Why did Kendrick play it safe with " We hate Po Po" line in Grammy performance?

[Trey0'5Blue2Gz]

The album came out a year ago, u air head.

These people in here just throwing shyt hoping it sticks to the wall and some other silly ass cac co-signs it


This thread serves as proof on how all these cacs and white washed nikkas be running around the Coli.

Breh... Kanye backtracked. This is on your list of brothers who are unapologetically Black.

His backtrack was just as authentic as the original statement.
That's the point. Kendrick won't even make himself available to backtrack in anything.

Funny thing is, I agree with you on that, but for different reasons. You're keeping Kendrick out of your Black VIP section for violating the same rules you are giving exception to Kanye for.

I ain't said shyt about a "vip section" don't be facetious breh

If you judge these brehs by their ART compared to their identity, Kanye left his girl for a white girl and spent the money he could have brought Black people to heaven with by buying it on a Ralph necklace.

Again. It was never about judging anybody. It's about authenticity. Kanye will tell you why he chose that white girl with no fukks given. Kendrick will pretend his non-black girlfriend doesn't exist.

Kendrick erred in his assessment about Black people needing respect from white people. that is a point to debate him on, show him why he's wrong and groom him into being a better intellect through his music. Not to completely eliminate him as a pseudo-activist.

Being strategic is what I meant by chess not checkers. It doesn't matter if it's cliche, it fits.

Yes and kendricks strategy is to gain popularity by repeating cliche "pro black" messages that have been approved by the establishment.

I don't think it has to be one or the other. Pac was a brilliant brother but I don't agree with blaming the victims of economic warfare. It kind of implies it's an internal issue, something wrong with us...when in reality any people that is deprived of resources and put into a concentrated area will begin to kill one another. There have been numerous experiments done that shows that. It's natural survival tactics. Combine that with the psychological abuse and propaganda waged on us, you get what you see.





He's been as straight forward and overly aggressive in speaking against white supremacy in his music as much as you can ask for. What do y'all want really? I really want to know. Because he's said everything except "I want to kill all white people" and if he said that y'all would back away from him with the quickness. He has said everything you can say that Gaye, Pac and others spoke on. Let's stop playing games with this shyt.

We don't need him to do anything more than make the soundtrack for the times we are living. That's what all great, socially aware artists do. Marvin, Pac, Cooke, etc.

Nothing is ever enough for y'all.

We don't need him or any damn black leader(s) to give us salvation. That's low key what y'all want. Another nikka to hide behind to be the sacrifice when shyt gets real so we don't have to bare the consequences of fighting for black empowerment.

This has to br requoted

Brehs in here are saying "real activism" is unapologetic meanwhile the poster boy for Black activism, el-Hajj Malik el-Shabazz, spoke with a spiritual fire when speaking to Black audiences but strategically was soft spoken when debating white intellects.

Strategy...you do not give people an OUT in an attempt to discredit you. Let him cook. If you are a stronger activist...pick up the people that Kendrick's "marketing ploy" brought a little closer to the light.

do not compare this fraud to malcolm

 

[MrWestGrand]

Just watched the performance, and Kendrick was true to who Kendrick is. The non spoken communication in his set spoke volumes to his knowledge of self, and hopefully sparks the continued path of awakeness black people are experiencing.

Very proud of his performace.

Kendrick is an artist and flawed human being.

Much like Muhammad Ali stumbled when talking about race around the time he first changed his name, Kendrick is stumbling too at times.

Have we thought about the possibility of giving brehs a chance to mature int heir ideology before cutting them down in a hail of intellectual gunfire?

Damn.

Where are we moving the ball by trying to descredit an artist in an ATTEMPT to bring even a small amount of awareness in a genre dominated by Hotline Blings and Young Thug pulling them dikks out after Future tells that Young nikka move that dope?

you're ridiculous dude

you stay comparing this fukkboy to great people

are you kidding me

muhammad ali put his whole boxing career on the line for his beliefs

kendrick couldn't even utter one line on his song he thought would make people mildly upset. he's don't even talk about politics in depth in his interviews whatsoever. he's a simple minded fraud pretending to be something he's not.

 

[SirBiatch]

do not compare this fraud to malcolm

It just never stops with these stans. they'll compare Kendrick to Nas, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Prince, Bob Marley and now Malcolm X and Muhammad Ali. Always as a way to downplay them to Kendrick's level. It's beyond insulting. and duckworths wonder why a select few shyt on them so heavily: They're obviously THE worst stans in modern hip hop.

The non-spoken communication was him locked in chains like a criminal

Black people make up 60% of the prison population, but that dont mean their faceless and without a voice. The Prison Shackles, the Afrikkan drums and dance, to me stood as a reminder of the dualities in of African American people.

We came from a place of free spiritual expression and love of self, to a land where we've become shackled, beaten down as a people, and critiqued for speaking on what we feel is right for us.

Did you not see the bruises on his face too?

Ok buddy

Kendrick is my man but is Beyoncé harder in 2016

The image of imprisonment wasnt glorifed and served its purposed artistically.

 

[MrWestGrand]

Ok buddy

Looking at it from an artistic lens, thats what I saw.

 

[Cladyclad]

because he wrote the damn song and wanted to perform it. Y'all nikkas man

Man that's weak breh. Just like Game not saying that "A" snapping they fingers line and bigging up Jay Z while he was in the audience when he performed One Blood at the Hiphop awards in ATL

Or

Common not performing that verse from Real People about black men walking with white girls on they arm on Letterman

All pu55y moves
