I'm kinda conflicted about the new Kendrick. It bangs and it's great on a musical level, but I'm super tired of Kendrick's "institutional racism is bad, but black-on-black crime exists so I guess we all have something to learn :smug:" holier-than-thou bullshit. I'm not looking forward to a whole album of respectability politics raps.

She was right but she was arguing with the wrong person. He said some dumb stuff that sounded like respectability politics and everyone jumped down this throat.

My counterargument is that it's way easier to point fingers at impoverished black kids with no opportunities than it is to examine the hundreds of years of institutionalized racism this country is founded on. But I guess any Fox News talking points will sound revolutionary if the beat is hot enough, so :shrug:

Black people aren't thralls to the system. Kendrick thoroughly addresses white supremacy and the self destructive behaviors in the black community. The two are not mutually exclusive.

It's weird. It's a thin line between saying that there are some things that it's possible for us to do to make the situation somewhat better for ourselves. and the bullshit notion that we need to do those things to gain the right to be respected in the eyes of the system.

For instance. I have a problem with like Mike Huckabee or Fox News Anchor "x" saying that Mike Brown or Garner brought an execution on themselves because they stole something or selling cigarettes. That if we didn't listen to the rapity raps or didn't kill each other THEN the loving white man will embrace us, if only we didn't kill each other then we would have salvation. Because they use it as a way to deflect and obsure the very real sytematic problems in this country.


Someone saying "Yeah, the world is hosed up, and the deck is already stacked against you, You are being set up to fail, Maybe try not to fight each other " Doesn't trigger that same anger in me.

What happened to [Michael Brown] should've never happened. Never. But when we don't have respect for ourselves, how do we expect them to respect us?

The obvious flaw in that quote is that racially motivated hatred isn't going to be affected by the targets for that hatred having self-respect or not.

Kendrick was wrong in that quote but he wasn't condoning street executions. People seem to struggle with that concept.

That Kendrick track is pretty good, and while it can't be the track that anchors the album it's a worthwhile snippet/preview and gives me a little more confident that it won't totally disappoint.
