"I'M THE BIGGEST HYPOCRITE IN 2015
Once I finish this, witnesses will convey just what I mean, I mean, it's evident that I'm irrelevant to society
That's what you're telling me, penitentiary would only hire me"
For the actual Black people that browse /mu/ (if any) how do you respond to Kendrick Lamar's lyrics in his music about Black America and the African American struggle?
Do you agree with his messages? If not, do you even like his music?
I personally think The Black the Berry is one of the most powerful songs Kendrick has written so far in his music career. I don't agree with some of the messages in the song but musically it's just amazing.
Half black, quarter Colombian, quarter white person here
Oppressed minorities is an old meme and isn't relevant to modern day. The days of Rodney King and Boyz N The Hood are over, police don't give a shit about race anymore. White guilt has been milked too much, and the "poor me" mentality of blacks has run dry. They act like they're the only fucking oppressed group, like Irish weren't enslaved, Native Americans weren't treated like shit, and the Hispanics didn't get shit on by the government (and still do desu). Kendrick's a good artist, and Blacker the Berry is more about afrocentricism and accepting responsibilities than "boo hoo my great great granddaddy worked on a field". I've lived in North Philly my whole life, and let me tell you, if anyone's oppressed it's the poor. Racism isn't the problem, it's poverty. Poverty and the perpetuation and glorification of violence and gangs. Hell, look at Chicago.

Black guy here.
The Blacker the Berry is the song of the decade. It hits all of the points that black people struggle with everyday (from stereotypes to a system literally rigged to make you fail) while still touching on big issues like the hypocrisy within the black community. And he does it in a humanizing way by saying "I'M the biggest hypocrite of 2015" and not trying to point fingers and lecture down to his audience.
As far as the rest of the album, it's incredibly dense, I gotta say. I really like how iconic Alright is, a feel good song that reassures black people that they're not alone in these scary ass times. For Free? is fucking amazing.
Musically, it's not very catchy, but the lyrics more than make up for it and after a couple of listens you get used to it. Untitled Unmastered was better musically, but not as good lyrically.

am Irish, Irish people aren't oppressed in the modern day due to slavery, I think black Americans still are
just my personal opinion
How does it feel to know that this man unironically makes more money than your favorite artist?
How does one make money ironically?
I doubt fantano is richer than me.
Yeah but I'm not buying his album, so he can fuck off anyway

Why does Twigs try so hard to dress like a artsy freak, instead of just letting the music speak for itself?
Seems like she's trying to pull a Gaga
>>65786635
this has to be bait? QUESTION MARK!
>>65786635
her style isn't that outlandinsh. modern music is very visually oriented, especially if you have an attractive, marketable face attached to it.

...do you guys only listen to indie rock?
It is a real shame that Red Hot Chili Peppers never will be as good as it was with Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magik, Californication, By the Way and Stadium Arcadium. It makes me depressed to think about.

RHCP sucks donkeydick you roody-poo
>>65786531
Last track was pretty good and it has some other nice ones. I dig the "reverb-y minimalistic guitar on top of funky basslines and jazzy drums" approach. Kiedis voice is annoying as usual. Songwriting is not at their strongest. REALLY wished they got out of the box more. If they experimentated with wilder sounds it could have been better. Overall, an enjoyable listen, but I'd only go back to a few tracks and that's it.
>>65786963
OP here, I actually could not agree more. Though I feel like the songwriting on stadium arcadium was kind of weak sometimes as well. In conclusion I don't think I will listen that much to the new tracks compared to how much I listen to anything pre I'm with you though
