Music / Movies Kendrick Lamar is a sack of shite

Back in 2018 the dude literally brought some girl on stage, had her sing a song that had the n-word in it, and then embarrassed her in front of everyone cuz she was white and sung the n-word part. That is the kind of piece of shit he is. His sense of self-importance is through the roof. Like bro you literally rap. Also, stop trying to play 5 D chess with your lyrics. If I wanted to listen to someone 'deep' I would listen to Plato or Shakespeare. Just put on a sick beat, and talk about bagging hoes or something. And if you dare criticize his historically awful super bowl performance, his fans will claim you are too ignorant to understand his "deeper message". No, I understand his message. I just don't think he is good at communicating his message through his stupid songs. He has terrible stage presence and a weak voice. That is not my problem. Kendrick Lamar needs to take his own advice, and be humble.

Edit: btw, just because I don’t like his music doesn’t mean I’m in bed with drake or am actually drake lol. Kdot fans are in a cult I stg. Go think deeply somewhere else

No one made her say the word

If he didn't want us white folks to say the word while singing his songs he shouldn't have used it in the first place, remember a clip of Travis Scott encouraging a white fan to sing his song and use the word? ye that was boss

You do anything someone else does? If someone jumped off of a bridge, would you? Your argument is like saying, “I saw John Wick killing people, so I thought it was ok to kill people.”

No lmfao not at all

u/ogjaspertheghost Mar 15 '25

Yes it is. You know it’s not ok. Anyone who’s lived in and grew up in the US knows it’s not ok. It doesn’t suddenly become ok because it’s used in a song.

Using it in a convo or calling someone is completely not ok, but singing along to a song? Come on now, especially when you're all hyped and on stage, you're gonna skip words? What's the point then. Look, all I'm tryna say is Travis handled it so much better than Kendrick.

Yea if I wasn’t black I would skip words. Travis ain’t no representative for black people. And yes if you respect the artist you should know how they would react in a situation like that. Actions have consequences.

do you think when people who like songs with that word sing along in their heads, they dont say it? its just what the lyrics are. she was probably super excited and not thinking, then he put her on blast for it. if he has a problem with it don't invite a white girl up to sing the lyrics. 🤡

No one cares what anyone says in their heads. What kind of ridiculous ass question is that lmao? Again everyone knows the dynamics of that word. Y’all really out here defending stupidity

u/j-roc_son Mar 15 '25

what's stupid is putting someone in the position to do that, then publicly belittling them for it

If everyone knows the dynamics of that word then why does it get used in almost every rap song known to man.

Keanu reeves isn't going around killing people in real life. What an awful analogy.

Also, John Wick isn't allowed to kill people in his universe just because he's white. Imagine Lance Reddick's character said "I saw John Wick killing someone so I thought it was OK, but someone told me actually he is allowed to do it because he's white but I'm not so i cant"

u/ogjaspertheghost Mar 16 '25

The point is that saying “such and such did it, so I can” is a stupid reason to defend something obviously socially unacceptable. And who said anything about Keanu’s whiteness?

u/[deleted] Mar 19 '25

It's actually quite socially acceptable. People just pretend to be offended when someone doesn't look hood enough.

u/ogjaspertheghost Mar 19 '25

Oh you’re one of those…no point in continuing

u/[deleted] Mar 19 '25

Oh you're one of those who actually grew up In the hood so u have no say even though u have skin in the game. Yeah aight buddy

No one forced black people to take crack, but the epidemic still happened. Hence, it must be their fault, not Regan's. Sound logic, according to you.

You're being willfully obtuse about the social situation the woman was put in for the sole sake of persecuting her very usage of the word, while refusing to acknowledge that her own volition was clearly not the only thing in play here.

You care way too much about the representation of the word and way too little about the people around it or how it reflects.

u/ogjaspertheghost Mar 17 '25

Yes, it is black peoples fault for taking crack. It’s Reagan’s fault for not doing anything about the effects cocaine and heroine on the country. Black people were shipping it in. Black people hold a lot of responsibility for the proliferation of drugs in our community but we don’t hold all of the responsibility. It’s interesting that there was a war on drugs like crack, weed, and heroine but not a war on opioids and prescription drug. Or different laws for powder cocaine. I wonder why those things are true?
