yeah that’s what i was thinking

we’ll just have to see, she can fr rap, her SoundCloud catalog is phenomenal

Lol it’s not at all the same. Kendrick much more of a white token.

Lil Baby & YoungBoy never getting the shoe-in rapper wins/noms at the Grammys every year. They never gonna be a white token to the point of being in THOSE spaces.

Just sounded like average rap s*** to me, kinda boilerplate but inoffensive.

Of course Azealia had to use an OK song as an excuse to get off a rant about an entire coast and her modern contemporaries.

She's right about Doja. But the record is still very fire.

Yea funnily enough I found out about her through Flying Lotus of all people he played her s*** on some radio mix

cali rappers got no swag? b**** sit down

whyd angel haze catch a stray lmfao

west coast criticism was weird as f*** cuz West Coast niggas have some classic records outside of the s*** everybody knows

Of course, but the logic still applies imo.

The music has never been intentionally made to appease those white people, hes just making the music that he feels and white people are doing what they will with it. Judging him because white people are weird about rap music is silly to me.

man shut up

What is with people’s obsession on psychoanalyzing and dictating how other’s create, consume, or perceive music.

kendrick can be a white token (which yes, he is) and also a very very great artist

youngboy and lil baby don’t have the vision that kendrick has to put together any of the albums that he’s done so far lmao, that’s not a knock on them but it just comes down to how each artist approaches music

I mean the Kendrick fans the ones who base everything on his acclaim, awards, etc so.

You can’t refuse to acknowledge how the Grammys, Pitchfork, and all these music bodies are full of the white ppl that use him as a token lol.

i KNOW it's not some try hard new york cats calling Cali swagless

Hey hey

♥

white ppl ghostwriting for kendrick is crazy

FACT: Kendrick is an incredible artist.

(also) FACT: White people in positions of power in media use him as a token for what ''real'' rap is.

Ya using stans of an artist to discredit an artist is so stupid lol

It‘s always these voodoo b****es that be crazy I swear

They've been doing that with Beyonce as well since she became ''woke'' lmao.

Azealia needs to stop posting instarants and get her dumbass in the studio and put that s*** on wax lil baby

Im not refusing to acknowledge it, it is just a fact that he is used by white people as a representation of their ideal of hip hop.

But I dont allow it to influence how I consume his music. He is both a “token” and a genius artist.

Simply having a vision doesn’t mean it was executed greatly.

Kendrick be getting passes just for that when he should be called out like any other artist for dropping something underwhelming lol

IS SHE STANDING ON BIDNESS OR NOT?
