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.
kenny just put on a great performance, and this is what y'all got to say?
I already said i dont care that he didnt say it. But it just furthers my point that hes a fake mfer.
... shyt is stupid on so many levels.
