should never be in the same damn sentence. how is this hard to understand

These "people" still won't get it but this needs to be quoted again

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

Gtfoh with that shyt

what's wrong with that line?

dude is simply saying some REAL shyt. folks basically are saying fukk racism, white supremacy, black people being thrown in the hole but turn around supporting that shyt by doing the same things.

it's like folks get mad when a white person calls them a "c00n" but will turn around and call another black man a "c00n" if he isn't "acting black". same thing with self hating black people that turn around trashing dark skinned blacks, nappy hair, ready to look down on black people looking at the negatives, getting different color eye contacts, and etc.

of course, the same folks that don't get it and are getting upset are the same folks that are guilty of doing that shyt. they're ready to praise a black man for destroying himself or him destroying another black man ready to call him "real", praising it but will turn around ready to fight the white person that does the same shyt. it's one thing to be entertained by raps. it's another thing to think it's the way to go and to strive for that shyt especially if you know better.

this has nothing to do with black on black crime because i know how that shyt is misconstrued where you have the ignorant racist fukks ready to use that to justify what they're doing and blame black people for those ignorant fukks being racist and the system when they would be hating regardless or ready to shyt on us. however, it's real telling to see some black folks praising black men and black people for ruining themselves or basically fukking themselves over then calling someone a sellout for not doing bullshyt.

 

[MostReal]

this is exactly how this shyt makes me feel

so accurate

 

[JMurder]

Actually, no you didn't. This is what you said:

"You can't be sad about random loss of life when you engage in life loss on a regular basis. ."

You even made sure to qualify the first instance as random and not the 2nd one. You qualified it yourself.

I have my feelings about it too breh. Doesn't make what you're saying logical or even humanly and emotionally possible/credible. Just some good internet rhetoric for daps and such.

I see war as senseless, but I also recognize life for what it is. The military in itself is a trap for people who don't feel their life if worth much or because they are in a hard place. No one goes to war for glory or requirement anymore. Those people killing in Iraq have the same root of hopelessness that people in the hood have (which is no surprise when you see how the military preys on lower income black communities). They are just willing to sacrifice their life for money while others may chose other activities/jobs for money.

Fortunately, a lot of those same veterans are given ample amounts of support when they come home after they have sold their mind, body, and soul to the government. Amounts of support not given in the poorer areas where they draw these same men from. This shyt is a psychology and a SYSTEM. When we start placing emphasis on the people (ie. gang members, black on black crime) and not on the system in which they live in, we get away from the problems of why these "senseless" killings happen in the first place, in Compton or in Iraq.

I don't want to spend too much discussion on one sentence in a paragraph that I wrote because a) it's being taken out of context due to my desire to keep everything simple (I could've made that sentence a lot more specific but decided against it), and b) because the direction you're trying to take it to was never a point I intentionally made, agreed with or believed. Taking that statement for what it is, you could bring up police and make the same point. Either way, my point in that statement was that you can't be upset about random loss of life when you engage in the same type of random life loss regularly. In your example, you can't make it a point to mourn some random Iraqi's dying as a war vet when you've made a conscious decision to kill Iraqi's randomly.

As far as this other discussion that you're trying to have, I haven't thought about it thorougly enough to feel one way or another. It's not hypocrisy...however, it is something negative. War vets who would cry and feel mournful over random people dying (not related to war or family) because life loss is sad doesn't agree with me. I don't think taking life is a valid option outside of self defense/preservation. I'm still forming my thoughts on this so don't read too much into it.

 

[JMurder]

You call yourself Jmurder, you are the ultimate hypocrite

Why not, Gang banger has nothing to do with how Trayvon died

and also WHAT GANG BANGERS HAVE COME OUT RIDING FOR TRAYVON

Being in a gang is like joining army

so I guess soldier can't mourn injustice deaths because they killed people senseless on the battlefield

shut the fukk up

I am a hypocrite. Not for calling myself JMurder though. I've never killed anyone nor have I glorified killing anyone. I named myself JMurder because if anyone asked when I was a teenager what I was murdering, I'd tell them "beats, bars and basslines." That's beside the point.

The point is...you read the explanation for the bar....one that almost everyone agrees with and thinks is accurate and doesn't need to be modified.........and you still decide to make a DIRECT COMPARISON to gang banging and Trayvon when that was never the statement made at all. The line wasn't even structured to insinuate that Trayvon had anything to do with gang banging. The line didn't say anything about gang bangers riding out for Trayvon. The line was about Kendrick or the character Kendrick was playing, and people like him....and the hypocrisy they show by feeling and saying one thing yet doing another.

You are too dumb to understand this despite hundreds of posts discussing this. There is no hope for you

 

[Kitsch]

Would you expect anything other than that from him?

 

[SDW Mindset]

This track is piff

 

[Shield & Sword]

If you love that outro and haven't listened to Robert Glasper, you're doing something wrong. That was something right off Black Radio. Go listen NOW. Reminds me of this...

 

[Northern Son]

Can't really disagree. Hope this is what Kendrick meant.
