S: Can I ask you a hypermasculine question? You can also tell me to shut the f*** up. What does “Not Like Us” mean to you?
KL: (Laughing) Not like us? Not like us is the energy of who I am, the type of man I represent. Now, if you identify with the man that I represent …
S: Break the man down for me.
KL: This man has morals, he has values, he believes in something, he stands on something. He’s not pandering.
He’s a man who can recognize his mistakes and not be afraid to share the mistakes and can dig deep down into fear-based ideologies or experiences to be able to express them without feeling like he’s less of a man.
If I’m thinking of “Not Like Us,” I’m thinking of me and whoever identifies with that.
Yeah if you taking this guy seriously in 2024 you need your brain checked

He was talking about the hip hop industry
It's VERY simple. Do not claim to be anti industry when you are an industry puppet. That's all. It makes sense to do it. It gives you good reviews and pr. So it makes sense for him to do it. My only issue is his fake persona.
What makes Kendrick an industry puppet? Because he has relationships in the industry?
So kendrick being honest about his feelings of being in the public eye means that he should do what exactly?
this is like calling Drake a hypocrite because he often states how tired he is of dating or whatever in his music, but then seeing him pop up with a new girl on social media means he's a hypocrite?
It's a weird standard to hold. Kendrick should not drop music or perform at the superbowl because he said being in the public eye effects him spirtually? sounds like that's his cross to bear rather than ours.
Nobody said he shouldn't do the Superbowl or drop music 😭
If he's rapping about not wanting to be in the public eye, then he goes off doing photoshoots I'll call him out cause I think it's funny. It's really not that serious and it has nothing to do with Drake?
This site cracks me up
All these months later Kendrick still got em upset because he moves on his own time and accord
some of you niggas should be journalist/brand strategist the way yall nitpick everything
doing the super bowl ?
Super Bowl isnt industry to yall
reread my statement

I'm using drake as an example.
I have no idea how people are misconstruing Watch the party die as some "anti industry, I'm not performing at these organisations anymore" anthem, rather than a song going at some of the ill individuals in the industry like Ak, like Diddy, etc.

If I tell you I don't drink alcohol a lot cause I don't like hangovers that doesn't mean I never drink

Lmao right, these people think in black and white

Sucking up to the critics and publications. Only big rapper who is desperate enough to send them his album b4 release in order to have positive reviews on the day it got released. Only pop stars do that nowadays

They take everything Kendrick says hyper literal. They are like children

I definitely think it's the other way around
