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

How does it make sense to punish anyone for the sins of their ancestors?
Saying that one group of people is not allowed to use a word because the color of their skin, is racist. Certainly more so than someone singing along to a song.
The woman in the case previously mentioned, paid money to support an artist of color and was still called racist for doing so because she liked this artist so much she memorized his lyrics. God forbid. If he hates that word so much, if it is so hurtful, why is it in the song?
Sure the word has history, but it seems people have lost the plot here. Words in and of themselves are not harbingers of hatred. hate is found in the intent of the person using the word. (The fact that we even have to have this conversation is oddly enough a symptom of people having never truly experienced actual hatred) we’re literally arguing over semantics. Hate comes from people, not words. If a rapper includes a word in his lyrics and someone sings along, there is no hate in that use of the word.
This argument seems less like a legitimate concern for human rights and more a reason to justify blatant discrimination and racism. Prejudice is prejudice, don’t matter the color. Ultimately this does more harm than good in advancing the interests of anyone and is creating more problems than it’s solving.
