I'm sorry but Kendrick Lamar's new single is spewing some hotep rhetoric and it's becoming really hard for me to stan him here's why:
Kendrick prides himself as being a "conscious" or "woke" rapper yet, I've found that his commentary on black women is hardly that
-
-
In his new single, humble, he talks about want to see "something natural like ass with stretch marks" and that he finds these traits sexy.
-
He neglects to voice any care for how women feel about their bodies and speaks on his own selfish sexual desires. ....nigga.. come on now..
-
He also touches on how he's "sick and tired of Photoshop" and displays an images of a light skin girl with no make up in his music video.
-
Tens of thousands black women missing/dead in the u.s and no one is doing anything about it. But, we still talking bout what we look like?
-
I'm not with it. Black women are not here for your visual or sexual pleasure. We are our own.
-
@kendricklamar I'm a heavy fan so it's disappointing that humble neglects to speak on real struggles of black women, not just our bodies. -
This whole thread makes no sense. If you really a kendrick fan then you know he celebrates black women of all shades, sizes, etc
-
kendrick literally uses black woman as a symbol to analogize the relationship between Uncle Sam and the black man on for free on tpab ????

I've never seen Kendrick "pride himself" as conscious. Just because he doesn't talk about popping pills every verse doesn't make him "woke"

Could it just be that he is saying Stretch marks or not do you because you are beautiful all the same.
-

True but I'm just trying to play devils advocate here
