Is it me or am I getting some real 2020 vibes from this entire situation? If you're not posting about X, you must be Y. Why? How tf is this activism in any form or fashion? Y'all are genuinely turning a genocide into a hashtag and believe y'all are more morally superior for it? The f***? How does speaking on some politics, but not others, suddenly remove the validity of them?

If you're an activist for Palestine, put that energy into donating, protesting, f***ing anything but sitting your fat ass on the internet trying to slander a rapper that is already working towards his own community. If your activism starts and stops at "well, my fav celeb says what I want them to", that's not activism

Like s***, am I to assume every person I know that doesn't post about LGBTQ+ rights wants them to burn in hell or some s***? Stfu!

The internet is not a real place

It's also mostly bots

Go to a bar or sit down at any other place where people gather for an evening and have some real conversations with people, they are not talking about this kind of stuff

Humanity is inherently flawed and will fall short of most areas. Just take y'all public lashings as a fan base and move it along

Please delete the slop machine apps man

Is Kendrick Lamar getting dragged rn or something? I am off of social media

He needs to come out with a “short film” where he dances like a disabled person to let us know who he stands for

Its always great to have struggling voices amplified . The people holding pitchforks are of course being crazy and chronically online. But it is always nice to see amplification. But if amplification doesnt happen by a certain human, than so be it

You have offended me and thus I am cancelling you.

there’s valid points to make about kendrick’s JAY-Z coded black excellence liberalism, but most of the people using Palestine to criticize him don’t genuinely care and their activism begins and ends with whether or not they can use it for or against their fav

It's kinda like the "Drake the type to...." era where people are piling on an artist because they're a human and they do silly things

somehow in the Ed Sheeran & Macklemore fallout, Kendrick's name got dragged into it cause..

He's popular
He's a rapper
He's labelled as conscious

Haven't seen it from anyone besides white Drake fans that think it's a gotcha to turn a genocide into made up brownie points

I wish people would actually criticize Kendrick on the things he has invited criticism for rather than grasping at straws attempting to frame him as a genocidal empathizer

Out before this inevitably turns into another Stan wars thread

which would end up proving my point on this thread lol

After the Mike Brown stuff, I sincerely do NOT wanna hear this nigga's take on Israel and Palestine

I feel like Kendrick has never really been a "world politics" type of rapper. He just talked about s*** from his own life and that got him put under a "political rapper" umbrella because the inner city life he came from and politics are inherently linked

Ask Wasserman

on this site in particular it’s like a handful of posters max that are actually well read enough to criticize capitalism and celebrity politics in the sense of how it’s mostly bread and circus and a distraction from any real work being done

some of the complaints i see from people about kendrick “not doing enough” or whatever are just as liberal or politically “empty” as he is half the time

ig i'm just tired that anything having to do with Kendrick these days has become ragebait slop

I lost interest in this thread but I feel you

This is almost every artist now

Kendrick Lamar is my best friend and he has great reasons why his political activism is limited to DNC approved topics

my local drunk at my local strip bar said peter thiel already got a worse legacy than dahmer
