Niiggas talkin all this “it’s about to get real” shiit, but is niiggas ready tho? Is Nïggas really ready to kill for theirs?

Hell naw! Black people couldn't(wouldn't) even boycott the NFL years ago. We'll still rock Gucci even after that disrespectful sweater they put out and their BS apologies. Some of us won't get off Twitter even though it's a nest egg of anti-black racism. Folks bragging about their Tesla's and ugly cybertrucks. Some of our women still go to these Asian beauty supply stores and nail salons even after all these Asians were attacking them and being disrespectful. Kanye shytted on the ancestors("slavery was a choice") but folks still buy his ugly ass shoes and listen and buy his music.

We won't even do small things like above but talking about revolution.

Majority of black people aren't serious. Just focus on your self and your family and people in your circle.

everything this dude does it’s hoards of you stan’s trying to make it some deep symbolic meaningful shyt.

It was a playstation controller, an american flag made of black folks and uncle sam as “uncle sam”

Dude literally did a song called peek a boo. And i gotta listen to countless of you weirdos telling me how “deep” this shyt was

What is deep? Cause it seems like yall don't think anyone is saying anything thought provoking but yourselves

You’re right. I hope we get back to the point of wielding our economic might as a collective as was done before during the civil rights era.

Kendrick actually has some “deep” songs and some with great and currently relevant social commentary. He just did none of them at the super bowl.

Dude just wanted to promote his new music and perform his most popular song, which is fine.

He didn’t say or do much of anything “thought provoking” at the super bowl.

Fans just writing the story cause they gotta make any and everything this dude does larger than life.

It’s ok just to say “I liked the songs and i enjoyed shytting on Drake one more time”

 

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

Got old peckerwoods emotional about it while so called Black people are looking for ways to diminish it

Just like Blackish and Kenya Barris content, Kendrick’s music makes white people feel comfortably guilty enough to trick a black person into thinking they care about their plight

We know you don't

Kendrick makes serenade for white liberals and new blacks

New black LOVEEE this performative nonsense.

So why is viewcount on this performance so high? 30 million views in a day? And the comments are 90% positive.

Because the whole thing hinged on being about Drake which people were ALREADY dikkRIDING and he of course performed Not like us

Does explain the comments complimenting the entire performance. Comments from all over the world. You guys need to go to the video. The comments here aren't reflecting what people are saying.

While I liked the performance, I can see how some people wouldn't like it. Compared to something like Bruno Mars or some others, it felt less like a spectacle and more like one geared towards his fans. Personally I liked the visuals and everything but I can see how some wouldn't be impressed. In the end, it was solid so I won't knock it. I was actually ready to knock it since I'm not a Kendrick superfan like a lot of people are.

Sidenote: I liked his jacket and want one.

Bruh has a lot of fans.

The same people who have been “I like Kendrick, but” on that hate train since forever are doing the same in this thread. What a surprise.

Every Kendrick thread is filled with white boy adjacent dweebs talking about “well, actually it’s not that deep”

What exactly was deep about this?

Watched this again and his performance at Dre’s >>>>>. He prolly had the best performance section at the Dre shyt. Also him bringing out SZA cause she’s poppin but leaving out Jay Rock and Schoolboy was ass. Them nikkas never gonna EVER see a Super Bowl stage so it would’ve been dope for them. Could’ve been an easy ally oop for his crew cause it’s not like he don’t got hit records wit them. And before anyone says anything. Justin’s performance. Got unfairly shytted on for not having N Sync.
