>>65664867
i really like Untitled 03
>>65664867
Rigamortus
>>65664957
This
For Sale?
These Walls.
I don't know. I don't listen to racists.
Sing about me, I'm dying of thirst
Untitled 5.
>>65664983
Severly underrated. Probably cause it's an interlude, but godamn is it beautiful
Fuck Your Ethnicity
Untitled 7
>>65664867
Sing About Me
Tammy's Song
Complexion
>>65664966
this
maad city objectively
>>65664867
king kunta
>>65667179
It's a great banger and one of his more emotionally-charged pieces. However, I might not call it his best/most complex piece
Are black supremacists really this popular on /mu/?
>>65667456
yeah it's great
>>65664867
Control or Hiiipower.
>>65666210
yeah Sing About Me
I've only listened to Kendrick like once or twice, so can't remember anything besides Hiii Power.
Compton
Swimming Pools
Sing About Me, I'm Dying of Thirst.
>>65664867
Which one is the shortest?
>>65664999
Best song. also nice trips
>>65667580
pretty sure chapter 10 is

What are his concerts like?
Does he tell the white people in the crowd to check their privilege?
YOU AINT GOTTA LIE
ok where the fuck did the whole Kendrick is an sjw thing come from? seriously give me an example
WE WUZ KANGS N SHEEIT
>>65669159
this is 4chan and he's black, thus he hates white people
For Free is honestly one of my favorites. Never heard anything like it. It's an interesting song but it's also really fun
Fuck Your Ethnicity
too bad he got famous and stopped thinking like this
>>65664867
Probably How Much a Dollar Cost? But its hard to choose. All of section .80 was pretty good. I don't know why mu hates him so much, honestly.
>>65669507
It's a combination of that he became a mainstream star (ergo, "normie" music) and /pol/-influenced annoyance with TPABs Afrocentrism.
>>65665091
>Fuck Your Ethnicity
>Gather round
>Keisha
>Tammy
as long as you skip the intro to "With that being said, FUCK your ethinicity"
Also, Kendrick is a hypocritical racist.

>>65669744
I asked for an example
>>65669425
he literally made an entire song on his TPAB saying quote "complexion don't mean a thing"
and he fucking dated a white woman
but yeah ok he's a black supremacist ooga booga I love 4chan

Buried Alive Interlude
>>65669713
yes so is all that BLM music
even saying nigga gets loaded within the context of his songs
young thug is the most progressive rapper out right now you cannot contest this:
he literally doesnt give 2 shits about race shit, doesnt acknowledge it at all
goes against the standard hip-hop expectations of 'rough, manly young man' by dressing and acting like he does
never made a song to profit of the BLM hype
10/10 Goat
also his best song is cartoon and cereal, collect calls or blue faces i think. if only gunplay didnt ruin the first 1 ...
>>65664983
YES
>>65669984
>not Westside Right on Time
besides, Ronald Reagan Era is Kendrick's best track
>>65675415
Hi-Tunes when
u
>>65675554
before summer's over
I think Kendrick is okay. I really enjoy Alright and everything on TPAB up to u, which has fucking intolerably bad rapping on it, so bad that I shut off the record.
That said, SJW faggots get real good and triggered when you respond to anything K dot related with "Kill whitey."
>>65675523
WERE FAR FROM GOOD NOT GOOD FROM FAR
Wesley's Theory
>>65669818
why are people forgetting about his best song?
hiipower and wesley's theory is great too
I sense a lack of "i" in this thread

I mean, u is supposed to pretty much be a mental breakdown in a motel. It's not supposed to be pleasant to listen to. He's feeling guilty for not getting to see his friend in the hospital before he died while he was on tour for GKMC, on top of not being there for his teenage sister who got pregnant.
>>65680072
The origin of the word nigga/nigger is from the Ethiopian word negus, meaning king or ruler. While black leaders and popular figures like Oprah try to tell rap artists to get rid of the word, Kendrick is embracing its original meaning.
>>65670868

Kush and Corinthians is one of the smoothest fucking things I've ever listened to. Kendrick's got some great fucking producers behind him.
>>65683692
>>65685408
I don't think he's saying that nigga/nigger comes from the word negus. I think he's just trying to redefine it in a positive way.
I'm gonna oust myself as a newfag to /mu/ but can someone explain why people are posting /pol/ memes in a Kendrick thread? I'd expect of all places on 4chan /mu/ would get that rap isn't exclusively black music anymore.
>>65687695
/pol/ is cancer. Cancer spreads.
>>65683542
A million fucking times this. The closest he's come to going that hard on a track is his Black Friday verse.

