That’s still true nowadays lol. Make or say anything leftist leaning in your art and critics will d***ride you

S*** they literally made a horror movie called The Blackening and it’s getting critical acclaim

This s*** so insulting to black folk bro 😂. He really thinks this is some astute point.

But no one is going out their way to do a deep dive in someone like Lil Baby’s music the way they do Kendrick’s

Maybe not so much about woke s*** but make some weirdo, anti-mainstream s*** and you'll get acclaim as well. Doesn't matter if the actual music is s***.

when white people are fans of concepts... "he's pandering to white people to get critical acclaim!"

when white people are fans of artists who come without a concept.... "he's making the black community look bad because white people want to see ignorant images of black people be perpetuated!"

you honestly can't win with these "rap fans"

just make dope art and do what you want

Dawg pulling up s*** from last decade congrats.

West Side Story not even about black people necessarily.

Fences is more than just a "black struggle movie" and is a period piece drama that isn't just about "hey guys look racism"

Moonlight isnt even really about the black struggle it's an LGBT themed movie with black people in it, and Kaluuya got that award cuz he's a f***in great actor.

This is in bad faith

reverse snobbery at an all time high

Don't take it personal, this narrative is olddddd

The idea that putting effort into the conceptual trappings of your art is some white people s***... because only white critics really care about that... it just doesn't sit well with me. It's like saying if Kendrick really engaged in his blackness, he would just make some ignant bangers and call it a day lol

As if Sun Ra and George Clinton weren't doing the most back in their day. Like Biggie and Jay weren't presenting their albums as movies as early as 1995. Prince Among Thieves! Gambino and Danny Brown catch the same flack as Kendrick for being conceptual white people rappers and it's just a silly obstacle to have to deal with IMO

But they do Lupe, KA, Billy Woods, Doom, Most Def, Jay Z, Kanye, OutKast, Rapsody and almost every artist that makes that type of music. Why are you pretending like black folk are dumb and their only target is whiteness that s*** is such a dumb ass take.

The Blackening is a horror comedy how is it even leftist man

like there’s nothing else you can get from that other than “white people like music with thought and substance behind it, black people just like turn up s***”

it’s dumb asf and a high school ass mindset

s*** reminds me of black niggas being called white for using “””big””” words

What I’ve been moreso noticing even more is women making the same s*** as anyone else out there and getting acclaim for it because they’re preachy about feminism or minority rights (Lana Del Rey, Taylor Swift, Phoebe Bridgers, Beyoncé, Fiona Apple, etc. )

name some examples of this im genuinely curious

We're on a Kanye website. Be careful

The jokes are literally all geared towards black oppression and negative stereotypes towards them in horror cinema

outkast was making music for white people bro!

Let's not even get into this lmao. This a whole other conversation.

I was bout to get you another 20 pages

More woke, leftist pandering like Marlon Wayans Presents Fifty Shades of Black 🤦‍♂️

Parodying horror tropes isn't really some political statement though lol

love this lady so much man
