He was in a diff place during the 2 examples. He went to black award shows diring death row and acted the same. Nice try though
Why did Kendrick play it safe with " We hate Po Po" line in Grammy performance?

Youre fukking stupid. Say what you mean and mean what you say. How fukking hard is that to understand? Use that smiley for yourself you dumb mothafukka.What? They request the song, they meaning the Grammys. He doesn't get to pick. This isn't HIS concert.
Didn't say that at all... how you even drew the conclusion that I was sayin' that is beyond me.

How is gettin' harassed and beat up by police for jaywalking... being a threat?Pac did the same shyt y'all accuse Kendrick of- he talked a whole lot about what needs to be done in the community and he was smart and all that shyt... but he spent the last year of his life declaring war on other black men and women in the music industry and got killed for involving himself in gang shyt. How is this being a threat to establishment or White Amerikkka... they were glad it happened.
Kendrick has none of the fire or pedigree Pac had.Michael Eric Dyson talks a whole lot of shyt about what needs to be done in the community and he was smart and all that shyt, but would you compare him to Khalid Muhammad who basically did the same thing?Yeah, in many ways, it's the same, but some are more bold & defiant.It's in your essence.Kendrick is a docile ass nicca.C'mon, y'all see that!
And some niccaz gotta go.If you really wanna change shyt, you're gonna have to declare war on some niccaz.
It's always a section of snake ass niccaz in the mix who must be terminated
You basically saying they did the same things. I ended the convo due to your lack of understanding

You might be the dumbest poster I've ever gone back and forth with on this website at this point I am sure @DANJ! agrees. Kendrick said what he meant and meant what he said. That's EXACTLY how the lyric was written and delivered on the album ORIGINALLY. Him over emphasizing or changing what he said it would actually change what he originally meant.
I'll let you get back to this heated debate if white people hate Kendrick or Tupac more! Though I do want to point out that white people absolutely love them both.

Not dodging I didn't see your post until now. We can break it down however you want to.
The opening scene of black men chained and encaged. He performed the first verse of 'Blacker The Berry' which, imo, is the most important verse of the song.
Lyrics:
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 press the button just so you know my discretion
I'm guardin' my feelins, I know that you feel it
You sabotage my community, makin' a killin'
You made me a killer, emancipation of a real nikka
Those lyrics were just performed in front of white America. Do I have to break down the entirety of what each of those statements mean?
If you're black you respect that...but let's ignore that right smh. We can keep going.
The imagery of the scene itself sets worth the message. All chained. Even a brother playing the sax in a cage, whether that it was the meaning or not, can be interpreted as well. Even if you cage and chain us up, our potential breaks through the oppression. We still are able to shine through.
He breaks the chains, says "trap our bodies but can't lock our minds" and they break into traditional African dance as the chorus comes in:
I said they treat me like a slave, cah' me black
Woi, we feel a whole heap of pain, cah' we black
And man a say they put me in a chain, cah' we black
Imagine now, big gold chain full of rocks
How you no see the whip, left scars pon' me back
But now we have a big whip, parked pon' the block
All them say we doomed from the start, cah' we black
Remember this, every race start from the block, just remember that
I mean I can really go shot by shot. Break it down in every which way. Every scene. But y'all want to get into c00n talk and deflect because really you're hiding your insecurity and discomfort. So you're attempting to nitpick and criticize because you yourself don't want the backlash that comes with living in truth and speaking truth to power.
Now do you want me to further breakdown y'all bullshyt, coward tactics or you want to fall back? Because the scene with Alright has meaning as well. The last rap was powerful as well.
But let's ignore all of what was said, done and projected for the black masses and talk about how he's a coward for not saying "and we hate popos" right after he rapped an entire verse shytting on white supremacy. Yea let's do that.
@ this heel turn on Kendrick for no reason.You basically saying they did the same things. I ended the convo due to your lack of understanding
The fact you just used 'lack of understanding'... but you thought I said they did the same thing...
Reminds me of when a girl says "so basically, what you tellin' me..." and then says the EXACT opposite of what you just said.

For all those saying he omitted that rhyme because he's scared...the last song ('Untitled 3' some are calling it) is more "dangerous" than hatred of police:
"It's been a week already
Feeling weak already
Got me at peak, possibility of what could be
Situation is heavy, I got the prunes
On February twenty sixth I lost my life too
It's like I'm here in a dark dream
Nightmare, hear screams recorded
Say that it sounds distorted but they know who it was
That was me yelling for help when he drowned in his blood
Why didn't he defend himself? Why couldn't he throw a punch?
And for our community do you know what this does?
Add to a trail of hatred
Twenty twelve was taken from the world to see
Set us back another four-hundred years
This is modern day slavery
The reason why I'm by your house
You threw your briefcase all on the couch
I plan on creeping through your damn door and blowing out
Every piece of your brain
'Til your spine drip to your arm
Cut off the engine then sped off in a Wraith"
He just rapped about running up in white folks houses and blowing their brains out
He a coward tho brehs

I thought it was contrived to promote the performance as controversial before it even took place. The self-censoring basically confirms the gimmicky nature of this sh1t. If this was about the message would you really care to sanitize it?
Lets do this. What was the original quote on the album?
What did he say at the Grammys?

So I guess this is another time when the coli and racists are shytting on the same person 
The fact you just used 'lack of understanding'... but you thought I said they did the same thing...
