1. He's really talented
2. A lot of white people don't really care if people of other races are low-key racist against them (and it does overlap with the white guilt phenomenon, yes)

I think it's because he's very non-threatening due to his tiny stature.

How can someone even be racist against us? They be like "fuck you whitey, creatin' all this technology n civilization n shit" lmaoo

ah kno das rite! he sho nuff be talented an sheeit!

we wuz, you stole it from uz

Why do incels care so much about identity politics. Kendrick is a good musician therefore people listen to him regardless of race

If white people are listening to it, that's how you know it's not good.

I'm not even a kendrick fan but he just makes music that's too intelligent for niggers so only whites listen

They feel like they understand what it’s like to be black through him

not a single woman lol

reminder that this website has been taken over by autistic latino boys

A rapper

Is a good musician

That shit right there is why people can be racist to whites, that sentiment you see on this website a lot about anyone not being white automatically means they're subhuman or lesser than.

Wite pepo dont season they food

I actually dislike him because I’m white.

It’s usually true though.

Women don't like angry manlets like him

white women over 30, you mean

Yeah let’s just forget the guns, drugs, propaganda, pollution, hate crimes, wars, etc. Are you a fucking schizo or something? Of course you are

You must be 18 years or older to use this website.

This site got completely raided by pathetic people, resentful against any kind of people that threatens them and their fragile egos, be them latino, black or women even. Btw, Kendrick sucks major dick. Can't stand that nigga's voice.

Kendrick is a good musician

what instrument does he play?

vocal chords

dislikes white people

90% of his audience is white

says Drake isn't black enough to say n-word

Drake says it more

dislikes Drake

Drake made him famous

hates Drake

Kendrick's biggest hit is literally about Drake

No one has cared about Kendrick since 2017.

I like how Anon Babble thinks that black people not listening to him means he's bad

You must be 18 years or older to use this website

The only people who think he matters are washed Millenial hipsters still living in 2015.

That’s a good point he’s not good at anything

/thread

That's how you know he's music is good

This don't even make sense, why would someone feel threated by a woman?

he's not even a musician let alone a good one. to call him that is an insult to real musicians

Indeed. In fact he's, dare I say it..."not music". t. AYRT

Because of the fact that they can't have them, and that makes them realize that they're undesirable.

Poc really do think they'd live in an utopia without western civilization lmao

White people unironically support chicago drill killer niggas but get mad if I listen toBurzum
Explain this behavior
(btw I like rap and like half of Kendrick music)

he's not a musician he's a political totem for Millenial Democrats

it's about being a white ally and how Kendricks music caters to that, the discourse and all that stuff. plus it's like accessible to them. actually when tpab came out I asked my normie classmates in high school what they felt about the album and the only response I remember was "I felt like white people could relate to that." I'M NOT RACIST

*couldn't relate, oops

kendrick appeals to fans of concept albums and 'art music' and most of them are white

He's a pawn in a much bigger chess game of liberal culture war politics. If you're young, white and lean Democrat, you like Kendrick Lamar because he articulates a version of blackness that has been deemed worthy of praise by a white liberal critical establishment. They overintellectualize and overpraise him, which I actually think he himself realises and resents deep down. How can he be the only rapper worthy of a Pulitzer when he's standing on the shoulders of about 50 rappers whose pens are just as impressive if not more impressive than his?

It's no coincidence that his biggest hit is a diss track against Drake, an artist who represents a version of blackness that white liberal elites find deeply problematic (misogynistic, materialistic, glorifying violence, etc.). Through Kendrick they attempted to fight a culture war within black culture (deploying armies of bots and discord trannies who even infected this board during that beef), which funnily enough will only serve to kill black culture in the long-term (nobody wants to listen to blackety black fake activist nonsense in the club). For hip hop to survive Kendrick Lamar must be destroyed, which is why I think he's in for a great fall in the not too distant future.

he thinks the state of his country is civilized

KWAR

Yeah didn't drake make kendrick's career? even before the rap beef thing drake featured him I believe
Genuinely what the fuck are you talking about, Sure blacks will like it but white people will eat this shit up, even if the new album isn't as lyrical as his others

He won the Pulitzer because no one else signed up for it. It’s a raffle prize. Also Kendrick is just like Drake in his version of blackness

Kendrick loves white people though

First paragraph: you were right about everything except this:

I actually think he himself realises and resents deep down.

Highly doubt it: Kendrick has always been an industry plant with the Snoop / Dre cosigns since day one. I think he knows the game and knows how to play it. He's all play pretend; I'd bet my left nut he's completely aware of how untalented he is when compared to someone like Andre 3K, Mos Def or even Em. He's just PC friendly music for whitebois who want the "I'm not racist" pass for themselves, white guilt and all. He exploited white guilt his whole career to make a career for himself. Makes you think.

He's a pawn in a much bigger chess game of liberal culture war politics. If you're young, white and lean Democrat, you like Kendrick Lamar because he articulates a version of blackness that has been deemed worthy of praise by a white liberal critical establishment.

Almost had something going here.

It's no coincidence that his biggest hit is a diss track against Drake, an artist who represents a version of blackness that white liberal elites find deeply problematic (misogynistic, materialistic, glorifying violence, etc.).

And then you wrote this out. Drake is about as menacing as Will Smith, he's a shallow, corporate mixed race ex-child actor whose "audience" is just as white as Kendrick's.

He is a nigger rapper with no court cases and no problematic real life drama. He directly caters to them. Only niggers hate Kendrick.

