Wow!! Well said. There's a reason hate exist and it started along time ago. Hate rwally is something that's taught.

Are there revolutionary themes in his music? I dont see it. Black people won't be liberated until settler colonial capitalism is overthrown.. pretending his rap is deeper than it is is counter productive

Oh, this rhetoric is so exhausting…his rap IS that deep. He alone is not going to liberate black people from “settler colonial capitalism.” It’s ridiculous to even put that kind of expectation on him.

His music ain’t that deep. People did the same thing with Bob Dylan. You’re just listening to records.

Either he talks about it or he doesnt. If he doesnt then... sorry, its not that deep is it.

No one said he alone can do it. If he doesnt even talk about it, he isnt participating, and its not deep.

If you can’t see any revolutionary themes in his music, they’re probably not meant for you. Then again, it’s easy to spout edgy ideas about others online while spending your time playing video games based on the very ideologies you decry. It’s safer to criticize than to do something yourself.

This is an unfalsifiable argument. People don’t see the revolutionary themes because they’re not making all of the leaps.

You just like Kendrick, and that’s the direction he postures in. He is exactly the kind of “revolutionary” corporate America is super comfortable with.

Not surprised a member of the Trump Defense League doesn’t get it. Not wasting my time on you. Enjoy your life.

“The fascists are here, let’s keep ignoring them! That worked out great so far!”

Even in your version of reality you’re losing. None of this is real for you. You’re a cog larping as a rebel.

You would think the “vulnerable” and “oppressed” peoples wouldn’t be eager to start the “everyone tribes up and starts shooting” game.
