you were literally just s***ting on his fanbase for something every fanbase does. stop the reach

Kendrick and Cole aren't activist. They just don't sell d**** and kill ppl in every verse.

They are far from activist.

bruhhh lol i feel like Cole needs to come out and expand what he meant on this.

i mean he don't gotta do s*** i'm sure he doesn't care

but this is really getting misconstrued and i hate to see it having this effect on the project.

I only f*** with playas and pimps nigga
You a created player like Sims nigga

one of my favorite bars of his and I have no idea why. Think the way we said it just was stuck in my head.

Yellow Tape's a classic album btw

Not conscious but he was known as a backpack rapper until Grad/808s

Tell their fanbases that lol.

I see it happen a lot especially during the TPAB era before he got a stylist.

Kendrick even made songs that can be considered anti capitalist on TPAB and then switch around stunting his lifestyle on a lot of damn cuts.

the problem is that niggas group his fans together with the ones that think they are. those niggas are stans.

Every fanbase does not say their favorite rapper is humble and down to earth.

I’ve seen Cole stans take pics of him wearing the same shirt talking about “how many rappers you know wear the same clothes twice in a row”

And again I’m not even hating. I’m just explaining why he’s getting a lil backlash for that bar

backpack rapper yeah, I noted that earlier and said how he had the Louie Vuitton backpack for that reason.

Anyone that was seriously calling him a CONSCIOUS rapper back then was smoking dust lol.

I don't let fan bases influence what I think of artist. My heroes are Marc Lamont Hill, Angela Davis, Marcus Garvey etc.

Kendrick and Cole don't even try to be that. They have never alluded to being activist.

Damn... just woke up.

This man can put me to sleep like no other. Will try to finish the album later today.

Backpacker not conscious. That was for Mos and Talib. Kanye was kinda like their materialistic cousin

He 100% was lol

I would make the argument that Kendrick tried to but I'm too tired lol.

they just great rappers.

Kanye isn't more or less conscious than any other rapper. He just raps what he knows

I had no urge to ever return to KOD but I already wanna play this again

Kendrick tired to be an activist?

I can give you lines from every era of him saying he isn't an activist lol.

Literally every era of his mainstream career.

50 was on top and kanye was the yang to that Ying
Conscious doesn't mean dusty you can be fresh and conscious

this site don't know what conscious rapper means.

There was a thread about "conscious rappers" and someone said Isaiah Rashad was a conscious rapper lol.

I just feel like the marketing and hype doesn’t match up with what we got here, idk if I’m misconstruing something but for a rapping exercise project years in the making by someone who’s supposed to be one of the greatest, this just really underwhelmed me. He’s spitting for the most part but there’s only a few tracks that really made me feel like he was pushing himself on the highest level rap type stuff, he could’ve done way more

2nd listen.

No misses