"[Intro]
Everything black, I don't want black (They want us to bow)
I want everything black, I ain't need black (Down to our knees)
Some white, some black, I ain't mean black (And pray to a God)
I want everything black (That we don't believe)
Everything black, want all things black
I don't need black, want everything black
Don't need black, our eyes ain't black
I own black, own everything black"
"[Verse 1]
I'm the biggest hypocrite of 2015
Once I finish this, witnesses will convey just what I mean
Been feeling this way since I was 16, came to my senses
You never liked us anyway, fuck your friendship, I meant it
I'm African-American, I'm African
I'm black as the moon, heritage of a small village
Pardon my residence
Came from the bottom of mankind
My hair is nappy, my dick is big, my nose is round and wide
You hate me don't you?
You hate my people, your plan is to terminate my culture
You're fuckin' evil I want you to recognize that I'm a proud monkey"
>>65664999
Song is way too chill.
It's perfect
>>65690376
>you're not allowed to have a dissenting opinion on the internet
>>>/tumblr/
>>65690449
The literal first line of that goddamn verse is "I'm the biggest hypocrite of 2015" and if you listened till the end you would have realized that he was making a point about black on black violence you illiterate fucking bastard
>>65690449
"[Verse 3]
I'm the biggest hypocrite of 2015
When I finish this if you listenin' then sure you will agree
This plot is bigger than me, it's generational hatred
It's genocism, it's grimy, little justification
I'm African-American, I'm African
I'm black as the heart of a fuckin' Aryan
I'm black as the name of Tyrone and Darius
Excuse my French but fuck you — no, fuck y'all
That's as blunt as it gets, I know you hate me, don't you?
You hate my people, I can tell cause it's threats when I see you
I can tell cause your ways deceitful
Know I can tell because you're in love with that Desert Eagle
Thinkin' maliciously, he get a chain then you gone bleed him
It's funny how Zulu and Xhosa might go to war
Two tribal armies that want to build and destroy
Remind me of these Compton Crip gangs that live next door
Beefin' with Pirus, only death settle the score
So don't matter how much I say I like to preach with the Panthers
Or tell Georgia State "Marcus Garvey got all the answers"
Or try to celebrate February like it's my B-Day
Or eat watermelon, chicken, and Kool-Aid on weekdays
Or jump high enough to get Michael Jordan endorsements
Or watch BET cause urban support is important
So why did I weep when Trayvon Martin was in the street when gang banging make me kill a nigga blacker than me?
Hypocrite!"
Kill yourself. Absolutely BTFO
this last verse is literally attacking the BLACK community you fucking ridiculous tree nigger

[Hook]
I said they treat me like a slave, cah' me black
Woi, we feel a whole heap of pain, cah' we black
And man a say they put me inna chains, cah' we black
Imagine now, big gold chains full of rocks
How you no see the whip, left scars pon' me back
But now we have a big whip parked pon' the block
All them say we doomed from the start, cah' we black
Remember this, every race start from the block, jus 'member dat
>implying the entire song wasn't an attack on his understanding of black culture
>implying any black person in America could relate to what slaves went through
>>65690535
He's practically blaming white culture for training black people to kill eachother, and that you should never kill another black person, because that's what "whitey" would want

Perhaps one day you'll realize how "black power/black pride" movements and ideologies are a part of the problem of perpetually circulating racism. Constantly crying oppression until the roles are reversed and the "minorities" hold a tyrannical rule over the majority. Blaming others for your own crimes and shortcomings achieves nothing beside oppressing the ones you seek to succeed.

>>>/pol/
>>65690423
He was always like that, you just grew up.
>>65691037
But that's not what it's about you petty baby. Black power started out as a movement to empower african americans because they were literally being murdered in the street for no reason. I'm not talking about Trayvon Martin where there was ambiguity to the killing. I mean lynched in the streets for literally no reason. And peaceful protest couldn't do jack shit to protect people from being dragged out of their homes and businesses to be beaten like fucking dogs just because of the color of their skin. And the people who killed them of course weren't being charged or convicted of those crimes. It's not about holding a tyrannical rule over the majority. It's about not being fucking merc'd in broad daylight without any hope of fair trial.
>durr but black people aren't being lynched anymore so they should stop complaining
And that's purposefully missing the point. This shit's not ancient history. The civil rights act was passed only 52 years ago and it's not like the situation was perfect afterwards. Racial prejudice endured for long after that and it continues to this day. I don't even give a shit about BlackLivesMatter. I know white males are more likely to be shot than blacks. Just stop being such a cunt and stop spouting this bullshit rhetoric of "blaming others".
>>65667701
>it's okay for me to be racist

Fuck off. KDot's not even slightly racist.

So what you're saying is, nothing is different because everything has changed?
You say that none of this happens anymore but because it DID happen at a time we should act like it's STILL an ongoing issue, which is completely retarded and devoid of logic.
Just because at one time there was no age of consent, is not reason to believe that all men are currently pedophiles.
There is a definition for that way of thinking, and it's called "reverse racism" and is equally as destructive as institutional racism used to be,
