Kendrick is as real as it's currently going to get on a corporate level. Not by any fault of his either, really, it's moreso a fault of the system that creates our heroes. Is he a pawn? Yes. Is he doing the best he can, given the shackles of corporate ownership? Yes. Pac's girl at the end of his life was fair-skinned, does that make him a c00n too? So who isn't a c00n? If anything, I respect the message being sent by him staying with his day one, non-white girlfriend amidst the success.
The truth is, black women like the one in the video have been neglected and abused for so long that they're angry at all black men. It's like, no matter what you do, black feminists always have you under a microscope, searching for that one flaw that lumps you in with the rest of ain't shyt black men. If you're Future, you're a deadbeat; if you're Kendrick, you're a c00n. Yet these videos lack a proper critique of the corporate systems, ran by white men and women, responsible for every aspect of these guys' images.
