One of the realest posters on this damn site.

You think he dropped S.80 without interscops helpwhat exactly is his "deep" image? and how is it for marketing when he's been rapping about the same shyt before he even dropped for Interscope
Overly Dedicated
Section 80
are not so different from TPAB and GKMC
nikka aint #1 thoExactly.
Kendrick is a good rapper and I'm somewhat happy a conscious rapper is #1 right now instead of drake or Wayne.
But @Stacker Pentecost made a good point in her video. Kendrick is definitely pandering a little bit with the wanting a dark chick with a Richard Pryor afro Schtick.
But still it's a positive message so I'll let him cook.
What the fukk does that to with my point? Im talking about his sound and contentYou think he dropped S.80 without interscops help
Even at the time I knew he was some kind aplant
Artists who project posivity in their music often face a backlash in rap. These are literally comments made on the coli about positive music
"No one is that happy, he smiles too much"
"They don't play Kendrick in the hood"
"I can't bang this in the whip"
"That shyt is for cacs"
The irony is that nikkaz saying this will atribute negativity to keeping it real and will take c00n.raps in with no hesitation but as soon as an artist get a lil conscious he is being "preachy". They will disect his life to prove he isn't as pro black or whatever. All of this is a defence mecanism. People don't want to hold themselves to a higher standard or feel challenged to change. A lot of us have become comfortable with c00ning and anti intelectualism and don't want their position challenged.
Like they say you gonna find more people willing to help you do bad than good. When you try to uplighting folks you face a stiff arm of resistance but talk that ignorant shyt and entertain the lowest common denominator and you welcomed with open arms. That is our current reality. That's why dudes like 21 savage finessing the game and they will openly speak on selling negativity because positivity is shunned.
I owe you reps, possibly for life.People are trying to outwoke each other for attention and props it isn't a productive use of time or resources. It's more about clout and making yourself some kind of authority on shyt. So the "concious" people that should be about shyt are caught up in fighting amongst themselves.
What harm does a "fake" woke artists do if that's his angle? Shyt is retarded...
I'm not sure when it became marketing gold to push pro black music but it has never been so people need to kill that theory that it's a selling point. That's deadass stupid
nikkas here saying "kendrick gets nothing to puting on a probalck image"
Bullshyt
Theres a huge nonblack audience who love that shyt, surpringsly many r white. Yall just gon ignore all the
Whites, Mexicans, asians who love Tupac. PE had lots of nonblack fans. And these r some of the people who make up kendricks fanbase. Infact they majority.
Truth. I fukking hate itIs the back community the only one to call out others for being aware on this type of level?
Like god damn this shyt nonstop.
Like god damn its like if one our kind is considered nice or positive we go so far to prove they are not. Like why?
she has a septum piercing
I take everything she says with an atom of salt
wtf are you bringing this shyt up for?Bullshyt.
You're insinuating a "pro-black image"is what all those acts have in common that draws non-black fans. that's fukking retarded. majority of early migos fans, chief keef fans, Young thug, or lil uzi fans are white people. Most of these wack trap rappers have majority white fanbases especially before they hit mainstream. And even before them dudes like Pusha T, 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks etc have always had a vast majority of white fans.
Facts: it was never trendy/cool/profiable to be problack in rap outside of Queen Latifah's era. For every 1 kendrick that comes into the game there are 20 tee grizzleys. Dudes come in the game rapping about money/bytches/killing nikkas because they know what works.
Obviously reality would have a balanced representation. No one is asking for music that is pandering to any one side. I disagree with you however that those are valid criticisms. They are excuses and lies. Especially the makes music for cacs one. And Kendrick is on aftermath. There isn't any one of his records that can't bang in the whip
It's not about a lack of authenticity it's people tryna make you fit their mold of what black is or a rapper is.
Look @ when Kendrick bought his sister a ride and people actually found reasons to hate because they thought the car wasn't expensive or Flossy enough. The criticism isn't about music it's mostly about image and subject matter. He doesn't fit their mold. He isn't street enough (doesn't get play in the hood... Lie), or Flossy enough, he is preachy and fake deep.
If we were really talking about the music we would be touching on how trash his features are and the lack of quotables. Not him being fake deep.
