It's not his job to solve situations in the middle east
But it is weird that he chooses to work with ppl who actively support people destroying the middle east
The difference is Ed is bigger than Kendrick + the expectation of "white privilege" should lead to white artists taking the bigger hit than the black artist that on average has more to lose.
Macklemore is probably richer than some of our most popping black rappers (not big 3) just off the fact he has achieved his level of success while independent hence why he started his statement saying "I am not a victim."
We hate rappers for being silent and lacking the bravery but I'ma go out on a limb and say most rappers couldn't afford to do what Macklemore did, Macklemore can. lo.
If Kendrick is possibly one of the biggest rappers in the world. Who idols 2Pac its fair for SOME to be disapointed. I never thought the Nigga was comparable to 2Pac and in many ways mortal man was corny to me
I am not saying he doesnt care about these topics or needs to prove it. I am applying to Salad and Herald how can he jump to Palestine when we haven't directly even seen him be active on things in closer proximity. Not just compton. I mean black issues in america in general he isnt speaking on to that degree
I am saying they are racist and demons in every race. There are islamophobic, transphobic , spit on a homeless white person blackp people. I still think a large generalization of a culture or people doesnt serve us.

He a kid from Cali, everybody from Cali idolize that nigga unless you HittaJ3 man lol.
Mortal Man showcased to me why he'd never be 2pac and Savior last verse (I still believe) he was talking to himself "2pac dead gotta think for yourself"

Hitta that close to him and the nigga cousin Orlando Anderson
he posting happy birthday on twitter

he choose to sign the UMG deal
Kendrick could be independent fully and chooses not to be
and I get that too because they do waste some of their power
somebody literally told me in college if I was white and did only half of the "cool artistic" s*** that I was doing I'd have been rich already lmao
It's because of that thought process that folks do expect more from white people to make that sacrifice because Robert Kraft woulda thought twice about telling Ed to "gtfo" versus a Kendrick Lamar/black artist in general.
It's the whole "white people in front of the march" mentality so that the most vulnerable populations are protected when the march runs into police barricades.
Kendrick could be independent fully and chooses not to be
Because the big 3 all know they needed the machine to help push them to...well being the big 3.
If #otherrapper didn't go indie than what that mean for the rest of the landscape?

kendrick did say if pirus and crips all got along they probably gun his ass down
That has to be exhausting growing up with family/friends that just by address don't like each other

forgot about this thread tbh, good looks
If Kendrick would do the same exact actions as Ed Sheeran and all that seprates them is white privilege yet he would still be highly successful and make a lot of money either way then what are we talking about @insertcoolnamehere
No I mean working with Pharrell
can't argue wit that one

Boggles my mind every time I see it

*and tours that almost reach a billi in gross
Ed Sheeran still has a farther reach than Kendrick does just off the fact that one is a rapper and the other is not lol.
And I don't have an answer because we haven't seen it however SZA been public with her palestine support for years both online and in public during the SOS tour. I would like to believe if SZA had done that during the grand national tour Kendrick wouldn't kick her off lol.
Thread title made me laugh out loud

I mean if we always say only rich white people have the privilege and power needed to speak up that is also cowardly
If she had fully gone in on the topic, had a song on the topic and stadiums were like "nah we not rocking with that" Kendrick going to tell her to stop talking about it to that degree
SZA cares but isnt a Kehlani level of cares
