Not just Kendrick. Most adults stop caring after they realize how the world works and just focus on themselves tbh lol

You obviously can’t read. I never said he wasn’t an Israelite. I said DAMNs narrative isn’t what makes him one.

I for the most part forgot what was that about which kinda shows how 'strong' of a theory it was. but basically bob dylan blew up quickly off of social commentary, because of it the activist youth thought hes gonna be all that but he didnt want it and wanted to be an artist first. so rather than pursuing activism and whatever he turned to musical exploration via folk and country music, getting together with the Band and doing other artist arcs that dont have anything to do with peoples' expectations of him as a 'figure' in broader sense

and so my theory was that trajectory-wise it echoes Kendricks career in the way people perceive artists/any popular figures and put them onto a crazy pedestal and those artists reacting accordingly

Crazy how Noname made both, Cole and Kdot drop their social conscious image

he may have dropped the image but Kendrick had heaps of socially conscious and political lines and even had a whole song dedicated to homophobia and transphobia, Mr Morale is not an individualistic album

You definitely did say that, but I see you have bigger issues

Niggas that can't read, telling niggas that they can't read KTT always been the place for inexperience

Yea, i feel like it's a different type of socially conscious writing tho. On the auntie song, he is talking more about his experience with those issues rather than making a grand societal statement on that topic

This thread is the definition of shambles bravo OP

thread still highly relevant

he is always talking about his experience with those issues no matter the album, but his delivery is far more real and down to earth on Mr Morale, it cuts through and feels more like its coming from the heart

the point of Savior and this album is to tear down the image stans have of him and show that he is not perfect (although tbh he's been doing this his whole career but the most on this album) while still bringing light to important societal struggles, which is a 10x better angle to take than simply commenting on stuff

You gotta be a next level narcissist to think you are going to change the world dolo, especially by doing nothing but preaching about it

Glad he's getting help

Closest rappers have come to "changing the world" post 1990 were Pac and Ye. Pac got killed and Ye is one twitter post away from being locked up in a psych ward

Kendrick threads turn into fan fiction quick

@op made a classic, it’s time-tested

best post I seen in this thread

Hip hop is a “black” American art form that’s always rejected and placed at the bottom of the totem pole yet it sparks convos like this. It’s funny. Especially when you consider a lot of the people that are the loudest with their opinions are only invested out of curiosity, this includes other “black” people apart of the diaspora

Even if niggas don’t change the world with rap I’d say the genre has made an impact that most people wouldn’t have predicted

I love it lol
