This funny to see the OT triggered by Kendrick and a song they don't even understand.
Can you link me to this big triggering event? You're trying so hard to make this a bigger issue than it is. A couple people don't speak for the entirety of the OT.

You guys really want to talk about "triggering" and a "melt" that you're not really finding
A couple of people poking fun isn't a "melt"
Sweet melt, racist.

Seems like the only little fellow in here who is even close to going from solid to liquid. You appear to be very emotionally invested in this guy's performance. I didn't watch it; so what gives? Why all the feels?

I was not emotionally invested in his performance. I just think it's a bit unfair to judge Kendrick Lamar and call him a racist without some people doing some research on what his message truly is.

Kendrick's stuff around 2011-2013 was great. His music sucks now.

Let me put it like this, you guys have nothing to be worried about. He's not trying to take over a country, he's not pushing some democratic agenda, he's trying to reach the black youth that are in gangs and criminal activity who look up to him and listen to his music. influence is and can be on these kids, and he's using that power on the biggest platform possible.
I couldnt understand one damn word he was saying..Very doubtful any of the youth he's trying to reach out to could either

The imagery is the first thing they see which scares them and leads to an uninformed, ignorant opinion
You expect us to see thru the image and hear the message? You expect us to decipher his message when clearly it was targeted at one group of people? It was the Gramys. Everyone was watching it. Including people like me who had no idea how to decipher what he meant in his lyrics.
I wasn't privy to the little decoder ring that was mailed out to the minority group so for you to egregiously expect for me to know wtf he was talking about in that song.........
So it meant something totally different that what it appeared to almost the entire rest of America.
Good. We get it. Awesome that y'all have your own little code that only y'all can understand.

Maybe you can understand this quote from him when asked about Ferguson that made the black community call him an uncle tom.
Or the lyrics to the song that he rapped last night that people on here are saying he's race baiting with.
He's one of the only rappers these days that actually sees things the way they actually are.
quote:
“Asked about the high-profile killings of African-Americans by police in 2014, from Ferguson, Mo., to Staten Island, Kendrick says, “I wish somebody would look in our neighborhood knowing that it’s already a situation, mentally, where it’s f—ked up. 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? It starts from within. Don’t start with just a rally, don’t start from looting — it starts from within.”
Or the lyrics to the song that he rapped last night that people on here are saying he's race baiting with.

So why did I weep when Trayvon Martin was in the street?
When gang banging make me kill a n**** blacker than me?
Hypocrite!

quote:why would i dig that deep to find something he said in the past? I don't give a frick and nobody else does either. Good for you. You care enough about him to know what he's about and what he's said in the past. That is not what this thread is about and nobody knows wtf his agenda is.

I see it but still don't know what you or him are trying to say. The placement of the word hypocrite just doesn't seem logical at all. I see the word in there but it's just weird.

I just don't get it.

Dude his lyrics were directed at a specific crowd. I'm not that crowd. And you expect everyone to understand when clearly he didn't mean for everyone to understand.

Are you really too stupid to know that more white people get government assistance than black people?
I don't know exact numbers, but I'd bet more whites aren't on it than minorities. I know for a fact thats the case where I live.
It would never happen, but I'd be down for a movement where all taxpayers just say frick it and stop going to work. See how far they make it with out us.
Anyways, that's not the message he's trying to send at all anyway.
Posted on 2/16/16 at 8:59 am to LSUTigahBait
Apparently we white folks are supposed to be offended over his performance last night. I'd have to understand what the frick he was even saying before I could be offended.

Still confused about the Kendrick performance
How were you confused? 2 stages-1 Africa themed, 1 prison themed. He opened his performance in handcuffs and chains. Whether you agree with the BLM movement or not, it was still pretty obvious what he was trying to get across.
FWIW he apparently had a sabbatical in Africa in 2015 and ever since has been on some other shite.

Dude, you need a decoder to read a lot of things at times. Just about anything written in old English you studied in school. But I don't see you up in arms because you didn't understand hamlet.

Pretty racially charged. Oh the times we live in.