Break Every Rule [Capitol, 1986]
Charges that Tina has betrayed her precious heritage come twenty years too late--not since she and Ike reeled off five straight r&b top-tens between 1960 and 1962 has she pursued the black audience with any notable passion. Her benefactors of the late '60s were Phil Spector, Bob Krasnow, the Rolling Stones, and the Las Vegas International Hotel, where she and Ike were fixtures at the time of Elvis's comeback; their big numbers of the early '70s were the totemic rock anthems "Come Together" and "Proud Mary." That she should now realize the pop fabrications of white svengalis is just a couple more steps down the same appointed path, and she's damned good at it, even an innovator--Private Dancer remains the archetypal all-singles all-hits multiproducer crossover, and Whitney Houston should be so soulful. Unfortunately, the follow-up musters no archetypal crossover singles, and no totemic rock anthems either (Bryan Adams induces her to go metal, which is more than Bowie or Knopfler can claim). Fortunately, ranking svengali Terry Britten gets his own state-of-the-pop-art side. If he and Tina can't convince you that rich people have feelings too, you're some kind of bigot for sure. B+

Also Kendrick is just like Drake in his version of blackness

Also, this. He's never been different, he was actually trying to be "black" in a forced way with his party bangers, which sound like black guy posing as being ghetto while half rapping his way through a Drake beat, ironically.

All rappers are a minstrel show for suburban whites. They're laughing at him and not with him, which is why so many black performers "go crazy" when they realize that.

imo kendrick is a more honest version of snoop and dre, who were from the ghetto but were insulated by having a decent family or some money, never got into gangs but went to school with people who did. As much as he acts tough to lean into the bad boy from Compton image that sells albums he doesn't cross over into just pretending like he was a murderer

He's never been different, he was actually trying to be "black" in a forced way with his party bangers

I noticed Tupac's party tracks always felt meh too like he just did them to check off a box on a list.

White people just love West Coast Niggas. That's the real answer. West Coast Niggas are much better dealing with whites than other blacks.

Dre - smacked a black bitch in her face whites love him nigga got his own nigga grammy
Snoop - nigga was on trial for murder and doing the superbowl in every ad on earth
Xzibit - literal gangbanger - Pimp My Ride
Tyler - rape rape rape faggot faggot faggot - God to zoomer whites
Shit even literal who Vince Staples got his own damn Netflix show

West Coast Niggas just have whites on lock. Not like them Chicago niggas. They do everything they can to kill them Chicago niggas. And they literally don't understand a goddamn thing that the down South niggas are even saying nobody does. And as for you hating ass East Coast Niggas, you niggas act more white than the whites. You niggas may as well be white so they don't give a fuck to even care about you. Half of you niggas lightskin and mixed anyway.

Kanye West is the black american most desperate for white approval in the nation's entire history.

The thing is, Snoop and Dre are actually about that life, even if they didn't partake in it; they actually are enthusiastic about their roots and their culture. Kendrick has always seemed like a black guy that wanted to be white desu, he just forces being hood imo, I never believed any of it. His socially conscious joints also strike me as inauthentic. In short, I feel he just has crafted a socially correct persona to achieve fame, -and his persona is not even something he's actually enthusiastic about or believes in-, which is the reason why his music seems so lame to me: rapping about shit you don't care about to people who don't care about said shit, but everyone pretends to care for fear of being singled out. I bet that nigga doesn't even smoke weed or care about big booty bitches. It's all a farce.

Maybe, but Pac was way more authentic than Kendrick. He never seemed calculated or PC in the way Kendrick does, just vulnerable and real.

Snoop actually murdered people, he's not innocent, lol. He got away with it by agreeing to become a LEA snitch.

It's our best friends in the media establishment telling the kids what's cool since the 60's.

Who do you think is making his country uncivilized?

He featured on a song that was on the GTA V soundtrack that went something like "you don't have to like it cos the hood gonna love it". I remember everytime that song came on I thought it was the perfect line to appeal the kind of White people who fetishize blacks but have never had to (and don't really want to) deal with them much in real life.

White people just love West Coast Niggas. That's the real answer. West Coast Niggas are much better dealing with whites than other blacks.

Probably more to do with location. LA is a laid-back, sexy place so they're a lot more marketable than grimy Midwestern Chicago.

that's not even kendrick, is it?

never got into gangs

Snoop and Dre? lol
And Kendrick is LYING AF when he says he wasn't in any gang shit. Nah it was just every single one of his friends, every single member of his family and every single person in TDE including its founder except him. Yeah right. Kendrick talks that unity shit, it's all nonsense that nigga only cares about pirus that pop out shit was all piru and blood sets + Schoolboy Q. Sex Money Murder is a blood set. His only goal is to unify the Bloods.

Goddamn right.

Kendrick is a shitty watered down version of what conscious rappers were doing before he'd attained puberty.

he's always wanted to be a hipster and makes a big deal out of how he was composing music on his Amiga when he was 13--not even most white people had a computer back then to say nothing of black families.

To me it's he puts on a family man act while simultaneously cheated on his fiancée, that's what makes me feel like he isn't authentic about any of that stuff in particular, I couldn't give less of a shit about his race but the image he puts on for people is what annoy the hell out of me, he's not a religious family man who's loyal to his family, he's a bastard who would backstab you if it benefits him, he's like if Snoop put on his non threatening persona at the start of his career, both are people you should never trust even if they're family

Kendrick's handlers gamed the system well.

slap some jazz horns on his albums so critics be like "fucking wow man, an actual band with actual musicians and not a DAW sample beat/loop XD"

Get nuked, scumbag
