Kendrick Not Allowed To Talk About Politics Anymore In Interviews?

[HearNoEvil]

good

no matter what he says it's massive backlash

get more militant like some of you want and the media will attack him, stay on his path now and social media will keep attacking him

y'all act like you want rappers to be opinionated then shyt on them when they are

fukk it, just talk music and kim

 

[Mike Otherz]

not mad at him, lets be honest. name 1 celebrity whose politics you c/s 100%. he is just asking for problems.

 

[Blessings]

Best rapper in the game (no features, no promo, pro-black)

 

[Apex]

He's a faux militant rapper whom pretends to be deep to make up for his lack of skills in making hits on a drake level. But he really aint saying shyt deep at all.

Who is then?

Lol I just noticed how much he sounds like DMX at the beginning.

 

[Concerning VIolence]

So are his stans itt agreeing he's a hotep nikka.

so wait let me get this straight, yall shyt on other rappers who aren't even political for not speaking about political shyt but now that the political rapper wont talk about what his album is based on it's "oh he just a rapper, he aint no politician" when yall been holdin this dude up to such a high standard

yo im so done with these stans man

these stans really ignoring what was the hype of TPAB.

Who is then?

Mainstream hip-hop with any glimmer of consciousness or politics is such in a drought that people think Kendrick is insightful.

 

[TooLazyToMakeUp1]

There's that, and the fact that Kendrick raps his views a lot clearer and more precisely than he speaks them in interviews

Maybe someone else is writing them


Dude has the nerve to splice up interviews on a record with The Goat, but he's scared to talk that shyt in real life in a real interview

Everybody wanna be Pac. but nobody want to be Pac

The content is there but nah...song is just aight, just like everything else he does.

 

[The God Poster]

didn't it say in the OP that the "white kid from Sweden" was the guy who did the origianl tupac interview at the end of TPAB? I'm sure he knows quite a bit about that stuff.



You're acting like this is some secret evil ulterior motive of journalists. The entire basis of interview journalism is to get the interviewee to say interesting things about whatever topic they're talking about. In this case, it's the album which is highly political and has political messages in almost every single song. If you restrict the interviewer from asking anything political about the political album, you take away like half the possible questions to ask. One of the biggest reasons Kendrick is famous is because he's such a political voice in his music, so doesn't it make sense that when you read a Kendrick interview you would want him to have the same voice. Isn't that one of the most appealing and interesting things about him? So why not try to get him to talk about it? Of course it would benefit his career and company/website, that's what doing your job correctly is called. It's not all for the journalists, it's a symbiotic relationship between the interviewer and interviewee. They both give eachother publicity, so it would make sense for them to work together and talk about the most interesting parts of the interviewees life and worldview right?

@OnlyInCalifornia ima need u to respond to this

Stop talking and dance like a good little negro

Right?

 

[Blackout]

You know that the main ones on here who agree that Kendrick shouldn't talk about politics aren't black

They're so transparent.

 

[Blackout]

They're so transparent.

They just don't care because it doesn't affect them lol.

They are like, "Man there he goes talking about those black peoples issues again. Why can't he just dance for my entertainment and shut up"

Then this happens and they are happy they won't have to listen to him talk about it.

He can just come and dance and entertain them while their racist relatives talk shyt about us and they laugh with them.

 

[SunZoo]

I get it. Not even because of the backlash from the media, it's the fans too. From the Vibe shyt to his latest interview where you had several people on the coli making the "Kendrick says media is trying to start a race war"...

He's an intelligent cat but he's not that articulate as a public speaker. The more rambling they allow him to do in interviews about his political stances the more people will jump at the chance to take what he says out of context. He's catching shyt from people who want him to talk and people who want him to shut up...might as well just let the music speak for its self before there is another PR issue that moves the conversation from the album to how mad this group of people is at him for this statement.

"Republicans buy Nike too" - Michael Jordan. There's that, and the fact that Kendrick raps his views a lot clearer and more precisely than he speaks them in interviews

Like Mos Def...Nas......Common.........and to a lesser degree Lupe.......
